Old Orchards Big Pier.
BIDDEFoRD, Feb. Gone of the leading
citizens Of Old Orchard, who has always
been foremost in the agitation of the ques-
| tion of building pier at that place, is said
to have made the statement in the presence
of several Saco gentlemen Saturday, that
| pier would most certainly be built this
| spring, as the contract had already been
made. He further said that it had always
been thought that a 1900 foot pier would be
necessary on account of the long run of
tides upon the beach, but THAT survey had
been recently made which proved that pier
| 1900 feet long would be amply sufficient.

Republican "RefOrmer!"

Our Democratic county commissioners, in
order to accommodate those who had amounts
due them from the county, made arrange
ments with themselves and the Auditor, that
where there was bill against the county,
against which there was no dispute, and could
not be, the Auditor would draw an order
for it upon the signature of one of the COM
missioners. This was done simply 10 ac-
commodate citizens, and while it was not
carrying out the exaJt letter of the law, there
was nothing out of the way in SO doing. But
the ''reformer" came into Office, and to do
something to attract the attention of his con-
stituents to himself he refused to honor bills
SO endorsed. But he attracted more atten-
tion than he bargained for and it was not
many days before he was advising the COM
missioners to help him out, and said he wish
ed they would make some arrangements by
which each could sign the others names! Mr..
Russell was promptly gwen to understand
that the Commissioners were not in the
forgery business. Now, honest tax payers of
"Little Henry" which of these officers would
you rather trust? The Democratic board of
Commissioners and Auditor, or the Republi-
can ''reformer," who advises forgeryin order
to evade the law and accommodate the people?
We deem it unnecessary to say more, but think
we have stated the case correctly and answer
ed the base insinuations and charges of the
Republican smut machine.

Surprise Them!

How it would astonish the readers of the
Signal if that paper through some mistake
would publish courteous or argumentative
editorial. That sheet is yet to give its first
editorial argument upon the all important
question of the tariff, but instead fills its
columns with abuse and slandering of Demo-
Gratis, low blackguardism fit for the columns
of the Police Gazette only. The minds of
our people, be they Democrats or Republi-
cans, are not to be diverted from the import
ant questions in the campaign by such slush,
which has not the semblance of truth and
fairness, but which simply eminates from
the prejudiced brain of the editor or editors
of the Signal. Shades of its departed (not
dead) founder, to what low depths has the
Signal sunk! Good, honest, fair minded
Republicans ars candid enough to admit that
never before in the history of the paper has
it presented such pitiable excuse for exalted
journalism. Throw your smut machine into
the depths of the Maumee, discharge your
low depraved grinders, Mr.. Signal, and your
readers and the community generally will re-
joice in the eradication of a stencil which has
become an abomination to all decency.

az s-"Hon. Levi p. Morton, Republican
candidate for Vice President, gave $12, 600 to
the yellow fever sufferers"
The above paragraph is being paraded
through the Republican press. We don't be-
lieve word of it, but say it was true, the old
monied skinfint had the amount to give, and
in proportion to the amount of his wealth
the sum given is nothing compared to the
widows mite, for she gave all she had. No
doubt Morton gave ten times the above sum
to help along the corrupt Republican ma.
chinery which is grinding daily to mislead
the people and buy up votes for the g. o. p.
and no doubt the story of his giving to the
yellow fever suffers was manufactured by the
same machine, and has about as much truth
in it as his sending boat load of provisions
to the poor in Irelandl Which story wher
sifted down proved that he had taken advant
age of the condition Of the poor Irishman BY
sending boat load of necessaries to ireland
to be sold to him at ruinious prices!

The treasury isnow paying 130 for per cent.
bonds. Six months ago they were selling
freely at 125. Naturally they should have
fallen rather than advanced. But Wall street
combination forces prices to drop into the
surplus. The secretary of the treasury has
no recourse save to buy at their figures, else a
money panic may be precipitated. That is
the practical working of the Harrison plan.
Cleveland's plan is to reduce taxes on the
necessaries of life and prevent surplus,
leaving the money in the channels of bust
ness.
