CURRENT COMMENT.
THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE.
[From the Portland Advertiser.]

The outcome of the Republican may
orally convention is welcome surprise.
Hon. James P. Baxter needs no introduce
ton to Portland people. He has lived
among them and has been known of
them for many years. They know him as
a successful business man, scholar and
gentleman; as one particularly identi-
fed with local interests and actively en-
gagged in their advancement; as the studi-
Gus deliver in the mines of Maine his
tory, whence he has brought many gem
and much rich ore; as the true public
benefactor, who chooses to execute his
own will and gives out Of hand instead
of selfshly enjoying all until death
brings the pocketless shroud. Through
Mr.. Baxter's munifcence every citizen Of
Portland is enabled to enjoy the benefits
of free public library, housed in a
building which, in all its appointments,
is second to none of its class in any city
Baxter's most conspicuous public SER
vice, but it is far from being the whole
of such service on his part. He has done
much to stimulate an interest in
the history of Maine, to rescue
portions OF that history from obliv-
ion and preserve it from loss.
He was the prime mover Of the Gorges
Society. He has written valuable his
torical papers, including the biography of
Portland's first settler. He has spent
time, money and labor in research in for
eign libraries. and has brought from
abroad to Maine rich collection of early
maps and unpublished manuscripts re-
iating to the history of this State. Mr..
Baxter is in the prime of life. He has
held no political office, we believe, and
no Office except the presidency of the
Maine Historical Society. He is conser-
vative and high-minded. and if elected
mayor he would come to the office with
an eye single to the best civic interests
and would administer it on business prin-
ciples.

A careful count of the voters in the
proposed Gallagher wards show very
wide discrepancies from the figures
which were officially announced at the
meeting of the city council which
adopted the gerrymander. The men
who did the counting for Alderman
Gallagher must have been imported from
some Of the southern states and been
acquainted with Democratic methods
there. With this demonstration of the
numerical inequality of the new wards
disappears even the semblance of fair
ness
The Portland daily press., 1893-02-24

The Argus knows perfectly well that
the police department has been a polit-
ical machine ever since the city
marshal began his campaign for the
sheriff's office. 1t knows perfectly well
that its power was brought to bear
through the medium Of the blue ticket
to beat down Mr.. Tolman and Mr..
Somers, the city marshals rivals for the
nomination. 1t knows also perfectly
well that subsequently it was paralyzed
so far as the prosecution of certain
class of law breakers was concerned. Tt
knows also that the city marshal spent
many days in working up his boom for
sheriff which he should have given to
the conduct of the office for which he
was receiving pay from the city. 1t
knows also that the amount of witness
fees received by the city treasury this
year is about quarter as large as year
ago, though the number of arrests was
substantially the same, showing that
large percentage of the men arrested
were discharged in violation of law. 1t
knows also that within week notcri :
Gus tough arrested for assault and battery
on public street has been liberated
without any attempt to prosecute him.
Yet in spite of these facts which it knows
perfectly well, and many other facts of
similar character, it has the assurance to
say that the police department has been
well managed during the past year.
What does the Argus mean by well man.
aged? Does it mean that as long as the
police department is so managed as to
keep all the toughs and hoodlums in the
community enthusiastic for the nomina-
ton and reelection of Darius III. Ingra-
ham and the reappointment of City Mar
shall SWEET and Deputy Marshal Chase
it is well managed?
The Portland daily press., 1893-02-24

1t would be good thing for the vari-
GUS editors of the Argus to get together
and agree on the particular story to be
fired off. 1t is rather confusing to the
reader to take up the paper and find, as
was the case yesterday morning, on one
page this:
But to speak more seriously it goes without
the saying that Mr.. Baxter has been persuaded
10 take a nomination that he does not really
want to take.
while On another is this:
1t is well understood that he Mr.. Baxterl
has had an itching to be chief magistrate OF our
fair city for some time past.
The truth of the case is in the first
paragraph. Mr.. Baxter accepted the
nomination reluctantly, and only at the
earnest solicitation of the Republicans of
this city. aa
