Current Notes.

Ben Wade thinks Ohio will go ga II right
this year." The Republicans will not be
foolishly over-confden:, and will be at the
polls. Mr.. Wade's opinion agrees with that
Of cool observers throughout the state. Bill
Allen and Sam Cary will be beaten beautiful
ly-not as badly as they deserve, but so con-
clusively that they will not be heard OF any
more. Gin cinnaH Commercial.
The Republicans never were more str ongly
intrenched in correct principles than in the
position they have taken respecting the cur
rency question in this canvass. Ali expert
ence, all history, all science, all common
sense are in their favor. A party having
clearly the right on its side needs only to
bravely espouse the righs and stand firmly by
it, and may safely let the offices take care of
themselves.-Oh State Journ al.
If this cheerful Jeremy Diddler philosophy
is approved by the votes Of Ohio at the cleo
tions this fall, it will be easier to draw blood
from the provelbial turnip than to engage
capital again in western enterprise.-Nep
York Tribune.
The North Star puts it thusly: "The only
reason why Aroostook's claims were not rec
ognized, was because her oflce-holders pre-
sented candidate repugnant to the moral
sense of the entire district, and any man who
denies this is either knave or an idiot. Let
the men of Penobscot and Pscataquis rest
assured that the real and tried friends of Re-
publican principles in this county will stand
shoulder to shoulder with the m in this work
of purifying the party. The county of Aroos-
took will give Plaisted such a majority at the
polls as will convince the last doubter that
her honest though humble people are true to
the principles OF honesty, integrity and pub
lie virtue"

Another Democratic Chieftain,

The most prominent of the Democratic
leaders in Ohio is Sam. Cary, who by reason
of his supreme qualifications as blatherskite
takes precedence even of Governor Allen in
the affections of the Democratic masses.
Cary was once, in naEe at least, Republi-
can. He took his first downward step in
1866, when he became an Independent"
Since then he has steadily gone to the bad,
and is now trusted standard-bearer cf the
rag-money party. The man was always
demagogue at bottom. Indeed his title of
general is peculiarly Democratic military
title, having been won as Paymaster- General
of some defunct militia organization. Like
our own Corporal Emery he is fond of using
the language of military orders.
This man Cary is the most active CAM
paigner the Democrats of Ohio possess, and
makes speeches nearly every day. In the
very opening of the canvass be assumed the
role of communist. That may account for
his popularity with the dishonest organization
which has put him in nomination. He began
by denouncing the ''bloated bond.holders,"
who were suffering from the general business
stagnation, that "It is the settled policy of
the Republican party TO build up system of
moneyed aristocracy, that few may control
the many-to have a government in which
the ruling class shall be men of money!
This nonsensical statement he has repeated
a every place where spoken
los 1.a do In ot a
ma, in which he assured his audience that
"the Republican party has enacted that the
man who don't work shall have plenty to eat.
and he who does work shall have nothing.
Every law and every financial measure, with
one exception has been enacted with direct
reference to putting tie burdens Of govern
ment upon the poor, and relieving the mon
eyed few OF all the burdens and taxation
from government They mean that The la
boring man shall get up at 5:20 in the morn
ing and work till 7:30 at night, in order that
the bondholder may lie in bed till 10 40 the
next morning." Further on he declared that
the payment of the 500 bonds in gold is
crime, and enuuciated startling communis-
tic doctrine in these words: ''Who should
ha We the luxuries of life unless the men who
create them? How you can tamely stand up
and see men rolling in wealth and luxury
drawn from the sweat of your brow and the
toll of your muscle-how you can do it and
maintain your temper is more than I can see."
On the currency question he took decided
tand, saying SIT is gold and silver currency
the Republican party is after. There can be
no such currency. 1t is impossible"
This blatant demagogue who appeals to the
ignorance and prejudice of his hearers, who
attempts to array class against class, the poor
against the rich, is the man whom the De.
mocracy of Ohio have nominated for high
Office, and whose election the argus unceas-
ingly advocates.

Very Unfortunate.

