The journal editor doesn't denv that he was
hired q support Jameson but denies that the
jameson organ twitted him of it, and saws that
Mr.. Thompson the publisher saws that nothing
IKE that ever appeared in its columns. We
call Tor the production of the files OF that pa

Age.
Let US settle one thing at d time. After
having driven the Age into its hole on the
subject Of the Jameson organs declara-
ton, as we propose to do, we will then
state what is denied and what isn't.
There's nothing we admire more than a
positive malone who, when he knows
thing, knows it for certain. And here
we find one. The editor of the Age is
certain that the Jameson organ said what
he alleges it did, and "will point it out in
ten minutes" That is admirable Now
we are going to put a hundred dollars IN
to the pocket of the editor OF the Age, by
very easy process. Our proposition IS
this
We will deposit with W g. Marshall,
Esq, Mayor of this city the sum Of one
hundred dollars The editor of the Age
shall deposit with him like sum We will
then also deposit with the Mayor com.
plete file OF the Bangor Times for 1861.
the year when Gen. Jameson was nomin-
ated. The editor OF the Age shall then
have one week in which to examine the
file. If within that time he satisfies the
Mayor that his statement is true the
5000 shall be paid to him II he fails in
that time to satisfy Mr. Marshall of the
correctness of his charge, Mr. NJ shall
pay back the 500 we deposited, and nav
the other 500 to the trustees of the John
son Charitable Fund, to be added to their
expenditures for the year
1t will be seen that there is no possible
chance tor US to gain one cent. If the
editor of the Age has told the truth. he
can make a hundred dollars more easily
than he ever did before, He is perfectly
sure that the statement is there, and "will
engage to point it out in ten minutes
And we are the person that wishes to en-
gage him to do it in one week. at good
wages
We await a reply. Shall we have it?

less Spain refuses to apologize and renumerate
the outrage on Steamer Florida. The President

The Cincinnati Enquirer very oppor-
tunely reminds the country that, in the
fall of 1889, Martin Van Buren, was far
stronger candidate tor President than Gen.
Grant is now. His re-elect on was claim
ed by one side, and hardly denied by the
other, as certainty. Yet the elements
of opposition We're such that he was over
whelmlngly beaten, We shall find that
confronting the Grant party is much
easier thing than meeting the Republl
cans--that the one Is by no means synonv-
nous with the other. The cool and wise
heads among the Republicans, knowing
Grants extensive unpopularity, are very
averse to his denomination, and we have
often feared they would yet push him from
the track. We want Grant to run, be-
cause he is by far the easiest beaten.

At the late election in Florida the Dem

however, special elections have been held
in some half-dozen counties for members
of the Legislature, and in every case the
Democratic candidate is reported success

The Iron Ship Humbua.

The Iron Ship Humbug.
1t Is very rarely the case, when wrong
is perpetrated, that some excuse cannot
be found and urged III its defence. There
has scarcely ever been in the history OF
governments, certainly not in the history
OF this country, anything SO impolitic and
glaringly wrong, as the course pursued
towards the great shipbuilding industry
of New England 1t is utterly without
palliation, and those who conduct the af-
fairs of the government know it as we'll as
any one. Never before did a government
official put forth anything 50 humiliating
as the statement of Secretary Boutwell,.
that the great carrying trade of this coun-
shipowners, and that we can do nothing
to prevent it. And more absurd than all
the rest is the assumption OF the Secretary,
which Gov Perham repeats in his mes
sage, that iron ships are depressing Amer
lean commerce. Iron vessels are by no
means the novelty that they are there
stated to be. They have been tried in
this country repeatedly, and found not to
possess the qualities that wooden vessels
do. Twenty-Five years ago iron steamers
ran on the route between Bangor and
Boston How well they answered the
purposes OF that trade is answered by the
fact that not one is now in use on the
whole eastern coast, and that the splendid
fleets of wooden steamships of the San
ford and other companies, are all that can
be wished for the purposes of trade
strong, swift, safe and durable
While the radical party is clinging to
this tiimsy excuse, for its shameful op-
preston of the shipping interest, and the
Secretary OF the Treasury is officially pro
claiming that the business must be aban-
doned, the English themselves, to whom
the administration is conceding the entire
dominion OF the seas through iron ships.
