IRE dirty and outrageous personal assault
OF the Maiue Standard upon Mr.. Howard
Owen of the Kennebec Journal will lead one
to believe that Brick Pomeroy or like vile
wretch was its editor, rather than a gentle
man who has presided in religious conven-
ton and been at the head of a party ticket
three years. But when we remember that it
was this man Pillsbury who said of President
Lincoln, in 1862, that his (Lincoln's) "shin-
ing brighter and brighter in history, would
be that kind of "shine where he shines and
stinks and stinks and shines like a rotten
mackerel in the moonlight" he is prepared to
believe that no ribaldry is too low Or indecent
for his use which is within the range of his yo-
cabulary. Mr.. Owen, who is as honorable
and cbliging gentlemen as belongs to the
newspaper fraternity in Maine, can afford to
have the ribald defamer of the great Lincoln
sling fifth at him.

The republican party will carry the coun-
try, because it will enunciate sound princi-
piles and nominate men who will represent
them and carry them out. The spirit dis
played yesterdays an assurance of so much.
There have been speakers and writers who
are very anxious about the ticket, but who
regard the platform as merely "waste paper"
OF making excellent promises. and then nom
mating persons who are not only not in fa-
vor OF reform but who are identified with all
that IS Objectionable in the record of the par
y. Neither class will triumph. The plat
form will be an honest one, and will mean
what it says, and the candidates will be
worthy OF support, because they hold and
will act upon the principles which are set
forth in the platform. Advertiser.

The Springfield Republican is impatient
for Governor Tilden to clear up the charges
against him. 1t says: "There ought to be
a practical hint for Mr.. Tiden in the course
OF his old friend, Charles O'Conor. If he
cannot force his calumniators to an immedi-
ate issue in the courts of law, it is quite
within his power to submit his professional
conduct, at least, to the review and iudg-
ment of court of honor, whose decision will
command the confidence of the American
people. If he is innocent in the matters laid
at his door-in this Terre Haute and st.
Louis railroad business, for instance-it
would seem to be worth his while, under
existing circumstances, to make his limo
cence appear"

Mr.. MOODY has had enough of begging for

men of Chicago want his services for a reyiv-

suitable building; he cannot spare the time
to attend to such matters. No doubt Mr..
Moody is right. But he is not so humble as
he once was. Prosperity has given him spirit
and prudent regard for himself. He has
learned that his wonderful powers must be
carefully husbanded, in order that they may
be used to the best purpose and accomplish the
most good. What others can do as well as
he, others must do; what he can do better
than others he will do so long as he has sus-

VEGETINE
VIII Cleanse ScrOfasIa from the
System.
HONEST OPINION.

MIR. II, R. STEVENS
DEAR SIR-This is to show that my son was taken
sick in January 1864 with Scrofula, which out
in large sores and ulcers on his leg and hip His leg
was swelled more than twice its natural size He
had several doctors of high standing in their profess
sion-two from Boston and three from Charlestown-
without getting bit better. He obliged to lie
wherever he was placed, for he had no use of his
limbs whatever. When we had given up all hopes of
his living we were told to try VEGETINE, the great
blood remedy; and he had taken it but short time
before could see great change. The sores run
bad that we had to change the cloths four or five
times day. Still, he was getting better; for he
could move his limbs and help himself a little He
was soon able to sit up in bed and, by constant
of VEGETINE, it has cured him. He has lame
leg, which he will probably have for life; but all
honestly believe, if we had used VEGETINE before
we had bothered with those doctors, it would have
saved the of his leg, and restored it to natural
health. hope all those troubled with Scrofula will
read this testimony of me and my son, who is now
well and able to speak for himself.

to be the best and most reliable blood purifier in the
