What does he mean? Whittier is he going?
The Albany Erening Journal, referring to
the Democratic clubs in that State which
tore down their Greeley banners last week,
and came out for Grant, says: ''Such indica-
tons of popular sentiment are seen every
where; and the chances are that, if Greeley
remains in the field, he will not carry three
States. The stampede is simply astounding"
o. b. Jones. Republican elector in the
fourth district of Alabama, reports terrible
condition of affairs in the western part of the
State. Republican meetings are being broken
up with regular frequency, and the speakers
are shot at as though they were so many part
ridges.
The Greeleyites excuse their defeat in Penn
sylvania by asserting that the Democrats bolt
ed the coalition ticket. which suggests the que
ry: If Democrats refuse to vote for Buckaew,
straight-out party man, because their party
had taken a ''new departure" how will it be
in November when Greeley himself will be
in the field?
Senator Wilson said at St. Louis, in refer
ence to the October elections 81 have expect
ed this triumph. I have expected that we
would carry every one of the free States-the
old ones mean-and shall be disappointed
if we do not carry at least two-thirds of what
were called the Slave States"
Ben Wade is said to have assured the Pre-
sident that Ohio is good for $4,000 Repub-
lican majority in November.
The Republican Committee of Georgia
charge murders, ballot-stuffing and reign of
Democratic terrorism generally on the recent
election, and give details to prove their asser-
lions.
A despatch from Wilkesbarre, Penn, SAYS
that Internal Revenue Collector Hoyt, L. d.
Shoemaker, candidate for Congress, ex- Mayor
Moreis of Scranton, and Revenue Assessor
Gaines of Pittston, have been arrested on
the charge of bribing voters at the recent
election.
The Straight-out Democrats of Pennsylva-
mia have decided not to nominate an indie
pendent electoral ticket, as the October cleo
tons have put the election of Greeley out of
the question.

The Washington correspondent Of the Bos-

lowing:
An amusing story is told by Secretary
Boutwell,. When he was down in Maine re-
Gently he came across fiery Liberal who
wanted to wager his political existence on
Pennsylvania and Ohio:
To-day he again met the gentleman here.
"Weli.' said he, eve have beaten you this

DR. GREELEY is confident that the Liberal
party in Pennsylvania died for want of prop
er organization, while DR.. Mcclure insists
that it came to grief because 10000 impeni-
tent mules in the late Democratic party
wouldn't be exhorted to vote, and another 20
900 voted too much. However these two en-
inent Liberal doctors may differ as to the
cause, they both admit that it is very dead

THE CIDER QUESTION Maine Farmer,
in candid consideration of the cider question
in all its aspects, moral, legal and financial
makes the following timely suggestions to pro-
ducers:
We have often been surprised at the great
haste exhibited by many orchardists to dispose
OF their cider as soon as it comes from the mill
when there is no product of the farm that SO
increases in value with age AS cider In the
fall of 1870 we bought barrel of cider for three
dollars and put it into a dry cellar with the
bung open. There it lay year, and on exam
lining it, it proved to be good vinegar, and we
sold it to trader for ten dollars. Here was
net profit of more than three hundred per cent
Hundreds of barrels of cider were sold from the
town that year at ten cents per gallon, all Of
which would have sold readily in year at thir-
ty cents per gallon.
There is always ready market for good CT
der vinegar, and II every gallon of cider made
in this country should be converted into vine
gar, the supply would not equal the demand.
For want of pure cider vinegar, thousands of
barrels of a villainous compound, injurious to
health, are annually sold in the name of vinegar

A WASHINGTON correspondent says that
information has reached there that it is the
intention of a majority of the stockholders to
make the proposed change next March, when
the Tribune will become as Republican in its
tone as ever. That, however, will not suffice.
The change must be made before the Novem-
Der election, or it will be of no use. Should
it not have been made then, it is probable an
address will be issued by the Union Republi-
can Executive Committee declaring the Tri-
bune no longer Republican paper, and call
ing upon the people to frown down its pre-
tensions.

will be devised to hold the Ku-Klux in check.

ONE of the jokes of the season in a small
way is the indignant denial of the Boston
Herald that it is not Democratic paper. 1t
may not be; yet one Of its correspondents
who magnified Democratic fizzle at the be-
ginning of the campaign, into an immense
popular demonstration, on being asked why
he did so, replied that the Herald people so
directed. He also said that he was to belittle
Republican meetings. However we believe
this is independent journalism" of the Dana
Reid school.

The POLITICAL CAMPAIGN OF 1S72.-
With this caption the North american Re
rieac for October contains a well considered
article upon political issues. 1t regards the
decisive objection to Mr. Greeley's election to
be reaction in relation to reconstruction and
the security of all those great results which
have been bought by the blood and treasure
of the country. One extract places Mr.. Gree
ley before the business men of the country in
manner which they can but heed.
"Mr. Greeley is the first of our Presiden-
tial candidates to give public pledge as to
the manner in which he shall distribute the
offices and reward his supporters at the polls
1t is understood, therefore, that his inaugu-
ration will be the signal for general revolu-
ton among the $4,000 Office holders under
the government aud in the midst of that hur-
ly-burly, who will remember competitive
examinations" unless it be some ap-
plicant for place successful and happy
enough to indulge in the best joke of the
season? Neither can such prospect be re-
garded as favorable to the national finances.
In the first place it would involve change,
and no change is wanted, least of all one to
be inaugurated by president who believes
that card tackled upon the treasury door
would accomplish the instant resumption of
specie payments, by making the gold in the
treasury-which he also thinks ought to be
sold off-convertible into five or six times the
same amount OF paper money; who has in
his train repudiationists on the one hand.
and on the other those who advocate the paw
ment OF pensions to rebel soldiers and even
compensation for the loss of slaves, and who
think they see the way for approaching such
schemes through so-called revenue measures,
which Mr.. Greeley has disabled himself from
resisting by renouncing the use of the veto."

1t seems that two parties claim the patent
right for refrigerators made in the style used by
our grocers. One of these parties, a Mr. Chase,
was in town to-day, and was present at a meet
ing of our grocers last evening. He made this
proposition: That if the grocers of Lewiston
and Auburn would pay him at the rate of so
cents per square foot floor measure), for the
ice chests used by them, he will defend the
cases now pending in the Circuit Court at Port
land, in which the other party, Roberts, who
also claims this patent, has sued thirty or forty
sa % rOr o. s tho
suits and establishes his claim to the patent, as
he says he is sure of doing, then our grocers
pay him so cents per square foot of floor, addi
tional, and the patent insures the holders of
these chests against further harm. 1t is under
stood that our grocers accept this proposition.

THE REPUBLICAN CONGRESSIONAL Com
mittee is receiving information from the
Northern States to the effect that while the
Greeleyites still continue to talk loudly in
public, they have abandoned all hope of
electing their candidate. In New York the
Democratic leaders are willing to sacrifice
Greeley to save their local ticket. The Re-
publicans express the utmost confidence,
while the Democrats say that Greeley's
chances are very small. The betting frater-
nifty have information that their asso-
ciates in New York are now offering to bet
500 to $40 that Grant will carry the State.
The committee also begin to feel quite hope
full of carrying Delaware, as excessive Demo-
cratic dissatisfaction is reported from all
parts of that State. The prospects in New
Jersey are reported as most favorable. A
general reaction against Greeley is reported
from Virginia, and a vigorous Republican
campaign will begin there Immediately.
