The Democratic Nomination.
PORTIAyD Tune II 1875

w. II. Simpson, Esq:
My Dear Sir,-I have read carefully the arti-
Gle in your paper of last week, urging the De-
mocracy of Maine to again tender me the NOM
inatiOn for Governor, and for me to accept it,
with your very flattering estimate of my past
services, &c. all of which places me under
still greater obligations to you.
The Democracy of Maine have three times
honored me with a unanimous nomination for
and earnest support. That they did not sue
coed was by no means their fault.
The kind and generous consideration l re-
ceived at the hands of my friends. as we'll as
the very far treatment from my political oppo-
nents, have awakened in my heart the most
sinceresregard for the people of Maine, and
forced me to personally resolve to spend the
balance of my days in my native State, and Ia
Dor earnestly for what believe to be the great
est good of the people. And yet cannot help
feeling that life is too short for me to hope that
I may even one half repay the kindness shown
TO me during the past few years.
The Democracy have done all and more for
ME than deserve, and do not desire the nom.
ination this year as a compliment or for any
other purpose, as it is we'll known that I had
long since finally decided that under no consid-
Grafton could accept the nomination. This
determination remains unchanged. therefore
leave the field open for you to select some one
more worthy and able than myself to become
your standard bearer.
With a thousand thanks to you, my dear sir,
and to all my good friends who have SO carr
estly and so generously supported me the past
few years, and my best wishes for your health
and prosperity, | remain,
Yours with esteem,

LO. The Poor Indian.

As to the disposition to be made of the cap
tured and surrendered Modocs, various opinions
prevail and it seems to be decided to hand
them over to the civil authorities. Whether
government takes charge of the affair or the
civil authorities determine whether they are
murderers or prisoners of war, ifregarded and
held as prisoners of war they deserve as good
treatment as the leaders of the rebel lion, and
have done no more-nor as mnch harm to the
government as JEFF d. 8, Co. They may be
treacherous, but perhaps no more SO than many
white people. We are not for clearing MUIR
derer, but as they do not know what to do with
the remnant of this tribe now they are captur-
ed, we cannot see why they should be hunted
down with the cry of determination, any more
than the rebels against our government. The
Southerners swore they would fight to the last.
They actually murdered our soldlers taken as
prisoners! They killed the President of our ma
ton! They only surrendered because they could
hold out no longer, and not because of peni-
tence; and there are among them those with
burning hearts of political envy and hatred, and
whiskey-dred anger, who would enter the field
of strife again. But this poor unlearned hand
full of Indians have had the verdict of
determination pronounced on them for doing,
to us many grievances, but small in compari-
son to what the southern people have done one
hundred to one against light and a knowledge
of better things.
Punish for crime, we say-Fnlfill the law on
the guilty, but not partially. MINos.

AT meeting ofthe Massachusetts Tenn
perance Alliance in Boston, Wednesday, the
President, ex-L lieut. Gov. Trash, of anti-tobac-
co tract fame, saw fit to introduce the ques-
ton of the governorship of that State, and to
make little speech in advocacy of the
claims of Gen. Butler for that Office, in
warm speech in which he attempted to show
how good and great temperance man the
father of the back salary grab is, and how
promptly he would enforce the liquor law.
This was fire-brand, and the good author of
the anti-tobacco tracts found that he had STIR
red up hornets nest. Several members
had the rashness to declare that Butler was
not good man, and others limited that they
would not vote for the man who did most to
outrage the nation in forcing through the sal
ary.steal, and then snapped his fingers at those
protesting against it, in i'll concealed triumph.
One member was opposed to making tenn
perance candidate of any man, who was not
himself a professed temperance mana very
good point. So it turned out that Mr.. Trask
wos the only member who had the rashness
to advocate the claims of Gen. Butler, for
Governor of Massachusetts,. The whole pro-
ceeding and the earnest protest of large
number of the speakers, are among the rapid
ly increasing evidences that the sober intelli-
gent purpose of Massachusetts men is not to
make Gen. Butler their chief magistrate.
