HARD FACTS.


The trials Just concluded at Alfred have left
i'll the minds of many persons doubts as to the
guilt of some of the parties arraigncd. But of
certain facts there can be no kind Of doubt.
First-A Gang of eight repeaters We're inn
ported into the city on the eighth of March last,
for the purpose Of illegally swelling the vote
for the democratic candidates for municipal
office.
Sccondly-Four of the rcpeaters, at least,
actually did vote on names furnished them by
their democratic employers and were taken
rcd-headed and locked up by officers of the law.
Thirdly-The rcpeatcrs We're hired and
brought to the city by Joseph II. Cote. then an
official in Portland custom house and he. with
James +. Carter, gave them names TO perSonate,
and conducted them TO the polling places where
they voted.
Fourthly-Thc rcpeatcrs made the asscssors
office i'll the city buildings their bases of oper-
ation>, Cote taking them there in the morning,
and they returning there after each visit to Il
polling place
Fifhly-Some one furnished the money to
bring the repeaterS here.
SiXthly-The manipulatorS of the democratic
party i'll Bddcford promptly came forward
afterthe arrest and acknowledge their creatures,
by furnishing bail to set them at liberty.
And in a word, an elaborate conspiracy was
afoot i'll this city, ON and prior to the Sth day
of March last. to elect the Democratic candi-
dates for municipal officers bv corrupt and il
legal means. Bitdcfor'l Times.

Referred to the Record.

The Republicans of Maine are very ready to
vote pensions to soldiers, out of the national
treasury, and to make them conspicuous in
parades but when it comes to the distribution
of offices, they are expected to take back
seat and do the cheering. Boston Herald.
The stupidity or menIacity of the Herald is
almost beyond comprehension. In the past
twenty years Maine has had eight Governors
For this position during that period the Re-
pubcanS have nominated six soldiers and two
civilians. Republican soldiers have filled the
gubernatorial chair twelve years since 1865
and Republican civilians five years. The other
three years the Democrats held the office.

Mr.. Blaine's Speech.
From the Boston Pilot June r.

From the Boston Pilot June II.
We publish on another page a full report of
the great speech delivered by Hon. James q.
Me-, last week. 1t is Il remarkable address
searching, original, lucid and forcible. There
is no demagogiSm, no rhetorical tinsc in this
address, the whole strength of which lies in
its logical presentation of undenablc truths.
Because we are no friend of Mr. Blaine. and
because we have fought him openly and hear
tily in politics, we must acknowledge that
there is no trace of insinceritv apparent in his
Portland utterance. A denlagogue in such a
case would have relied upon tlouriShcs of elo-
quence to carry his hearers; Mr.. Blaine uses
only cool statistics and facts of history. So,
too, he pays his hearers the highest compliment
when he leaves to their impartial appreciation
two such utteranceS as these:
''Now, | was educated under PRESBYTERIAN iutltl-
ences have connection with that church by kin
dred, blood and affinity that began with my life
and shall not cease until my life ends"
81 have only one word more to say, and that
word Is that the lrishmen of this country should
keep this question Us it has been Kept thus far
out of our own political struggles, and mark any
man as at enmity with their cause who seeks to
use it for personal or for partisan advancement"
If this be demagogiSm it is of such high and
subtle order that it cannot be distinguished
from true political wisdom, and it would be
both ungenerous and unreasonable to doubt
MIR. Blalnc's sincerity in such uttcranccS. The
soundneSs of the advice in the paragraph last
quoted cannot be too strongly emphasized.
But our English cousins do not take kindly
to the expressions of the Maine statesman;
Lord Salisbury, in particular, wincing under
the lash of these words-it is little matter
whether they We're applied to him, or, as Mr..
Blaine says, to his policy-it was his flesh that
they cut
s.Therefore we have to saw that Lord salisbury
may be called mpulent. we would not tr;lnsgrcss
courtesy if we called him insolent would not
transgress truth If we calle't him brutal We know
