G. w. STANLEY, Pres.
/. BooTHBY, Cash.

The mistake which Col. Stanley and Mr..
Boothby make, is in supposing that only
Stakeholder has the right to make inquiries
concerning the conduct and management
of Bank. The great public who are the
patrons, borrowers and depositors of a
Bank have even a more sacred interest.
That interest we shall guard.
And we are very sorry to be compelled
to say that the answer of Col. Stanley and
Mr.. Boothby seems to be evasive and is
certainly unsatisfactory. Fewer words and
far less effort would have been more credi-
table to the officers of the First National
Bank.
The charge of the Maine Standard is
as follows
SIN the memorable political contest in this
city in the fall of 1865 when the tide had set
strongly against radcalsm the democrats
having carried the city in the spring before, it
was found that the corruption fund which had
been raised would be insufficient to secure the
success OF his party, and on the morning of
the election he, Mr.. Blaine drew fifteen hun
bred dollars additional from the First Nation
himself and some four or five of the leading
republicans of the city, whose names are
known"
Now this statement is either true or I'M
true.
But Col. Stanley and Mr.. Boothby de-
cline to say which it is.
!ftrue, of course every one can see that
the dates and data must have leaked out
of the Bank.
Ifantrsse, Col. Stanley and Mr.. Booth
by by refusing to say so, place themselves
in All attitude of practical collision with
the Maine Standard in imposing a false
hood on the community.
The logic Of these propositions is of
more importance to them than to us.
We are sorry that Col Stanley and Mr.
Boothby did not more promptly put their
Bank in right attitude before the public.
They allowed an injurious statement to be
made affecting prominent public man,
based on transaction alleged to have
been made at the Bank. The statement of
the Standard has been five days before the
public. 1t took one loud call editorially,
and one still louder from stockholder, to
produce any response from the president
and cashier of the First National Bank.
And in our Judgment, if they could not say
more, they had better have said nothing.
What they have said will be trumpeted as
a justification of the charge in the Maine
Standard. Are they willing to haye it so
considered? .~+ ~. ....A 80. ...

To the Editor of the Journal.-
The following questions appear in your is
sue of this date addressed to the Presi-
dent and Cashier of the First National Bank
of this. city.
First, "Are the circumstances related in the
Standard in regard to Mr.. Blaine borrowing
$500, true?"
Second, ''Lf true, were these circumstan-
ces narrated to the Standard by any officer
connected with the Bank?"
In reply thereto, we hasten to respond to
the first. That in our judgment the only
proper place for stakeholder to inquire into
any transactions of this Bank is at this Bank,
where any inquiries he may make shall be fully
answered. And to the second: That the cir
cumstances of the negotiation referred to-,
were not narrated to the Standard by any
officer connected with this Bank, nor by any
director thereof, according to our best knowl-
edge and belief. .sssrssa-s--+r.-e 4.. --

The "week OF prayer" was observed
here by all the churches uniting, hold
ing their meetings for that purpose at
the Methodist Church. The meetings
were largely attended, with much in
terest and religious unity. At the
close, on the Sabbath following,
communion service was held, which
was largely participated in by the re-

meeting is now in progress at the
same Church.

0HIo DEMOCRACY.

The Executive Committee and lead
ing spirits of the Ohio Democracy
have been holding a meeting this
week, in Columbus, to take into cool,
calm and deliberate consideration the
condition Of the party and its future
prospects. The first question settled
was thEt the next State Convention
should be held at Columbus, the time,
Wednesday, June l, 1871. a meeting
wRs held at night, which was address
ed by Geo. II. Pendleton and others.
George thought "that if the entire
strength of the Democracy was called
out this yea, and an honest count was
had, the Democracy might succeed.
ITO do this, ,"he said, "we must organ
ize thoroughly by counties and town
ships. We should recur in our argu-
ments before the people to the men
and events Of our early history-to
the days Of Washington, Jefferson,
and Jackson. If reasons will ever be
strong enough to induce a majority o.
the people TO come over to US, those
reasons exist now, and are found in
the commercial and financial eondi
ton Of the country" And George
then went on with his old speech o.
seI ITeral years ago. C. Z. Vallandig'
ham followed with his old speech, in.
voking, the spirit Of Andrew Jackson
and advocated a spirited campaign
wherein they "must assault will
sword in haud." Gen. Thomas Ew,
ing followed Vallandigham, and mad,

Ewing is right. 1t is much better 70
that party to drop old Things anC

ton here arises-will the people for
get all these things that sensibl'
Democrats want to bury? That is
terrible hitch, and we fear the mem
oEy of the "dear people" is so goo
that these things will rise in spite @
lheaps Of Democratic dirt piled upOl
them.
Let us wait and see, and in tn
