Two views OFIT'.

This is the way it looks to the Boston
Daily advertiser.
"The political canvass in Maine is becoming
disgracefully personal. The latest offence has
been committed by Mr.. +. +. Pillsbury formerly
democratic candidate for governor. Mr. Pills
bury addresses IAN open letter" to Mr.. Blaine,
charging him with completely in the Credit Mo-
bilier affair lie tells Mr.. Blaine that his name
"has been is now, and ever will be identified with
"that transaction" and he adds, "lf it is wrongly
"there it is your misfortune" And this is the
sort of trash that passes for political argument
with Maine democrats A man is accused of an
offence he demands hearing and gets a polit-
cal opponent to name the committee of investga-
ton the whole subject is examined thoroughly
without the discovery of the first shred of evil
dence to support the charge; and a leading demo-
cratic lawyer. who is often compelled to plead be-
fore the courts that man is innocent until he is
proved guilty, telling the accused that it is his
''misfortune" If he is wrongly accused concocts a
theory to account for evidence which he can.ony
sumo to exist, not beng forthcoming. If that
stuff does not injure the writer than the gem
teman he assails, the sensibties Of Maine demo-
Gratis must be tough"
The Dexter Gazette takes the following
view of it:

puked again. lie calls the Heterogeneous mass
of corruption that he has thrown up "An open
letter to Hon. James G. Blaine"

You ask why the University of Vermont was

tainly was not for lack of facilities for training,
for we have, as you suggest, q beautiful lake on
one side Of us and a beautiful river on another
side. Neither was it for lack of manliness in our
men. The university was represented in almost
every great battle of the rebellion, from Bull Run
to Petersburg having sent to the field a larger
number in proportion to its total roll than any
other New England college. But the fact is that
neither the character of our community nor the
traditions of the colleges are snch TO encourage
sporting habits A large proportion of our stu

tone of the institut0n-arc sons OF farmers, fru-
gal. industrious fellows, who are working their
own way through college, and who at the time OF
the regatta are swinging the scythe in the bayfield,

road. Besides, though they are poor, they are
proud, and would regard it ss beneath the dignity

1--WE have good authority" says the
Portland Press, "for the statement that
the editor of leading democratic paper
In this State positively refused to publish
Mr.. Pillsbury's open letters and that he
has privately denounced them as disgust
ing exhibitions of personal malice and
calculated to do the democratic party no
good. A leading democrat in this city, in
our Office the other day before the appear
ance of the second letter. referred to the
first as puerile and malicious attempt to
ruin the personal character of man who
had won a national reputation and whose
public record had been most Thoroughly

Hon. r. b. Roosevelt said the other day at the
