Plaisted and the State Steal.

among his virtues, bis adherence Of the
State steal of Garcelon & Co. 1t was a
very easy matter to produce evidence
that Plaisted had deliberately, publicly,
and emphatically endorsed the outrage
upon the people of Maine, the details of
which are still fresh in the memories of

had been completed over thirty members
elect of the Legislature having been re-
fused certificates of election and certif-
Gates given to men who We're not elected
the following despatch was sent to and
read at a Fusion meeting held in Angus
ia, Dec, %, 1879:

LAWS, AND WE WILL SUSTAIN THEN AND
THE CONSTITUTED AUTHORITIES OF THE

the Republican said in December of that
year (the same month in which l1Iasted
declared over his own signature that 1.-THE

of the same which have Just been com
