racy of the Tribune correspondents judg-
ment.
We might fill this whole page with extracts
similar to those given above from the journal
which sis not an organ and fill two-thirds
of our paper every day with similar predic-
tons from similar special correspondents all
over the country. Judging from the past,
the EMBELLISHMENTS of the Tribune and 9th
er Democratic papers are not entitled to any
confidence. As the Liberal prophets contln-
ually misrepres ented the strength Ct the LID
eral movement in Vermont and Maine, 1t Is
fair to infer that they are employing the same
shameful weapons throughout the country
that the Liberal party outside OF a few ex-
office holders and hungry office seekers, is a
myth-that the braggadocia of the Democrat
ic organs 10 game to entrap the supposed
wavering voters. We may further conclude
that the past failures of the Tribune and
similar journals to give anything like reliable
predictions or statements, forfeit their claims
upon the public as respectable newspapers.
Everything said by Item must be taken with
an infinite quantity of salt.

The President to General Dix.

The following letter from President Grant
to General Dix, congratulating him upon his
nomination by the Republican Convention at
Utica, has just been made public:
LoNG BRANCH, N. j., Aug. "a, 1872 Y
My Dear General,-I congratulate you up
on the unanimity and enthusiasm of the
Utica Convention on the occasion of your
nomination for the honorable and responsible
position Of Governor of the great State of
New York Especially do congratulate the
citizens of that State almost irrespective of
party, upon your nomination. believe you
viii! receive the active support of the great
majority of the best people of the State,
and the secret sympathy of thousands who
may be so bound up by party ties and pledges
as to force them to support your opponent.
To doubt your election would be to impugn
the intelligence and patriotism of people by
whose enlightened discrimination such emf
nently good men as Tompkns, Clinton, Mar
cy, Wright, Seward, Fish, King and Morgan
have been elevated to the Chief Magistracy
of the Empire State. With your election, re-
forms in the State will naturally follow,
which, all acknowledge, have been much
needed for years.
No one acquainted with the political history
of New York for the past eight years will
claim that all the abuses of legislation are due
to Democratic rule, but members, or at least
pretended members, of both political parties
share the responsibility of them.
When l read the proceedings of the Con-
vention of the 2lst inst, and the unanimity of
the feeling in fssy Oh of e-.a yoor associates
on the State ticket, felt that victory had
been already achieved, and reform inaugural
ed in the State of New York.
Again l congratulate you, not upon the
prospect of being Governor, but upon having
it within your reach to render such service to
your State. .e,7E - goa
1t is happy day when conventions seek
candidates, not candidates nominations.
This dream has been realized in the action of
the Convention of the 21st inst, at Utica,
N. Y. r tA-- q --'5

obedient servant, U. S. GRANT.

Political Notes.

That funny Journal the N. Y. World
sends special correspondent with Mr. Gree
ley in his swinging around the circle. This
vivacious reporter always speaks of Mr.. Gree
ley as "our next President" ''the future
President" &c. But, then, the World was
always addicted to sarcasm
The Tribune wants to know when Joshua
F. Bailey's bondsmen are TO be prosecuted?
Had it not better look out for the beam in its
own eye? In spite of the Tribune's assertion
to the contrary, Horace Greeley has not yet
made good to the Government he amount
for which he became liable by the defalcation
of Norton.
A correspondent of the New York Erening
Post says: ''The attempt to fasten the charge
OF bribery upon Secretary Boutwell,, Speaker
Blaine, and a number of Republican Repre-
sentatives, in connection with the Union
Pacific Railroad Company and the Credit
Mobiller, has been shown to be utterly untrue
in the cases OF number of those mentioned,
and evidence is not wanting to prove that the
story is also false as regards the other gentle
men named. 1t is said that certain specified
sums were paid to Secretary Boutwell, and to
several members of Congress in consideration
for their votes and influence in the House.
That this story is conjured up for political
effect during the present political campaign
and has no foundation, is fully established by
an examination of the votes in the House on
number of the bills affecting the Union Pa
cific Railroad, by which it appears that Sec
Rotary Boutwell, uniformly voted against this
corporation, and WAS strongly opposed to
granting them lands and a subsidy"

THE Liberal candidate for the Presidsn-

THE Liberal candidate for the Presidsn-
cy. Mr.. Greeley, has escaped from his keep
ers and is con the rampage through the
western country, to the vast CONSERVATION of
his hackers, and the intense delight of his
foes. As might readily be surmised, he is
making speeches wherever he catches an au-
dience, and, of course, finds it necessary on
each occasion to explain what he meant in
some preceding effort. There is something
delightfully."- refreshing in the notion of the
bland old gentleman bidding defiance, with
much profanity,to the earnest remonstrances
of his New York managers, and starting out
of his own hook with the magnificent distances
on the great West before him. If he works as
efficiently in the October States as he did in
the September, we bid him most fcrvently
"God speed.'

The State Fair.

-'i. BANGOR, Sept. 81
To the Editor of the Press:
The skies which for the last four days baye
been lowAry, deluging with frequent showers
visitors to the State Fair, and lettering many
who would otherwise have attended, cleared
away this morning. and the sun and wind have
so rapidly dried the mud that at 1912 a. m
the race track was considered in condition for
the resumption of trotting. The grand stall
lion race is in progress this forenoon, and this
afternoon there is to be a race for sweepstakes.
The exhibition halls this morning are nearly
emptied of their contents, and most of the
visitors have left the city. A few horsemen
remain to see the races to-day. The freedom
from rowdyism and nearly every kind of dis
tnrbance in the city and on the Fair Grounds
during the days of the Fair have been the SUBJ
ject of much complimentary remark A lock-
up had been built on the grounds in anticipa-
ton of possible use, but the only case that
seemed to merit an application to it, and in this
case the penalty was not inflcted,) was that of
special policeman who was detected peddling
liquor from his pockets.
The State Fair has not been pecuniarily
success, the expenditures exceeding the receipts
by considerable sum, though there is little
doubt that with pleasant weather all expenses
wonld have been betrayed by the proceeds of
the sale of tickets The exhibition halls have
been largely patronized, the receipts at Norom-
bega Hall amounting to over $4,000. The re-
ceipts at City Hall must amount to $1,000. In
the latter place the display of fruit, flowers and
pictures, though almost wholly local, was ex-
tensive, varied and attractive. The most labo-
rious, and really meritorious production, was
eleven pictures in worsted by Mrs. A. w Dag
get of Bangor, the largesta picture of Gen.
Washington, the dimensions by feet. 1t
seems pity that in consideration of the refined
class of people who were attracted to this hall,
that door-keeper of at least ordinary intelli-
gence and politeness could not have been Sc
lected, instead of the morose, ungracious indi-
vidual who performed that function with the
air of a mastiff watching bone This is an
exceptional case, however, for in general the
officials connected with the exhibition have
performed their duties with great urbanity and
politeness f-.- P.

A Capital Choice.

The appointment of Joseph W. Symonds,
Esq, as Judge of our Superior Court is one
eminently fit to be made and is Viewed with
universal satisfaction in this community. Mr..
Symonds is gentleman of great ability and
culture with extensive legal at.ainments.
He will adorn the place to which he is called,
which is but the opening to him of a brilliant
judicial career. We congratulate the bar and
and all suitors upon his acceptance of the
position. The selection by gen.
eral consent and approval of 50
young man for SO responsible position is a
mark of public confidence which is certainly
very fiattering to its recipient.
