WIDE AWAKE.
Watervi!le Republicans Turn Out in
Force.

Special to the Kennebec journal.
WATERvILLE, Aug. 81.
The republicans of Watervile are wide
awake and thoroughly united. Two fine
everybody from the most exalted to the
m ost humble is ready and anxious "to march
with the boys" Within two weeks, besides
the grand rally of Monday night, three large
Harrison & Morton banners have been flung
to the breeze with appropriate ceremonies
and tomorrow evening fourth will be un-
furled This evening a large crowd assem-
bled in the skating rink and listened to a
most eloquent political address from Hon.
John p. Dolliver of Iowa, whose telling points
heartily applauded. The orator, accompan-
led by F. A. Waldron, ESQ.,, the presiding
officer of the evening, was escorted to the
rink from the Elmwood hotel by the Har
rison and Morton club, the Business Mems
club and the Harrison and Morton cadets,
headed by the Waterville band. Mr.. Dolli-
yer, in beginning his address, remarked that
he was to speak for the republican party,
and that it was luxury to be a member of a
party, every line of whose history and policy
could be endorsed. He then proceeded to
compare the earlier history of the two great
parties and then stated, that in his opinion,
the American people would correct the error
of four years ago, and elect Harrison
and Morton in November next. The reasons
why this result would be brought about were
the blunders of the present administration,
its broken pledges, particularly in regard to
the civil service, and democratic incapacity
to deal with the questions of the day as
proved by their past record. Among
these questions were the labor and tariff
problems and the denial of the right of suf-
frage in the south. The southern problem
and the tariff question were discussed ably
aud at length.

he wonld do.
Officer Breen testified that when he ar

GOVERNMENT PRINTING.
Public Printer Benedict's Misuse Of
Office.

NAshiNeroN, Aug. 81.
Representative Gallinger has completed his
minority report upon the result of the inves.
tgation of the printing committee into the sd
mlnistration of the government printing
office.
The report is very long and bitterly critical
of Public Printer Benedict and the majority
OF the committee. 1t charges that the major.
ity suppressed important evidence which
would rebut the charge that the late Public
Printer Rounds had privately sold govern.
ment presses at ridiculously small prices.
IL alleges that Mr.. Benedict discharged
union soldiers and filled their places with
confederates, that the work of the Office 10
largely in arrears; that he improperly had
access 10 the record of the evidence as IL WAS
'aken by the committee that he practiced
rank fsvoritism in the awarding of contracts.
that he is not practical printer, and that he
has by false figures and statements imposed
upon Congress and the country.
The report defends Mr. Rounds admins
tratiou as honorable, conscientious and able,
and in conclusion declares that enough vio-
latiors of the law and evidences of incom-
potency have been shown by the testimony
TO warrant the immediate removal from Office
of I. t. Benedict, the present public printer.

its provisions, and said; "It is our turn now
to deal with this question when we are
