Political Outlook in Maine.

The Maine correspondent of the Boston
Journal, "Toby Candor, who is looking
over the State, sends that paper letter from
Calais, dated July 24th, from which we
copy:
This city is the stronghold of Greeleyism
in Washington county, and it is here where
il will prove the most signal hasco in Eastern
Maine. 1t is no mere surmise when we state
that after looking over the situation the hands
are few in number to be clasped across the
"bloody chasm." Nevertheless, we find the
braggart's boast md the gaseous pretensions
that, in the pretended revolution taking place.
Calais, which gave Grant in the last presi-
Dental contest a majority of 1856, and Perham
for Governor last year a majority of 222, viii
go back on her record and pronounce for the
Chappaqua sage. Ii is true that MI st d s.
perate effort is making to secure such II re-
suit, but the republicans are alert and active
Greeley list of republican names which we
have seen has been most carefully canvassed
and reduced considerably in numbers. The
r, b i \ eli of the Baltimore Convention dosent
seem to find response in the hearts Of quite
as many as the Greeley leaders claim. AS
proof that their claims are unwarranted, we
find that it is somewhat doubtful If Benjamin
! Young, who has been made President OF
it is that John B. Horton, one OF the wee
Presidents. will vote for Grant. When this
club was organized the other night only nj
teen were present Among those claimed to
have been ensnared into membership are L.
C. Gatss, who will go for Grant, and Ex-
MAYOR Williams, who will do the same, and
who is indignant because he is claimed for
Greeley. The fact is, as we are told, more
than half of those claimed as belonging to
the club have had their names used without
permission, and wsll go for Grant. The
venerable Joseph A. Granger is claimed for
Greeley, when he is outspoken tor Grant.
And so we might go on and speak of others
whose positions are falsely represented
In the surrounding towns we meet with the
same results. In Steuben, Addison, Colum-
bia, Columbia Falls, Beddington, Princeton,
Robbinston, and other towns which might be
mentioned, there are few, if any, Greeley re-
publicans.
But few of those republicans who have
gone over have any political influence, while
the principal workers are disgruntled, be-
cause they have either failed 10 getting office,
or because they have found that their ser
vices were no longer needed in office.

The so-called liberal republican democratic
mass meeting at Fairfield, Friday night,
proved complete fzzle. The 'big guns of
the evening, Fitzpatrick and Tilton, failed to ap
pear. 1t was announced that they were "sick."
An effort was made at Skowhegan to collect
q crowd to attend the meeting. w. NJ. E.
Brown and other "come- cutters" wrote to the
headquarters OF the railroad company asking
if the company would run an extra train from
Skowhegan to Fairfield, to accommodate ''the
masses" that wished to attend the meeting.
But the loss in running the train from Dexter
to the Bangor meeting, had convinced the
managers of the railroad that it was best to
have some guarantee against loss in this case.
So Brown was notified that the train would
be run If he would guarantee the sum of $50.
Extra drumming up of the faithful was resort
ed to. flaming posters were scattered through
out the town; extra cars were run up to
Skowhegan, 80 that there should be no lack
of accommodations but after all these ex-
ertions, just forty -one tickets were sold at
kowhegan, and the entire number on board
the trsin from that place was forty Ave, ten
of whom were undoubted republicans.
few got aboard at Pishon's Ferry, but when
tie bill came to be footed up with the rail-
road company, Brown and his associates
found themselves out of pocket to the tune
of Sl45O And the worst 'sell' of all, was
the intellectual table spread at Fairfield. In
stead of the "siver-tongu d orator of New
York." and the eloquent Fitzpatrick" the au-
dience were compelled to listen to the rant
ings of Eben F. Pillsbury. Didn't they go
home mad, though!

The Standard Still Furious.

EDITOR Journal: The Standard writer is
still angry and incoherent and crying ''idiot,'
"madman," "erratic individual" as loud as
his whining voice will permit, suggests with
more sense than usual that the Insane asylum
is a fl place for any one who takes notice
enough of his mouthings to reply to them at
ALL 1t may be of little use but is sometimes
duty to notice the smallest and noisest crea-
lures. In one thing he is fortunate; from the
nature of the case his friends need have no
fears of his insanity. Wi h the snapping tur-
tie and other cold blooded creatures, he is
perfectly safe. There must be brain to suffer
from disease. One might suppose him. from
the fury with which he snarles, likely to be
taken to another State institution further East
an the Insane or Military asylums, but alas,
the well paid orderly who called together the
men Of Starks IL battle array, and won and
wore the laurrls of Militia Lieutenant so
valianily in the town square, but failed to
appear with those of her sons who went to
the war, is now as then as weak in deeds a.
noisy and abusive In words, and so may es-
cape constraint and live to annoy society for
some time to come, unless he- perish from
over putting of his nordinate vanity or choke
from his own i'll temper. sr
