Counting the Votes Again.

1t is understood that the second
counting of the ballots in the Kennc-
bee county cities and towns, which is
now being carried on in the presence
If the interested parties is not a re
count in the strict sense of the term.
1t is rather an inspection or examina-
ton. The returns of the various city
clerks and town clerks. as sent in to
the office Of the secretary Of State. will
be the basis upon which the certificates
of election will be issued by the CO..
pears on the face of these returns that
Mr. Reardon of Oakland is elected SEN
ator by a small margin. a certificate
of election will be given to him, and he
viii take his seat, even though this
later inspection OF the ballots makes
it certain that Nj. Heselton of Gardi-
ner was elected over him.
Each branch OF the Legislature is
the judge Of the election of its own
members. however. and upon the evil
dence being presented to it that the
first returns We're not accurate. this
body will order an official recount Of
the ballots. This will bring to light
the gain of 26 votes for Mr.. Heseltcn
over Mr.. Reardon in Waterville, as
shown by the informal inspection of
the ballots by the candidates last Sat
| urday and Mr.. Reardon will promptly
| he unseated and Mr.. Heselton seated
| in his stead. This will be mere
| formality in order to comply with the
| don, SO it is understood, readily grants
| that the first count in Waterville was
| incorrect and thai his opponent has %
| votes more than he was credited with.
1t is possible of course, that in go
| ing over the ballots in the various
towns further changes will be made
here and there, but it appears now that
| all three Republican senators are safe
/ ly reelected. though certificate of
| election will he granted Mr.. Reardon,
Democrat, who will hold his seat d
brief period until an official recount OF
| the votes Is made.
The procedure in the case Of county
| officers is different than in the case OF
| members of the Legislature. If it APP
pears from the Informal inspection of
the ballots, which is now being made,
| that the returns Of the clerks are in
correct and that a recount will change
| the result. the interested candidate will
petition the court that such recount
be made. This is something with
| which the Legislature has nothing to
| do. as 1t has in the case of its own
| members, but is a matter for judicial
proceedings. 1t is unfortunate that the
| vote should have been so ciose in the
| county as to leave doubt in the ease
| of some of the offices, but the spirit IF
| fairness and cooperation which is be-
| ing shown makes it certain that the
| matter will be Strengthened out as il
| should bc. and that those who received
| Il plurality of votes in every instance
will have justice shown them.

The Recount in Waterville.

Several times since the State cleo

paper, the Watervillc Sentinel, or
otherwise, has announced with more
or less warmth and emphasis that the
election results would be thoroughly
Investigated" We shall go back to

sounded the slogan OF back to the

both as regards the gubernational vote
and the political control of the
Legislature and it was mystoriously
limited that there was Republican
fraud" going on and that the wicked
Republicans were undoubtedly trying
to steal things. -,3 }
Well here in Kcnncbec. where the
vote for county officers was very close.
the ballots are being examined and
recountcd by the interested parties, as
they have IA right under the law. In
Augusta nothing was discovered to
change the result. There were two or
three voters gained or lost by this
candidate or that. the; only material
gain being by the Republican iegisIa-
tive candidates whom the recount
shows to have been beaten by an even
more narrow margin than was at first
announced. But how was it i'm Water
VILE. the home of Candidate Davis and
the Watervlle Sentinel whose anxiety
to have things investigated that
Republican fraud" might be exposed
was SO freely expressed? Well. in
Democratic Watcrvillc a mistake in
the count has been found which gives
) the Republican candidates for senator
&c more votes each than they were
first credited with. while each Demo-
cratic candidate fof; senator suffers Il
loss. This change iSwill doubtless re-

practically all made in counting
the votes in one ward. 1t is
easy to understands how such a mis-
take could happen,in the hurry. and
confusion of the work. Coming at the
close of busy and exciting day. The
Journal does not in the least question
the honest intent of the Democratic
ward officials in Watcrvillc who made
this blundcr. We hope nobody will
question their integrity. But it is an
Interesting incident that the only
material change In the Kenncbec vote
comes from the discovery of a mistake
by Democratic ward officials in the

the Sentinel has been shouting for an
investigation that Mould show the

Shall We All Die of THIRSTY

After telling of the gradual drying
up of the great lakes and rivers all
over the world in an article in Cham
bers' Journal, J. T. Whitby continues:
Everywhere in our own country, as
in others, water springs are giving out
and water beds drying up, slowly per-
haps, but surely. The increase Of pop
ulation and the modern system Of
drainage have of course great deal
to answer for, but much of the drought
is undoubtedly caused by the rapid
destruction of timber on all sides, for
trees not only attract rain clouds, but
preserve the moisture of the soil. While
it is impossible for puny man to con-
troll the geological period through
which we are passing and whose char
acteristics would be, according to
some, the gradual disappearance of
water, it may be inquired whether it
would not be advisable to postpone
that disa agreeable moment of a world
without water as far as possible by the
better preservation of our woods and
forests and the persistent replanting
of trees"
