From the Bangor Wing.
A Word to Town Clerks.

We wish TO urge upon town clerks the
great importance of absolute correctness in
making up the election returns, so that every
man who casts a ballot may have it counted,
returned, and recorded for the candidate Of
his choice, without its being lost by the care
lessness or negligence of those whose duty it
il to make up the returns
In q close election erroneous returns
from single town may change entirely
the result. Hence the necessity tina, those
entrusted with the making up of the re-
turns should do their work carefully and
to the election laws an opportunity is af-
forded to have erroneous returns, rhea
discorered to be erroneous, corrected by the
substitution of corrected returns, in the case
time and expense, even if all the errors are
discovered. This, however, does not apply
to the vote for Governor, as there Is no pro-
vision of law BY which the returns of the
Gubernatorial vote can be corrected. and re-
turns of that vote must stand as reported by
the town clerks and selectmen in their official
returns. These officers, therefore, in view Of
the proper discharge of the highly important
duties devolving upon them should take every
possible precaution agaii st error, and to do
this they should first study carefully the laws
governing their action, next read carefully
the instructions upon the blanks sent
out from the office of the Secretary OF
State, and follow them infinitely. In writ
ing out the names of the candidates voted
for, no one should rely upon his recollection
OF the name of any candidate but should copy
it exactly, whether in full or by initials, as
it reads upsn the ballot cast. In addition to
this the following rules should be rigidly OBJ
served: Insert in the spaces left for them
the name of the town and county. Insert
the whole number of ballots given for each
office, and the number of votes for each can
didate plainly written, and the names cor
rectIy spelled. The returns should be true
copy of the records, and signed by the Sc
lectmen and clerks and sealed up in open
town meeting.
BY careful observance Of the foregoing
hints, town officers will not only give cor
r.ct and safe return of the votes cast, but
greatly assist those, whose duty it is to cam
vass and tabulate the returns.
Some suggestions similar to the above
were published previous to the election two
years ago, and as the result of the increased
carefulness of those to whom they were given
the returns for that year showed a marked
improvement over those of former years, but
still there is left a chance for further improve
ment. Let the officers for each town vie with
each other in the effort to make their returns
absolutely correct and leave no pains unspared
to that end.

Sending "NIules', to Maine.

members Of the democratic Congressional

Rotary Henderson Of the republican Congress

the inside and refused any information to the
numerous reporters who besieged the en-.
trance. About midnight General Rosecrans
sent out word that the committee were con-
sulting with Maine politicians in regard to the
canvass in the State, and that the reports left
no doubt of democratic- greenback victory.
The committee were at later hour heard in
consultation in regard to the best method OF
carrying the State, and how the necessary
means could be provided for that purpose
The plan adopted in 1880 under the super.
vision of Chairman Barnum. Of the national
committee, was considered the best one for
this year. the only question being one in re-

German was understood to be doubt

Hon. Seth l.. MiIIiken.

Mr.. Milliken has made several speeches
in Kennebec county during the campaign.
which have given the republicans the very
highest satisfaction. He spoke at Mt
Vernon, Monday. in company with Mr..
Walker Blaine, TO large audience, with
the happiest effect, as one of our
correspondents in that town stated in q
report to the Journal.
Tuesday evening the Methodist church
at Wayne was filled with an intelligent
audience to listen to Mr.. Milliken, who
addressed them for two hours, holding
every person in the audience as though
under spell until his excellent speech
closed. In his opening remarks he spoke
of the record Of the two parties and in
vited and presented candid comparison
of the two. Passing from this he took up
the tariff question, and in a mastery, clear
and simple manner explained the differ
ence between protection and free
trade, showed the benefits which
resulted to our country and industries
from the former, and the evils which
adopted. also its blighting effect upon
labor wherever. as in England and in Ire
land, 1t is in force. The facts adduced
and illustrations made of this matter must
have carried conviction to every honest
and intelligent listener. Mr.. Milliken
closed with a graphic description of the
straddling party and platform denomina-
ted fusionism or Plaistedism, and an elo-
quent appeal in behalf of the republican
party which made the church ring with
applause. The audience was enthusiastic
and wide-awake. and pronounced the
meeting one of the best political meetings
ever held in the place. If Mr.. Milliken's
speech could have been repeated in every
town and city of the State it would have
told with great power in the campaign.
We trust the republicans will repay Mr..
Milliken for his praiseworthy efforts in the
campaign by seeing to it that his vote is
well sustained at all voting places in the
State. He is one of our most gifted orators
and will make an able and valuable rep
resentative in Congress. At the close of
his speech at Wayne, large proportion
OF the audience. the elderly persons espec-
tally, crowded around Mr. Millken and
thanked him heartily for his interesting,
instructive and inspiring speech.

The Somerset Reporter of this week pub.
fishes the following:
Mr.. EDITOR II have learned with surprise
that Congressman Ladd has left the impress
ion by his speeches made in that county that
| favored the river and harbor bill, and that
he was paired with me on the question. The
impression is unjust to me and believe it is
to Mr.. Ladd, as he well knew l was opposed
to the bill as had so told him. l was absent
by reason of an imperative necessity. The
reason Of Mr.. Ladd's absence do not know.
As matter Of fact we were not paired on the
river and harbor bill if Mr.. Laid was opposed
to it, as pair cannot exist when members
agree as to their action on bill.
