friends would bave been pleased to have Mr..
Varney succeed, there is very little attempt
to conceal the satisfaction felt at Mr. BASES
discontinue, and not few declare that but
for his otficiousness the Office would have
come to Bangor. 1t seems that the whole
movement for the removal of District Attor-
ney Lunt was worked up by Mr.. Bass, who
made several trips to Washington for the
purpose and had newspaper bulletins sent

while he shook the tree Simple Simon Brown
bagged the persimmons for his Portland eli

recalling the grand strategy by which Mr..
Bass secured the defeat Of w. A. Cromwell
by helping elect Brown chairman of the
State Committee, which position he has
used to beat Mr.. Bass in the office brokerage
business. 1t is very sad.

After RiePs counsel have exhausted all the
legal bubbles they are going to put in the
plea Of insanity. RiePs diary undoubtedly
shows that he is the victim to a certain ex-

His best hold is the fact that the government
dares not hang him and therefore may not
be over and above anxious to convict him.

Washington dispatches say that Postmas-

consider his determination not to pay the
steamship companies the 100000 voted by
Congress for carrying the mails. The nten-
ton of Congress clearly was that this money
should be paid over, but Mr.. Villas discover
ed technicality by which he could avoid
complying with the law. This he availed
himself Of. But the prospect that all the
mails will be thrown into the hands of for
eign steamship companies and the numerous
protests against his decision which are com
ing from the people of the Pacific slope are
giving him good deal of uneasiness.
