ORGANIZATION.

If there is one thing more than another that
is essential for the triumph of Republican
principles in the coming election, it is that the
Republican voters of this State should be thor
oughly organized, and therefore be in condi-
ton to meet the common enemy with united
'front.'. There is no question that were ar cleo
ton to be held to-day Col. Robe would be
elected Governor by a round majority, but two
months are to elapse before the battle is to be
fought and in that time our opponents will
leave no stone unturned in their vain endeav-
or to win.
1t is a we'll known fact that when a person
is continually crying fraud and bribery, that
such person, or party it may be, above all 9TH
ers needs watching. Our opponents on all oc-
casions are making great hue and cry about
the money that is to be used the coming Fall,
and by raising o false cloud of dust are hoping
to distract public attention from what they
themselves are contemplating doing. They
have nominated a distinguished gentleman
from this section of the State for Congress be-
cause lie is a man of wealth and one who will
put his hand in his pocket and help grease the
wheels of the Democratic coach. No one for
minute supposes that Anderson or Adams or
Frank would have taken themselves out OF the
wav if thew supposed that the mixed ticket
stood any chance of an election.
But no matter as to the State at large. York
county is have hard fought battle of her OWE.
In the last election the Republican majority
was but SO over the Fusion nominee. This
year the Fusion leaders make their boast that
they will sweep the county and thus do their
part to secure the election of Democratic
Senator to succeed Hon. VIM. P. Frye. They
are strongly organized. The Biddeford gem
tleman who manages the Fusion campaign in
this section OF the State, has been schooed in
the peculiar politics of York county for years.
He knows every town and village within5its
borders, he will have pecuniary help from out
side and will do his utmost to further the sue
cess of the conglomeration ticket.
There is but one way to checkmate his plans
and purposes and that is simply by a thorough
organization of the Republican voters in every
section of the county. If we poll our full vote
we are absolutely sure of a sweeping victory.
If every Republican will constitute himself a
minute man and will devote little of his time
to further the principles which he believes are
conducive to good government there will be no
doubt as TO the result.
See TO 1t that the name of every Republican
voter is on the check lists correctly, and see
that every young Republican who has become
OF age since the last election is also properly
registered. Every one has an influence, be it
great or small, and there is no Republican but
what can help in some degree to win the vic
tory which surely awaits us in September, If
he will but devote little of his time to the
good work.
The Portland daily press., 1882-07-18
An uiry Answered.

For more than ten years the Argus has
been accusing Mr. Robson of gross extrav-
gance and corruption in the construction OF
vessels of war during his administration OF
the Navy Department, and prating OF 1.-The
good old times of Democratic economy"
Recently its attention was called to the fact
that the naval bureau of construction under
the eight years administration of Pierce and
Buchanan expended millions more than it
did under the eight years administration OF
Grant, and the Argus was asked by the
PRESS what it had to say of this exhibition
of Democratic economy. Instead of reply
ing, the Argus wants to know what
the PRESS thinks of civil service reform.
We repeat the answer we made some days
ago. We favor the correction of all abuses
in the civil service, and if it is depraved, its
entire reformation. But we have no faith
in the ability or desire of the Democratic
party to accomplish such reform. Under its
rule the civil service was VIGOROUSLY extraV-
ayant and corrupt. Under Republican rule
the civil service has increased in efficiency,
and the only hope of further improvement is
to be found in the Republican party. The
Democracy is not sincere, the Argus is not
sincere, in asking for the reformation of the
civil service. No longer ago than 1879 the
officers Of the Garcelon administration in
Maine and of the Democratic House of Rep
resentatives were asked to contribute to
campaign expenses, and generally complied
with the request. If the Democracy gets
possession of the national administration
every officer will be compelled to contribute
on pain of dismissal. That has always been
the Democratic practice. With the Republi-
cans the case is quite different. Office hold
ers can contribute or refuse to contribute, as
they choose They retain their positions
Just the same. They are asked to contri-
butte as the church-member is asked to con-
tribute to the support of the minister or the
repair of the meeting house or the spread of
missionary work.
As to the statute of 1876 we are not aware
that any executive officer of the United
States is violating it. If the Argus knows
of such a case it ought to lodge information
at once.
The Portland daily press., 1882-07-18

ELLSWORTH American: Mr.. Dane, the
Congressional candidate in the First District
of the Democratic and Greenback parties,
is direct{ connected with about all the
banking institutions in his neighborhood
He is man of considerable wealth which
has been accumulated by the process which
''makes the poor poorer but as the Fusion
candidate, regardless of the dual platforms
on which he stands, he will, no doubt, be as
acceptable as any selection that could have
been made, and principally because he can
help with the funds that will be required to
'fpaint the machine"
The Portland daily press., 1882-07-18

THAT part of Ireland mentioned in the
Gazette as subject to the Repression bill
embraces the most thrifty counties and all
the large cities of the island-even Dublin,
the capital, leads. The necessity for laws
more rigorous than martial law and with all
it's hateful machinery, is not an argument in
favor Of the genius of the British for govern
ment. Nor is it easy to understand how a
party can be called Liberal that applies
such legislation to the country in time OF
nrofeund peace.
