AT cabinet meeting on Tuesday, when all
tho members were present except Secretary
Lincoln, the subject of political assessments
was discussed. President Arthur expressed
his views freely and fully. They were in sub
stance that no person in any one of the exec
utive departments declining to contribute
shall on that account be subjected to discharge
or criticism, and no attempt to injure him on
this ground will be countenanced or tolerated.
These conclusions are in accordance with the
views expressed by the president in his letter
of acceptance, July Is, 1880.

applause with which his appearance upon the

The editor of the Brattleboro Defamer in
his last issue, as also in letter TO the Spring.
field Republican, attempts to transform his
attack on the Democratic party in Vermont
into a quarrel with Hiram Atkins With a
full realization of what he is saying. Hiram
Atkins desires to say that Charles II. Davon-
port was guilty of deliberate falsehood in his
letter to the Republican, and that all the
members of the state committee who were
present at the meeting at Burlington last
week will bear him out in making the state
ment. He also made false statements to the
committee, as more than one member per-
sonally ascertained upon following up some
of them, and Capt. j. j. Monahan, whom
Davenport admitted was that = o'clock in the
morning delegate, told w. ID. McMaster and
II. j. Boynton, two members of the commit
tee that Davenport did not tell the truth in
his statements in the Defamer as to him, for
he did not tell him what the DefRmer alleges.
In fact, the whole thing was a falsehood at
the start, and, as usual with liars, he is try
ing to bolster up the original misstatement
with other lies In fact @. II. Davenport al
ways was n low fellow, and we fear always
will be. We had hoped that he was going TO
try to be decent, but it does not seem to be
in him. Simply by accident he is the Wind
ham county member of the state committee
and if that body felt it had the power we are
confident that it would expel him for his
falsehoods

Judge PoIand,. Nomination.


The nomination of Judge Poland for the
national House, after defeat as the regular
party candidate in 1874, may be regarded as
one of the unusual things in politics. MIR.
Poland served in the Senate from November,
1865, to March, 1867. He then entered the
House, where he was soon recognized as a
man of unusual ability During the 42d and
43d sessions of Congress it is not too much to
say that he was one of the Republican lead
ers. He was nominated in 1874 for the 44th
Congress, but it was the year of the Republi-
can disaster, and Judge Poland was one of
the first victims. He was assaulted by the In
dependent press, which, with the quite gene
raj desire for a change, was enough to insure
his defeat. 1t was then recklessly given out
that Judge Poland was not an upright legisla-
tor, but he has long since recovered from such
slanderous and malicious attacks That the
people who know him best have confidence in
him is shown by the fact of his nomination.
With his long experience and his rare qualifi-
cations, Judge Poland will prove a valuable
acquisition to the representation of New Eng
land in the House. Gen. Grout, who was de-
feated, has shown during the present session
that he possesses qualities which would have
made him valuable representative had he
been called to serve longer in that capacity.

In the star-route trial, Tuesday, the prose-
cution had grand field day, and were enabled
to parade some of their most important wit
nesses. Ex-Attorney General McVeigh, ex-
Postmaster General James and ex-senator
Powell Clayton of Arkansas were called to
the stand and related their interviews with
Rerden. The defense argued hard against
the admission of this evidence, but argued
against fate. Judge Wylie seems determined
the whole truth shall come out. The testi-
mony given by them, as also that of John A.
Walsh, which had previously been admitted,
was clear, explicit and important, and
cannot fail to have its effect upon the jury.
The defense, of course, took exceptions to
the judges rulings, but it is evident that high
tide in their affairs was passed some time ago.

The July report of the Department of Agri-
culture on the corn crop of 1882 indicates
that there has been a general recovery
throughout the country from the untoward
situation into which this important cereal was
plunged by the unpromising weather of
spring. Floods in the South and cold and
rain in the North so retarded the planting
that very low average was feared. In the
state of New York the climate conditions were
so adverse that many fields in the western
part of the state were not planted until June
20. The plants are generally promising we'll
for August. On July the general average
of the crop in all the states was So, as against

We, the undersigned, members of the state
Democratic committee of Vermont, deeming
it to be our duty TO investigate certain charges
made by @. H. Davenport, member Of the
committee, in newspaper owned, edited and
controlled by him, to the effect that the re-
cent Democratic state convention was packed
by Gov. Smith and 10. d. Hatch, two leading
Republicans, in favor of Geo. E. Eaton for
governor against L. W. Redington, invited
Mr.. Davenport to appear before the commit
tee and produce any and all evidence in his
possession tending to substantiate said charg-
es Mr. Davenport appeared as requested,
but utterly failed TO substantiate his charges
by any evidence whatever, and we find upon
investigation that said charges are untrue and
without foundation.

The Result in City and County

The election is almost an old story
now, so far as our local readers are con-
cerned, and nothing we could say would
add to the general satisfaction. If Re
publicans everywhere feel as we'll as do
the Republicans of Waldo county it is Il
very happy family. Certainly none have
suit of their labors than the tried and
true Republicans Of Waldo, who on Mon
day last routed the Fusionists in their
strongholds, gaining one Representative,
reducing the Fusion majority of 1882 in
1850 to 800, and ensuring a Republican
majority two years hence. SO far as we
are advised no county in the state has
done better Give Waldo her due need
Of praise
The result of the city election was no
less gratifying, as before the polls opened
the Fusionists were confident OF electing
their candidate for Representative and
the Republicans were by 40 means hope
full This would have been loss of one
Representative to the Republicans, and
it was felt that it might imperil the
organization Of the Legislature, the re
election of Senator Frye and the choice
of State officers. The Importance Of the
contest was generally realized, and how
well the Republicans Of Belfast respond
ed to the call the figures elsewhere given
will tell. In 1850 the vote for Davis over
Plaisted was but 23; but Robes vote
over Plaisted this year was lo3 a Re
publican gain Of 100 This is the more
gratifying as it was not only defeat for
the FusOnists but for certain schemers
who undertook to break down party lines
to serve their own ends, but who will
have to be content with back seats here

