The Portland PRESS is abusing Governor
Plaisted OF Maine in very coarse and stupid
way.-SpriDgfeld Republican.
The Republican is an Independent journal
that satisfies the old definition of an indie
pendent man in politics: ga man who cam
not be depended onto tell the truth. The
PRESS is not abusing Governor Plaisted. 1t
is censuring him for defending the Garce-
lon count-out of 1879, concerning which the
Republican said in December of that year
(the same month in which Plaisted declared
over his own signature that ''the Governor
and Council of this State in the inspection
of the returns and tabulation of the same.
which have just been completed, have acted
in compliance with the constitution and the
laws, and we will sustain them,''): 'The
Democrats deliberately stole the State;"
that no wrong whatever had been done by
the informalities of the returns, and that it
was most infamous usurpation for them to
defeat the deliberately expressed will of the
voters; "The result of State election has
been deliberately falsifed" "a great wrong
has been committed against the sovereignty
of the people" GA crime like this should
divide public sentiment into two camps, not
of Republicans and Democrats, but of hon.
est men and scoundrels." Aud the Repub-
lican, which never has coarse but always
delicate way of speaking, further said
"The party in the State loads itself with the
responsibility of great political crime. 1t
accepts as its own the child of shame laid at
its doors by political strumpet" 1t also
said that Maine in consequence of the ac-
ton of the Garcelon Council-approved by
Plaisted-had "sunk to the lowest level of
the most debased Southern communities,
and expressed the fear that the Fusionists
would s'set up the gospel of Victoria Wood
hull"

A Reed Not Shaken by the
Wind ,,


Hon. Thomas B. Reed, in addition to being
the ablest man in the Maine congressional del
egation, possesses ready wit, which with his
consummate TACT often serves to demolish the
labored efforts of some windy opponent more
effectually than could set speech made in the
heated term. Recently Mr.. Blackburn, Of
Kentucky, sought to crush the representative
from the first district in Maine, and reckoned
without his host.
The Democrats had charged that the tally
clerk of the House of Representatives had
made an error in the count of votes and they
had much to say about investigation, all for
effect. Watchers were appointed by these
honest fellows to keep private tallies to detect
errors. It is needless to say that the Demo
cratic sentinels never discovered any cheating.
After Mr.. Blackburn had concluded his char
acteristic observations Mr. Reed obtained the
floor, and in some rather severe remarks, criti-
cised the indirect method of attack adopted by
the Kentucky statesman, and said that if The
mind of that gentleman were not SO obscured
by partisan passions he would find no difficulty
in seeing that the clerk had made an error
which was very natural and easily explained.
When Mr. Blackburn took the floor to reply
it was with an air which plainly said: watch
me now. I am going to jump on Reed" The
gentleman from Maine, he said, was peculiar
| in many respects. "When he gets up here tc
pirate about the beauties of non-partisanship he
reminds me of nothing in this world, and of
only one thing in the other world-the devil
painting the scheme of mans redemption.
'You would naturally be most familiar with
that portion of the other world, which is the
only part you will be likely to see,' retorted
Reed.
Blackburn was staggered, but he managed
to say that if he should find a home IN that
part of the other world alluded to, he chopped
to be spared the company OF the gentleman
from Maine"
"You will be; you will be- came like a
fash from Reed.
Blaekburn's jaw fell, and for once refused to
vibrate. Thoroughly discounted, he retired
from the contest amid shouts of laughter, ant
the absurdity of the whole proceeding having
become manifest to everybody, the matter wai
dropped by mutual consent.

For country whose people are not much
given to reading, Egypt is pretty well sup
piled with newspapers. There are in Alex
andria three in French, of which LEgypte
is the most important, with circulation OF
about 5000; two in Arabic, of which Ell
Mahroussa (the God-preserved) takes the
lead with circulation of 1900; two in
Italian, circulating about 1000 each; one in
Greek and one in English. There are six
weeklies, two of which are in French, two
the New Age and The Pyramids-in Arabic,
one-The Egyptian Gazette-in English,
and one in Italian. Cairo with popula-
ton of $4,000 has but two dailies, both in
French. Egyptian Events and The Father
land are weeklies in Arabic. The former is
the government organ and has an estimated
circulation of 10000 There are two other
weeklies, To Kairon in Greek and the Cour-
rier Egyptien in French. At Port Said
there are two French weeklies and there are
feeble apologies for journals at Suez, Is
malta and some other places, besides few
advertising sheets and one or two monthly
publications devoted to philology.

portions that serve its purpose. Mr.. Stick

not right, and he appears in the role Of pessi-

the nomination of Gen. Conner for Governor
and favored the nomination of Col. Robe.

and commentator. In another column we
