REPUTATION.

Occasionally we hear it announced that
the democratic party is opposed to repudi-
alton of the national debt, but there are few
who believe it. One of the party organs,
the Cincinnati Enquirer, says the party in
the West is divided on this question and
perhaps controlled by the regulators.
Here is what it says upon the subject.
1.-The Democracy of Ohio are now divi-
ded, and only divided, upon the point
whether any portion OF the debt should be
paid at all. A LARGE AND PERHAPS
A CONTROLLING SECTION OF THE
PARTY, HERE AND IN THE WEST,
ARE FOR OPEN AND UNDISGUISED
REPUTATION. Another division adj
heres to the old views, and favors the pay
ment with greenbacks, not par in gold, but
greenbacks worth what they were when
the debt was taken. The diversity of sem
timent was such that it was not thought
advisable to make any distinct declaration
at this time"
The Wisconsin State Journal speaking
from the republican standpoint says in
noticing the above from the Enquirer:
THE Fourteenth Amendment says that the
validity of the public debt shall never be
questioned. nor the debts incurred tor the
payment of pensions and bounties; but
neither the United States nor any State
shall assume or pay any obligation incurred
in aid Of instruction or rebellion against
the United States, Or any claim for the loss
or the emancipation of slaves.
OF course the Democracy will not, if
they gain power, be satisfied with the re-
pudiation of few words in this brief Sec
ton of two sentences. They can just as
well brush away the whole amendment as
part of il and the Fifteenth, with the Thir-
teenth, which abolishcs slavery, can be re-
pudiated with the same ease that part OF
the Fourteenth can be. The rabid portion
of the Democracy would like to repudiate
the history of the past ten years, and return
TO the good old times. But the people are

WHAT HAS MR.. BLAINE DONE?


At the very time the cry uttered by the
personal and political enemies of the Rep
resentative from this Congressional Dis
trict is sounding through their organs,
What has Mr.. Blaine done for MaineP''
the columns of the newspapers OF this and
other States contain the intelligence that
the Maine and Massachusetts claim for in
terest, upon which depends the completion
of Names part of the great highway
from Halifax to San Francisco, has pass
ed the House. and that Mr.. Blaine did sig
nal service in securing its passage. The
Washington correspondent of the Boston
Journal, whose State is equally interested
with ours in the passage of this measure,
gives Mr. Blaine great credit for his ef-
forts in this case. So we suppose there is
no doubt that Mr. Blaine has done some
thing for his State. 1t will make no diff
erence, however, with his slanderers, they
will stick to their foul business just the
same, and like the loathsome toad at the
ter their poison as long as they can find a
listener. Mr. Blaine cannot level the
mountains or drain the lakes of this State,
or change its climate, but q stronger and
more influential advocate of its interests
never represented any portion oft in Con-
gress, or one truer to those interests. He
is PENNSYLVANIA" say his slanderers,
and upon this they harp as though it were
a crime for him to have been born in an
other State, and could not therefore be
true to his adopted State. Yes, Mr.. Blaine
is Pennsylvania by birth, and it is no
disparagement to him or disadvantage to
Maine that Pennsylvania honors him.
Perhaps this circumstance had something
to do with the fact that the Pennsylvania
republicans in Congress stood by Mr..
Lynch's bill to relieve the shipbuilding in
terests of the country, in which Maine is
SO largely interested. That phase of the
Pennsylvania matter is one they find it
convenient to skip over.
While Mr. Blaine is performing the
duties of Speaker of the National House
of Representatives honoring his State in
his position, and exerting his influence
and abilities in such manner as he believes
best, and always, for her good, the enc
mics of the republican party are engaged
in the disgraceful business of which we
saw evidence in the last Standard. Mean,
dirty work it is, even for democratic
paper. Spreading this slime of small
minds, engenderedby personal malignity,
by hatred of man whom they dare not
meet in fair field defaming a townsman
by the largest lies on the smallest basis,
and endeavoring to pull down the credit
of the State and her influence in Congress,
is poor business indeed, of which they
who are engaged in it ought to be heartily
ashamed. Time generally brings things
round about right and upon this Mr..
Blaine can rely with confidence. Injus-
tice often overshoots the mark, and base
ness at last gets its own reward.

damp. Time occupied, one hour and twenty
eight minutes, the machine being turned by
one person. Also, this day ten bundles were
threshed with fails by two men. Time occu-
pied, twenty-five minutes, the oats being of
the same quantity as threshed by the machine
on the 9th, which yielded only twenty three
pounds of oats. do not think there would
be this difference in the yield with grain prop
erly cured, threshed in a cold day.
THOMAS BURsIEL.
1t was thought before the oats were meas
ured that they would yield about 50 bushels,
or bushel to II bundles the common esti-
mate made on threshing by fail. But it APP
peared that only ten bundles we're required
to yield bushel, the machine taking out the
grain so thoroughly The Messrs Smith
purchased the unthreshcd balance of the oats
to use in experiments at their office in Wells
Block, where they are exhibiting the ma
chine.
Gov. Brown, who failed to witness the test
at Bedford, saw the working of the machine
subsequently, and gave his testimony in its
favor as follows:

and Central Motive Apparatus, did not reach
me i'll season, in consequence of my being
out of the city. Since that however, have
had an opportunity of seeing the Thresher in
operation, beating out oats that were obvious
ly cut before coming to maturity, the straw
somewhat damp, and the grain clinging close
ly to the husk. The Thresher, however,
brought every grain from the poorest bundles
that were put through it, clearly dcmonstrat-
ing that the kernel from unripe grain may be
threshed out by this process when common
fails utterly fail to do it.
had also an opportunity OF witnessing the
working of the Circular Saw when attached to
the Central Motive Power, cutting through

facility though steam or water power were
propelling ii. In some instances cutting
plank four inches Tick by FIVE inches wide
three times through after the person turning

regret not being present at the trial at

witnessed it who speak in high terms of praise
of the efficiency of threshing in beating out
grain. Very truly yours,
