We have heard various reports, and
hints thrown out that disclosures were to
be made in regard to State expenditure
that would be very damaging to Govern
or Burleigh and practically close his
career as IA candidate for congress. To
this end irresponsible parties are circu-
lating canards by the word of mouth al
leging great extravaganza in the amount
of printing ordered and in postage used
by the executive department. The facts
are that all these bills for printing and
for postage are seyerally audited by the
executive council and the governor of
Maine cannot draw Il dollar from the
treasury for any purpose until the coulI-
I'll have passed upon the account and
authorized warrant to he drawn upon
the Treasurer of State. Furthermore the
printers bills are audited by an expert
printer. stephen Berry of Port land, who
examines one copy of every job done by
The State printers and makes the price
charged fit the contract price in every
particular. -Nlt'T nearly louf years VI
