leaning toward this new and peculiar party,

antics of the creature didn't amase in the
least. The Bourbon spirit of Democracy
has been so apparent through II all-the
rule-or-ruin-splrit-tha have gone out
from among them, 10 stay.
The Courts decision is like breeze blow
ing over the new burned lands OF the Old
pioneer fathers. No bad odor about that.

course IL makes some particular kind OF
characters vince and dodge. The crimi-
nal has no special regard for the hangman.
IL hooks them straight TO the vitals, and
the barb is covered and "what are they 20

can bring relief or set them free. 1t j.

m iron grip-like the ten commandments.

plottings. The heart doesn't beat and that
is a significant item. That party j. offew
days aud full OF trouble whose principles
are such that they cannot call forth one

CHANCEs.-Some people seem to think Ii
matters little how things go politically
they are going To come ont right in the
end. We hardly know of anything more
stupid and unreasoning than such blind
trust in chance as this is. Things do not
come out good unless they are good, here
they produce according 10 their kind ~
they do everywhere else, figs give us figs,
and thistles thistles. II parties are not
actuated by the highest principles, you will
only have from them baseness, trickery and
crime. Our duty is to see that our rights
are respected at the polls, to vote for men
of tried worth, that seek TO extend the
peace under which prosperity is beginning
TO be powerfully felt. The Republican
party represent the best progressive
thoughts of the times, and to help the dis
clements on the other side is 10
do our country everlasting harm. Remem-

experiments pending towards barbarism.

continent two noble principles, one the love
of liberty aud the other respect for law.
These qualities working together have punt

period will mark one ofthe bulwarks ofeon-

In the very next item, relating 10 his
appearance in the Republican caucus 10
nominate delegates to attend the State
convention at Bangor. he writes:
"He was not a candidate for delegate as il
was well known that he was going 10 attend n
religious convention at the time and that he
would not go TO Bangor. II is possible that II
he had been n candidate he might have been
elected, though OF this he is not certain"
It is little singular that a man should
sit down and stupidity put two such items
together. The Republicans Of Maine do
not send doubtful men TO their most
important conventions. This statement
that he considered his election as among
the possibilities, proves our charge that
he led the people of Norway to believe
that he was a sound Republican. If
it hai been generally known at that time
that he did not intend to support the en-
tire Republican ticket, ne would not have
been thought of as delegate. His state
ment also corresponds with and corrob-
crates the conversation to which We made
reference last week. The remark was
substantially as follows: ''Mr. Seitz is
square Republican; he offended our eau
Gus, and would have been delegate to
this convention. but after talking it over,
he concluded to attend the Universalist
State cqnysatjon," which was in session

PUBLIC DEBI.

For detailed statement or the condi-
ton of the treasury / refer you TO the
Treasurer report. The report shows that
the receipts of the State treasury the past
wear, including sl57, $500 on hand De-
cember 81, 1878, were 81 $3.50, AHA, and
that the expenditures during the same pc
Rod were 81 1916, 003.67, leaving balance
in the treasury, December 81, 1879, Of S69-
4l3.47. On the first day of January, 1880,
as appears by the report, the bonded debt
OF the State amounted TO the sum OF Sa,-
Sis, 800; from which, deducting the pres
ent amount OF the sinking fund, 81, &c.,
1863. IL leaves the debt at Si,6S2,74 On
August Is, 1850, there will fall due of the
public debt bonds 10 the amount of $780,
600; on March l, 1888, S3o5, 900, on June
/, 1889, s., 1870, 900, and on October |, 1889,
there will become due S2,S26, 900. The
last named sum Is provided for by the
named are not provided for and must be
paid or renewed as they mature. The act
of February "a, 1875, as amended by Chap
ter So, laws of 1878. authorizes the State
Treasurer 10 issue new bonds for the pur
pose of renewing and extending the bonds
falling due, as before stated, except those
provided for by the sinking fund, the bonds
so issued to be payable to the amount OF
5000, 900 in 1890 and 10 the amount OF
s2O0. 600 each succeeding year. No steps
have been taken By the Treasurer TO renew
and extend any Of the State bonds. The
bonds falling due August 10, TO the amount
Of ego? 600. must be either psid or renewed.
IL would be gratifying to pay 81: whole
amount as it natures, but owing to the
present condition Of the treasury, and the
expenses forced upon the State by the
recent political complication, it may be
difficult to meet the whole amount this year.
] would therefore recommend the renewal
OF the bonds maturing this year, so that
100000 be made payable in one year.
800, 900 in two years, and sl07, 600 in three
years, at a rate Of interest not exceeding
4 l-s per cent, and advise their payment
at maturity by taxation. This will neces-
state the raising of one hundred thousand
dollars for that purpose this year, and may
seem TO many hprdensome. But the pol
icy of our State has long been TO pay its
debts at maturity. By that conrse the
credit or the State has beep maintained.

UsURPArIoN OF POWER.

Our government is one of checks and bal
lances. II is divided into three depart
ments-the executive, legislative and judic-
ial Each in its own domain has duties Pc
aular TO itself, but each amenable TO law.
For the first time in the history of our gov
eminent the Executive Department has
usurped powers never delegated TO it. In
stead of giving expression 10 the will of the
people by counting the returns of votes ac-
oordipg to law and the plainest dictates of
common sense, the attempt was made to
subyert the will ofthe people. The attempt
did not succeed but 1t did plunge the State
into disgrace and almost revolution only
averted by the patriotic and law abiding
qualities of our citizens. There can be no
half way ground in regard to this great
public wrong. 1t should be no question OF
party but should receive the condemnation
of every honest and patriotic citizen, that
ii may serve rs warning in the future to
those who under q free government may
attempt 10 trampie upon the rights Of the
people. ! would recommend an investiga-
ton OF the whole subject of arranging, tab.
ulating and counting the returns of votes,
that the facts so far as they can be ascer-
tanned, may be made public,

three Normal schools, enough for all the

They are institutions of the state and were

common schools. They are institutions
worthy the patronage and support Of the

the establishment OF others, II appears to
me that the interests OF the state are best
subserved by carefully protecting those we
have, by making them what IL was orig
inally designed they should be.
