While powder and patches are among the
ordinary toilet necessaries, tooth brushes are
new and costly luxuries.
AS late as in 1919, says the History of the

Ralph to inquire for him in Paris for the

ness. On the one hand he carefully
avoided wounding the feelings of the
Ward One potentate and on the other ne
twined himself around Brother lngra-
ham in loving embrace. How beauti-
fully he apostrophized local self govern
ment and the rights of the people, not
withstanding he had been appealing the
night before to foreign bosses to put him
in possession of the dictatorship plum.
How adroitly he gathered in the Democ-
racy of Biddeford by his allusion to
the hourishing city which the legislature
had deprived of the right of regulating
its own police force.
Mr.. Clifford was heard to remark yes
terday that the weather was chilly. Mr..
Franks opinion was that it was very
pleasant. Tom Harper said all the
Democratic statesmen were at his feet.

of it and no attempt to deny it or even to
apologize for it. The Argus acknowl-
edged it frankly and called for the pun
ishment of the guilty parties. Mr.. In
graham acknowledged it and declared
that he would have no more to do with
the dirty mess.'' Mr.. Guptill acknowl-
edged it by returning his certificate and
declaring that his "self res ect' would
not permit him to take his seat. Mr..
Simpson acknowledged it and so did
Mr.. Tibbetts. Then there came a
change. 1t began to be intimated in the
Argus that perhaps Mr. Harper merely
made mistake, and great Indignation
began to be expressed against City Clerk
Russell, first because he did not expose
the fraud sooner, and then because he
exposed it at all. Then as courage
came back the Argus became bolder and
offered to wager it's reputation that Har
per would never be convicted. Then
Mr. Guptill under pressure began to
think that perhaps after all he might
ing his self respect, and Messrs. Tib-
belts and Simpson grew to be of the
same opinion. Gradually MI. Ingraham
began to look with more tolerance on
the fraud, and finally he announced
himself as ''ready for the fight"
And then the representative Demo-
Gratis screwed their courage up to the
point where in convention assembled
they could point with pride and could
commend Mr.. Ingraham to the people for
having refused to accept his certificate
while there was a doubt about his title
though when he refused it it was admitted
on every hand that there was no doubt
about it at all--it was acknowledged to
be fraudulent. And lastly Mr.. E. c.
Jordan gathered courage enough to re-
buke the Republican papers for having
denounced the fraud and the aiders and
abettors in it. Three weeks ago every
decent Democratic leader was sitting in
grace that had been inflicted upon his
party. To-day every one of them is
pointing with pride-a pride which we
do not believe any of them really feel
but which they think they must assume
in order to brace up the rank and file for
fear that slump on election day may
ALLEVIATE the affections of the syndicate
that is distributing the federal patronage
in this vicinity.

THE PRESS.
FRIDAY, APRIL 2.
SECOND ELECTION, APRIL NTH.
FOR MAYOR,
JAMES p. BAXTER

The Argus informs us that tbs liquor
agency under Mayor Ingraham has been
conducted just as it was under Republi-
can administrations. If that is so it is
difficult to..understand why Mr.. Ingraham
regards it as so important that he should
be elected in order to manage it. In the
Mayors recent letter to his fellow citi-
zens all questions of public administra-
ton paled into insignificance beside this
question of the management of the
liquor agency. For the proper conduct Of
that it was absolutely indispensable he
told us to have Democratic mayor. As
Stunning that management of the past
year has been proper management
we quite agree with him, and we think
the Argus has done him an injustice in
saying that that management was the
same as under Republican administra-
ton and therefore not requiring Demo-
cratic mayor.
The Portland daily press., 1893-04-07

If the miscount in Ward was simply
the result of laundering, and was not
tainted with fraud, if Warden Harper
was alone concerned in it, why has it not
been made to appear? An opportunity
was given when Harper was arraigned in
court for him to deny under oath that
he was guilty of fraud and to acquit any
body else of all responsibility. Yet act
ing under the advice of the Hon. William
"a. Clifford, who must have noticed the
value of such denial to the Democratic
party as well as to Mr.. Harper, he de-
clined to take the stand, waived an ex-
animation and deprived himself of OPP
portunity to explain until next May
when election will be over. Was this
the conduct of man conscious of in
nocence? Was Mr.. Clifford's advice the
advice of man conscious that if his eli
emit should speak, he would acquit the
Democratic party from all completely in
the miscount?
