Campaign Notes.

1t looks as though ex-Gov. Morgan, or
Hon W. NJ. Evarts would be the Republican
nominee for Governor in New York.
A Hayes and Wheeler Club has been formed
in Cherryfeld, and Hon. Geo. Wingate, here
tofore Liberal Republican, is the president.
Advices from California and Nevada are of
the most cheering character. The Republ-
cans are united and organized and confident
that both States will give their votes for
Hayes and Wheeler.
The New Orleans Picayune advises the
Louisiana planters to say tU the negro voter
that if he votes the Republican ticket he
does it at the peril of being thrown out of
employment and starved.
The Machias Republican takes the trouble
TO say that the East Machias district is not
Republican by $50. Probably the argus did
not mean to lie about that little thing. 1t
got mixed, that's all. The East Machias dis.
trlct is Democratic and has always been so,
except twice in fifteen years. f
The New York Times asserts that there is
a large Wing element in the South, especial
ly IN North Carolina, Tennessee and Vir-
gnia, which has long been dissatisfied with
Democratic management, and is coming over
to the support of the Republicans in these
States.
Machias Republican: The Portland Press
presses Mr.. John G. Talbot pretty closely on
his war record. The argus called very POM
pously for the names of its intormants in re-
lation to Mr.. Talbot's war speeches, and in
response the Press gives the ma mes of Hon.
Horace Harmon, Col. A. B. Sumner and M.
M. Foster, Esq, of Lubec, and Fl. P. Dewey,
commission merchant, and Mr.. William
Lakeman, of Portland, then residents of Luz
bee, who all corroborate the truth of the
statements which the argus pronounces an
Infamous lie." 1t would be Just as wise for
the argus to pronounce it an "infamous lie''
to say that tbe sun rose every morning, as to
say that John G. Talbot was not an opposer
OF the war, opposed to the raising of men to
till up the regiments, and opposed raising
money for any other purpose than to keep
men at home.
The Portland daily press., 1876-08-22
tFor the Press.l
John TalbOt's Horse.

Talk Of horses-and make a fuss
About Rosinante, Bucephalus,
The Horse of Troy, John Gilpin's steed,
The horse that Richard sought in need,
Let these be lost to memory-all but
The horse of the patriot John c. Talbot
Oats and corn and hay were high
In '61, and were costly to buy;
"And what shall do,' John Talbot said,
"With horse that's eating of his head?
traitorous heart it is indeed
Would grudge to aid in this time of need,
give my horse to my country cheap
The work OF the.horse for the price of lis keep"
Over the dusty roads of Maine
Horses went in busy train
From country village and seaport town,
bringing the volunteers, hardy and brown;
And the troops went southwark upon their course--
But where was the patriot Talbot's horsep
Well fed and well groomed, with silky side,
And playful whinny and lively stride,
AS he trots through the wide flung stable door, he
Draws the private carriage of Mr.. Shoreyi
The model steed of the Democrat,
This was the game that the horse was at
His strength Of muscle, well-covered rib,
Were due to his corn from the public crib.
The horse still lives this fact of course
Is proof sufficient there was horse;
And until the noble steed be dead
Let none call Talbot copperhead
And let no patriot, North or South, -.,t.
Henceforth look the great Gift Horse in the mouth.
The Portland daily press., 1876-08-22

pear in an exchange under the head of elegant

and if that cannot be done at once my idea is
to adopt plan which will bring about such a

ANECDoTE OF GOVERNOR HAYEs.-Iu the
fall of last year, directly after his successful
campaign for the governorship, says a letter
writer in the Providence Journal, Mr.. Hayes
CHANGED to be in Cleveland in attendance upon
some important duties in connection with the
recent campaign. After supper, he and sew
eral of his political friends retired to his own
apartments to talk over recent events, and, of
course, hearty congratulations were given him
from all. In the course of the evening, some
one suggested the expediency of calling for
some champagne to rightly celebrate his recent
election. Mr.. Hayes remarked that he desired
none, aud would prefer to have none brought
up. The gentleman, however in spite of his
remonstrauce, went into the hall, summoned a
servant, and ordered up some champagne.
Presently, waiter came into the room with
glasses and bottles of champagne on a tray and
set them down upou the table. Mr.. Hayes i'm
mediately turned from the topic of converse
tiOn occupying those present, told the waiter to
remove the tray from the room without delay,
and remarked that be hoped the gentleman
who had ordered the wine would excuse HIM,
that he thanked him, but that il was in direct
opposition to his principles to partake of any
liquor at all, and especially so under present
circumstances. He said: Gentlemen, con-
slider my election to the governorshp worthy
OF better celebration. l think it would be
we'll for US all, instead of resorting to this kind
of convivaility, rather to consider well what du-
ties and responsibilities such an office enjoins
upon me" With these few remarks the sub.
ject was dropped. This incident unimportant
as it may appear, still shows unmistakably the
general bearing of the mans character. Such
conduct does not at least belong to a weak
man, whatever may have been the advisibility
of the action.
The Portland daily press., 1876-08-22

DOUBTLESS the intelligent gentlemen who
direct the affairs of the Maine Agricultural
Society know more about the management of
state fairs than those who have given the
subject no special consideration. Neverthe-
less we can but express the opiuion that the
board of managers have fixed upon an ex-
ceedingly unfortunate season for the State
Fair. Our people are not prepared to par
ticipate in cattle shows and the like until
after the time of the State election. Conse-
quently the time appointed for the fair is at
least two weeks ahead of the season of fairs.
The Fair is to begin August 20 in
one of the most important weeks of an
unusually exciting campaign. In view of this
we fear that several thousand people who
would have taken an interest in the State
Fair if held three weeks later, will not be
present under the present circumstances.
We feel constrained to make these observa-
tions in order that any short-coming in the
exhibition may not be charged to the people
of Portland and vicinity.
