Another Lie Disposed Of.

As we stated in our last issue Don Powers, Esq.
formerly of Honlton, but now of Newport has
abandoned the Republicans and joined the Fusion
lists 1t will be remembered that the president of
the Newport Greenback club deserted last year and
took the stump with MIR. Hamlin. Now Don says
lip about his action he will tell what he knows about
the transaction, who paid the money and how much
it was. This has thrown a GOODNESS over the meet
ing and the Republicans gnash their teeth in silent
rage and hate Don with good degree of vieor.-
Maine Standard.
The president of the Newport Greenback
Club alluded to, was Frank L. Patton at pres
ent assistant clerk OF the House OF Represen.
tatiyes Immediately after the appearance of
the above item in the Standard, he called upon
Mr.. Powers and asked him what it meant and
what about it. Powers declared that he never
said ANYTHING upon which such a construction
could be based. Powers also made the same
emnhatic declaration in substance, before some
half dozen citizens Of Newport. Mr. Patten
wrote o letter to the publishers OF the STAN
dard setting forth the facts in the case, and re-
spectfully asking for a correction. He has
been informed that the managers OF that paper
are very careful to admit nothing to their col
umns except upon the best authority and for the
present they refuse to make the requested cor
recton. They are simply operating on the
same principle as the rest OF the Fusion papers
manufacturing the most dsmnable lies that
it is possible for depraved minds to concoct,
and then sturdily refuse TO make any correc-
ton or retraction. The people are getting to
understand their tactics, however, and the
Fusion thieves will eventually be hit by a
boomerang.-Newport Times.

Nuts for the Argus to Crack.

The Argus In very general way, excuses
the count-out, but fails to explain any of the
misdeeds of which the Tabulators are ac-
cused 1t does not even touch upon them,
but contents itself with the assertion that
the Governor and Council did no wrong
The people in this State, however, are not
so easily contented. They are inquisitive
and ask numerous questions. We give
some of these questions and invite the Ar
gus to answer them.
The Argus contends that errors were
found by the canvassers in the returns from
Democratic towns. Can it give any reason
why those Democratic errors all occurred
where they did not affect the result while
almost every Republican error lost a Repnb-
lican Representative? The gifted Fogg at
tributes this fact to the interpostion of the
Great Jehovah Does the Argus take the
same view of it?
Is it true or is it false that the Tabulators
refused to allow Republican errors in the
returns to be corrected by the records while
Fusion returns were corrected? If not true
how happened it that returns William
B. Skillin and William B. Skillins
were counted for the same man;
that votes for Isaac F. Quimby
and Isaac F. Quinby were counted for the
same man; that votes for James r. Talbot,
John r. Talbot and James r. Talbart were
counted for the same man; that votes for
Charles Rankins and Charles Rankin were
counted for the same man; while votes for
Francis w. Redlon and Francis W. Redlond
were counted for two men, and while votes
for John Burnham and John Burnam were
counted for two men?
The Republican town of Newburg vas
thrown out bt cause the name of the town
was not on the return and because it could
only be recognized by the name ON the out
side. Were not the returns from the towns
of Buckfeld and Brownfield in precisely the
same condition, and if SO why were they not
throHn out?
The Tabulatols say they follow ed judicial
decisions in their count. What judicial de-
cisions did they follow in refusing to count
Burnham; or in counting votes for Afford
Cushman for Alfred Cushman?
Gould not the Tabulators ascertain from
the Portland return who appeared to be
elected? Nay, more, could they not ascer-
tain beyond all shadow of doubt who ,cere
elected?
Is it or is it not true that in the represen-
tative district composed of the towns of Ex-
eter and Garland, two brothers, George S.
and Francis W. Hill. were rival candidates;
that the town of Exeter returned its vote for
f. w. Hill 220, G. S. Hill LAG, while the
Garland return showed that Francis W.
Hill received 131 votes, and George 5. Hill
2ll, while in fact the Exeter votes were cast
Tor Francis w. and George S., and that not
single vote in either town was cast for
| either +. w. or G. S. Hill, thus showing
that Oh the vote actually cast George S.

land Mr.. Reeds friends claim that he will beat
Anderson by 200 more votes than The State
ticket will command The Second District Is
composed of Androscoggin, Franklin, Oxford,
and Sagadohoc, and as the notorious Fogg IS
running against William Frye, the Repubii-
can majorities ought to and will, largely ex-
coed the estimates on the State ticket in every
county. The Third District takes Kennebec,
Lincoln, Somerset, and the Democratic half OF
Knox, and is, of course, safe. The Fourth
includes Aroostook, Penobscot, and Piscata-
quis, and will be the hardest fought of all;
but there is no doubt Ladd will go down under
a majority nearly, If not quite, as large as that
which will condemn Plaisted. The Fifth con-
tains Hancock, Washington. Waldo, and part
of Knox, which will be about equally divided.

