Plaisteds Approval of the State Steal.
With almost incredible effrontery the Port
land Advertiser recently denied that Harris
NJ Plaisted was in sympathy with the Garce-
Ion gang in the contingent infamy, and de-
clared that:
General Plasted advised the Council of 1879 not
to allow the result of the election to be changed by
any technicalities:
Being pressed upon this point, it, on Saturday
last, repeated the assertion, and challenged the
production of evidence that he had ever APP
proved the Justification and forgery of the re-
turns. OF course the editor of the Advertiser
was well aware OF the falsehood of his state
ment in Plaisted's behalf, as the fact of the lat
ter's active sympathy with the State Stealers
was matter of public notoriety in the winter
of 1S79-80. All newspaper readers remember
the flourish with which the special dispatches
to the Fusionist papers proclaimed that Eek.
Attorney General and "ex-Cengressman'
Fl. NJ Plaisted was in Augusta and fully sus-
tanned the legality of the action of Garcelon
and his Council. 1t is aston
ishing that the Portland organ should have the
hardihood to publicly assert that Plaisted OPP
posed the Garcelon count-out, when the facts
are so fresh in the minds of the people. The
truth is that Plaisted not only sympathiZed
with the frauds while they we're being perpe-
trated, but he emphatically and explicitly en-
dorsed the whole infamous State steal after il
had been completed and officially proclaimed

The Eaton Family School.

Some sixteen years ago, Mr.. FL. F. Eaton
purchased stand at Norridgewock, fitted it

kins of Stonington, Conn.,, who will be at
the head of the board of instruction. 1t is Mr..

Maine Dental Association.

The next annual session of the Maine Den
tai Association will be held in Portland. The
matter of settling upon some locality as the
regular place of meeting has been considered,
and the advantage of such course generally
admitted. Several cities were mentioned in
this connection, but the majority of those in
attendance at the recent convention were ap-
parently for Portland. The question was left
open however, with the understanding that it
should be decided at the next session. Of the
$50 dentists, or less, in the state, it is sell
dom that more than % attend the sessions OF
the association. 1t is thought that with the
place of meeting at Portland, and the time
when most people wish to 60 somewhere, they
may hereafter get out good crowd. At the
recent session in Dexter many interesting and
valuable papers on subjects of Importance to
the profession were read.

A Case for the Consideration Of the PEN
sion Department.
TCo1. Ronoor Whip


Several years ago, one Daniel Weld, of Abb
bolt, who served his country in the war of the
rebellion, and afterwards received pension
on accouna of injuries to health, wrote to the
authorities at Washington that he thought he
had fully recovered his health, and therefore
desired that his name might be removed from
the pension list. This was the first case of the
kind ever known in the department, and it was
at the time noted and commented upon by the
press of the whole country. A few weeks
since this Mr.. Weld died at his home in Abb
bott and his family are left in destitute circum-
stances. 1t is said that the trouble contracted
in the army, and from which deceased suppos-
ed he had recovered, afterwards returned, but
whether this be so or not, your correspondent
does not know. The question arises, whether,
under the circumstances, it would not be the
proper thing for the authorities at Washington
to place the widow of the late Mr.. Weld upon
the pension list, where doubtless she would now
be, had he not voluntarily surrendered his
claim. The amount, small though it be,
would be of great service to her now, and it
really seems as if it would not require a more
liberal construction of the case on the part of
the government to do this, than it has placed
upon many other cases that have come before
