remember, however, that good organiza-

Had any enc number Of the Age appeared with
the falsehood the scurility and abuse which every

would have supposed the editor had gone crazy.
Augusta owes to the advent of Mr.. Pillsbury, a
new style of editorial writing, one that to my per-
sonal knowledge is fully as obnoxious to many OF
the old-school democrats, as TO the members Of
the republican party.
As to my own connection with the loyal Mu-

bonds.
The sums of money thus voted by the city were
due, and paid equally and impsrtally to all.
Why Mr.. Blaine should not be treated just the
same as others in this matter, l am at a loss to
know. That was before Mr.. Blaine entered
Congress and Mr.. Pilisbury has repeat
eddy assured US that he was Every poor
man" then so that he must have been specially
in need of the money which was only fractional
part of what he paid for a substitute.
Mr.. Blaine has been citizen of Augusta for
nearly twenty five years and during all that time
as every resident knows, he aas always been iden-
tilted with everything pertaining to the interest of
the city. Without distinction of party or Sect his
fellow citizens proud of him and delight in his
merited success. There are a few notable excep-

Last fall the contest was between the
republican party and the opposition. This
wear and next it will be between the re-

can be little well-grounded doubt AS to the
result. The republican party is being re-
organized, aud all that is essential to Sc
cure its success is The polling OF its full

the democratic party, and the indications
of revival of the old time enthusiasm
