The political ball has opened. Repub-
lican campaign speakers by the score are
announced, and meetings between this
time and the State election will be abund-
ant, Campaign documents and newspa-
pers will be thrust by the bushel upon
every Democrat and doubtful man. The
Republicans can afford to be thus lavish,
with their innumerable Office holders and
unlimited access to the treasury The
Democracy have not the money to prac-
tice either coaxing, intimidation Or brib
cry. They point to the condition of the
country, lor argument Those who de-
sire its continuance will vote with the Re
publicans-those who don't, will cast their
ballots for Tilden and Reform

A Base Fabrication.

The report published in the New York Times
from its Washington correspondent and copied
into republican papers generally, asserting that
the Democrats Of Maine have succeeded in con.
vincing Governor Tilden that they can carry
the State by having Il large amount of money
that he has determined to furnish it and that
proof of it exists in Washington which they do
not desire to publish. is an unmitgated false
hood. Neither the member of the National
Committee for Maine nor any member of the
State Committee have had any communication
with Gov. Tilden upon that subject or any other
since his nomination; nor have they given as
surance to any body that they could carry the
State with money; nor have they received mo-
ney or assurance of receiving any outside the
State.
The probable object in manufacturing and
circulating this report was to divert attention
from the designs of republican leaders to use
large corruption fund in the State, as they
did in 1872, derived from contributions levied
upon whiskey thieves.

The Third District Congressional Con-
vention was held at Augusta on Tuesday.
l.. NJ Staples of Washington presided
For the uneXpired term occasioned by
the resignation of Mr. Blaine, Hon. Isaac
Reed, OF Waldoboro, was nominated
That gentleman is so well known to the
Democracy Of Maine, and so highly APP
preciated, that his fitness for the position
is apparent to every one. He is Il man
whose long and active life, intelligence
and uprightness have won confidence and
respect wherever he is known, and given
him an enviable popularity. 1t is a pity
that more men of like qualities have not
seats in the national councils Hon E. X
O'Brien, nominated for the long term, is
the well known citizen Of Thomaston who
received the nomination two years ago.
He is gentleman of excellent Abilities
irreproachable character, and good quail
tications for the position. Dr.. j. G. Man
son, of Pittsiield, was nominated for Pres
idential elector.
The whole power Of the administration
is being used to crush Blutord Wilson, eX-
solicitor of the Treasury, because of his
truthful and damaging testimony against
the whiskey ring and its tools in Washing
ton. Gen. Horace Porter, Babcock's pre-
decessor as Private Secretary to The Pres
ident, has voluntarily appeared to contra
dict Col. Wilson and to say good word
for Ulysses, and the President himself has
at last broken silence, and. through a
New York Herald interviewer, has. while
endeayoring to MAKE il appear that he
did not force Secretary Bristcw ont Of the
Cabinet, given u clean bill of health to
Porter and Babcock so tar rs the Black
Friday scandal is concerned Now let us
hear from Babcock. 1t is cheerful sight
to see these distinguished Republicans
whitewashing each other.

KNAPP, BabcoeS 4 Co. is rs great curios-
ity rs double headed snake or Barnum's

are publishing the apostacy of Mr.. Charles
H. Treat of Bath, and Mr.. Blaine gently
and aifectionately leads this new disciple
up and down the state. to testify, with .he
zeal of new convert at reyivalS, how
wicked he had been before getting relig-
ion, and how calm, serene, peaceful and
sure of salvation he is in his state of re-
generation,
Mr.. Treat was formerly Il resident OF
Winterport, in this county, from which
point he used to supply the region round
about with Cuba molasses and other sac
charne products, 1t was perhaps to see
how many Democratic flies could be NJ

1t is understood that MIR Treat has been
unfortunate in business ventures since To-
eating on the banks of the Kenneboc, and
that he therefore proposes to throw the
weight Of mis- influence with the Rcpubl-
can party, and thus promote a revival Of
business, 1t is doubtful whether the bite

in the terms Of Just and indignant rcbuke,
as follows; My countrymen, although |

these States, or any part of them is no
