Providence favors the Republicans of Maine
and will send them Pendleton whose name is
synonym for the basest form of national dis
honor ever suggested in a civilized country.
Four good arguments against the Demo-
crats-Seymour, Blair, Pillsbury and Shaw.
The ten cent candidate for Congress is
Charles A. Shaw. He has been in the habit
of advertising in the papers to the effect that
ten cents inclosed to him would insure the
sender valuable information in return. The
gullble individual who complied with the
request got description of some humbug in
vention. The money realized in this way is
the only thing emitting him to seat in Con-
gress. q no TU}FENI. f.T.s
Four good Republican arguments-Grant,
Cofax, Chamberlain and Lynch. ....,
The Portland correspondent of the Boston
Herald, who is evidently what Mantilini
would call a"demnition foreigner" says that
there is great dissatisfaction with the manner
in which Mr.. Lynch obtained his nomination"
What does the 'paralelopipedon" mean? Mr..
Lynch exerted no personalinfuence whatever.
and the nomination came to him as a volun-
tary acknowledgment of the people of the
first district to faithful public servant.
AS Pendleton is coming to Maine it is a mat
ter of some interest to know how he will talk,
He spoke in Louisville the other night and
among other thing said this, .rt,0,ss e.
The whole history of such governments is
written in those two lines which the telegraph
conveyed to us few days ago, when a rever-
end member of Congress from North Carolina
begged that arms might be sent to the negroes
in the South. ar thtlsp Sta m h1,iIt
with so much care, would disappear of them
selves before the Presidential election. They
ought to disappear. hope they viii dsap-
pear. The sooner the better. -1rf,-f Il
That's sort of talk may do for Louisville but is
hardly the thing for the latitude of Portland,
Bangor or Augusta. Da0 r-Terss
Pillsbury has actually been telling his PEN
knife story again. Rehearsng it at lewiston
Thursday evening he said that he meant the
Senate instead of the House, as if that would
alter the fact that every, Congressman has a
tfned sum for stationery and has to pay for what
he draws in excess. ,.'.1
A correspondent of the Lewiston journal re-
lates the following amusing incident: ~si q
= A copperhead' attended meeting recently
where the minister had for his text, -. If the
righteous scarcely are saved, where shall the
wicked and the ungodly appear?" Copper said
they couldn't cheat HING he knew what he
meant by the wicked and ungodly;" he meant
the democratic party. isHeHi 'at 81. .i"s
The Sunday Advertiser of this city Demo
eratic) appears not to relish the nomination of
Shaw for Congress- We quote from an edito-
rial, preserving its italics: ssaae .s3'4'"
The Democrats could not have put up q bet
ter man than Mr.. Haines, but he does not seem
to court public station, or the emoluments of
office; while Shaw will spend more money, and
work harder than any other man that they
could have chosen, to get into Congress. He
has but one falling, he is rather tdibfdent and
oM not be likely to seek distinction aohen he gets
there, by haUing e0erything he says, or thinks of
saying, published This has at,odys kept him in
the background. N3S2iA e9&f&Ps%f z. 80
~ Gen. John F. Farnsworth, of Illinois,. is Wis
iting relatives in Hancock County, and has
been induced to join his Republican friends in
addressing public meetings.
Among the Republican campaign speakers
in Washington County is Harrison Hume,
Esq. of Cherryfeld He addressed large au-
dience at Machias last Monday, and made an
excellent impression. IogG WI 2 0JI
