This is the last week before the State ele,

This is the last week before the State cleo
ton. Whatever is to be done must be done
quickly. There will be plenty of meetings to
inform and arouse The people, and it is well
that they should be fully attended But
there is much other work to be done. Every
Republican voter should look out for his
own vote and make every arrangement to
attend to the business of casting it next
Monday. Let him then see to it that all ar
rangements are completed for securing eve
~ Republican vote in his neighborhood
Let there be no failure by default. Remem-
Der that the majority given next Monday for
Governor ROBBIE counts not only for him and
for Maine; but it will have powerful inlu-
enci In determining the majority for the Re-
publican candidates in the Presidential cleo
ton in November. Now is the time to
"whoop her up" Turn out to the meet
ings, take your doubling friends along with
you, and get ready to do your duty next
Monday as men who love your State and
country and mean not only to save both from
the dishonor of Democratic success; but to
make Republican success splendid and exem-
plary.

The sneak correspondent of the Argus
who assumes the name Shakespeare"
probably because he thinks to play the role
OF an Iago in politics fatters himself by pre-
Stunning that we singled out one of his insin-
uations to brand it as defamatory lie be-
cause the others could not be contradicted,
and he quotes some attorneys Latin to the
effect that the mentis of one is an exclu-
sion of the others. He mistakes the princi-
pie applicable to the case. 1t is this, Falsus
IN uno, fatsas IN omnibus, which means that
if person lies about one matter he will lie
about anything and can be believed in moth
ing that he alleges. This is especially true
OF the sneaks who, like Iago, SANDER by in
situation to crafty their malice. 1t does
not make a lie any the less lie to resolve it
into thirteen propositions all of which are
lies. We call attention to the fact that this
sneak, whatever alias he assumes has given
no authority higher than ''they say'' for any
charge against Mr.. Reed. We do not sus-
pect that any decent man attaches impor-
lance to the insinuations of an anonymous
sneak; but in this case there is no question
that lie is right in thinking his charges are
more likely to obtain credit if he conceals his

The alleged letter of Green B. Raum,
which Mr.. Raum pronounces forgery, first
appeared in the New York Evening Post of
Thursday. 1t was sent to the Post by
correspondent who had no evidence that it
was genuine though the Post says he appar-
entity regarded it as such. The Post took no
pains itself to ascertain whether it was what
it purported to be or what it turns out to be,
but rushed it into print remarking among
other things that ''it will create an amount
of indignation against the gang of black
mailers who are at work in Washington that
that will have the most important political
results for them and their aiders and abet-
ters." AS the letter turns out to be fsrg-
cry, the work probably of some of the Dem
ocratic managers in New York, the POSTS
paragraph needs some repairs. These need
not be very extensive however. A change
of two words-blackmailer to forgers and
Washington TO New York-and an addition
will be sufficient, and then the paragraph
will read sit will create an amount of indig-
nation against the gang of forgers who are
at work in New York that will have the
most important political results for them
and their aiders and abetters-the National
Democratic Committee.

The Bangor Commercial says eve fear
the use of money" The Commercial and
all the other Democratic papers, seeing that
an Overwhelming defeat of Judge Redman
is inevitable, are getting into position to
shout the morning after election that the
Republicans bought the State. It's an old
game. For the last quarter of century
every Republican victory in this State has
been explained by the Democratic press in
this way, and in not single instance has
the explanation been the true one. We
should suppose the rank and file of the
Democratic party would resent the contin-
ued intimation of their own newspapers
that they can be bought to vote against the
principles they profess.

In the article in Saturdays issue under
the caption of 'The Sheriffs of the Liquor
Law" one or two errors crept in. The total
number of gallons seized by Sheriff True
and his deputies during nineteen months
was 1925 instead of 43, 1926 as printed, SO
that the contrast between the efficiency of
Sheriff Sawyer and Sheriff True is even
more marked than stated in that article.
Another error which was, however, so obvi-
GUS that every reader probably made the
proper correction was the substitution Of
Sawyer for "True'' in the statement of
the record of seizures before the municipal
election of 1888 and 1884. It should have
read ''the record of Sheriff True's deputies
before the Spring elections Of 1888 and
1874 -

The Argus which has been in the way Of
asking questions concerning the enforce
ment of the liquor law ought now to pro-
found few to its candidate for Sheriff. It
might ask Mr.. Sawyer how it happened that
in the month of August 1882 neither he nor
his deputies made a single seizure while in
the month of October he made So. Did the
rumsellers take vacation during August
and close their shops, or is Mr.. Sawyer in IA
vor of letting up on them during the "heat-
ed term? Another pertinent Inquiry to
make of Mr.. Sawyer would be whether the
cheated term" by his almanac is always GER
tain to begin about month before election
and close Immediately after.

Whoever wrote and isued the Madigan cir
cular, one thing is certain, namely, that Har-
ris NJ, Plaisted profited by it. 1t was circu-
lated in the district in which he was can
didate for Congress, and was intended to
help along his election. Furthermore the
Democratic press has again and again accus-
ed Plaisted of being the author of it, and de-
nounced him for it. Two years ago when he
was a candidate for Governor, and three
years ago when he was candidate for the
same office, he had made no denial of the
charge that he concocted and circulated it,
and it was the prevailing belief among Dem

A YARN SPUN BY AN OLD SALT.

1t was an aged mariner
Had weathered many gale;
In crafts of every sort of rig
Which on the seas may sail.
on Hatteras and round the Horn,
And in the Chinese seas,
He'd been piped up to grog since he
Had left his mothers knees.
And he had raised a breeze no doubt,
In every port comprised
In any map, from Cosa's down
To Colton's last revised.
But being now useless hulk
Laid up for good in port;
And lounged about the wharves and spun
Yarns neither few nor short.
One eve he sat on Widgery's wharf
And watched the ebbing tide;
His little nephew, ten years old,
Was on his starboard side.
He sat and seemed to muse,-for thus
Life's currents ebb away
When all at once he said "Iy stars!
It's twenty years to-day"
"Why Nuncle, what was that?' cried Jack.
Such was the nephew's name;
Gin every port where he had moored
His uncle's was the same)
"I'll tell yer, neyvy," Jack replied,
1T was the rummiest go
ever knowed on while sailed,
I'm blarsted if faint sop
He fixed the black patch up bit
Upon his larboard eye;
And said, I'm eighty-four it was;
How fast the years scud by!
'"Twas on the Lowell that sailed
With coal for this ere bay;
We had nine knot breeze or so,
And kept right on our way.
'"Twant long afore a masthead light
We saw, and then red;
Red, Keep her Straiglttn our skipper groacled,
Twas straight kept her head.

And sung our skipper out,
Why, go one acGy or t'other, man!
Say a0hat are yer G6out''
with that she doomed above our bow:
Why! twas man o. war!
She'd been a-lumberin' all about
AS if there want no law,

Now into that ERE craft

The schooner you'd have laughed!
But, blast my eyes. Jack! whatd' yer think?
hadn't time to bite
Another chaw of baccy off
When she showed t'other light.
And then turned my helm bit
And struck her fair and square
Upon her starboard bow. Well, Jack,
1t would have made yer stare
ITO see her timbers fly, and, then,
To see her foremost go!

Twas such a jolly show.

And filed the schooner up;
There wasn't room about her, Jack,
Where you could set cup.

And stern turned to the skies,
She plunged as have seen bull
When struck betwixt the eyes,
