CANTON, Nov. 29-The Canton Steam
Mill and Denison Paper Manufacturing
Cos. have lately had Bell Telephone line
erected from the Office OF the Rumford
Falls & Buckheld Railroad company TO
their respective offices at the mills. The
accuracy with which the human voice, ar
any other noise Is conducted by this Won
derful invention can hardly be realized or
appreciated until seen and tried, and the
name OF Edison, the discoverer, will APP
pear on the pages or history in after years
As the inventor OF the telephone, which
will without doubt, succeed telegraphy,
when the cost OF communication will be
comparatively small as compared with
that of to-day. The above named mills
are now doing an active business and en-
ploying more than hundred hands.

ANDovER, Dec. 3.-It is to be hoped we
are experiencing our coolest weather; the
last Saturday In November it was down to
10 and II dogs. The two snow storms
have blown of the roads making it poor
sleighing and poor wheeling.
Our schools are nearly all in operation
with able and experienced teachers.
II is estimated more logs will be driven
out Of the river next Spring than in any
two seasons before.
The new bridge at Rumford was made
without delay last week greatly to the
convenience OF the large amount of travel
ing necessitated by the extensive logging
operations.
The fall rains have not been heavy
enough to I'LL up wells and streams to a
good supply this winter aud many predict
an early thaw and that this snow is To
leave US early in the winter.

Oxford Democrat. [volume] (Paris, Me.) 1833-1933, 1880-12-07

New 4 Orn NutioA As III 10 give the
finishing touch TO the absurdity OF their
late canvass, the Democrats in this city
are now busy in hunting up evidence of
Republican fraud, which they hope 10 get
in sufficient quantity 10 do away with the
Republican majority and induce Congress
TO throw out the State vote, or else ac-
cept that of the Hancock electors. When
we remember that the party has been
lighting tooth and nail in Congress for the
last ten years in defence of the theory that
all elections are State elections, not 20 be
either supervised or Investigated by any
Federal authority except when Congress
passes on the qualifications of its own
members, this attempt TO convert Congress
into a general Returning Board must be
set down as of piece with the party adyo-
cacy Of "a tariff for revenue only" There
seems 10 be so little judgment or even
common sense LEFT in the party manage
ment that we cannot, in justice TO the
large number of really intelligent men who
vote its ticket, help looking for some i'm
mediate effort TO break the concern up and
try a new organization. We do not know
exactly how a party ''disbands," but it is
plaiu that the hour for disbanding has ar
rived for our Democratic brethren.
Neither man nor party ought TO live after
the brains are gone.

And :or tbIs huggies abuses the proprietor of the CirlzEN Tn two-thirds of a column of mllingsgate- To the above tbs the CITIZEN would pay no attention
 but in tho course of the abuse ro f'rred to there are such gloss mis- representations that it is due to MT
 brady that the facts be stated in inc case. At the last election Brady was a candidate for Sheriff and WAS de. teated; RugSles was candidate for Treasurer and was elected. When inc tune came for the latter to file bis bonds, no one was found who was willing to be responsible for man whe had everything to win and no,b- ing to lose-not even q character and who is alleged to have left a wife and child in destitute circumstances m Missouri, and to have committed higamy by having married again in AriZona. So after waiting reason able time, the Board of Supervisors declared the office vacant. and elected Hon. P. R. Brady to be Treasurer of the county. Ruggles has never since ceased whining and yelling fraud" and hns heartily disgusled the people of Pinal who once honored him with their votes. The only dissatisfied per sor in PInal county today in connec- ton with the Treasurership is Rurgles, and the only notice which he deserves IS denial Of his falsehoods when they are likely to injure an honest man.
