Mr. Eilli3n ohirrtr1 t0 the resolution.

never intended THAI ANY man should make
money ont Of Il lint that The Stockholders
Should get insurance at actual cost. The

culty of estimating grain in the straw,

BIaine's War Record.

Hon. Z. +. PiIIsbury, of Augusta.
Ale, furnishes sthepublic with Blaine's
war record. We produce it without
comment:
What is his war record that it
should entitlc him to the confidence
of the people, although he was fore
most in the proceedings that led to
the war? He was the first to be
drafted in this district. But prior to
that an organization had been effected
in Augusta to protect men against the
draft, each member paying S25 to the
fund to hire substitute if drafted.
Mr.. Blaine, out of that fund, hired a
substitute named Bradford. A soft
place was found for the man to re-
main at the post in Augusta instead
of going to the front. After awhile
he was detected in selling for money
certain certificates, and was kept in
Jail until the close of the war. That
constitutes Mr.. Blaine's service in the
field. Loud Laughter. After the
war had closed the men who had been
drawn claimed that towns and cities
should pay the expenses they had
been put to, and Augusta generously
voted to pay these men that had paid
for substitutes, and NIr. Blaine got
his bond for 5000. But that is not
the end. Afterwards a resolution
was put before the common council in
Augusta to pay Mr.. Blaine $500, the
amount he paid for substitute, and
it was voted and passed, and he was
paid. That you can rely on as being
a true story"
