Concerning Clubbing.

The Democracy allege that the aliens of
blddeford have been deprived of privileges
which they have been exercising, by quib-
Die, and are very profuse in their denuncia-
tlon OF people who are supposed to be respon-
sible for 1t. The contempt of the Democ-
racy Tor what they style quibbliDg, is of very
recent origin. How many years ago was 1t
that these very gentlemen who are now so
muca shocked at quibbling did their best to
reverse the complexion of a legislature by
quibbling? These gentlemen are now do
nouncing the courts for too great partialitv
TO technicalities; few years ago thew were
much more bitterly denouncing them
because they looked upon such things with
too little favor. 1t appeared to them at that
time that failure to cross or dot an was
fatal defect sufficient to invaldate the
election of a member of the legislature. The
governor and council threw out a represen-
tative fairly elected because In making nm
the returns an election clerk used ditto
marks instead of repeating the figures.
The Democrats applauded and were very
angry with the court because that BODY re-
fused to sustain the action of the governor.
Just now the Democracy are very sweet on
aliens. But few years since they all sup
ported the council in throwing out repre-
sentative because one Of the selectmen of his
town was an alien. These gentlemen who
are now so shocked at anything that looks
like quibbling should glance back over their
own records.

this district for a struggle to defeat Speaker
Reed. 1t is practically admitted that there
Is not enough of 1t to beat him at the polls,
but the game is to hunt up technicalities on
which to impeach the votes of enough Re-
publican towns and cities to overcome his
majority by throwing them out. The Demo-
Gratis thok that if the next House is d. m
ocratic the majority will be exceedinglyglad to
get rid ( so powerful leader of the minority
as Mr.. Reed will be and. therefore, will be ca
ger to take advantage of any technically
however slight, to do it. Probably they are
right. 1t was doubtless intended to pro-
coed with the scheme quietly so as
not to put Republicans on their guard; but
the Biddeford Democracy were so tickled
over the discovery OF seeming irregularity
in Saco that they could no longer contain
themselves, and blurted the scheme right
cut.
Being duly warned of what the Democrats
are up to, the Republicans will have no trou-
BILE in defeating them if they do their duty
on election day. The full Republican vote
in this district will give Mr.. Reed so large q
majority that Democratic House, no mat
Ter now eager to do so, will not be able
10 count him out Two years ago the
Republican majority in Saco and the Repub-
lican majority in Kttery, town which the
Democrats have their eyes on as one which
they may find pretext to throw out, might
have been ignored and still Mr.. Reed would
have had substantial plurality. Give him
the same majority this year and the mach
nations of Democratic House will be of no
avail to count him out. 1t is easy enough
TO give him that majority or more If all the
Republicans turn out. Let every Republic
can bear in mind that to ensure to their
party In the next House. If it happens to be
In the minority, the brilliant leadership of
Mr. Reed big majority may be necessary.
Republicans all over the country ARE watch
ing the contest in this district. They are re-
lying on the Republicans of York and Cum
berland counties to furnish them a leader in
the next Congress. Failure on their part
would inflict grievous blow upon the Re-
publican party of the nation.

CURRENT COM MENT.
TIE CRITICAL SECOND CONGRESS.
st. Louis Globe-Democrat.

ot. LOUIS OlODe-Dem0crat.
We trust that Republicans throughout the
knowledge that this is critical period in the
history OF the party. 1t Is fact well known
to observers Of American political phenome-
ma that the party In power always encount-
ers formidable obstacles in the canvass for
Congress occurring in the middle of an Ad-
miDistratiOn. The party which wins the
Presidency generally carries the House of
Representatives chosen at the same time.
There are exceptions, OF course, to this order
of things, as in 1876 when a Republican
President and Democratic House were
elected together. Generally, though. the
opposite is the case. But in the second
Congress the President is not so favorably
treated. He Is not always confronted with
hostile House during the latter half of his
term, but he usually meets one which is not
SO tractapie as tnat which comes into power
with him. Ii Is the rule. that is to say, for
the party which controls the executive
branch OF the government to meet with re-
verse In the Congressional election occurring
IN the middle OF the Presidential term, al
though, when its majority has been large,
Its preponderance.
The reasons, OF course, for this change NAV
readily be pointed our. An Administrator

short OF the expectations of thousands of the
men VINO assisted to create it. These ex.
reasonable and absurd, but the effect on
those entertaining them is to lessen their
party earnestness and enthusiasm, If not to
disturb their party loyalty. Other causes,
such as dissatisfaction with the way the
spells OF office have been distributed and
overconfdence In the potency of the organi.
cation, diminish the party zeal and handi-
caps 1t In the canvass. I'm cases where the
margin is so narrow as that held by the Re-
publicans In the present House the Situation
is especially critical A reverse in our case
would change the partisan complexion Of the
Housr and put the Democrats In control of
that body. These are the conditions which
confront the Republicans at this moment.
The record OF the party during the first ses-
slol OF Congress has been made, and that
OF the Administration for more than third
OF its term is before the county. On this
record rec whether favorable or the opposite,
plain and imperative duty. therefore, of the
party In this exigency is to nominate its best
and most popular men in every Congressional
District and to bring every Republican voter
to the polls.

The st. Louis Globe Democrat cannot un
derstand why the demand of the Farmers
Alliance of Kansas. that freight cars shall be
equipped with safety couplers and air brakes,
will ameliorate the conditions of mortgage
indebtedness or relieve the depression of
agriculture. 1t may do neither but it shows
that the farmers have due regard to the i'm
portance to their concerns. of railroads, and
are anxious to make a railway freight train
hands life as easy as possible.

The Brooklyn Standard Union refers to
Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes as the "Aristo-
crat." While it is true that the genial gem
tleman has publicly confessed to liking for

would relish the new title. Autocrat of his
particular spot in the field of letters he may
be, but the nature of that very spot makes it
impossible for him to be an aristocrat.

the impression that mos: of the municinaI

matter OF fact very few of them have. The
Portland court has not naturalized a single
voter, nor. we think, has the Bangor court
Inc Lewiston court and the Biddeford court
are the only ones that have naturalized any
considerable number of persons. We doubt
II any other municipal court has natufalized
one. Now the Lewiston court can legally
naturalize because it has clerk created

has not, hence naturalization papers issued
by 1t are illegal. Outside of York county
there are very few persons In Maine holding
