Last Thursday young man entered Irving
j. Browns shoe stoie, on Congress street,
bought some goods and offered check for $65
on the Norway National Bank in payment,
purporting TO be drawn by NJ W. Maxim &
Co. Mr.. Brown accepted the check, gave the
fellow his change, and deposited the check
with the Casco National Bank. Saturday it
was returned with the statement the signature
was forged. A statement was made in the
Argus that the forger came from Boston on
the boat with one OF the firm of M. W. Maxim
g. Co., and got Norway check from him in
some manner. There is no firm named M. w.
Maxim & Co., in this city but there is one W.
M. Maxim & Co. No member came down
from Boston on the boat, Thursday night, or
has this winter, but a member came by train
that evening. He didn't give any body any
check nor has the firm any money in the Nor

Irving Thomas Not Found.

It was reported Sunday night, and stated in
the morning papers, that the Thomas boy had
been found on Long Island. This report, I'M
fortunately, proves to be groundless, as the
steamer which runs to Long Island brought no
tidings of the boy yesterday morning. The
search progressed yesterday but without avail.
It seems but too probable that the boy, starting
e in the wrong direction, approached the thin
oce farther down the bay and broke through.
II is possible that he may have reached the
main land, but in that case it is very probable
that he would have reached home before this

A Word with the Argus.
To the Editor Of the Press:
PORTLAND Ian % 1881

PORTLAND, Jan. -, 1888.
The Argus says:
Uncle Scion announces that sit is a hard
winter for Them Steers and that "they are
out of fodder" We suspected last summer
that such would prove to be the fact The old
man hiIched his team to load of Republican
office seekers, helped pull them into Office, and
now they take all the provender, while the
Steers are left to starve. But Uncle Solon' 8
experience is not different from that of some
others. 1t was ever thus with men who aban-
don their principles to aid lot of tricky and
selfish politicians.
Mr.. Argus, what did you suspect about the
National Enquirer, Camden Herald and Ban
gor Freeholder, the organ of that fellow who
wrote the Dear Sam Letter, and others of the
same stripe who hitched to the principles of
that Old Black Pirate Ship, Bourbon Democ-
racy, whose principle has been for the last
twenty-five years to get into Office by fraud,
treachery or any dishonorable means that they
could lay their hands to, and they have not
been slow in looking over the whole list. No
doubt that through your distorted mental Wis
ion you thought the above papers, by allying
themselves with Bourbon Democracy end the
above principles, would live in remembrance
and prosperity in the hearts of the American
people. Have you forgot, Mr.. Argus, that the
record of Bourboun Democracy is yet fresh in
the minds of the people,. They remember
well few years ago, at the time of that little
onpleasantness which started, grew and thrived
under Democratic administration until offic-
ial and representative men of that party stole
all the money in the national treasury all the
arms. munitions OF war aed war vessels, re-
moved them into Southern territory, and stole
United States forts and fired on the flag of
their country, and in rebellion defied the Gov
eminent. And do you remember how many
Democrats all over the North said to them, 20
ahead we will back you up? And do you re-
member that they had not the courage to back
up their convictions in a suit OF grey but
sneaked back in the rear and chuckled over
any defeat of the Union army, and said they
hoped every one of Old Abe Lincoln's soldiers
would lay their bones on Southern battlefields?
And do you remember that some of the N were
put into Fort Warren, and some of them were
sent out of the country? And you are aware tha
they are Democrats still, high up in the coun-
ellis of the Democratic party, and you are ask
ing honest men to help them into office.
