The election of Plaisted is one of the
most marked endorsements of the honor and
integrity with which Gov. Garcelon and his
council maintained the constitution and the
laws in their canvass of the election returns,
and a most severe condemnation of the Su-
preme Court. Benedict Arnold Chamberlain,
the Davis government, and the Hale Com
mittee, of which il is possible to conceive.
We hope that the bowling of the republican
press over that business will now stop. The
Chronicle has the satisfaction TO remember
that. against all the ostracism, bulldozing,
attempts and threats of violence made
against il, it has from first to last claimed
and proved that the count was the most
honest one the State has had for years and
that the people of the old Pine Tree State
have now endorsed its course.
There is no doubt the victory Just achieved
is largely due to the efforts the Chronicle
has made to enlighten the people on the
relation of the count TO constitutional
government and law and order. Again We
say we have right to feel eminently salts
fed with the result of Mondays elections.
We do not hesitate to say that We do so
feel.-[ Greeabdek Chronicle

natives boarded her, driving the crew into
the cabin and foreeastle, and commenced to
raise the anchor, hoist the man sail and get
the vessel under way. Seeing their move
ments, Capt. Naus returned 10 the vessel
and found the Newfoundlanders very threat
ening. But as the vessel commenced drift
ing on the rocks they were frightened and
left. The vessel came near going ashore
The day previous schooner Victor of Glou-
cester was boarded in similar manner and
violence used 70 prevent her fishing. The
Newfoundland governments objection to
Sunday fishing and the use of a seine does !
not hold in this case, as the crew of the |
Moro Castle were line fishing and had only |
saken ten or dozen squids.
