MIR. EDrroR-The item in your last issue
concerning the recent forgery i'll this town con
taius several inaccuracies which possibly might
convey wrong impressions to the public, and
which | desire to correct First, Orlando
Briggs, the perpetrator of the forgeries is not,
nor has he for more than one year been "stu-
dent at the Maine Central Institute" Again,
instead of the forged paper having been cashed
by the Merchants Bank at Waterville through
my recommendation (as am the only ''drect-
or who resides at Pittstield'') it was cashed by
Mr.. Ware on his own personal account, through
my recommendation Of Mr.. Cotfin's responsible
ity; not by my certifying to his signature,
which l think never saw until subsequent to
this transaction. So far from the forgery hav-
ing been good one, it was, as well as the one
at the Dexter Bank, very poorly executed

Editor Commercial; As these are times that

Every man, without distinction of party, who
desires to have our governmental affairs admin

principles of economy and REFORM inaugurated
in every department of the government, should
en- lst Ill this campaign on the side of REFORM
and TILDEN AND HENDRICKS.
| have always acted with the Republican par
ty since it first organized; but cannot conscen-
tiousy Ito so any longer, being fully convinced
of its etfidt0goHce and c0rruptiOR. When Il e

of this great nation, are guilty of accepting
DllDcs, usiS tlclG Oiilcal posltlouS loI lucfceH-
ary purposes, and fraud of the deepest dye, 1t
is high time that all honest and honorable men,
should go IN tor Il change of administration, and

Think Of the city of Washington, the Capital

riotic utterances of Gov. Tilden under this

tuition and its amendments, he proclaims
a purpose to protect all citizens, Of all

A good word is said for civil service re-
form, so much needed, so long desired,
and so far from realization through the

Two or three years ago when the
country was parched for want of rain
the drought was attributed to a cut
ting away of timber from the forests of
the country. We were treated to very
long and learned essays, scientific and
unscientific, to show that this must be
SO. The homilies on the wanton waste
Of timber were numerous, and the
criticism was very severe, not so much
because of the timber itself, as because
its destruction was said to have sealed
up the fountains of the great deep, d.
minished the rainfall, and was going,
to make the whole country desert.
But Jupiter Pluvius has been very lib
eral this summer and surely no one can
complain Of the ease with which it rains
or the amount tina. comes TO water the
not very thirsty earth. And we mildly
enquire of the scientists, whether all
those noble forest trees which were
ruthlessly cut away. and thus caused
the cessation of the rains, have grown
| again.

Since the downfall of slaveryIt would
puzzle Philadelphia lawer to tell what
are the principles of the Democratic
party. There is but one on which they
are all agreed, and that is, to get in, at
any price ana at any sacrifice of princi-
pie. To do this they are ready to be-
come all things to all men. The great
interchangeable" vary their principles
to suit localities. In Pennsylv ania
they are for protective tariff; in New
York City and the West they are for
free trade. Some of them are for hard
money, and other some for soft. The
Evansville Courier bolts the work of the
st. Louis convention, because it de-
clared for specie resumption, while the
Democratic organ at LaPorte, publish
ed, flor specie consideration? hard
money puffs for 1ilden. And for a
browning act of duplicity, the st. Louis
platform declares for the repeal of the
clause in the Resumption act, which
fixes the date of resumption. This is
for the purpose of saying to the men of
the East that the Democratic party is
in favor of an earlier resumption than
that now fixed by law, and to the men
of the west that the party wishes to
postpone resumption.
