CATARRH I S/THE MOST PREVALENT
of any known disease. It is insidious and gen
erally pronounced to be incurable. SWAL
LOWING, WHILE ASLEEP, the viscid se
cretions of catarrhal colds, POISONS THE
LUNGS and from thence undermines every
function of the system. The sense of taste,
smell and hearing are impaired, the BREATH
BECOMES DISGUSTING, and breathing
through the nostrils is rendered impossible.
SCROFULA, DEAFNESS, Bronchitis, Pol
ypuses and Consumption are the natural legal
cies. SPURTS OF PUTRID MUCOUS up
on the tonsils or from the nostrils, crackling in
the head, pains at the side, of the nose or over
the eyes and pressure within the chest, are ex
perienced when neither THE CAUSE NOR
THE FEARFUL CONSEQUENCES are
dreamed of. The discovery of A REAL
CURE for Catarrh and Hay Fever by Dr. Wei
De Meyer of New York, is second in import
ance only to the discovery of a preventative of
small-pox. The facts and proofs of the work
being dono by WEI DE MEYER’S CA
TARRH CURE are set forth in a pamphlet,
which is forwarded gratis to any address. The
testimonials therein contained aro unquestion
ably the MOST REMARKABLE upon medi

I year’s standing, as well as new* cases, yield to
the treatment. ONE PACKAGE will cure
I any ordinary case of Catarrh or Hay Fever

TRIE PRESS.
SATURDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 27.
Evekv regular attach^ of the Pres* is furnished
with a Card certificate signed by Stanley T. Pullen,
Editor. All railway, steamboat and hote managers
will confer a favor upon us by demanding credentials
of every person claiming to represent our journal.
We do not read anonymous letters and communi
cations. The name and address of the writer are in
all cases indispensable, not necessarily for publica
tion but as a guaranty of good faith.
We cannot undertake to return or preserve com
munications tnat arc uot used.
The Great Crime.
We believe no one denies that Gov. Gar
celon had the power and the right to give
certificates of election to those whom the
people had chosen by a free, fair and honest
ballot. We venture to say that there was
never in this or any other State a more free
and honest election than that of this year in
Maine, and the results of it were not doubt
ful, hut were marked and decisive in all our
borders. Gov. Garcelon cannot deny that
lie had the right and power to give full force
and effect to this expression of the people’s
will.
Let us c for a moment that Gov.
Garcelon is an honest, honorable and intelli
gent man, and not a rogue nor a cheat.
Here he is in his chair surrounded by his
Council, and the return from Portland is
opened. A clerical error is found in it, but
it is not of the smallest importance in any
way. No one has been harmed by it; no
man has lost by it an opportunity to vote;
no wrung or uaruauip wuaiovci uos wcu
inflicted by it on anyone in the smallest pos
sible degree. But wide-mouthed, swearing
Councillor Fogg says with an—expletive:
Yes, but we have the power to throw that
out because of that error.” Gov. Garcelon
interposes aud says: “Yes, that’s true, we
have the power to do that, in the same way
that a pilot entrusted with the care and
management of a ship, has the power to run
her upon the rocks instead of taking her
safely into port. The constitution and the
laws relating to elections and the returning
of Iheir results are intended to secure the
people against frauds in the count, so as to
render the verdict of the people sure, and to
carry it into effect. There i-, to be sure, a
clerical error in this return from Portland,
but it is precisely such as has occurred a
hundred times before in many other returns,
and has never been held to invalidate or
harm them. During all the seventy years of
our State’s history there has probably not
been one in which this same error has not
been found in thegeturns of city or town
elections, and no one of them has ever been
rejected on account of it. What we should
inquire into, is the intent of the people of
Portland. What have they really done at
this election? Is there any mistake or room
for doubt on that point? Xo one pretends
that there is. The results of the election
arc so marked- and decided that there is no
possible room for doubt about i‘. Is there
reason to suppose that the election was not
fair aud honest? Xo one even suggests that.
Xow Councillor Chase proposesto disfranchise
the large city of Portland, for no fault of its
people, for no wrong in the election, but be
cause the city clerk happened to make a
clerical error, which has been committed by
many-^others a hundred times before, and
which has never been regarded as invalidat
ing the returns.
Gentlemen of the Council understand that
a free ballot and an honest count and a pro
found respect for the results of an honest
election, are absolutely necessary to the very
life of a Republic. It is not possible that
free institutions can continue without that.
We have the right and the power to count
Portland in and to respect the voice of her
people; we have also the power but not
the right to count Portland out, and to
trample the rights of her people under foot.
However much I may regret the popular
verdict of that city, I caunot consent as an
honorable, an honest man, and as custodian
of the rights of the peeple, to that great
wrong.”
That is what Gov. Garcelon would have
done, if he wore an honorable and upright
man; he could not have done otherwise. In
stead of that he searched carefully for
pitiful, technical, clerical errors in the re
turns, for the express purpose of defeating
the will of the people and setting aside their
lawful and just verdict. What he did in the
case of Portland, he repeated in many other
cases, so as to reverse completely and abso
lutely the results of an election which had
been determined by a great majority. It is
not too much to characterize the act as an
Infamous crime, aiming a deadly blow at the
life of the nation.
Is there a man in Maine of common intel
ligence who does not know that the result of
the last election was an overwhelming ma
jority for the Republican ticket? There is
no such man; but by a great villainy, which
has had no parallel in any Northern State,
Gov. Garcelon has reversed the verdict of
the people and has set up his will in place of
it. Those whom he has counted in will
show themselves to be without honesty cr
honor, and should be abhorred by all upright
men if they accept tire places to which the
people did not elect them, and which they
can occupy only by a shameful fraud.
The Bangor Affair.
Are Governor Garcelon and his advisors
seeking to incite violence? Do they enter
tain the plan of provoking resistance to ex
ecutive usurpation, in order that they may
pose as defenders of law and order against
revolutionary resistance and mob violence?
Their conduct gives strong color to this sur
mise. All the talk about calling out the
militia, about barricading the State House,
about putting down rebellion, seems to be
deliberately made with the intention of ex
asperating the people of this State and pro
voking an outbreak. Why at this time
should the Governor send out orders for the
delivery at Augusta of the arms stored in
arsenals and stacked in the armories of the
... . . _t-_4. 4l.~ UtnlnO
mum.i luju|>.huco wnvu(,uv»v ***'' ~
The orders are at once a suggestion and a
threat. No speedier way to further inflame
the popular mind, already terribly excited,
could be devised. Under the circumstances
the action of the executive is not only ill
advised ; it is wicked. It is the duty of the
Governor to preserve the public peace. In
stead of doing that he is fomenting disturb
ance. He is preparing men’s minds for
armed violence. He is fanning into fiercer
flame a fire that already threatens us with
monstrous harm. He is playing the part of
the incendiary instead of the protector.
The effect of his action is illustrated by
the unfortunate affair in Bangor. Had it
not been for the-prompt action and wise
counsels of the municipal authorities and
leading Republicans there, and the prudence
of the gentleman delegated by Governor
Garcelon to carry sway the military stores
in the arsenal, serious trouble would have
resulted. We owe no thanks to Governor
Gardelon that the peace was kept. He is
doing his best to incite mob violence. The
only pretext he has for his action is the fact
that indignation meetings have been held
throughout the Stgje. This Governor, who
pretends to hold the Constitution of Maine
in so great reverence, forgets, or chooses to
ignore the fact that it expressly provides
that “the people have a right at all times, in
an orderly and peaceable manuer, to request
of either department of the government by
petition or remonstrance, redress of their
wrongs and grievances.” Because they
have exercised t right he has resorted to
