Maine voters wary of New York Tribune graft in race

It links Jay Gould and the Tribune to monopolies and Blaine, arguing voters reject such tactics and ring-rule history. Quotes from the Standard and other papers reflect skepticism of outside agitation.

Open Letter to William N Simpson on Hale and Murch
A long open letter criticizes William N Simpson for praising Eugene Hale after years of opposition. It argues Hale’s record favored contractors and money politics, contrasts Murch’s labor background and House influence, and denounces fraud and corruption claims while linking political loyalties to party power and reform efforts. The piece also recalls historical anecdotes about Talleyrand and Benedict Arnold and ends with a salute to Union veterans and Iowa and South Carolina figures.

Government Contracts Battle Over Public Building Frauds
Boston Globe interview with Rep. March reveals crooked granite contracts and firm critique of the old fifteen percent profit system. He cites Maine firms, boarding house abuses, wage withholdings, and tool charges as proofs of rampant graft in government stone work. The discussion favors direct contract and a "day system" with honest superintendents and fair pay.
