ATTEND THE CAUCUSES.

Every republican voter should exercise
the privilege and right which he has to
take part in the caucuses of his party. ii
he does not it is fairly to be presumed that
he is willing to leave to those who do at
tend the caucuscs the responsibility OF
managing them, and should consider
himself as much bound to support their
action as though he were an active men,
Der. There is great deal said about the
unfairness of caucuses, and new modes of
making nominations are frequently pro-
posed to remedy defects in the caucus
system. Were the voters to attend the
caucuses there would be less complaint
of the system. The fault is more in
them than in it.
Boiling nominations is a desperate ex-
pedient in the life Of a party, to which the
best men resort if ever with the most ex-
IRENE reluctance. If the caucuses and
conventions are attended as they should
be their decisions will be conclusive and
binding upon the party and afford no
possible pretext for boiling. We advise
voters to pay no attention to suggestions
about boiling bad nominations, but to go
to the caucuses and conventions and help
make the nominations and then they will
be pretty sure to be right.

WHO IA VOR RECIPROCITY.

An editorial in the Progressive Age
says: "Who favors this proposed treaty
which is so prejudicial to the ship-building
interests of Maine? The democratic
party. 1t declares itself for free-trade,
generally. which not only throws open the
ports Of Maine to free-trade in ships but
to all other products. And this ruinous
policy is advocated by all the democratic
papers of the State. All the principal
democratic papers, the Argus. the Maine
Standard, the Republican Journal and the
Bangor Democrat, while they support the
free-trade resolve of the recent. demo-
cratic convention, especially advocate this
proposed treaty, and predict that it will
be ratified at the next session of Congress,
as it doubtless would be if the democratic
party could have the say. 1t behooyes
the people of this State to interpose a
prompt negative as far as they have the
power"

fact have no connection with the aforesaid
Bridgeford in any of their enterprises in this
city. We learn that the statement refers to
the quarries at Keen, n. H., with which Mr..
B0dwel is connected; and as he is President
Of the Hallowell Granite Company, the mis-
take gained publicity through that circum-
stance. With regard to the merits of the

THE SOUTHERN ELECTIONS.

The southern election returns represent
conservative gains and peace and order at
the polls. Wherever this conveys the idea
that the colored people have gone to the
polls as voters do in Maine, without in
timidation, voting for whom and what they
please, wrong impression is doubtless
made. Where the colored people are in
overwhelming strength they probably sue
coed in voting, but where they are in
sparsely settled districts and in minority
at the voting precints, they are kept away
from the polls by system of terrorism,
and the returns are manufactured in many
cases to suit the white manipulators pres
ent. A letter from Alabama published in
the Boston Journal of Thursday gives
some facts in relation to things political in
the South, which ought TO be seen by
every republican in the northern States.
In some quarters there is a great deal
of sympathy expressed for the whites of
the South, those of the conservative or
democratic stripe, but there is never a
word about the oppression and injustice
practiced upon the blacks. Let not re-
publicans however forget the colored peo-
pie, nor cease to give them the sympathy
aud aid which they stand in need Of in
their struggles to reach the full exercise
of the rights of free American citizens.
We copy from the journal:
"The republicans at the South feel quite
sore at many articles which they notice in pro.
fessed republican journals at the North,
founded upon the false representations Of
democratic and secession papers of this por
ton Of the country. The Northern pres

of the question. Since the organization of
White Leagues it is dangerous to be leading
republican at the South. Men are threatened
with death if they accept republican nomina-
tons. 1t is but few nights since that Chan
cellor Fielder of this vicinity was assailed with
bricks and stones for the crime of making a
republican speech, and when he took refuge
in the house of a friend, the windows were
smashed in. The Ku-kluX are On the ram
page agaiu, with scarcely an effort to check
them. They openly threaten to Kill every
colored man who shall dare to vote the repub-
lcan ticket and if you hear of great victories
for the ''whte ticket" where there is notori-
ously vast colored majority, you can guess
the reason. All theprcss dispatches sent from
here are in the interest Of the white Cypress
ors. They are determined that the amend
ments to the United States Constitutions shall
not be put in force, and, like their brethren at
the North, claim they are unconstitutional.
What are we to do? You tell us we have
republican majority and must take care Of
ourselves. OF what use is our majority!
Our men are largely Of race which has been
in abject slavery for centuries, and who have
never had fighting experience, besides being
peaceable by nature. very large portion OF
our opponents have served in the Confederate
army, for all, high and low, rich aud poor,
were compelled to 60 there. What chance
have we then, in a struggle of brute force,
even with our numerical strength? Plainly,
the colored people as a whole had rather lose
their vote than fight for it, though some may
demur and strike for their rights. Should
they do so, the act will be autographed every
where as ga brutal attack by negroes.
Another movement by the arist0cratic demo-
cracy at the South il to deprive the tolored
workingmen of employment if they do not
vote the democratic ticket. We all remem-
Der the indignation expressed by the northern
democratic organs when similar action toward

Nothings, and utterly repudiate the doctrine

another weakness besides his love Of

shed are his darling vices, and this
makes him rather diiicnlt to get on with
in matters OF business. The baker
therefore gave little hint to the police
as to his partners antecendents, and

versing unharmed Albania, Thessaly
and part of Thrace. Since his return
he has as yet robbed only three men and
murdered another, but it is expected
that he will before long display all his
former activity, unless compelled again
to retire into private life. He has, how
ever, many friends at Enos who feel for
him, in his misfortune, and are quite
ready to lend him helping hand.
