We notice by yesterday mornings Argus

derman at the Democratic caucus in Ward !

from the condition of the checklist of voters
we should judge that the Democrats have a
chronic propensity of making mistakes of this
kind. In this instance, however, the Argus
is nearer right in the name than in the poll
tics of their nominee. The argus and its
followers are so sleepy, that when they wake
up they find that here and there their former
friends do not respond to their roll-call. Such
u the case with Charles o. Davis and null
titude Of other citizens of the same intelligent
class. There is no deception in his charac-
acter, but he is square, straightforward man.

his own talent and industry. He perempto.

cause the party did not represent his princi-
pies. He voted for Gen. Chamberlain last
fall, and last night be was nominated as the
Republican candidate for Alderman in Ward
!. Let the true working men of Ward 1 rally
and give him rousing majority.

Wards Five and Six.

We trust our sturdy Republicans of wards
nve and six will not be inveigled into any en-
tangling alliences of citizens tickets for ward
offices. This is the dodge now. The great
scheme having "gone where the woodbne
twineth," the last resort is to try it in the
wards. Wards five and six, are to be made a
bob-tail to the kite that disappeared in the
clouds on Wednesday evening.
The two wards named are already Repub-
hcan. They can carry straight ticket
through, whenever they please. There never
was more reason for it than now. Political
interests in the future for the welfare of the
country OF the utmost Importance, rise up on
every hand. The victory will be complete if
every man does his duty. There sbonld he No

The Issue.

The Democratic organization in this city
having accomplished its purposes in willy
manner has abandoned its position, and as it
can no longer use masked batteries, it has
openly entered the field, and presents list of
candidates for the endorsement of our citi-
Gems on purely partizan grounds. The decep-
ton which the managers have used in getting
up a citizens meeting" has signally tailed to
accomplish its object. Democratic partizans
have circulated a petition and by cunning
wo;ds have induced not few Republicans to
sign the same-when 10! a caption entirely
different from what was understood to be the
object of the meeting is surreptitiously placed
over signatures thus obtained. The moral
obligations to follow results obtained in this
way is too ridiculous.
Crest fallen they enter the field under the
torn and tattered banner of Democracy
They have given up any further appeals, and
undetermined works among intelligent Re-
publicans, and are now industriousIy at work
among different class. the Irish population of
our city. They are working upon their pred
juices. Go to the polls on Monday and
you, Taxpayers Of Portland,w will then and there
see who may at some future time con.
troll the city of Portland. But since the Dem
ocratic party have come out from behind its
hiding place, and desire to make an issue on
it, past services, we are led to enquire:
What, then, are the services of the Demo-
cratic party for which it should again be in
trusted with the direction of the affairs
The history Of thirty years answers. Its ser
vice consists in having strengthened, by every
appeal to passion, ignorance and cowardice,
the only aristocratIc class in the United
States, and an aristocracy founded upon the
degradation of labor. Its service consists in
systematic debauchery Ct the national con-
science; in fierce denial of the fundamental
principle of the Republic-the equality of
rights; and in an attempt. under the forms of
law, and by means of blood and terror, to fas-
ten slavery upon Kansas; and when the peo-
pie, at last aroused to the fearful truth, con-
stitutionally cast that party from power, its
browning service consisted in rushing to arms,
and seeking, by the most desperate and pro-
longed struggle, to overthrow the govern
ment. The Democratic party, whose conspi-
racy against the equality OF rights has been
toiled both in the field and at the polls, now
turns to the American people, who have been
its spectators ard victims, and informs them
that 1t is the only safe and patriotic and con-
sentative and conciliatory and Union-loving
party in the land.

The d" sinking Fund.-

The argus says that there is no such thing
named in the Ordinances OF the City as
/" Sinking Fund.-" On page S12 of the Revised
Ordinances, is the Ordinance in question and
there its title is, (" Sinking Fund" 1t was es-
tablished some years since, and its object was
to provide means for the payment of City
notes as they mature, without their reissue.
1t is under the control of the Committee on
Reduction of City Debt" and they are au-
thorized to lend on interest to the City Treas
urer such sums as are not Immediately want
ed for the purchase or redemption of the City
debt. The policy of the originators of the
Sinking Fund was, and has been continued up
to this year, to invest the surplus of the fund
in the City's own bonds and hold these securi.
ties till their maturity for the increase of the
fund. By so doing the market value of the city
bonds are improved and the interest coupons
paid from the appropriation for interest into
the sinking fund. At the beginning of the
present financial year the sinking fund held
$256,000 of its own bonds. The same system
is pursued by the State, where by law, the in
vestments Of its sinking fund are kept intact
till their maturity. What confidence can
holders of city bonds have in their security il
the means provided for their ultimate redemp-
ton are to be destroyed at the mistaken judg-
ment or worse purpose ofany city govern
ment? By the canceiling Of $154OO0 ofcity
bonds by the present city council, the sinking
fund loses yearly about $4,000 until the ma
turity OF these bonds. But it is said, howev-
er, that SO much is saved in the annual tax q
each year. If that is sound policy $4,000 q
year can be saved by abolishing the sinking
fund entirely, and raising nothing by taxation
towards the payment of the city debt
Whatever may have been the pretences and
intentions of the present city administration
in the cancelling of the bonds, it is contrary
10 the principles upon which sinking funds
are generally managed by sound financial
men. The act establishing the sinking fund
Of the Atlantic and st. Lawrence railroad, ex-
pressly provides that no investments of the
fund in script shall be cancelled, but shall be
held by the commissioners, for the purpose of
the fund. The result of this canceling Of
bonds and coupons is, that it leaves surplus
Of interest to be used, to help out deficiencies
In other words, it robs the sinking fund Of the
interest due it on these Cancelled bonds, and
uses it to pay over expenditures.

The Argus "GOne OUT

Not word of editorial about the election
in yesterdays argus. Does the paper mean
to "lie low?" does it "give it up?" is the Ell
tor busy canvassing for the City Solicitorships

Advertiser of Thursday said about the citi-
zens' meeting running like "cold molasses."
