The Governor and lhe Council.
The statement of the members of the
Council elsewhere printed will repay care
full perusal. 1t is a clear, definite and au-
thoritative description of the unpleasant
controversy which Governor Plaisted has
forced upon the Council and which he now
seeks to render prominent issue in the
campaign for the purpose of obscuring the
really important national issues, which
ought to engage the attention of the voters.
The members of the Council confine them
selves in their statement s,rictly to answer
ing the attack made upon them by the Gov
erner in his letter of acceptance of the
Democratic nomination. They would not
have entered upon any public statement on
the subject except in self-defense, acting in
this matter as they have throughout only on
the defensive against the unseemly and un-
warrantable aggressions of the Governor,
who seems to feel that he cannot thrive
save in a brawl which will infame men, S
minds and turn them from calm and can
did consideration of men and measures
f1aru lnueed Is 1t for a state whose chief
executive officer feels that his personal in
terests require wrangle with other officers,
and is conscienceless enough to prefer those
interests to the public welfare and tran

The Outlook.

Reports of the political situation brought
to Republicans from all parts of Cumberland
County are of encouraging nature, and the
belief is general with our correspondents
that we shall carry the entire county ticket
by a good majority. York promises to do
better than in 1880, and talks of five hun
dred majority. That Sagadahoc and Andro-
scoggin will aequit themselves with credit
goes without saying In Oxford considera-
BILE gains are expected, and that excellent
authority, the Oxford Democrat, is very
hopeful Throughout the Western coun-
ties the feeling is sanguine. And in the
East it is no less hopeful Penobscot will,
we are assured, do better than for years.
Aroostook will largely increase the Republic
can vote, and the other counties are ambi-
tious to do as well.
The outlook is certainly promising for the
Republicans. The only apprehension we
entertain is that it is fattering. The
fear we have is that Republicans, over-san-
guine and grown too confident 10y reported
gains, may consider the race won and rest
on their oars. This confidence is mistake.
The probability is that we shall win by a
decisive majority. The possibility is that
the Fusionists will win. The interests at
stake the National Senate, the National
House, the Governor of Maine, its Legisla-
ture and its Judciary-are too great to trust
to chance. We must make sure of this cleo
tion. All Republicans should work as though
the issue were in extreme doubt, as though a
Republican victory depended upon the poll
ing of every Republican vote, as though our
triumphal chariot could not lead the pro-
cession unless every true Republican in
Maine put shoulder to the wheel. The in
dcations are certainly very favorable; but
the result depends upon labor, intelligent.
energetic and untiring. Committees and
campaign speakers can do something. The
determination of the contest is with the vot-
ers, with the men who do not haunt CON-
mittee rooms or mount the stump, with the
great mass of Republican voters. If they
do their duty to the country and the party
Maine will be restored to her proper posi-
,ion--to the head of the column of Republi-
can States.

JUDGE Edward A. Thomas discusses, in
the North American Review, the value of
oaths in courts. In his judgment, oaths
should be entirely dispe nsed with, as doing
more harm than good. lie declares that
the conscientious man will tell the truth,
when legally called upon to do SO, as thor
oughIy without the oath as with it, and that
dishonest persons are seldom restrained by
the utmost solemnity of form. In short he
believes that the oath has ost its force as a
restraint, and is merely the formula of an
exploded superstition.

EAsTpoRT Sentinel: Republicans should
bear in mind the Importance of a Republi-
can majority in the Legislature, and nomi-
nate their strongest men for representatives,
and having nominated such men they should
do their level best to elect them. The Re-
publican party belongs to no one man, and
to no set of men. 1t is my party, it is your
party If men undertake to use it for per-
sonal ends, attend the caucus and vote such
men down. The way to keep the party on
the right track is to attend the caucus, and
there make fight, if fight is needed.

BANGOR Whig: The recruits are coming

A SOMEWHAT curious exhibition of absti-
nence from stimulants is given in the case of
the Able Moiquo, who finding that cigars and
snuff were impairing his memory, has quiet
ly fallen back on black coffee and brandy.
1t is doubtful whether any temperance or
ganization will award him a medal in token
of appreciation of such Austen ton.

WoLsELEY has explai ned to Lesseps, and
the latter is satisfied. 1t is now in order for
Arab to explain to Wellesley and Gladstone
to explain to Europe. Then there might be
another ''happy family exhibition. 1t
seems to be that the fashion in Europe just
now for everybody to do as he likes first, and
then ask other people how they like it.
Somewhat similar tactics were adopted by
Boss Tweed for time, but there came pc
rod when affairs did not work quite smooth

THE Democratic practice of rejoicing in
advance over partisan victories that are ex-
pected to happen is very convenient thing
for party that has not elected a President
of the United States for twenty-six years
past, since if the party did not rejoice in ad-
vance, it would in all probability have no OPP
portunity at all for exultingN and shouting.

