disregard of laws and constitution that
which had fairly been wrested from them
at the ballot-box by the supreme will OF
the people. A republican majority in the
legislature of thirty six was converted by
the Garcelon conspirators through their
fraudulent count into fraudulent demo-
cratic majority of twenty-six. The repub-
licans demonstrated and respectfully asked
to have the questions in dispute submitted
to the decision of the Supreme Court
Their request was for time denied bat
at last reluctantly granted. The Justices
of the court unanimously agreed in decid-
ing that the course of Garcelon and his
Council was opposed to law. Did the
conspirators yield to the voice OF the aa-
thorized expounders of the laws OF the
State ? Not at all. They went on with
their attempt to steal the State. The State
House was filled with an armed mob to
carry out by force if possible the outrage
attempted. The opinion of the court was
trampled upon. Those who asked justice

The Zion's Herald gives fair represen-
tation ofthe status of prohibition in Maine.
by printing timely and sensible article
from the pen of K. w. Dunn. Esq. of Wa
terville. Mr.. Dunn characterizes the
statement by one or two over-shot men,
bers of the prohibtory party. so-called.
that liquor selling and drinking is on the
increase in Maine. as very ill-advised. He
writes: II do not say that they wilfully
state what they know to be false. but that
their party zeal and prejudice blind their
eyes to the true condition of affairs. I'm
consciously they have placed in the
hands Of our opponents strong ar
gument against advancing prohibit
tory legislation to its highest form"
In their efforts to promote party ends they
really have injured the cause of temper
ance. Mr.. Dunn states that outside of
the cities and larger villages. where vice
and crime always manifest themselves
more openly than elsewhere. open liquor
selling is unknown. and the secret or sus-
pectcd places where 1t Is sold are very
few. And he adds that the liquor-shops
in the cities are not like the open bars in
other States but places where those who
wish for liquor to drink can procure it.

The editors Of the New Age promise
the readers of that paper that they will
speak at some time in the future upon the
one great lesson which the Cincinnati af-
fair teaches-"the necessity of the en-
forcement Of all laws and of obedience TO
constituted authorities"
When we recollect that Ex-Governor
Plaisted aided and abetted the counting
out fraud in this State attempted under
Governor Garcelon. fraud more wicked.

act which caused the streets of Gin
cinnati to run red with blood, and that he
has never bv word or act announced a
change of opinion upon that subject. we
wonder what he can have to say about
obedience to law and constituted authori-
ties that anybody in this State can read
with anv sort of patience.
The act of Gsrcelon and his associates
was an act done in defiance of law. l;
was done too in defiance of the registered
will of the people as declared in the elee-

outrage against law. and against the dear

upon Quebec, in which Montgomery fell,

Curious InterjectIOns.

An odd thing about interjections is that
very few people know what they imply
when they use them, One of the most fa-
miliar of all is the cry, Dear mel" which,
as comedy that had very long run some
years ago, went to prove-though proof
was not necessary-is susceptible of many
interpretations when differently spoken.
Few people are, perhaps, aware that "Dear
me" is believed to be a corruption of the
common French "Mon Dieu," through the
Italian "Dio Mo-" These words, when
quickly pronounced, sound much like the
often heard Dear me-" and are supposed
to have originated the phrase while the
companion cry, "Oh dear me !" is said to
be the English form of "Ay de mi |" How
it happens that words and phrases from all
countries have been pressed into service by
English speakers is matter which it would
be very difficult to explain but the fact

Democratic Unity and Sincerity

From the lrish-Amercan.
OF the result of the strugglc---the
success of the democratic ticket-we
do not entertain the slightest doubt
Aside altogether from the exalted
character of the candidates il has pre-
sented to the country, the attitude and
temper of the convention at Chicago
afford the best assurance that in this
fight the democrats throughout
the Union will be united aud in
earnest and with the assistance which,
in the work of reform, they must re-
ceive from all good citizens, of what
ever previous political leanings, they
cannot fail not only to hold all that,
in 1876, they conquered under the "old
ticket" but also to carry such states as
Ohio and Michigan-which the repub-
licans themselves now concede to be
donbtful--with a strong probability of
gaining such states rs Wisconsin and
those of the Pacific coast The pros
pect is n cheering one and its very
brightness is not only an incitement to
labor, but an inculcation of the neces-

yer Cleveland.
The platform when sifted of the
regulation clap-trap that is inseparable
from all modern party deliverances, is
sound, sensible and patriotic. It is
honest for the protection of industry,
for the maintenance of our manufac-
lures, for the strict enforcement of
public economy and for the reform of
our debauched aud debauching profit.
gscy by the reduction of taxes to the
economical necessities of The govern
ment. On these vital issues the great
productive industries OF the land have
commanded frank and manly tribute
from the supreme tribunal of Democ-
racy, and free trade has been elimina-
ted from our party conflicts by the he
roic revolt and victory under the lead
of Samuel J. Randall. There is no i'd
lotto theory in the Cleveland platform
to breed revolt in 1884 as it was bred
in 1880, and the plain issue of honest,
economical public administration comes
with revolutionary tread to restore free
government to the purity that is its life
blood and to crown with dignity and
power the noblest government of men.

Why Mr.. Blaine is Opposed,
10 BOSTON Transcript, Rep.

From the Boston Transcript, Rep.
What does an exclusively personal
contest import 7 The opening OF the
floodgates of scandal, the raking of
cesspools for electioneering matter and
a canvass which in its material should
be confined to the Police Gazette. Mr..
Blaines republican opponents are not
shut up to any such necessity. They
oppose him from their want OF conf
dence in him, considering his whole
career as a federal representative aud
senator; on account of his demagogic
looseress of views on the question of
coin; because he abused his senatorial
privileges to attack Massachusetts,; in
the position of secretary of state, so
comitted the general government that
the utmost skill of his successor was
required TO preserve the good name of
the repubblic and settle the difficulties
Mr.. Blaine's rash measures produced;
because OF the unworthy elements
gravitating to his support, and from
the fear that his election would prove
setback TO civil service reform. These
are sufficient grounds on which TO OPP
pose Mr.. Blaine and dispense with the
need of engaging in microscopic dis
sections of the two principal candi-
dates.
