Portland Pres,

An interesting object lesson of the method
Of the Democratic Campaign in this State is
furnished by the Argus's neglect to publish
the letter of Secretary of State Fessendeu.
The Argus copied few days ago from the
Boston Globe a letter from the Augusta cor
respondent of the latter paper charging Mr..
Fessenden with deliberately perpetrating in
his capacity of secretary of state Il most
outrageous fraud upon the voters of the
State. Saturday Mr.. Fessenden published
a reply showing conelusively that these
charges were false. The Argus pays no
attention TO il, hut suffers the Globes lies
TO 90 uncontraiictet SO far rs its columns
are concerned
