PAIN FAurs. PLAINLY srATED,
Tas Que.,ion Of To-Day

re take il for granted that no man is so igno-
rant o he state of parties in Massachusetts,, as
to suppose for moment that by any combina-
ton of circumstances or any tricks of politians,
the Electoral vote of Massachusetts can be
given to any other candidates than Fremont and
Dayton. TO all intents and purposes that ques-
ton is settled just much if the votes had
all been polled and counted and the official re-
turns registered at the State House.
No man can seriously entertain a doubt upon
this point, knowing that Governor Johnston
has withdrawn from the ticket of the American
party and that the terms of union upon one
ELECTORAL ticket have been agreed upon by the
respective state committees of the Peoples Par
y and the Gardner wing of the Aanericans.
So far, so good, and now as to state matters,
the most desperate efforts are being made by the
friends of the present executive to bamboozle
the people into belief that the peoples party at
its convention to-day must place him in nominal
ton.
And here the question comes-Why should the
Peoples Convention, which assemblies here, to-
day, or any member of 1t, presume to 20 out Of
the ranks OF the Peoples party for its candidates
'UUmmUu',esisu - ira, gi9spt the people Of
itthink for moment Of taking for its candidate
for the highest Office in the State that man the
olsekness Of whose political record, which we pub
fish in another column, shows him to be the very
last man in the State that any true friend of the
Peoples cause or the platform of principles laid
down at Philadelphia, by the Peoples Conven-
ton, should vote for. We know that he has had
for the past three months his emissaries all over
the State, urging his claims before the people
and we know that they make their vain glorious
boasts of his strength with the people, wherever
they can find few of them assembled together
But it is equally certain that the most intense
dislike exists in the popular mind against him,
and that men Of all parties, Who compose the Peo-
pies party, are equally DESTROYS OF getting rid of
an official, whose unveracity as a man, and whose
low cunning politician, makes him odious to
honest men all over the state.
We have already, shown the strongest reasons
why Governor Gardner should not receive the
nomination of the Peoples Convention, to con-
vince those who believe there is any good in him,
that he is knaye and hypocrite but there are
some, who being convinced upon this point, will
still insist that it is necessary to nominate Lin,
in order to con CT late his wrath and prevent him
from accomplishing the infamous purposes which
he threatens, in case the Peoples party do not
yield to the threats which he puts forth with all
the swagger of Bob Acres, and all the insolence
of Tom Hyer and Yankee Sullivan.
We commend to our readers the following table,
and ask them in all candor and sincerity to read
it. examine its statements, and ask themselves
what are the real prospects that the Chic. Magis-
tra,e of the State ny out his insulting
threats, Of detecting the Champions of Freedom
