MAINE EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Republican Management.
belfast JOurnal.)

a recently published interview with
Hon. William r. Haines Of Watcrville
which we would gladly have pub
lished in full had not other demands
upon our columns prevented-gives
conclusive facts and figures to dis
prove the charges by Democrats and
dema gogucS as to extravaganza in
State expenditures. He shows where
the money goeS-for educational pur-
poses and other public utilities-;tnd
makes good the claim that Maine I'M
der Republican rule for the last forty
year: has had one of the cleaneSt and
most economical and democratic State
governments in the Union. OF the
s2O.S7. which is the average amount
paid on a thousand dollars to our tax
collectors, only $3.50 is expended for
State purposes. and the greater part of
this goes back to the towns, directly
or indirectly, in the way of school
money; and our State expenditures are
more than paid by the tax on corpor-
atoms and other Inoneyed interests.
Since this interview appeared the
State auditor has made the gratifying
statement that of the appropriations
made nv the last legislature the sum
of sos. 1886 remains untouched. and
has been turned back into the State
treasury. So much for Republican
management.

The Waterville Sentinel is mad The

lative printing to the actual work, with
the discovery that if accepted, this
work would cost the State over
$1,000 more than was paid Burleigh

session. Having made this discovery
the Governor and Council promptly re-

The Australian Ballot.

The Sentinel claims to have been
the lowest bidder on the Australian
ballot, but this statement is not true.
There was an apparent difference of
$219 in favor Of the Waterville Sentinel
on the face of the bids; but it was
only apparent. So far as the actual
cost to the State Of doing this work
was concerned the Journals bid on this
work was lower. when We take into
consideration the fact that the Sentinel
plant is 90 miles distant from the
secretary of States office, and that if
the work were done by the Sentinel
the secretary of State must establish a
branch office at Waterville for four or
five weeks. No fair minded man would
contend that the secretary of State
should be required to get so important
a matter of printing as the Australian
ballots done in Waterville, when his
when the time allowed by law is too
short for this work, even when done in
Augusta.
But there were stronger reasons for
awarding the printing to Burleigh
& F1ynt than the matter of expense.
The limit Of time requires the back
ings to be printed in advance. If a fire
should occur and destroy these sheets
at an advance stage of this work it
would necessitate the postpOnement Of
the entire election. The possibility of
such disaster and the seriousness of
it's consequences induced Burleigh
Flynt to construct a fire-proof vault
in their press room 80 feet long by
feet deep and IA feet high, in which all
the sheets could be placed as fast as
printed on the first side, thus making
it impossible for fire to prevent the
completion Of the ballots within the
time required. The insurance of de-
livery of the ballots on time in spite of
any possibility Of fire is alone worth
more to the State than the $219 differ
ence in the two bids.
The law, to guard against all pos
sible contingencies, requires that the
ballots be printed in duplicate sets. and
each set be forwarded to its destina-
ton, SO far as practicable, by separate
routes, and at different times. 1t would
strike the average citizen as a sur
prising thing if the State which is will
ing to go to double expense to protect
the ballots in this direction would not
be willing to pay something for spe-
cially provided safeguard against the
destruction of both sets of ballots hy
