London, which arrived in the Thames from AIDE

event which recently occurred at sea- On the 9th

ing the name of Jessie Osborne, and was hailed
by the Captain of the latter ship, who reported
that of his crew had gone mad that for five
days the maniac had stationed himself aloft, and
that nothing could induce him to return on deck.
The Captain further reported that the madnan had
armed himself with large chisel, with which he
was cutting the ropes, and that the boatswain had
tried to bring him down. The maniac, however,
threw block at the boatswain, knocking him on
the deck and breaking his arm. and leg. As
matter of safety to his vessel and rev, the Cap

necessary to shoot the maniac, and after consuta-

PRINCIPLES COMPARED
REPUBLICAN, DOCTRI.vE.

The maintenance of the high standing of
the credit of the State; the promotion of the
Development of its agricultural ana manufac-
turing resources; the extension of educational
facilities; the prohibition by law
Of the sale Of Intoxicating liq.
uOrs and the enf0r cement Of
that law; the equitable adjustment of the
burden of taxation, and the tightening Of that
burden to the fullest extent; and, in all, the
exercise of that rigid economy that admits Of
no outlay for purposes of doubtful utility, and
demands q full equivalent for every expendi-
ture; these are the objects the Republican
party of Maine has had steadily in view, the
pervading principles of its common law, and
they all have the hearty support of my con-
viction and my sympathy From the Speech
Of Gen. Common at the Republican State Con-
vention, accepting the nomination for Gov
ernor.'

PAPER CREDITS.

With great swagger Mr.. Pillsbury
"stumps" everybody, as the boys would
say, to tell where and when Mr.. Blaine
ever said one word in opposition to Paper
Credits. 1t is quite true that Mr. Blaine
never wrote letter to the Maine Standard
on the subject, but in his modest sphere
In the House OF Representatives he did
happen to introduce an amendment to an
Army Bill, the design of which was to ut
terly cut off all opportunity for Papo-
Credit swindles. And in introducing the
amendment he made quite speech on
the subject, not much of a speech to be
sure for such an orator as Pilsbury, but still
a very good speech for Mr. Blaine. Tha.
speech OF course was never printed in the
Maine Standard,an never will be; but it
is in the Congressional Globe, and we ven
ture here to give an extract from it. Mr..
Blaine, after describing the evil of the re-
cruiting swindlcs, said
1.-The amendment which | have offered is de-
signed to correct this evil, to cut it up by the
roots and bring back recruiting to an honest mcr-
itorons ana parlotc EFFORT 10 MI the rauRs OF our
| gallant army with men and not with the shad-
owy fctons which pass under the general name
| of paper credits We have witnessed with amaze
ment the quotas of entire cities and districts, and
| do not know but states ALSO technically filled
without adding single man TO the effective mill
tary force of the nation"
OF course at the very time Mr.. Blaine
was denouncing Paper Credits in Con-
gress and securing legislation to eXtirpate
the practice, he was himself busily en-
gagged in the swindle Why, certainly he
was in partnership at that very time with
the Democratic Paper Credit brokers in
Augusta, and Pillsbury's Keyho.c witness
can tell you all about it :.

We would respectfully suggest to the
republican State Committee that they take
means to secure the largest possible circu-
lation of the Maine Standard among the
respectable and thinking people of the
State. as the surest method of disgusting
them with the existing type of Maine de-
mocracy. We are aware that person who
should offer such vilainous sheet to de-
cent man who had once seen it would stand
sharp chance of vigorous kicking, but
some personal annoyance should be en-
countered for the sake of exhibiting to the
public the vileness and desperation of the
fellows who, in spite of repeated repudia-
ton by the better classes of their own par
ty, have again thrust themselves into lead
ership. The nastiness and utterly stupid
mendacity of one such creature as Pills
bury are more damaging to his party than
any efforts which could be made by its OPP
ponents; and this is well under stood by
those who would like to be democrats
without ceasing to be respectable, and
who wish him at the bottom of the abyss
of oblivion. His latest illumination at Mr..
Blaine is so thoroughly puerile that the
Argus simply prints it without word OF
comment. The late organ of the New
Departure and the Young Democracy
evidently holds its nose while compelled
