4 F4LSEHOOD ANSWERED.

The letter does not, in the slightest degree, al
feet the statement made by us that Blaine had
sold worthless railroad stock to the late \. w.
johnson, and that his heirs had commenced suit
to recover the money so paid. The letter of Mr.
Hszeltiue does not in the least contradict these
statements. "-KaiBt .Standayd.
The letter of Mr.. lIazeltine to Pilsbury
asking him to correct his statement says :
"Alow me now as one of the executors OF MI
Johnsons estate, to say that your information is
ENTIRELY ERRONEOUS.
4'Should | remain silent under the circum-
stances, | would seem to give my assent to the
TRUTH ofMe charges"
There never was ;he slightest truth in
the statement that The executors OF Mr..
johnson sued Mr.. Blaine, CT proposed to
sue him, or thought OF sueing him. Pills
bury mas no authority Tor the statement.
1t is a lie, and be knows it is lie, and he
himself invented and concocte4 the lie.
And Mr. Hazeltine's letteI-the letter of
an honest dcmocrat-shows Pillsbury to
be an egregious and unconscionable liar in
the whole matter.

PRINCIPLES COMPARED
REPUBLIC.f.v DOCTRE1'E.

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 enfOr 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 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. Connor at the Republican State Con-

Pennington Wednesday. The Chronicle
says: General Conner spoke sin an ear
nest and eloquent manner. His speech
breathed spirit of reconciliation and
charity, while it was a most convincing
appeal to the republicans to adhere to
their organization, and to the people to
prove true to the party that had saved the
nation and preserved the union. His re-
marks were listened TO with the closest at.
tention, and he closed amid great applause
Hon. j. G. Blaine followed in a most ad

which permitted the soldiers of Maine to vote in

II was, however, the misfortune ofyour military

Hooker said that "EVERY OFFICER WAS IN
DISPENSABLE TO HIS COMMAND" You

A YEAR-and when the fortunes of the army and
of the Union itself were at the lowest conceivable
ebb. No patriotic man can even now, after the
lapse of thirteen years. recall without chill of
horror the condition of the Union cause in 1862 :;
our army driven from Virginia, after the untold
disasters ofthe Peninsula; held at bay everywhere
in the Southwest; Kentucky and Missouri in par
tial revolt; with such a discouraging reaction
among the people as to very nearly involve the
loss of Congress and the consequent power to
raise armies and levy taxes. Then aoas our pecul-
lar and momentous peril. And it was JUST
THEN, General, THAT YOU TURNED YOUR
BACK ON THE UNION CAUSE. Ana you

failure.

In the Presidential struggle of that year, you
earnestly opposed MIR. Lincoln and joined with
the yenomous and disloyal hordes who abused and
vilhfed that greatest and best friend Of the SOL
der. You publicly united with those who de
c'ared the tcar a future as it would have been,
General, had all the soldiers followed the example
set by yourself. You openly affiliated with the
desperate faction that "dfnanded an immediate
cessation Of hostiities,' at the very moment when
sherman had taken Atlanta and was preparing for
his grand March to the Sea, and when Grant was
drawing his deadly lines closer and closer around
Richmond ard Petersburg. You were the zeal
GUS co-worker with Emery, who rejoiced in every