reason to doubt that Maine will be represented

New York Times: s'The annual appro-
priations made by Democratic Congresses
for the current fiscal year and the two
years preceding aggregate $4S6, 6,000,0 900, be-
ing an average of $162,OO0,0OO year. The
same appropriations made by Republican
Congresses for the fiscal years ending June
30, 1873, 1874, and 1875 aggregate $424, 4,OOO,-
600, or an average of S141, 100000 year.
1t is true that the appropriations for 1879
were abnormally large, in consequence of
the refusal of Democratic House to pro-
vide for the support of the army in the ap-
preparations of the year preceding. But it
is also true that the pretense of Democratic
economy has no better basis than this, that
deficiency was created i'll one year to be
supplied the next. Such economy as the
Democrats have exercised has been directed
to thu cutting down of the appropriations for
coast defenses and similar purposes, while
all that has been thus saved, with great
deal more besides, has been thrown away in
the omnibus river and harbor grab, which
has averaged nine millions year under
Democratic legislation

CERTAIN gentlemen who believe in the
protection of home industries, have formed
an association for the furtherance of tha
object, and are issuing a series of tracts which
will prove of great value to those interested
in the success of American manufactures.
Several of these tracts are printed by the
American Iron and Steel Association.
Among the list is a treatise on ''Free Trade
and Protection" by the Hon. John Welsh,
late minister to England; valuable state
ment of ''What Protection has done for the
United States" by Mr.. Dudley, late consul
at Liverpool: a paper to prove that "a Tar
itf is not a Tax" by Giles B. Stebbins of
Detroit, and "Short Essays ON Protection, y
by David HI. Mason of Chicago. Friends of
protection who are willing to assist in dis
tributing the pamphlets can obtain them

M. Swank, secretary of the association, 265

ANOTHER Hancock Veteran bas IN,

ANOTHER Hancock Veteran has turned
up. The New York Herald has an inter-
view with General Ladd of Maine,' the
man known to Maine people as George
Ladd, representative by Republican stupidi-
ty of the Fourth District. 'Gen. Ladd" did
not use the most hopeful language He told
the Herald reporter that "Ours is mari
time State and five per cent of our popula-
ton is on the water at the time of election
and these are all Democrats, but we expect
to poll our entire available vote, and, as 1
said before if there is not too much money
out we will win the day." That tale may
do for the marines who will be con the wa
ter at the time of election" but all intelli-
gent observers know that the hardy fisher
men of Maine have no sympathy with Fu-
sion candidates or Fusion doctrines

Hill had decided plurality? And is it or
is it not a fact that the Tabulators refused
correction under the law of 1877, refused to
allow proof that the votes were in fact cast
for George S. Hill, and that G. S. and
George S. Hill were one and the same per-
son? And did or did not the Governor and
Council decide that there were four differ
ent persons voted for, and issue certificate
to mythical F. W. Hill, for whom not one
man in the whole district had voted?
Was or was not the return from New
Sharon rejected on the ground that the sig-
natures of the selectmen were written by
one hand, although the town officers for
warded affidavits establishing the fact that
each officer had written his own signature?
And was OF was not the return from Somer-
vile counted, though the town clerk testi-
fed that he wrote the signatures purpor.ing
to be that of the selectmen?
Did or did not the results of the tabula-
ton made by the Governor and his Council
invariably result in counting out Republican
and counting in Fusion candidates? If it
did not, will the Argus mention any Fusion
candidate who appeared to be elected on
the face of the returns, to whom a certifi-
cate was refused?
Does or does not the Argus sustain the
Tabulators in disfranchising the city of
Portland, and in ignoring the six thousand
votes cast in this city at the September
election?
Does or does not the Argus acknowledge
that M. M. Butler, A. A. Strout, S. A True,
4. S. Maxcy. and Nathaniel Redlon had
majority of the votes cast at that election?
When the Argus answers these questions
we have few more queries to PROFOUND,

Whatever may be thought of the politi-

good government and common honesty
should hope for the defeat of the unhoIy

brought disgrace upon that reputable State

Ocrats express the same sentiment, their

The New York Times has the following
intelligent comment ON the Maine corre-
spondence copied into the PRESS to-day:
Our correspondent at Portland, taking dis
passionate view of Republican prospects in
Maine, sees no reason to doubt that the par
ty will carry the State next month by at
least 1000 majority, and that the State will
elect once more a solid delegation of Repuh-
lican Representatives to Congress. In spite
of the deplorable vitality of the Greenback
lunacy among the voters of Maine, they
must be assumed to be, on the whole, in IA
vor of an honest ballot and fair count
Their contempt for the conspirators now
represented by Plaisted is an element in the
campaign which must be taken into account
The infamous Garcelon plot to steal the
State, has not only had its effect in stimu-
lating Republicans TO defend the principles
on which the very existence of free institu-
tions depends, but has depressed and dis
gusted certain proportion of those whose
votes were used for. revolutionary purposes.
Maine may be trusted this year to resume
its advanced position in the column of Re-
publican States.
