derers of the Joyce family from the house

witnesses to the massacre of the joyce fam
lily. They have positively identified ten of
the prisoners. Another witness has identi-
fed four of the ten as having been over
heard planning the murder. The police be-
lieve the tragedy to be the direct outcome of
secret societies with which West Ireland il
permeated. The witnesses are under police
protection and their names are withheld 1t
is believed that the trial Of the prisoners will
begin in few days.
The prisoners are described BY the people

HOneycOmbed.

The fusion party is completely honey
combed with detection among its men,
bers. What has been seen here and there
of open revolt is as but speck to the gen.
eral mass Of dissatisfaction existing under
the surface. All over the State. in every
county. town. and neighborhood there is
latent If not open treason to the fusion
organization. Nor is it among greenback-
ers alone. Democrats are infected as
we'll as greenbackers. though perhaps not
quite so openly exhibiting it as their allies.
The party managers know this. They
suspect they will be betrayed. They even
accuse one another of making overtures
to the republicans. and when man leaves
them they have no scruples about charg-
ing that he has been bought by the repub-
licans. They say the Bangor Messenger
was bought with republican money,
likewise the Dirigo Rural. also Scion
Chase and his paper. and doubtless tine
same accusation will be hurled against
Judge Gilbert. Sewell Golf and all others
who have the courage and honesty to
stand up in their own strength and repu-
diate Plaisted and his ticket. They say
the temperance men who went against
the republican ticket in 1880 were bought
Being dishonest themselves they think
everybody else is. They traded with
Plaisted in making the double headed
combination. why should they be surprised
or take offense if others refuse to be trad
cd out by their arrangement and bolt the
duplex organization and all its shams and
frauds?
The personality and leadership of Gov
ernor Plaisted have appeared so promi-
nently in this campaign as to overtop and
obscure all management outside of his
own in the combination. He has usurped
the control of both organizations by which
he has been nominated. He is the Supreme
in the politics Of the fusion party. as he
claims to be the Supreme in State affairs.
Notwithstanding the constitution denies
him the power to act in many important
matters without the advice and consent of
the Executive Council He is the fusion
party. The nominations which he has
recommended have been made in the con-
gressional and county conventions. He
has bossed the whole Of them. No man
has been nominated not acceptable to him !:
none have been rejected except by his
edict. When he has declared thus it
shall be. so it had to be. whether right or
wrong. just or unjust, wise or foolish. As
result, therefoq the democrats
feel very much TIE allowing his
Supreme Excellency to do the most
q the fighting himself; and the fusion
greenbackers are inclined to escape from
the impending ruin-from the false and
disgraceful position in which they will be
placed BY supporting Plaisted. 1t is his
fight; why should they share the defeat
coming upon him in attempting to reach
the Governorship aud Senstorship through
the unprincipled and unholy coalition
which he has raised up for his own per-
sonal ambition?
Governor Plaisted will be beaten and
descrvedly beaten. Treason is at work in
every part Of the organization which he
leads. The whole fabric is honeycombed
Its destruction is ~ certain as the rising
Of the sun on the 18th of September.