CORES OHuCuCt Oh lIt journal.
In some respects. Washington County notes
are good to have, especially if they have the
right name at the bottom; but the kind of
notes we deal in at present may be at Il dis
count. That everlasting topic. the weather,
gives employment to numberless persons,
many of whom would be entirely out of
employment Were it not for that topic. There
is reason, however, for Il good many remarks
on this subject, for the mills are all shut down.
SO far we can learn, i'll the entire county.
Rain has been an unknown quantity for many
days and the parched earth could drink in With
out effort all the water that could be delivered
in an ordinary rain for twenty-four OF even
thrty-six hours, but even dcluge would not
restore. or even create, fall feed at this stage of
the conflict between the elements and the needs
of man. There is nothing except fish that has
not suffered from one of the dryest drouths
Washington County has experienced for some
years. Even dog days have entirely succumbed
to it, and the usual quantity of fog has been I'M
known.
The annual camp meeting for Washington
County was held in East Machias from August
18th to Sept. ID. and the usual daily and nightly
attendance on the occasion was observed; but
never in the history of camp meetings IN this
County was every one cnvelOped in such
clouds of dust, or was the dust so thoroughly
mixed with every sort Of food, every prayer,
eXhortation or hymn of praise, as on this occa-
sion. Still, the worshippers came out of it look
ing better than could have been expected.
There is one Methodist minister in Washington
County, at least, whose head is level, and who
thinks there are houses enough in which to wor-
ship God, without the labor, fatigue. and dis
comforts ofsthe camp meeting. But it will
take a good many level heads like his to make
an impression on the majority at present.
Politics are not nearly as potent now AS the
drouth. While | have not much to say on this
subject, will merely venture the assertion,
that as usual, Washington County will not bow
its neck to the Fusonsts. AS this may not
come to you in time to be II prophecy, it may.
in that case be used as declaration made be-
forehand. There are but two parties In Wash
ington County. Greenbackers, as such, have no
standing whatever in this County. In 1880, in
the Presidential election, out of S,OS1 votes
Weaver had 80. Is not that a pretty clean
County: 1t can be safely said that out Of that
50, sixty, at least, We're formerly Democrats
Indeed, we do not know personally, a single
Greenbacker, formerly a Republican, who is
not one now, but has wanted an office, and did
not get one, and took that method to be reveng-
ed. Washington County is pretty good place,
after all. HARRIS.

Congressman Bayne, of the Odd Pennsylvania
district, whose sharp criticism of President Ar
thurs appointments attracted good deal of
attention last session, will receive a practically
unanimous denomination. out Of l29 delegates
TO the nominating convention, 100 Bayne men
have been chosen, in spite OF the efforts of the
Cameron men. This is deserved rebuke Of the
administration, and is ominous for the machine
in the coming election. Portland Advertiser.
The Advertiser is of course aware that
Mr., Bayne's "sharp criticism Of President
Arthur's appointments" consisted wholly
OF assertions when were proved to lie Ut
terry without foundation. If the action
Of the Bayne delegates is based upon his
misrepresentation of the President. it
strikes us that instead Of rebuhing the
Administration they have condemned
themselves And if the civil service re-
formers intend to build their party upon a
basis of untruths, they will speedily come
to grief.

In his letter to Maine voters, publish
ed a month ago, Mr.. Blaine said, in re-
ferring to the netarious attempt Of Garce-
Ion & Co., to steal the state government ::
| believe there are many honest Democrats
and honest Grecnbackers in the State who
sincerely desire to record their disapprobaton
of that niquitous proceeding, but that to do so
in 1880 involved separation from their party
in national campaign and the abandonment Of
issues in no way connected with the local poll
ties of Maine. They felt that they could not
afford to turn their backs on their honorable
and gallant standard bearer in the nation, to
punish the misdeedS of State officials at home
The time has now arrived, however, when no
such embarrassment surrounds the plain ques-
ton of duty, and it so happens by the pervcrsc
designs of those who sought to impose Il fraudu-
lent government on Maine. that the issue of the
evil conspicary is thrust upon the people in the
pending election, whether they be willing or
unwilling.
The issue was fairly met on Monday
last, and none can mistake the verdict Of
the people. Garcelonsm and Plaisted-
ism have been alike condemned

The contest is over. The voice of the
stump speaker was hushed nearly week
ago The ballots were deposited on Mon
day last, and the result of the election
is known far and wide That result is
not satisfactory to everybody, but the
choice,of the people is decisive, and there
can be no appeal save to the ballot box
two years hence. Meanwhile, let us put
aside the paraphenalia of politics, forget
the hard blows given and received dur
ing the campaign, and rally as one man
in support of a common cause, the ad :
vancement of the material interests and
prosperity of the State we all love.
Maine Is prosperous now; but let US in
crease the prosperity, if possible. There
are as rich fields here for capital and en-
terprlse to develop as are to be found in
any other State or seGtion-lands as fer
tile. raw material as plentiful and water
power as abundant and accessible.
The journal having done its duty to
the best of its ability to the party whose
principles it maintains, believing them to
be best calculated to promote the prosper
ity of the State and nation, is now free to
devote itself to the advancement Of the
agricultural and Industrial interests of
Maine, and will, as heretofore, pay spe-
the fisheries. The farmers who comprise
a large proportion of our readers, viii, of
course, not be neglected. As in former
years, the various agricultural fairs will
be specially and fully reported, and no
pains will be spared to make the journal
a welcome visitor to the farmers house
