In speaking of Mr.. G. L. Boynton, the Pen
dletonian candidate for the Democratic nomi-
nation for Governor, we mentioned Mr.. Pills
bury rival candidate and expressed thu
opinion that he was not an advocate of repu
diation. This opinion we are now obliged to
retract. Under the title "Gold for the bond
holders, rags for the people" the Maine Stand.
ard, controlled by Mr.. Pillsbury, publishes an
article from which we select the following ex.
tract which may be regarded as defining his
position. We do not care now to contradict
these threadbare Misrepresentation, but de-
sire simply to call attention to the fact that
Mr.. Pillsbury, like Mr.. Boynton, is opposed to
paying the public debt according to the tenor
and spirit of the bonds as understood at the
time of the issue'
A radical paper in this State, in speaking of
this subject, sometime ago, said:
I'VE answer the question, what shall be
done with the 500 bonds by asserting that
they must be paid in gold, both principal and
interest, according to the tenor and spirit of
the bonds, as understood by the holders at the
time of the issue of the bonds. Any depar.
ture from this contract will be step towards
reputation"
ventian covers the same ground precisely, ex-
cept the square use of the words "pad in
gold" Let it be understood therefore, that a
vote for Grant is vote in favor of gold cur
rency for bond-helders and greenback cur
rency TOR the pensioners and labOrers. 1t is
not enough that the laboring classes are oblig-
ed to pay nearly all the taxes, while accumu-
lated property goes free, but they must receive
rags for their pay, while tie bondholder re-
ceives gold.

THEATRE.-We are glad to see the business
grow better at the theatre. For the past few
nights it has been rather slim, still the MEM

with undated zeal to please those who have

Manager he seems to meet the exigencies OF
the case with the same courage as usual. He
has now playing with him one of the most
pleasing, chaste and accomplished ladies we
have seen on the stage for many day. Her

The UNITARIAN CoLLATIoN.-This social
entertainment took place last evening at City
Hall, and was fitting finale to a series of re-
ligious meetings. The hall was well filed and
all enjoyed the reunion in very rational
manner. A toast was once given at a Mason
ic celebration in the words following: "Free
Masonry-not religion, but the effect of it, "
and so we can say of this social gathering OF
our Unitarian friends. 1t was not religious
meeting, but a social one, for the true enjoy
ment of which the previous devotional exer-
cises had prepared them. There were no long
faces nor lugubrious countenances seen on
this occasion; all looked and acted as if this
world were not merely vale of tears but a
good place to begin life in. And so it is in
spite of any moral, religious or political class
of croakers. To some people the sun never
seems to shine nor the moon to give her light
They never feel as the little girl did when gaz-
ing upon the bright stars in the armament
she exclaimed, "Oh, father, if this side OF
heaven looks so beautiful, what must the in

right, and so all true Christians must feel.
Mr.. Talbot called the meeting to order, and

called upon Rev. Mr.. Everett of Bangor, who
gave a very pleasant and humorous speech.
He was followed by Rev. Mr. Battles and Gen.
Caldwell whose remarks were characterized
by much wit and humor. Previous to the
speaking the First Parish choir enlivened the
occasion with some good music, such as they
always give. After the speaking, Mr.. Talbot
called attention to the tables which were
abundantly Supplied with cakes, ice cream and
lemonade. Soon all were engaged in devour-
ing these good things, and good time they
had The evenings entertainment was a
pleasant one, and all seemed happy and con :
tented. To give the finishing touch to the oc-
casion, Mrs. Harriet Cammet Wetherbee sang
a cavatina from one of Donnizetts operas. 1t
is music difficult of execution requiring a
highly cultivated voice to render it, but it was
sang in admirable style. Kotzschmar played
the accompaniment. His performance was
enthusiastically applauded.

WE were a%reeably surprised yesterday to
See our former fellow citizen Hon. Oliver L..
SanDorh, now citizen of the State of Wis
consin. Mr.. Sanborn was the senior member
of the late firm of Sanborp q, Carter and held
various important offices by the favor of his
fellow citizens. Among other positions, he
was one of the presidential electors for Cass
and Butler. Though not of our own school of
politics, and very decided in his political opin
ions, he always commanded the public respect
by the fairness with which he supported what
we regard as the wrong side. Barring his pol
itlcs, we wish him all prosperity in the home
