Local Oflces and Ofice.Seekers,

The Prog. Age says the Collectcrship at Belfast
is an "ofice which is now scarcely worth the hold
ing" Is this case of sour grapes?
Mr.. l.. H. Murch returned from Washington last
Saturday noon. We are not informed as to the
results of his mission, although street rumor says
he brought home his commission as postmaster of
Belfast.
There is quite as bitter fight over the Waldo
boro relationship waged over the Portland
office, says the Portland Press The principal can
didates are E. X. O'Brien and the Hon. Edmund
Wilson, member of the National Democratic Com
mittee. Wilson is endorsed by Chairman Brown,
and OBrien by about all the people who have bust
ness in the Waldoboro office.
Editor Rust is far from happy. After waiting
all these weary weeks for that which he has ever
been chasing-an ofice-he angrv remarks
OF the Belfast relationship that it is Fan Office
hardly worth the holding" Strange that he should
be making such persistent efforts even going on
to Washington, to secure an office of which he now
speaks with so much contempt Some of his rival
candidates may make use of this rash remark, evil

up as the indorser of the vile frauds that are even
condemned by the more respectable Democrats.

There have been about 10000 members in the
Maine legislature since the State admitted,
aud nearly one half of these are supposed to be

therefore be made huge picnic. In that month

while the gurgng brooks sing merrily their

The Record should not be envious, for the

Oh! sometimes when we cook,

Our efforts do not pan out very wcl-weil-well.

Bourbons Break Open Ballot Box

The latest Democratic outrage against the
ballot was at Indianapolis, the home of Vice
President Hendricks. A despatch to the Boston
Herald rightly terms it "high-handcd con-
tempt of court and crime against the ballot"
\ recount of the vote for Mayor and one alder
man in the 2nd district of Indianapolis ordered
by the circuit court, was completed at II o'clock
at night. There We're two Democratic and one
Republican commissioner, and at the latter's
suggestion. after the ballots had been gone over
theywere resealed in their respective bags. and
put in the ballot box, to which there are two
loo IS, one of the keys being held by the Re
publican commissioner and the other by one of
the two Democrats. To the great chagrn of
the Democrats, after this had been done. the
talIies showed that Pritchard had received 1921
votes and Mr.. Ripley 1920, and they insisted on
recount. The Republican commissioner and
watchers demurred to this, and serious
wrangle ensued, in which it was proposed to
call III Judge -Ayres. The chairman of the
Democratic committee claimed to have found
the judge and got verbal authority to open the
box. but this Vas properly doubted. The
ulitlttI ilIdl4N Went over uilll lHUIHlUS. W IltH
the Republicans insisted that the Judge should
hear both sides. The Democratic commissions
ers, however, proceeded 10 break open the ballot
box with Ratchet, and not only that, but
counted tickets in the most outrageous manner
In one instance, where the entire a!dermanic
ticket was scratched, Ripley was given vote
In another. where Pritchard's name was pasted
over kipley's but where the print was not
exactly covered, Ripley was counted and
Prtchard thrown out. Still, again. on a Re
publican ticket, where vote had been cast for
Cottrell for council and Denny for mayor,
Cottrell WAS counted for Mayor and Denny
was thrown OUT The matter, of course. goes
before the court, but whether justice will be
done remains to be seen. The deed goes on
record as another Democratic crime against the
ballot
The trial of Ferdinand Ward occupied less
time than was anticipated. There could hardly
have been any doubt as to the result. The case
against Ward was one of grand larceny-ob-
tanning from the Marine Bank by fraudulent
draft the sum of 81 500. 1t would not be diff
cult. we should think. to bring many more
charges against him and secure his conviction
CD all of them. Few sensational features at
tended the trial and the disclosures anticipated
We're not forthcoming. Ward. it is believed,
will take his punishment and keep a close
mouth. One Of the witnesses was his former
associlte, Fish, late President of the Marine
Bank and a dashlrg man about town, now a
convict serving time in the penitentary at Au-
burn and Il broken old man. His enmity to-
ward Ward was plainly manifested in the court
room. The true nwarduesS of this affair is not
yet, and perhaps never may be, revealed. Ward
has been sentenced to ten years in the state
prison, the full penalty.

Houlton and are glad to learn from the Times
and Pioneer that Houlton is also in a good fnan-
ca condition. For example, the Times says
that at the annual town meeting last March
$4,000 was voted for taking up town bonds.
The selectmen have paid three bonds of 81 900
each also paid the balance due on State tax for
1SSf and County tax for 1885: also paid all
town orders that have been drawn and interest
on railroad and other bonds, and have some
$1,000 on deposit at the bank" Not a dollar has
been hired, so far, this year, which has not
been the case Tor years. The Pioneer makes
the further statement that,
During the municipal wear 1884. the liabilities