1t is very unfortunate thing for the DEM
ocratic leaders that their fellow citizens can
remember longer than decade. They make
such passing fine talk now about economy
and purity in the government and equal
rights for all, that at first we conclude that
they are the very elect of the political world
men without political sin, patriots from
their first mortal breath and reformers of the
most rigid type. One can hardly believe that
these same men who declare with such ap-
parent unction for equal rights to all men,
eleven years ago opposed a war to save the
nation because it would free four millions of
slaves; yet such is the fact. One would not
believe that these men who shout so loud for
purity in the government could possibly have
copcocted a plan 20 carry an election by the
free use of money and rum,-by purchasing
voters like sheep, only for less price per
head. Yet such is the fact If official reports
can he believed, an extract of one of which
relative to the Madawaska election frauds in
1858, we copy, this morning, from the Ken
nebec Journal. In business affairs, the gen.
tlemen whose names are mixed up with the
Madawaska election frauds are honorable;
socially they are most agreeable; but to carry
an election to endorse the Buchanan admin
istration, which had been using federal bayo-
nets for force slavery upon Kansas, they had
resort to measures which were fagrant viola
tions of law and inimical to the welfare of
our institutions.
In the years which have passed since that
time, have these gentlemen seen the error of
their active political life? Have they repent
ed their manifold and grievous sins in sack
cloth and ashes? Have the years of political
fasting which they have been forced to live
since Buchanan's time, been unto them a
means OF political grace? We hope so; but
as they have confessed none of their sins, but
on the other hand parade those Of their
neighbo-s, to say nothing of bearing false
witness against them, we greatly fear
that they are not in that humble and
contrite state of heart which betokens sorrow
for sins abandoned.

port u nplesaant Reading for Some

In the year 1S5s-iust seventeen years ago
there was very exciting contest in the old

took. The Republican candidate was Stephen
G. Foster Of Pembroke, and the Democratic
Candidate was Bion Bradbury Of Eastport. AS
the canvass waxed hot there were mutterings
and foreshadowings and some imprudent
boastings of an enormous and unprecedented
Democratic vote in Aroostook.
1t was understood that Bion Bradbury re-
lied upon james G. Madigan, then Custom
House officer at Houlton, as chief manipula-
tor of the Democratic vote. After the elec-
ton the frauds and brberies, and outrages were
so fagrant and so enormous that the Cover
nor of the State (Hon. Lot M. M0rrilD upon
the petition of certain inhabitants, dispatched
a special Agent to investigate the matter.
The gentleman selected for this important duty
was the Hon. James S. Pike of Calais since U.
S. Minister at the Hague.Mr. Pike made full
report which was laid before the Legislature
and the entire fraud was exposed. In that
fraud Mr.. Madigan had most unpleasant
prominence.
Mr. Madigan was sent to the Madawaska
region because he was Catholic and could
mix his religion with the politics required for
the occasion. To see how we'll he united the
two it is only necessary to recall the fact
stated by Mr. Pike in his official report that
"Mr. Madigan addressed the assembled vot
ers of the plantation on SUNDAY proceed
ing the election from the steps of the CATH
OLtC CHAPEL in Madawaska."
The particulars of Mr.. Madigans outrageous
conduct are given at some length in the re-
port of Mr.. Pike. The main features OF MT.
Madigan's extraordinary course on that occa-
sion are also given in an exhaustive report OF

THE argus is correct for once. The Re-
publican papers of Maine are anxious about
the Ohio election, anxious that the voters Of
this state shall not seem to encourage in the
least the rag-money heresy advocated by the
Democracy of Ohio. A Democratic gain in
Maine, no matter how trifing, would be re-
garded as an endorsement Of their policy by
the blatant demagogues and inflationists OF
Ohio. Every honest hard-money man
should bear this in mind. and vote accord
d;ngly.

The American Scientific Association has
been lending its great mind to the discussion
OF locusts considered as food. At Detroit
Tuesday, one scientist stated that locust was
favorite diet in Nineveh, that the Jews
liked the same food, and that it was dish of
much repute with the Romans. Prof. Riley
dwelt at some length upon the approved
methods of cooking the insects. The Romans
used to roast them to light golden yellow.
In Russia to-day they are sailed and smoked; ;
but the people of Morocco prefer them boiled.
The Professor has tried them various ways,
and finds that locusts roasted in their own
oil have pleasant, nutty favor,-something
like old sherry probably. They are very nice
fricasseed he says, and are also good in fritz
tiers. but give him grasshopper soup! At
the conclusion of his remarks the association
unanimously ordered for dinner boiled leg
of grasshopper, with capers.

THE little province Of Herzegovina, a strip
OF territory at the western extremity of Eu-
ropean Turkey, contains about 200, 900 inhab-
itants, Sclavic in blood and Greek in religion,
and the insulrection there has apparently
assumed the aspect of a revolt against the
domination of an alien and hereto race.
The rebellion grew out of resistance to the
Turkish tax-gatherers, but it promises 10 take
the dimensions of NOV ement for Sclavc
unity. Already uprisings are reported in
Bosnia and Cvoatia, and Belgrade is uneasy.
The Pan-Slcanic feeling IS strong, and the
birth of new nationality is not improbable.
All that depends upon the attitude taken by
the great European powers. Turkey will
certainly have difficulty in subduing the re-
bellion. The Balkan mountains and the
principalities of Servia and Montenegro are
obstacles in the way Of an immediate sup
preston OF the insurrection, and the Ottoman
empire has neither the funds nor the credit
to sustain a long contest.
