srylTOP NORTON TONIGHT.

Senator Morton will speak this evening
in Granite Hall. We need not urge the
citizens of Augusta and those OF neighbor-
inc cities and towns to attend the meet
inc. for we know they are coming in such
numbers as will fill the Hall TO its utmost
capacity and give the great statesman of
the West grand greeting. Mr. Morton
has spoken in Portland and Bangor to
vast audiences, who have listened with
rapt attention to his earnest uttcrances in
favor of the republican party, and mani
tested by their applause their hearty APP
probation of his appeal for and interest in
the cause for which he speaks.
Senator Morton was born in Wayne
county, Indiana, August 7, 1923.
In early years, having lost both bis pa
rents. he was apprenticed TO the hatter's
trade but the business was not congo
NAL and he soon left it. Having been fit
ted for college, he entered Miami Uniyer-
sity at Oxford Ohio. He did not gradu
ate, although he spent time enough in the
university to acquire lifelong benefit from
it. He next began the study of the law,
and was admitted to practice in 1874. In
1862 he was appointed Judge ofthe Wayne
County judicial Circuit, and two years
later he ran for Governor against the Dem
ocratic candidate, and was beaten. In
| 1860 he was chosen Lieut. Governor, and
became Governor two days after he was
installed in consequence of the election OF
Governor Henry S. Lane to the United
States Senate. Since 1854 he has acted
with the republican party, but prior to that
was IA democrat. As the war governor oil
Indiana, Mr.. Morton achieved by his ef.
forts in aid of the Union cause a glorious
reputation for patriotism, courage and abl
ity, which carried his name to every par
OF the Union. Tonight he speaks for the
same cause that he and all other Union
men worked and fought tor when the ma
ton was in imminent peril.

FLORIDA AND REPCBLIC1NISH.

The Tallahassee Sentinel, the leading
journal of Florida, gives this account of
the condition of things in that State under
Republicanism.
"Republican government has placed Florida on
the high road of prosperity. The State is rapidly
filling up with first class settlers; the light of free
schools shines in every corner of the State; the
laws are wise and conservative, and are faithfully
executed; the counties, a general thing, are
well organized and prosperous; lands have great
ly Apr. ciated in value; WISE system of free Ia
Dor has given wonderful impetus to the agricul-
was received in a bankrupt condition, without
money and without credit, has been so honestly
and judiciously managed that Notwithstanding the
enormously increased expense Of providing for the
new order of things, the financial condition of the
State is fully assured"

II seems that the publishers of the kennebec
journal were paid nearly thirty thousand dollars
last year for the State printing, while it cost but
three Thousand in lS56-Haine STANDARD.
There Is a lie at each end of the above
statement. The publishers of the Kenne-
bee Journal did not receive last year for
the State printing nearly the sum stated
above. and the State printing in 1856
amounted TO several times three thousand
dollars. So the Standards lying is double
and twisted.

4 MANLY LETTER FROM GENERAL
PLAISTED.

The Bangor whig and Courier publishes
Il manly letter from General Piaisted, in
which he puts at rest the question OF the
republican succession in the Fourth dis
trict. He says he twas nominated with
out being party to any bargain, compro-
mise or understanding-nom by the
people after Il fair and straightforward
contest for their favor" But the conyen-
ton having passed resolution pledging
the succession to Aroostook he will abide
by that action. He says: "And now say
publicly, as have said privately. that ac
cept the action Of the Convention in good
faith. / believe have no disposition, as
have no right, to complain of it. Now.
as regard it, the whole matter OF success
sion is practically in the hands of the re-
publicans of Aroostook, and | shall not be
found seeking or looking for renomina-
ton against their claims and wishes. The
harmony and success of the party are to
be regarded and will be regarded by the
people if not by candidates, above all per-
sonal considerations.
hope and trust that the republicans OF
Aroostook will all unite in the support OF
our ticket this Fall. and next year unite in
presenting for the succession their best
maI-one who will command the cordial
support of the party throughout the Dis
trict. Then we shall have pcace-peace

MORE FIJI TIL FROM THE TAVD4RD.
The stream Of blackguardism and lies
from the Standard is undated. The del
uge this week is directed chiefly against
bad any influence upon the politics OF the
State, this expenditure of its space and
editorial resources upon private individ-
ual to the neglect of the real business OF
the campaign, might be considered very
good thing for the republican side. The
toughest thing yet said against the Stan
dard is the following which we find in its
own columns this week:
Augusta, Aug. q, 1875.
Mr.. PILLsBuRY: Many republicans meet your
statements in the STANDARD and Pictorial Extra,
by saying IT is ALL A LIE. THEY WONT
GIVE ANY HEED TO ANY STATEMENT APP
FEARING IN YOUR PAPER. WHAT ARE
YOU TO Do WITH THAT CLASS? y.
The Standard has sunk so low, so say
its own subscribers, that no heed is given
to any statement appearing in it F.! And
Pillsbury publishes this certificate to the
lying character of his own paper. This is
about as rich as his quoting from Millions
Paradise Lost, in the Standard, after his
defeat as candidate for Governor, the
address OF Satan to his followers after
they had been driven over the battlements
of Heaven into the depths Of He'll. The com
parison of himself to the Prince of Wick
edness and the democratic party to lmps
of Darkness was very good for Mr.. Pills
bury. lie seldom comes so near the truth

Shot Himself.

Rickel. son-in law of Rev. Mr.. Welch,
living in the neighborhood of Atkinson, shot
himself in the head, and at our last hear
ing, Sunday, he was yet alive, but expect
ed to die. 1t is said that on account of
the Incorporate habit of Mr.. Rickel, his
wife left him about year ago and return
ed to her parents house, where she has
since resided, Soon after her leaving him,
he wrote TO her of his reformation and
asked her to return, which she promised
to do after proof that this really was the
fact But it seems that on Wednesday he
rode up to her fathers house under the in
faence of liquor, called her out, and after
few words of consultation, drew revol-
yer from his pocket and shot himself in
the forehead. He fell insensible to the
ground and has remained so ever since
