Tho Receding Democratic Tide.

A survey of the whole situation, in
Guiding the December elections in
Portland and Westbrook, leaves
Names city Democracy outside of
Portland and Waterville in practically
the condition in which it has been dur
ing the past two years. In these two
cities it has suffered severe. although
it is to be hoped, a temporary, setback.
-Watervillc Sentinel.
Isn't that desperate attempt to get
sunshine out of cucumbers? Four OF
the cities which held elections Monday
Passport. Ellsworth. Hallowell and
South Portland-were carried hand
somely ny the Republicans after being
under Democratic control for the MAST
year. One city, Rockland, was won
back by the Democrats. In Waterville a
Republican majority of nine votes last
year became majority of $50 this year
and five Of the seven wards were car
ried. In Auburn the Republican
majority was largely increased and
in Lewiston the Democratic majority
was largely reduced. These are the
facts, and how do they bear out the
Sentincrs comfortable assertion that
the Democracy in Maine cities. out
side Of Portland and Waterville where
it has been buried out OF sight, is hold
ing its own?
OF the IL cities that have thus far
held elections this year nine vera car
rieI last year by the Democrats and
four by the Republicans. This year
eight of them are carried by the Re-
publicans and five b. the Democrats.
Is the city Democracy of Maine holding
its own On that showing" And even in
this computation Saco. which was car
ried by Citizens ticket, and Bath,
where the Democratic mayor had no
opposition and where six Of the seven
aldermen are Republican. are classed
among the five cities carried by the
Democrats. Both will be surely Re-
publican IN september.
This is q Republican year
i'll the cities of Maine as well
as in its country districts. The
Republicans OF our Maine cities
are closing up the ranks and pre-
senting united front to the enemy.
They realize that the city elections are
of more than local significance and
importance this year, for gubernatorial
and presidential elections are to be held
a few months later The Maine
Democracy has put up a big bluff and
made d lot of noise, but it's bluff has
been called and its brave war whoop
is fading away into lespairing and
dying squawk.

The Argus Sits Among the Ruins.
(Biddeford Journal.)

Ever since the City Hall fire. the
Portland Argus has been running a
department under the heading Among
the Ruins" The only matter under
this head in today's Argus is the fol-
lowing paragraph:
"Supt. w. H. Brownson of the Port
land schools returned Saturday from
Washington where he has been in al
tendance at the convention of the
Departments of superintendent of the
National Education Association at
which there were 1000 delegates from
different parts of the country
As this item could just-as well have
appeared under the head of "Society
News" or odds and Ends or Per
sonals," or Things We See When We
Don't Have a Gun" it is assumed that
the heading first referred to might we'll
give way to one more cheerful and gem
orally hopeful. There are already too
many people in this world who persist
in sitting among the ruins.

so there is doubtless lot more to be

lation OF the letter and the spirit of the
law. and in violation Of every princi-
pal of sound municipal government.
The items, it will be observed. are for

Mr.. Skehan is an expert machinist it
is tc be presumed that the work was
done in his line of business. though

on tie Democratic machine. and
some of the labor performed
is an open secret that they include a
large amount of automobile hire. In
the recent municipal election in Bos-
ton the automobile scandal of the Dem

city over to Republican mayor. Evil

Road Construction Under Democratic
Rule.

Sheriif-Mayor Plaisted in his exuber-
ant address accepting the third nomi-
nation for the mayor of Augusta COM
pared the rOadWays constructed dur
ing the last two years with the work
done on Grove and State streets many
years ago. We think that the Mayor
was somewhat modest in this COMPARE
son. Why did he not go back to the
colonial period or to the days of
Rameses II? Grove street was the first
piece Of Telford road built In the city
Of Augusta. 1t was done some II or
IS years ago when the writer was
living on that street and had opportu-
That was nearly two decades ago and
methods Of doing road work have
changed materially since then. In those
days the kennebec Journal was four
page paper and the whole of it was
set up by hand. Today it is a 70 or r.
page paper and all of it is set by ma
cfinery. When Grove street. which
has been one of the worst pieces of
roadway in the city, being very near
perpetual quasmire. was laid down
in rock. methods were entirely different
from what they are today. Our road
commissioners. following the instruc-
tions Of the best authorities they could
get, put this roadway down by hand.
The excavation also was expensive. In
those days nobody dreamed that work
of this character could be done success
fully in any other way. The same
was true Of State street which was
done few years later. Afterwards
the Republican street commissioner
demonstrated by beautiful piece of
roadway on Western Avenue. which
stands today, that this sort Of work
could be done successfully without en-
ploying hand methods. 1t may sur
prise some of our readers to find out
that Mayor Plaisted's administration
| was not the discoverer of this fact, as
| he has led the public to suppose. Old
| hand methods had not been used by
any administration in the city of Au-
gusta for many years prior to the
Sheriff Mayors advent into office Not
only had successful road been built by
present-day methods on Western ave-
nue. and on Bangor street but those
methods had also been employed to q
greater or less extent in other sections
of the city. Sheriff Mayor Plaisted
says that his administration has been
able to build this road at cost sone-