BELFAST journal: There is abundant
testimony as to the effectiveness of Senator
Fryes recent speech in this city. 1t has
caused the Fusionsts to squirm in manner
calculated to make Republicans rejoice.
Their contortions are better than circus.
Our unhappy contemporary of the Prog.
Ace seems to have been struck with a
"chunk of old red sandstone" and his dy-
ing groans are distributed all over the last
issue of his paper. Senator Frye's artillery
seems also to have done execution in the
Gazette office at Lewiston, and the walls of
the wounded are heard from that direction.
Meanwhile the Senator has gone westward,
demolishing the fimsy Fusion defences on
his march and carrying the Republican
hammer on to victory.

LaMatyr's Greenback speech in Portland
Tuesday night. And incredible as it may
seem, Railroad Presidents and National
Bank men applaud these senseless utter
ances to the echo! If there is any logical

farmers! Why not formulate party creed

licly Withdrawing from the Democratic par
ty. In this he says: 81 shall cease TO act
longer With the Democl attic party, or give

existed, and if the party were progressive
enough to free itself from Bourbonisn."

EDITOR Fulton writes from Paris to the
display of flags in Paris at restaurant, at
the music gardens, theaters, circuses, ETC..
the American flag is in justapos ition to the
French. Whenever there is a government
display, although other flags are exhibited,
that of the American is invariably given the
post of honor alongside that of France, 1
am told that at the national festival last
month there was immense sale of these
small flags. and that almost every house dis
played the American flag. This may be tas

FILLING VACANCIES.

In the other field of appointment, that OF
filling vacancies occurring during his term, land
of making new appointments, in all the vari-
Gus grades of Office in the State, but little col
lision has arisen While by the provisions of
tho Constitution the right of nomination is
conferred upon the Governor, it is also made
the solemn duty of the Council to take part in
the appointment of civil officers Such right
of nomination by the Governor has never been
doubted or denied by the Council. In this
field the Governor has made over ons thousand
nominations, all but five of which, calling tho
second fish commissioner one, have been
promptly confirmed by the Council. AS to the
rejection of Mr.. Smith for that place, while
claiming the same right to allow political coz
siderations to affect their action as the Cover
nor has to shape his, the Council need only to
state that they we're all in the Council of ex-
Gov. Davis, and helped hold Mr.. Smith. the
appointee of Ex-Governor GArceon, in his
place during the whole year of that admins
tratiop, until, in December, he was removed by
the appointment OF Mr.. Stanley in his place.
Almost tho entire work of the fishery depart
ment ia done east of the Kennebec valley, and
principally on the Penobscot and its tributa-
ries The term of Mr. Stilwoll of Bangor ex-
pired in February, 1884, leaving Mr.. Stanley,
living in the extreme West sole commissioner
Unser the rule adopted by the Council
Mr.. Stanley could not be removed except
II non charges. Yet the Governor nominated
Mr. Smith to remove him, and Mr.. Stilwell to
his old place, but when the Council rejected
Mr.. Smith he instantly withdrew the nomina-
ton of Mr. Stillwell, then presented him
again for the removal OF Mr.. Stanley, against
the rotest of Mr.. Stilwell, who, in a written
communication to the Council, declined taking
the piace on such terms, and has ever since
been repeating the nomination of Mr.. Smith
for Mr.. Stiwell's place. 1t is enough to say
thai hy retaining Mr.. Stanley, the invaluable
services Of Mr.. Stilwell, the loss of which
wopid have been a public misfortune, have
heen secured to the State by arrangement be-
tween him and Mr.. Stanley, he consenting to
serve in g subordinate capacity. The necessi-
ties of this vast enterprise OF restocking the
waters of cur State with fish demanded an
eastern man, instead of two in the extreme
west, and the action of the Council has never
for moment beon affected by any other con-
sideration than the best interests OF the State.
II will be remembered there is no vacancy
here. az no office exists by law until created by
the Joint act of the Governor and Council
This leaves four. Two are cases of police
iudgeships where nominations were made and
moth raiected for cause. lu one case the out
going Judge, now acting as trial justice, and in
The other by provision OF law, the court record
er. are discharsing all the duties of the respec-
live offices, and tue people suffer no detriment
and make no complaint.
Out of the ten or eleven hundred nomina-
tions in this field, this leaves but two, that OF
