of the Standards article as will enable

1t would be better for. the country to have
Grant for President, though drunk every day,
than to have Greeley President, though So
ber.,--kennebec Journal July l6, 1872.
So yon prefer to support for high office
irunkards instead Of sober men, do you? So
yen prefer sin and sinners to righteous men
and saints; refer devils to angels, and would
vote for Satan, if he were nominated by your
party (and he would be. if at all. in prefer
ence to the Savior of the world, opposed to
your party? How can you expect people to
believe in your professions Of virtue, religion
and temperance, when you thus openly, and
we judge, unguardedly, declare that you pre-
fer vile drunkard for the Presidential Office
to consistent temperance man of wisdom
and soberness? What becomes of all your
denuhciatgbns of President Johnson's habit
Of drinking and the long discourses of the
clergy upon the evil effects on the youth of
TIC l6Lu euCH iusu VI iHtSmpei-
ance? Shame on a newspaper which thus
avows its faith in drunkards for high and re-
sponsible official postions"
There is half column more of the
same sort, but the above will suffice to
show how the Standard was exercised and
what it labored to do.
Now in order TO show the case fairly
we reproduce what the Kennebec Journal
did say touching the subject which moved
the Standard so fearfully. We said:
In choosing between two men for Office rep
resenting the same principles and equal IN
other respects, but one temperance man
and the other opposed, WE SHOULD PRE-
FER THE TEMPERANCE MAN and so
probably would ninety-nine in every hundred
So far as this may apply to Grant and Gree |
ley, we think THEY STAND EQUAL ON
THE TEMPERANCE QUESTION. Presi-
dent Grant has been basely slandered as to
his habits. We published letter from cler-
gyman in Washington the other day upon this
matter. But it would be better for the coun-
try to have Grant for President, though drunk
every day, than to have Greeley President,
though sober.
We presume the Standard had not rea d
the whole article, and that its fears and
excitement will be allayed after doing so
in the above paragraph. Now will the
Standard answer us couple of questions.
Would it not have been better for the
country in the time Of the rebellion to
have had Lincoln for President, though
drunk every day, than to have had JEFF
Davis President, though sober?
Is drunken editor who accuses the
President of the United States of being
drunk upon a public occasion. in II fit con-
dition to be a Judge of the condition of
others, or better authority than those who
were sober and know that his statement
is q base falsehood?

The Cleveland Daily Leader reminds the
public of fact which ought not to be lost
sight of, and which is of some nteres in its
bearings on the present political contest
The New York Tribune, which was and is
now. under the supreme editorial control of
Horace Greeley, accepted from Tweed, Con-
molly, Mayor Hall 4 Co., a New York city
advertising contract, ranging from $50, 900
to 500, 900 per annum, with the tacit under
standing that the Tribune was to say nothing
about the gigantic expenses of the city gov
eminent and frauds of the above-named
managers. The Tribune kept its part of the
contract til it was compelled to speak out by
the tremendous force of public opinion, six
weeks after the Times made its expose of the
fact that the Tammany ring had stolen $20,-
900 600 from the public treasury. Mr.. Gree
ley, as Tribune stakeholder, pocketed his
share OF the bride. Is it any wonder that the
Tammany thieves, Tweed, Connolly, Swee-
ney, Hall, Brennan " God and the rest. should
have celebrated the nomination of Greeley
with rejoicing, as they did, yes,erdayf"

ARE THERE ANY TAKERSs

We see that "Ex-Governor" CD Pills
bury and future Governor" kimball have
been making themselves ridiculous in New
York by assuring Mr.. Greeley that he
would receive the electoral vote of Maine
Now the Democratic party of Maine con-
tains many betting men who are always
ready to make dollar if they can, by
accepting a wager. What does it mean
therefore. that bet proposed in our col
umns several days since finds no taker
up to this time That proposition for q
'bet" we now repeat, correcting it in one
or two particulars, 50 as to make it con-
form exactly to what the gentleman put
ting up the money desires. 1t is rs fol-
lows:
$1,000 That the Electoral vote of Maine
will be given to Grant and Wilson!
500 that Grant carries the State by one
thousand majority; 800 that he carries
it by two thousand majority; 800 that
he carries it by three thousand majority,
and so on, 500 on every thousand ma
jority up to and including $4,000.
This makes $500 in all and the money
is on deposit in the Granite National Bank
of this city. As the gentleman putting
up the money does not reside in this city
any one proposing to take the bet will
please leave word at this office or at the
Granite Bank.
We do not wish it to be understood that
we are ourselves advocates of betting.
We never indulge in it; we never advise
it. But at the same time our columns
shall not be closed against those who wish
to show that Democratic propositions for

Manufacture Of Envelope.

One Of the most interesting ne
chanical novelties TO be seen at the
International Exhibition in London,
is the envelope machine Of Fenner d
Co, oftbat city. All the maual la
Dor, that IS required in attending 20
the machine is limited to the sup
PLY from time to time Of pile Of en-
velopes blanks, and the oecasiOnafre-
moving and banding Of the finished
envelopes. Thus the entire and va
rious processes, Of feeding, cumming,
stamping, folding, delivery and collec-
ton, are performed automatically by
a series Of mechanical operations de-
vised with the utmost ingenuity and
carried out In perfection the machine
withal being excessively compact and
well arranged
The pile of envelope blanks being
placed in position on plate at onc
end Of the MACHINE. which NAV De-
done either at rest or in motion, the
feeding process Is effected by the SIM
pie aid Of intermittent suction. IN
elastic tube has a trumpet-shaped
brass mOuthpiece which deseends on
the uppermOst blank, and at the mo
ment Of contact the air is exhausted By
a stroke Of the air-pump, when the
rises with the blank at
tacbed, the suction being maintained
just sufficiently long TO enable the
arm and grippers, rapidly projected
from the other side Of the machine.
TO seize the blank when the mouth
piece ceases and the arm shoots back,
drawing the blank into position over
the folding box and there rapidly re-
leasing it. At this moment. the
is effected by the action Of q
hammer and die, and the gum is ap-
piled in due place on the edges Of the
side flaps, whereupOn plunger head.
of the rectangular form and size OF
the envelope, deseends, carrying the
blank down into the folding box the
flaps thus raised into a vertical posi-
ton, are then enclosed and folded
down in proper sequence by slides
working in the thickness Of the fold
ing box; and finally the bottom Of
the box rises and completes the Oper-
alton by pressing the slides so that
the edges are made sharp and the adj
hesi0n i effected and secured The
slides are then withdrawn. and the
bottom Of the folding box drops. al
lowing the envelope to drop in a YER
tiele position into the delivery trough
running across the ma
chine, wherein, by a simple eontri-
vance ank combination Of guides. hol-
ders, and pressers, the envelopes a.
they drop from the folding box are
successfully, uniformly, and regular
" arranged, and worked along the
trough ready for removal and band
ing up by the attendant.
These manifold. operations are sue
eeSsively and successfully wrought
with such speed, and almost simuIta-
neitv, that the finished envelopes are
turned cut complete at the rate of50
per minute or 5000 per hour.
