IL Cannot BIO Done

The Rockland Opinion has been very
industrious in trying to bring di>credit
upon Hon. J. r. Bodycll the Republican
candidate for Governor 1t commenced
long before he vas nominated by throw
ing out in,inuationS, hoping to prevent
hi, nomination 1t failed in this and
will fail in attempting to defeat him at
the polls
The Rockland Free Press Of last week
contains the following:
The Opininn can make no capital
against Mr.. Bodwcll az II candidate foI
Governor, by allegations of fraud in
connection with work for the govern
mcnt under what was known as the
fifteen per cent contracts. 1t happens
to have been our lot to be very familiar
with those contracts, very much more so
than the editor of the OpiHioH can have
been, and from our knowledge of them,
without entering into any discussion of
the merits of the system, we can assert
that there is no more ground for Charg-
ing collision or fraud against the
contractor under them, than under the
the common form of contract. MIR. Bod
we'll entered into competition as bidder
and obtained the work, bringing hundreds
of thousands of dollars to Maine for eX-
penditurc among its mechanics, merchants,
farmers and sailors and it is not only in
bad taste and bad judgment, but little less
than criminal to publish allegations as the
Opihj0n does, with the intent to create the
impression that those who were fortunate
enough To obtain snch contracts obtained
and prosecuted them by fraud. But this
is n part of its uniform course toward
large employers. We remember it was
once compelled to eat its own words very
humbly in such case.

The Cutting Case,

There is considerable excitement over
the ease of \. X. Cutting newspaper
proprietor who was deprived of his libcr-
ty by Mexican authority on the account
of certain publications that appeared in
his paper There seems to be some ques-
ton whether he is All American citizen
although he claims to be His paper was
published in FL Paso, Mexico. He has
been tried by Mexican Court. Cutting
was offered Il chance to speak, but simply
stated that he could not recognize the
court and that he was in the hands of his
government. The judge then pronounced
him guilty and the court adjourned.
He has since been sentenced to 30 days
Imprisonment and to pay fine of $500.
The government at Washington pro-
tested against his arrest and the State of
Texas was terribly exercised over it,
The Secretary of State made an effort
to get Congress to take Il hand in the
affair and inspired the House Committee
on Foreign Relations to report a reSou-
ton very strongly demonstrating against
the action of Mexican authorities. This
resolution had been intended to furnish
the basis for Il vigorous foreign policy for
use. Republican members of
the House Committee on Foreign Affairs
have conclusive evidence that Cutting
carried his newspapers to Mexico himself
and that he is clearly within the libel law
Of Mexico.

Will the Investment Pay?

This is the first question a Yankee asks to-
day, when you speak to him Of business.
What is best for me, and how shall keep the
love and admiration OF my husband is the up
permost thought OF the wife. Every hard work
ing husband is discouraged when he comes
home at night and his wife greets him with Il
complaint Of always being Frustrated tired and
neryoss. What kind of companion is she +;
1t all comes Of nine tenths unnecessary care
and anxiety to keep up eXacting appearances,
while the world presents nothing but destructive
stimulants and narcotics to suppress the lndlg-
nation OF an abused nervous system Too much
doctors bill and servant girl, and ruined nerves
is the reason young men won't marry, and if
they do, they want divorce soon, to end their
unexpected slavery. If women would take bet
ter care of their nervous system, that would end
it, Well how can they Not BY abuse of slim
ulan's morphine and drugs but the extract Of
the Moxie Nerve Food plant will, and not harm
them. To feed strength is not to drive sup
press. Ten cents worth day will make any
woman strong and proper helpmeet for her
husband. Ask your neighbors who use il and
see if it is not so. Any druggist has it. 1t has
created more excitement than Presidential
election.
Everybody talks Moxie now. 1t is on every
nervous woman's brain. Like good meal on a
hungry stomach, it helps you at once, and
leavrs no reaction. But suppose as long as
peoyle overdo and abuse themselves, they must
repair correspondingly. As this has proved it.
sci, very harmless, it is undoubtedly much bet
Ger for the people TO use than the multitude OF
slush in vogue. The weakly people act like
crazy looms over it. To hear them talk, you
would think there was nothing else in the world.

utterly Ignored" Again.

Under date of August 81, \. o. Frcder-
ic, Esq, South Norridgcwock. County
Treasurer, writes rs follows
Edtor Reporter;
We notice in the REPORTER
of last week under "Ittcrly Ignored" Il
statement that the town of Skowhegan
has paid to the County the sum of Sl240
as liquor fines during the past year.
wish to correct this statement as re-
CARDS the amount paid. There has been
paid to the County Treasurer since Jan.
1855 up to the present time the sum of
$40 as liquor fines from the town of
Skowhegan."
In regard to the above we have to say
that the figures used were from reliable
sources and substantially correct with the
explanation that in two of the cases
where the fines were imposed appeals had
been taken and they have not been tried
yet--a fact that we were not aware of at
the time the article was writtcn-and The
sum of one hundred dollars had not, at
the date of the Treasurer's communica-
ton reached the County Treasury.

The County Convention,

Tuesday next the Republicans of Som
erset County meet in Convention to nomi-
nate candidates for Senator and County
officers to be supported at the polls, and
elected September 18th next
We need not urge upon Republicans
the importance of placing Il strong ticket
in the field There is no chance for rea-
sonablc doubt about the election of the
Republican nominees but this Is no argu-
ment in favor of inconsiderate nomina-
tons. The correct theory is to make the
best nominations possible whether the
party is strong or weak and to make the
best fight practicable at the polls. 1t Is
not enough to win by bare plurality.
Republicans of Somerset ought to hold the
majority well up TO the magnificent fig
ures of 1884. If they do this ii will be
easier to do il again two years hence and
the most effective step to be taken in this
direction, is to name ticket in Conyen
ton that will be cordially and enthusiasts
tically supported at the polls. We are
confident that this will be done.

There seems to be delightful middle
among the Democratic factions in the 2nd

Ex-Gov. Garcclon received the Democratic
nomination which created considerable
dissatisfaction in the ranks and call was

This met in due time but the attendance
was so small that they adjourned to Aug.
9Th. when Col. VIM r. EuSts was placed
in nomination. He had previously been
nominated by gathering of Prohibition
lists at Portland for the same office.
