The article presents political news related to the U.S. To characterize adequately the performances of the Democratic Governor and Council in Maine in exercising the functions of a Returning Board would require very strong language. The whole defense they make &mdsah; that the law obliges them to exact rigid conformity to certain rules in examining the election returns — is demolished by two facts. The benumbing report of the Republican caucus committee at Washington D.C., recommending that there be no legislation of any kind this session upon the currency, includes the silver question as a matter of course and leaves a burden upon the Treasury and a tax upon the people of at least two million dollars per month, which somebody and some political party must answer for certainly in some future one.
