MASSACHUSETTS POLITICs. The Re
publicans Of Massachusetts, at their
recent State Convention, at Worcester
nominated Thomas Talbot, for GOV
ernor, the present incumbcrant who IS
radical, prohibitory Liquor-aw man
and the "approvcr' Of the iyranmical
State ConstaIulary Law. No other
States in the Union hut Maine, Yer.
mont, and Massachusetts couid eject
men in favor of such outrageous
measures. But they are steadtast and
reliable Republican States, and that
accounts for it. Benz. +, Butler, has
been rcnominated by the Republicans
of his District for Congress, Enough
said,
The Democracy Of Boston held a
grand enthusiastic meeting to rqtify
the State ticket in Music Hall, on Sat
urday evening the 10th inst. 1t was
ably addressed by the President, the
Hon. VIM. W. Warren, the Hon,
John X. Tarbot, the Hon. Charles
Levi Woodbury., and others.

Tine Democratic estimate in re
gard to Arkansas, from the returns
already in, is that 100000 votes were
cast in the late election, being Che
largest number ever polIcd in the
State, and that the Constitution and
Democratic State ticket were carried
by $4,000 majority,
According to the latest returns
the Democrats will have a good work
ing majority in the Indiana Legisla
ture. The Democratic majority in the
State is $4,000. The Congressional
delegation stands eight Democrats tc
five Republicans,
The Democratic majority on thi
State ticket in Ohio is 10000. and tht

Our Candidate for Congress.

1t seems that the Democracy of this
Congressional District are to have
more than one candidate i'll the field
at the next election.
We named in our last issue Judge
Perrin Of West Randolph. as our
man" for the position and a cores
pendent in the same paper mentioned
the Hon. Alexander M'Lane for the
place. Both of whom are good reli-
able Democrats and would do honor
to the party, the District and the State
if elected. We don't wish to go back
on our esteemed friend Judge Perrin,
nor to say anything against Mr.. NJ
Lane, and therefore have to request
every Democrat in the District to GO
and vote at the next trial for one OF
the above named candidates or some
other substantial Democrat. We can
give no better advice than this until
our District Committee fill the van
cancy caused by the withdrawal and
detection of G. n. Davenport. Their
"mandate" we shall feel bound to
obey. That is if the candidate named
is an unhlnchlng Democrat. This Is
our position on the matter.
Since writing the above, the Com
mittee, with whom it was left to fill
vacancies, met at White River June
ton, and put the Hon. Alexander
MLane of Fairlee, in the field, MI.
MLane is capable, honest, true Dem
ocrat, a tiller of the soil, and he ought
to receive the vote Of every true free
man. The Committee has issued an
excellent address which will found in
another column.

The Governors annual message
to the Legislature, now in session is
more noted for what it did not say
than for what it did say. The com
merits of the Montpelier Argus d Pat.
riot. upon the document are true and
apt. The Legislature has not done
any very big or important things yet.

Unnecessary expenses at the
White House. n. Y. iSuu, Glib.
eral Republican, in speaking of the
annual expenses at the Presidents
House, which have increased to the
enormous sum of ST, $50, besides the
Presidents increased salary of $780,
0OO-making the total expense of that
establishment $127,6G0, says:--
This aggregate is three times
larger than Mr.. Lincoln received dur
ing the war, when the necessary ex-
penses of the White House were much
heavier than they are now by the depre-
citation of the currency. Many of
these appropriations far exceed the
cost Of the objects for which they are
nominally made, and the excess is ap-
piled to other purposes Of the house
hold, by which 50 much money is saw
ed from the Presidents salary, and
thus becomes a source of indirect prof
it to him personally.
For example, to suppose that the
"green-house" requires an expenditure
Of $4,000 ayear is simply absurd.
So, too, the item Of $4,000 for fuel.
So, too, for ''repairs," $4,000. And
so, too, the "refurnishing," $4,000,
when the White House has been
furnished from top to bottom before
he entered it, and it was not possible
there could be such destruction every
year as to demand this enormous
grant,
