We have been rather at a loss to account for
the non-election of the Democratic candidate
for Mayor in Bangor at the recent election IN
that city But an editorial in yesterdays PRESS
makes the situationplain. 1t seems from this
editorial that there was great number OF men
o Ba ay Ts shows HAL n OF Of the Re-
publican corruption fund was expended IN a
fiqrid form. This was a shrewd move on the
part Of the Reputbcans fof the more rum SS Tn
to vote the Republican ticket. The PRESS goes
on to make this point more apparent by con
trastng the result OF the election in Bangor with
that in Portland. Here the Democrats SWepG
the city, and as the PRESS remarks, 1.-The streets
were quiet and orderly, there were few arrests
for drunkenness or anything else. Argus.
This is a fine example of the way in
which the Argus slips away from ques-
ton when it does not want to meet it,
Father insolvency, a Catholic priest of
Bangor, in sermon to his parishioners
last Sunday, declared that there was
more drunkenness visible on the streets
of Bangor on election day than in the city
of Boston with its 100000 inhabitants
'sScores of men, he said, ''could be seen
maudlin drunk Keeling about the streets"
The PRESS published some extracts from
this sermon and pointed out that the
facts therein stated were entirely at vari-
ance with the theory of the Argus that
in places where there were open bars and
it was easy to get a drink there was little
drunkenness as compared with places
where people had to send abroad for
their liquor or sneak into low rum shops
in dark alleyways; and to emphasize
the point we contrasted the scenes
reported by Father McSweeney, in
Bangor where saloons are plenty and at
tractive, with the good order which was
preserved on election day in this city where
the saloons are few and repulsive in APP
pearance. The Argus's reply to this
is the extract quoted above. 1t is COM
plete evasion of the question at issue,
and is beneath notice.

One of the worst of the gerrymander-
ing schemes INDUCED in by the Demo-
Gratis after their triumph in 1890 was the
apportionment of Wisconsin for State
senators and representatives. The con-
stitution of the State requires that as
sembly districts shall be bounded by
county lines, but this requirement. was
entirely ignored and counties cut up in
all sorts of ways. But one idea pos
sessed the legislature, and that was to SO
cut up the State that the legislature
would remain Democratic, even if the
Republicans carried the State by an over
whelming majority, and every other con-
sideration was thrown to the winds.
The unfairness of the apportionment was
obvious to everybody, and now the Su-
preme Court, majority of the judges of
which are Democrats, has decided unan-
imously that it was as illegal and unfair.
1t would seem to be necessary
now to reconvene the legislature and
make new apporhonment

Four-fifths of the members of the New
York Bar Association which has just
condemned Judge Maynard's conduct in
removing the true return from Duchess
county from the Secretary of States Of
fee. and demanded his removal by the
legislature, are Democrats. Maynard
cannot claim, therefore, that he is the
victim of partisan malice. He has been
tried by jury of the foremost lawyers
of New York, the great majority of
whom belong to his own party, and
found guilty of conduct which entirely
units him for the position of judge and
makes his continuance in that Office an
insult to the decent people of New York.
If he is possessed of any sense of de-
cency whatever he will not wait for the
legislature to act, but will step down and
out voluntarily. His conduct, however,
relative to the Duchess county
return and his subsequent defence
of it raise strong presumption
that his moral perceptions are
pretty dull, so nobody probably will be
much surprised if he continues to stick
to his office and brazen it out. OF course
Hill will stand by him for he is tarred
with the same stick, and as the Demo

cratic majority in the Legislature owes its
existence to the act for which he has been
condemned by the Bar Association it is
not likely that he has anything to fear
from that quarter. In about a year,
however, the people will have a chance
to get at him and then he is likely to get
his deserts.

FRIDAY, MARCH IS.

The Belfast Age declares squarely
against Hill as the Democratic candidate
for the Presidency. 1t says the party
does not want him and that all the senti-
ment in his favor is worked up by
small clique. The Age is fit subject
for rebuke by the Bangor Commercial.
