The editors Of the various journ-
ais in the city Of Mexico recently
formed themselves into q society,
one portion Of whose constitution
binds them to abstain from mutual
personal attacks in future, when dis
c,,ssing politics Or any other matters.
There are some editors in this coun-
try whose conception Of the courte-
sizes of journalism is such that it
would probably be vastly improved
by a visit to Mexico and member
ship in the society aforesaid.

Gen. Richard Stoddard EwelI,
one of the most able Confederate
Generals in the battles of Gettys-
burg, the Wilderness and about
Richmond in 1862, died in MalTy
county, Tenn, January 10Th. In
giving directions regarding his
tombstone, he laid particular stress
upon the fact that he did not desire
any word employed in the ilsciip-
ton that could reflect in any way
upon the Government ofthe United
States. Gen. Ewell was born IN
the District of Columbia in 1918,
graduated at West Point in 1910,
and resigned his commissioners Cap
tain in the United States Army III
1861, to take up arms against the
Union.

The Changes to Greeley

The Progressive AGE of last week has
the following
The question is often asked: GLOW many
Greeley rtpubhcans are there in BeiIastr- We
have looked into the matter little and can find
only about dozen Who are outspoken and
twenty-five will include all who are at All IN
ircted.
We fear that our neighbor is not in Il
situation to hear of the changes that are
taking place. Men who have made up
their minds 10 vote for a change do not
always 90 upon the streets and declare
their intention. In many instances, es-
peclally in this vicinity, it would not be
hitherto supporter of Grant has leanings
toward Greeley, he is peStered by the eft
forts of the ,Ianssaries to win him back
He is interviewed by the whole bread and
butter brigade in succession, who ply him
with persuaSlons, cOaXingS and finally
with threats. Unless he is a man of more
than common nerve and determination
these tactics have an effect. In any event,
they are an ANNOYANCE to the man, and a
hindrance to his business. 1t is therefore
probably for the best when an in
quirer in radical interest clocks into the
matter little" that he can find only
twenty-five "who are at all infected. -
Our advice to those who mean to change
from the radical to the liberal ticket, is
that they keep quiet, and on election day
put their ballots in with no talk about the
matter at all. We know that there are
many who will pursue this course.
Belfast is probably the hardest place in
Maine in which to make conversions.
owing to the influence of the swarm of
ofice-holders here But still the twenty
fives changes confessed to by the Age
will, compared with the vote of last year,
give majority of fourteen for kimball in
Belfast. 1t will, if the same per cent of
change is had in Waldo, give us the
county by 22G. And in the State, Per-
hams majority will be reduced to 3 ,G06-
which of itself would be a victory But
when the canvass of the liberals, by those
who have better reasons to know their
strength, shows fifty changes in Belfast,
the result can be easily predicted.

Knox County.

We publish to-day the proceedings of
the Knox County Democratic Convention.
1t will be seen that our friends there are
not at all behind the determination Of
former years, in which they have so hand
somely kept the integrity of that strong
hold. The ticket which they place before
the people is a strong one, which cannot
fail to receive the confidence of men of
all parties The old democratic valor and
discipline will bear il on to victory. That
one hitherto trusted member of the party
has sold himself for price will not affect
the result. This is contest for the supre-
macy of principle, not for the advantage
of any man, and the renegade might as
well imagine that he can swim if east into
the sea with block of his own granite
slung to his neck, as that he can take any
political or personal advantage from such
a course. The humblest man that drives
his oxen or yields stone hammer must
despise his apostacy. And the true men
of the party will only work harder to
show how much they too abhor such trade
and dicker of principle. We look for a
good report from Knox County

How Shall we COMPARE Votes ?

1t is important, in estimating the results
of a contested election like that now 90
ing on, that we compare the result with
the corresponding year that last occurred
1t will not be fair to compare with last
year, because there was no special contest
to call out full vote The State election
that occurred in the last Presidential year
is the only one with which a fair compal-
rison can be made. In that year the can
didates were Pillsbury and Chamberlain,
both popular men, and full vote was out,
as there always is in Presidential years.
Chamberlain's majority was 10000 The
vote of that year is the standard of com
parison for 1872, and all that Perham
falls below his predecessors vote in 1868,
is so much gain. 1t is important to bear
this in mind.

Good Bye, John.

We read in the Bangor Wing that John
ii. Rice, of that city, attended the late
radical district convention, and declared
himself as favoring the re election of Gen
Grant. The event is announced with a
flourish of trumpets by the radical presses,
that seem in state of great exultation
over the return of this ransomed sinner.
The amount of the ransom is not stated
But it is relief all around to know that
John has at length found his affinity 1t
was a painful spectacle to behold him Sit
ting with vacillating INDIGESTION on the po-
liiical fence, eagerly scanning either field ,
putting his legs first on one side and then
on the other. The top rail of that fence
is always q sharp one, and John must
have found it trying to trowsers and exec
rating to flesh. But something on the
radical side of the division at length at
tracted his regard, some reward of virtue,
''lhe substance of things hoped for" and
all his doubts vanished. Let us rejoice
that we no longer hear the voice of John
crying in the wilderness. He is out of
the woods, and sweetly reposes in the
shadow of the White House, where To-
Gusts and wild honey abound.

deal to say about the rum that was drank
at Augusta, during the Greeley demon

say that the democrats of Belfast or any
