Hale a Carpet Dagger!

We notice that some of the radical pa
pers are making assaults upon Hon. F.
A. Pike, alleging that he has not shown a
proper regard for the shipping interests
OF Maine. But they fail to state what is
the fact, that Mr. Pike has always lived in
seaport town, with Il natural tendency
to favor ship-owners. that he is one of
that class himself, and owns interests in
twelve vessels.
Hale, on the other hand, is fresh
water sailor who eleven years ago came
to Ellsworth. He never owned a timber
in vessel. His interests have never been
really identified with the coast He waits
now only in the hope of q reelection,
when he will pull up stakes and remove
to Michigan, where his family interests
are. SO that to re elect Mr.. Hale will
serve only to give Maine one less repre-
sentative in Congress, and Michigan one
more. Do the people of the Fifth Dis
trict want to do that? If not, let them
vote for f. A. Pike.

ton to force his nomination ''bv the use
OF money" A man who will use money
at caucuses will use it at the polls. The
Age accuses Mr.. Hale of bargain with
Rockland men to get an appropriation of
of $4,000 for Custom House, and re-
ceve the support Of the local party. That
was pretty near to buying influence with
money.
Again on July u, the Age asks, in
accounting for the Rockland Free Press
defence Of Hale: Has the editor been
promised a sinecure. or is he to have a
corner in the SGT. 900 custom house appro-
priation?' That was a pretty strong hint
that money was to be had for influence.
And on July Il. the Age asserts that ''Mr.
Hale for the purpose OF getting a delega-
ton from PASSPORT. spends almost $4,000
a year of government money That is a
Slight hint towards money fir votes and
influence. And again. July 9TH. the Age
says, in speaking of Mr.. Hale, I'm fur
Their pursuance of his purpose. he has
bargained congressional appropriations
for votes" In its next issue, in speaking
of the Ellsworth Convention. the Age
said -
Everybody in this district knows that the
convention was got together by office holders
that money was disbur>ed to carry caucuSeS.
and money was offered 10 bride delegates under
the preence of paving their expenses; that the
convention was to large extent made up OF
office holders. and of the business men some OF
the most prominent were noted smuIglers.
Aud now. with an air of the utmost in
lignation. it denies that Mr. Hale is using
money, and calls on Us for proof! We
write this with reluctance From the first
we have sincerely pitied the editor of the
Age, for the terrible dilemma into which
his temper and lack of Judgment have got
him in this Congressional matter. and
have torehome to say anything on the
subject But when such challenges are
given as we quote, a reply is called for
In all tie annals of turning and twisting
nothing approaches the course of the Age
towards Hale.

Hon. j. NJ. ASHLEY, late Il member of Con-
gress from Ohio, is speaking with great effect
in this county. On Tuesday afternoon a splen-
did Greeley & Brown flag was raised in Brooks,
and afterwards a meeting held. Charles Il.
Lane, Liberal Republican, presided. Mr., A shley
made splendid speech, which WAS received
with great enthusiasm and repeated cheers.
On Wedne sday, Mr.. Ashley spoke at Unity
with like effects, and will continue in the County
during the week.
Hon. JOHN X. TARBON, of Massachusetts,
addressed a meeting at saturday Cove. North
port, on Tuesday evening, and will in Knox
Troy and other places during the week, MI
TarboX makes very iorcihle speech, and is
one Of the best >tnmperS in his state.
Hon. 4. II. Hubbard, OF Biltlitord and Col
Heusts, of Washington have held meetings at
Montyile. Frankfort and Searsport. Mr.. Hub
bard is well known as one of the best stump
speakers in the state, while Col. HeuStiS is
charged full of facts regarding radi tal frauds.
Hon. f. f. PILLSBURY addressed Greeley

4 Remarkable Conversion.

Our readers will remember that in the
early days OF the Congressional canvass
ING in this district we copied some brave
words of the Prog. Ages in respect to
the disreputable means by which Mr.. Hale
was seeking re election. We are sorry
to say, for the honor Of journalism that
the Age has been brought in to the sup
port of the man that less than sixty days
ago it utterly rcpudiated as corrupt and
unfit tor the position that he sought Not
only that, but it has folly to attack this
paper for saying, what everybody knows
to he true that Hale is lavishlv using
money to aid his election The Age
says
Now such charge is mean and contemplate
unless facts are given which Justify it, Does
The journal pretend that it has any such facts?
Does 1t know of ii single man, republican or
democrat, who has ever been offered money to
vote tor Mr: Hale or has even received hint
mat he could have money either for his vote or
bis influence? Unless it has such information
IL occupies the position of Willtul ibeller.
We will endeavor to answer our neigh
Dor. week or two ago Mr. Hale was
in this city, and sought an interview with
the editor of the Age. 1t was then an
nounced by the Grant officials here that
the Age would cease Its attacks upon Mr..
Hale, and gradually come to his support.
We cannot say what valuable considera
ton passed from Hale to the editor of the
Age, for we didn't see the transaction.
There are generally but two present on
such occasions, and they are both interest
ed in keeping the secret. All that the
public is permitted to know is that the
Ageasserted that MIR. Hale had procured his
nomination by corrupt and dishonorable
means. that it was not binding, and that
he would be defeated. Now it advocates
his election. The records of ourna lism
furnish no parallel case of craven self
abasement. Having held up Mr.. Hale to
public exccration, as a Representative
who abused his trust, created useless pub
lie offices for his personal advantage. and
misused public funds to corrupt his con-
stituents, it now wears collar engraven
with his name, and vaunts his purity and
fitness for office! Why, the very facts of
the case themselves are sufficient proof of
our charge that Mr. Hale is using money
profusely, and every intelligent man finds
in it the secret of the right-about face of
the Age. 1t was simply bought for a
price.
The Age asks what we know about the
use of money by Mr.. Hale to obtain votes
Or influence. Our reply is that the earliest
info rmation which the public had or we
had came from the columns of the Age.
In the article which we copy in another
column Mr.. Hale is accused of an ipten

are always drawn in favor of the contractors,
that in case of dispute they always get the

Fraudulent Voting.

1t has come to our knowledge that the I'M
scrupulous government managers at Vinal-
haven, in Knox County, are to attempt gigan
tic fraud in that town, by undertaking to vote
workmen having no residence, and foreigners
not naturalized, and by these means carry the
representative district, and do what they can to
reduce the Democratic maj GRITTY in that County.
We are authorized to say that the Democrats
have thoroughly organized that town, and that
a committee has been appointed to watch the
polls, and to present the names of every person
voting illegally to the grand jury, and from our
knowledge of the County Attorney we can
safely predict that every such case will meet
with prompt investigation and punishment to
the utmost extent Of our stringent laws.

Our friends are cautioned against the
tricks Of the enemy to get the wrong votes
into their hands. One of them will be to
have limitations OF the Demo cratic vote

Democrat on his way to the polls, adroitly
it, Look out for that trick Be sure you
