Incorrect and Uncalled For.

Under the heading of Unnecessary
Complication, the Biddeford Journal sees
fit to make an unworthy imputatou on
Mr.. Burleigh, because his son happens to
be one of the owners of the kennebec
Journal. IL is sufficient to say, that the
are based entirely on false premises, and
therefore its conclusions fall to the ground
completely The contract for State priut-
Ing Is completely in the hands of the
Legislature and is always made by "A
Committee of the Legislature, the Gov
ernor having nothing whatever to do
about it. Second, the printing accounts
have sometimes been audited by a Iegisla-
tive Committee and sometimes by Com
mittee Of the Council, who have the assist
snce of an expert practical printer of
character and standing. The writer of
this was formerly one of the firm which
did the State printing for fifteen years,
and in all that time, while there were not
less than seven Governors-M Morrill,.
Williams, Morrill,, Washburn, Coburn,
Cony, and Chamberlaiu--we never knew
them to have anything to do with
state printing. We have the best reasons
to believe that that has been the invariable
rule as to Governors.
Certainly the man whom his present OPP
ponents say is so true, SO unspotted, SO
much needed guardian Of the Treasury of
the State, can be trusted to follow honor
able presidents and to practice strict tinan-
cial integrity in another office. These uu-
fair and wholly uncalled for imputations
on Mr.. Burleigh are not in harmony with
true Republican fraternity and only tend
to promote i'll feeling, where manly cour-
tesv should be the unbending rule. We
are sure that they do him no harm among
those who know his stainless honor.
Seeing that the Journal deems it fit to
concern itself with Mr.. Burleighs private
affairs, 1t Is well to state emphatically,
that Hon. E. c. Burleigh owns not dollar
In the kennebec Journal property, but
that it belongs exclusively to the gentle
men whose names as its publishers stand
at the head of its columns.
Trusting that our Biddeford neighbor
wishes to be governed by the rules Of
truthful journalism, we expect it will
make the dmende honorable by publishing
our above statement entire.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1888-05-26

We print in another column an excellent
article on the gubernatohal question from the
Bangor Wing, which is well worth reading.
Although it speaks in the highest terms of
each of the aspirants to that office, il COM
mends Hon. +. c. Burleigh as the most suit
able person for il. One thing is certain, if
he is nominated, he would receive a larger
popular vote than would either of the others,
very important point in the approaching
presidential contest. His many friends will
be pleased TO learn that of the delegates
chosen to attend the Republican State con-
vention from the different towns throughout
the State very large proportion of them
will vote for them as first choice.
We stated in our last issue that the Calais
and Eastport delegations are solid for Gen.
Cleaves. This find contradicted by the
Sentinel. Neither delegation goes instructed
for any one in particular. If they 60 accord
ing to the sentiments of large majority Of
the voters of this section, they will vote for
Hon. +. c. Burleigh every time.

Nachias Republican,.

A correspondent in the western part of the
state discourses as follows on the Governor
question
"Who is to be our next Governor!
Watchmen tell us what of the night, what its
signs of promise are!' The kind of man
we want is an honest. level headed one, good
and true man of experience; one who has
been proved to be faithful and worthy OF
public confidence and trust, a good temper
ance man, too, of the prohibition type, firmly
planted on the solid ground with both
feet in the path marked out by our
late Governor Joseph r. Bodwell. Such
man we want and need for our next Gov
ernor and of the men that have been named
Hon. +. c. Burleigh comes the nearest to
our ideal man of anyone yet named. Give
us this man and we will give him the full Re,
publican strength of Washington County,
and a good old-fashioned twenty thousand
ajOrity in the State next fall.

The remarkable unanimty with which the
country towns are elccting delegates to vote
for the nomination Of Hon. +. c. Burlegh
in the Republican Convention, speaks
volumes for the estimation in which that
gentleman is held by the masses. He is,
emphatically, man of the people, and
possesses large share of that practical COM
mon sense which made Robe and Bodwell
the best Governors which Maine has had for
years. Either of the other candidates would
make good Governor, but, being profess
sonal men, they have but little in common
with those interests which are peculiar to
the State, of Maine. Ma. Burleigh is a
large land owner and his familiarity with the
agricultural interests of Maine will make
him a valuable Governor. During the
years he has been State Treasurer, he has
gained an acquaintance with all the State
affairs, aud the various interests of even the
most obscure and remote hamlet, enjoyed by
no other man in Maine. Mr.. Burleigh is
the peoples canddate,--t candidate of no
class or sect.

( ArooStook Republican.

Our Augusta correspondent, in the last
issue of the Republican, expressed great con-
fdence in the success of the candidacy of
Hon. f. c. Burleigh at the coming Republi-
can Gubernatorial Convention. Reports that
come to us daily certainly justify that expec-
tation. Here in Aroostook the candidacy of
Mr.. Burleigh meets with universal approval.
and is exciting an enthusiasm, which, when
endorsed by the Convention, will carry all
before it. Many Democrats announce their
determination to vote for Mr.. B., if he is
nominated.
His canvass meets with great favor in
Penobscot. Piscataquis, Somerset. Franklin,
kennebec. Waldo, Hancock, Washington and
Androscoggin counties. and even in Oxford,
Knox, Cumberland and York, where 9th, :

1t wonld seem as though the supporters of
State Treasurer Burleigh made a gigantic
blunder when they defeated Hannibal Ham
lin as delegate from Bangor The old Car
thaginan has hosts of friends who will resent
the slight put upon him Portland 4rgrs.
The sympathy of the Argus for Mr.. Ham
lin and its championship of that gentleman,
will no doubt be estimated at their real
value. But the facts are that no slight was
put upon Mr. Hamlin, and the delegates
elected from his ward are each aud every one
of them his warm friends.

Dexter Gazette.

The State Convention in Bangor, as was
expected, quite plainly indicated by the
sentiment of the delegates, who would b,
the nominee for Governor in the June con
vention at Portland. Careful computation.
by Republican delegates, also by Democrats
who attended the convention as visitors, show
that about three fourths of the delegates
present were Burleigh men. This is about
as we anticipated. Mr.. Burleigh has the
field to himself, and we'll he might have; ne
better man could be selected and the whole
State knows it and is satisfied.

much for Gen. Cleaves should turn back and
