The Biddeford Election.

IMPORTED IIIREIINGS CARRY THE CITY.
This city has witnessed to-day one of the most
shameless spectacles that ever di>graced New
England municipality. The polling places have
been packed with democratic repeaterS import
ed from Portland, Lewiston and other places,
and from the first the general result of the
election was a foregone conclusion. the question
of majority depending only upon the frequency
and success of the gang of imported hirengS
in getting in their work.
Notwithstanding the fact that four of these
graceles> scamps have been locked up in Saco
Jail, the work of double, treble and even sex
tuple voting has been carried on with more or
less success throughout the day. Outsiders
may ask, how can this be? Easily enough
Every cheek list and ballot box is in democrat
ic hands; every police officer and constable is a
sworn democrat; the city hall building, the city
treasury and the city rum shop are under dem
ocratic control; repeating under such crcunl-
stances Is as easy as rolling off a log.
The city hall building has been the main
base of operations. The men who have engin-
eered this shameful piece of trickery and crime
hibernate there. The repeaters have come out
from that building and other convenient quar-
ters, singly or in squads, and after making the
round of the wards, return for fresh instruc-
tions and change of costume, perhaps for Il
second foray, and again for II third and fourth,
taking their chances of arrest-for fat con-
sideration. [Biddeford Journal, It'll.

just three lines in the daily paper
That met my eyes to-day,
They told of a death i'm a far-otf land
Where the south winds sweetly play.
Long wears have fled since we parted
In the gray December frost,
And the lines and cares of score of wears
Our lives have scanned and crossed.
All me, the wears have fitted
our paths dver"ing wide,
And time and space crcpt on apacC
Till memory well nigh died.
But the line iii the daily paper
That met my eye to-day,
Has opened the grave Of the buried past
And rolled the stone away
| see once more the pine wood.
And the stretch of sandy beach,
And the restless flow of the ocean blue
As far As the eye could reach.
| see the cattle standing
Knee deep in the fragrant grass
And the daisies White, in the summer light,
And the tinted clouds sail past
| hear the wild birds trillin9
Their notes in the dark pine wood,
And the tapping waves with their cadence sweet
Below lis where we stood.
The stars came out and sWectly
Looked down on the story told,
And the moons pure face. with perfect grace
Lent Il charm to the tale old
50 the severed ties of girlhood
Came back with sudden pain.
And the hopes and fears of buried wears
Are with ne once again
But the grave is sweet with blossoms
Meath the far-otl southern sward,
And the thoughtlc,s heart of by-gone Years
Has passed meath the Christening rod.

Old, of about 20 tons, and valued at SO. 900.
She was insured. She was owned by Timothy

condition, and the owners knew nothing which
would justify even Il speculation As to the cause
of the accident.
The accident, which is the first of the kind
that has ever happened in Boston harbor, has

who may be seen in knots along the water
front discussing the sad fate of the crew. who
were very popular among their fellows. All

More "Jeffersonian Simplicity.'

Since last weeks article was printed the New
York Tribune has come to hand with a review
of the first year under Democratic rule. The
writer says:
1t cannot be said that the promises of ''re-
form and "Jetlersonian simplicity" of which
so much was heard year ago have borne sub
stantial fruit at the White House. The country
remembers that good deal was said about a
reduction of the clerical force; that the number
of doorkeepcrs was to be cut down; that horses
and carriages We're to be got rid of, and more
to the same purpose. Indeed, L recollect that
the organ of the Administration one morning
gravely announced that the chef of President
Arthur had been discharged and a Bridget in
stalled in his place. and even that pie had been
restored to its place of honor on the Presiden-
tial menu from which it had been banished by
order of Mr.. Cleveland's effete and luxurious
predecessor. All these things and doings of the
President, who was represented as sitting at
work in his shirt-sleeves at six O'Clock in the
morning, were fully set forth by the Admins
tratlon organ,-now, alas, an organ no more.
And yet, people who know whereof they speak
and who have survived the official dinners Of
successive Administrations, assure their friends
that never before have they sat down to bet
ter appointed table, partaken of more luxurious
feasts or drunk finer wines than those which
the Jeffersonan simplicity of President Ceve-
land provided for them. AS for the floral
music, the pomp and ceremonial-they east
anything that General Arthur ever attempted
far into the shade.
