Garceloning up in Maine has come to
a conclusion at last, and the next step
should be the arrest, trial and con
viction of the parties to tine infamous

the next trap set for them by their

THE Democracy have been loud in
their denunciation of Republicans,
when they heard OF an assessment
on offioe-hoiders for a few dollars for
legitimate campaign purposes, while
at the same time they have been
bleeding their own people to such a
degree that the victims consider it
the next thing to actual robbery.
For example, at the late Democratic
ward meetings in Philadelphia, they
assessed candidates for the Office of
Counciiman-an Office without pay
five hundred dollars. Out of the
Democratic assessment of Council
men has grown the question, How
much do they assess tine candidate
who runs for an office in which there
is pay, or for IN Office with salary 2

Whittaker's Examination

West Point, May 14.--In the Whitaker
investigation to-day Whitaker was placed on
the stand. He said in reply to the question
if he had heard before he came to the scade-
my the manner in which colored cadets were
treated, that the prospect was not encourag-
ing, but he had in some respects been treated
better than he had expected. He had no clue
to the perpetrators Of the outrage. He now
had some suspicion of Blake and Mcdonald.
He suspected the manner in which he
treated them few days
before the outrage. He had
put Blake's cap on by mistake one day com.
ing out of the academy, and Blake was yely
angry. He also suspected him because OF
the scornful manner in which Blake moved
out of the way when Whitaker was leaving
the commissary.
- Question-Do you think this scorn was
sufficient to lead a man to mutilate another
and run the risk of being dismissed from the
academy the United States and being con-
fined in prison?
Answer-I know sensible men would not
do il, but know men debased and bgoted,
that could be led to do it.
Whitaker was not questioned after the
conclusions announced, and court adjourned
until 2 D. m.
