1lr. Shows card-,yas it Forgery.


There is just one item in the campaign
sheet, the publication of which was begun in
this city yesterday, that deserves notice. Ii
makes the statement that the card published
in these columns several days since from Mr..
j. L. Snow, was entirely unauthorized by
that gentleman, that he did not subscribe to
the sentiments therein contained, but that the
whole thing was gotten up at the Journal
Office, and published without Mr.. Snow S
knowledge or consent.
The charge is a serious nc--that OF
/ FoRGERY!.
Now let us state very plainly the facts, in
order to satisfy the public that we are not
guilty Of that crime. On Thursday after
noon Of last week an hour or two after the
delivery of the Maine Standard to its city
subscribers, Mr. Snow called US into his store
and in explicit terms stated his indignation
and surprise at seeing his name attached to a
call for convention to put in nomination a
candidate against Mr.. Blaine, AMI asked us
to write card for publication, explaining
that he had signed the call under a msappre
hension Of the object Of the same; that he
was republican,, should vote for all the
nominees of the party, &c. We assured him
that we would gladly publish the card, but
would prefer that he would write it himself.
He said he was not used TO the business, "
and az matter of accommodation we penned
the card, previous to which Mr.. Snow urged
! us to put it as strong as we pleased, and
| he "would back it up" These were his own
words. We did write the card, and did put
| it strong as we meant to; returned 10 Mr..
Snow stand and told him exactly the pur-
port Of it, and he assented to it, word for
word, and requested its publication.
| This simple statement of facts would seem
to clear Us from the charge Of FORGERY be-
fore any fair and honest tribunal. But we
do not ask this new retailer of ISLANDERS, that
has appeared in our community in the form
of Il ".iberal republican" news aper, TO take
our word for the truth OF these statements, but
call Mr.. j. I. Snow himself to the stand =
Mr.. SNOW did YOU authorize the drawing
up and publication Of the card in Tie Journal
of Friday morning last; do you stand by and
