Farmer Allen the Hon. Charles E. Allen
of Dresden, ex.Democratic candidate for
Congress) is all out of sorts with the farmers
OF the second district because they did not
swallow his free trade theories and return
him to Congress instead Of Mr. Dingley.
Like the obstinate twelfth juryman itnever
seems to occur to him thatit may possibly
be that he is wrong and not the six or eight
thousand farmers who disagreed with him.

Out in Kansas the Democrats hay thrown
off all disguise. They no longer invite
government officials to contribute to the ex-
penses of the campaign, but deliberately
assess them and then send them peremptory
notices inviting them to come down with the
amount assessed and be quick about it. One
of these demands was sent to postmaster
who happened to be Republican (the only
Republican postmaster in the State) and he
made the note public.

Speaker Carlisle tells his constituents in
effect that the only legitimate purpose of a
tariff is to raise sufficient revenue to meet
the necessary expenses of the government
OF course this excludes the imposition OF
duties for the purpose of protecting home
industry and home labor; and is tantamount
to declaration in favor of free trade. Yet
when Speaker Carlisle comes North during
the campaign and speaks in districts where
industries flourish and where laboring men
are dependent upon the success Of these
industries for their daily bread, he will be-
gin to hedge, and declare that the raising of
the free trade issue is Republican trick,
that Democrats are just as good protection
lists as Republicans, that the only difference
between them is as to the details Of the tariff,
as to how much protection shall be given
this or that article.

So eagerly are our women citizens taking
measures to vote for school committee next
December that they are crowding the regis
tering Office. There has been misunder-
assessment in order to vote at the city cleo
ton for school committee. A statement
from the Board of Registrars OF Voters,
shows that women can be assessed up to the
LIST of October, and it is unnecessary for
them to register at present Any time before
Nov. q will suffice. In regard to assessment
the law provides s'that any woman, who is a
citizen Of the Commonwealth, may, on or
before the first day Of October in any year,
give notice in writing, accompanied by salts
factory evidence, to the assessors Of a city or
that year an inhabitant thereof, and that she
desires to pay a poll tax, and to furnish

Mr.. Putnam in his Boston speech contend
ed that the Democrats made vigorous and
aggressive fight in 1884, and that therefore in
comparing the Republican victory of this year
with that Of four years ago no allowance
should be made for superior sctivity and ag-
gressiveness on the part of the Democratic
campaign Of this year. The Argus appears
inclined to take the same view, and to con-
tend that the Democratic fight of four years
ago was just as vigorous as that of this year.
Four years ago, however, that was not the
view it took Of it. The NOR ming after the
election of September, 1884, it said:
The Democrats believing it useless to contend
against mint Of money and an army Of ONCE
holders, have made no fight. They have been
without an organization and without campaign
voters, or TO canvass the State. 1t was thought
best to postpone the fight until November.
And the next day it said:
The result In Maine was foregone conclusion
TO those who were behind the scenes and knew
the utter lack of organization and management Of
the Democratic campaign in this State.
Here then are two distinct and unequiyocal
admissions from the leading organ of the
Maine Democracy of what the Republicans
are now claiming, namely, that the Demo-
Gratis made no fight in 1884, but practically
allowed the election to go by default.

What it was the Democrats undertook to
celebrate out to Biddeford last night is a
mystery. In Biddeford the Republicans at
the recent election made gain Of over 200
votes, and Biddeford is situated in con-
gressional district that doubled the Republi-
can plurality of two years ago. These facts
are worthy of celebration, but it was not
supposed that the Democrats would feel like
doing the celebrating. Perhaps, however. it
is the proud consciousness" on the part of
the Biddeford Democracy that they came
out of the contest with "honor unsullied"
and self respect undiminishedv that they
feel happy about. From some previous con-
tests in that locality some Of the Democratic
leaders have come out with indictments over
their heads for ballot box stufing and hiring
repeaters. 1t may be they have been cele-
brating the fact that this time no such misfor-
tunes have befallen them.

Mr.. Cleveland's administration has evil
IDENTIFY become alarmed in regard TO its fate
In November, and has determined to openly
and unreseryedly use the patronage Of the
government for all it may be worth to avert
impending defeat. On this hypothesis
only can be explained the summary removal
Of Mr.. r. O.. jackson, superintendent of the
railway mail service. No charge of ineffi-
cheney is made against him, he is not accused
even Of political activity, nothing is alleged
against him except that he is Republican.
and for that reason cannot be expected to
use his Office to promote the political for
tunes of a Democratic administration. His
dismissal is the immediate work of Postmas-
ter General Dickinson, confessedly spoils-
man and believer in the Jacksonian doc
trine that the Offices belong to the vietors
and ought to be used to promote the political
interest Of these yictors. But the place
where the ultimate responsibility rests is the

son is a mere subordinate liable to removal

chief. Whether the removal of Jackson was

Whatever Maine may have been in the past, It
Is no longer fairly representative of American
Intelligence and progress 1t is corruptibe. 1t
Is fanatical. 1t Is on the decline The last appor-
tionment took one Congressman from it. The
next will take another and, perhaps two.
Whether such State goes Democratic or Repub-
lcan really makes no difference.-[C Chicago
The Chicago Herald cannot name State
of the Union that now has, or has within
twenty years had, outside Of the mere brute
strength of its votes, greater influence in
the councils Of the nation than the State of
Maine. Maine, it is true, has but four Con-
gressmen as compared with thirteen from
that area of distinguished incorruptibiIity,
and Democracy in and around Manhattan
Island. But every Congressman from Maine
counts in influence in the government of his
country; while of the whole thirteen from
the Manhattan region, there are perhaps
three of national reputation. and one of
them is known as buffoon and another for
the famous remark that "a little thing like
U. s. Constitution should not be allowed to
come between friends" AS for the city of
Chicago, she has a representation equal to
Maine'g. Yet no one would ever know it
from anything they ever do. If Chicago is
not corruptible or fanatical or on decline,
she is certainly very dull and stupid.
