left 10 aid its burden OF interest for
another . years.
At thu beginning Of the municipal
year, atstyor Noyes in his inaugural
address made some statements which
are of especial interest just now, un-
der the head Of
Appropriations.
The matter of appropriations
needs onr most serious thought
and study.
4 believe in making appropria-s
tons that will allow the different
departments to carry on their
work fer the best interests OF the
city When the amount to be eN-
pended in the several departments
has been decided upon. l shall in
sist upon keeping within the APP
populations
In view of these statements il is al
so Of interest to read the city audi
tors report showing the appropriation
and expenditure Of each department
for II months, ending Feb. /, 1872
In the highway department. ct the
eastern district, the appropriation was
$4,000 and the mayor had signed his
warrants fer am expendlture Of
$93Sf.11.
In the highways, western district
the appropriation was for $4,000 while
the expenditure has already reached
the sum of $l$,02113.
Overdrafts are evident in these TWO
departments of over $1,000!
It appears that the mayor must
have changed his mind or forgotten
to insist.
The extent of these reckless over
drafts is indicated in part by the tenn
porary loan of $4,000 already author
ized and by the fact that before the
bills are all paid at least $4,000 more
will be needed a total shortage of at
least $4,000, which must be added
to next years taxes. No charge of
dishonesty is made, no evidence Of
graft appears, but the inference is
irresistible that the administration
which has been busy with political in
trigue and the distribution Of patron
age has neglected the business of the
city with disastrous results.

Portland Wins from
The Cony Alumni.

An 6 aggregation of basketball play
ers, representing Portland, came to
this city and trimmed the Cony High
school Alumni team to the tune of p
to l. in a rough. but fast and very in
tercsting game OF basketball, Thursday
evening, at the Select Roller rink. The
game was fun of brilliant passing and
shooting, and in both the Portland
boys mad a little on our home team. A
large crowd was present. and it APP
plauded both teams freely, through
out the game.
TIE game had been started only
about two minutes when time was
called by Referee Cooper in order 10
give Dow and Smith OF the Alumni
team q chance to change their jerseys,

which the Portland boys Wore. Tie
manager of the Portland team made
objections because his boys were pass
ing the bah to the Augusta boys.
thinking that they We're members OF
their own team on account of the color
of the jerseys.
Stuart, captain of the Cony team,
obtained the first two goals of the
game by pretty shooting, one Of them
being from a~foul and the other from
the floor Stuart's goals We're followed
a second or two after by long shot
for a basket, made by Stockman of
the Portland team. From this tipe TO
the enc OF the first period, Cony man
would get a basket and then Port
land man, and at the end of the period
the score was to in favor of the
toWn-Sta team When the pistol
sounded for this period to end. both
teams were playing very hard, each
man trying his best to obtain bas-
ket.
The Cony boys started off with
rush in the second period, stuart
shooting a goal from foul and tieing
the score, before the game had been
in progress hardly a second. The Cony
boys kept piling their scores up ana
at one time they had the portland
bows; by a score of Is to 9. Then the
Cony boys tok a slump, and the Port
land players again began to increase
their score. With only about three
minutes to play, and the score tied,
the Portland boys showed a fine burst
OF speed, and by excellent shooting
Stockman obtained two baskets IN
quick succession, and placed the game
on ice for his team.
Much credit should be given to Capt
Stuart of the Cony team for the hne
covering and shooting, which he dld

never was a time when the result of
a municipal election had more far

have l doubt if ever in
the history of the State there has
been caucus like that held in this

Governor, the Chief Executive OF
Maine, urged you to east your votes
for the Democratic ticket because a
vote for Mayor Noyes meant vote
for him. Now it may not be undigni-
fled for the Governor of the State to
appear before a caucus like that but it
certainly is open to question his ae-
ton in attempting to do what he did
to go there and attempt to influence
the voters of independent citizens. 1t
appears that in the straits in which it
has found itself Democracy has at
| last been forced to throw aside the
mask and has come out for Democracy

makes men do what with better coun-
sci would have been averted. 1t is
