The Finances and the Coming
sG Election.

The Washington correspondent Of the
New York Evening Post reiterates his as
serton, notwithstanding August Belmonts
assumed contradiction, that private letters
received from Europe have conveyed the
information that no more bonds would be
subscribed for by the syndicate until the
Presidential election is decided, and that
If Mr.. Tiiden is ch0s' II President none OF
the bonds will be taken until the policy of
the Democratic administration is fully
known. They are not public or cllical
letters, aud were not written in the expec-
tation that they would be made public I;
but their trustworthlness is not questioned
by the persons who have received them.
The correspondent adds.
"In conversation with Secretary Morrill, to-day,
he said to your correspondent that he fully ca
pected that the funding operations would come to
an end If the democratic party succeeded next
month that any man with ordinary common seEse
ought to know that the funding could not 20 on
with party in power, a large part Of whose mem
beers advocate the payment Of bonds in paper
money, while other members are in favor Of pay
ing the bonds in deprecated silver. 1T is not
necessary, said Secretary Morrill,, TO discuss this
question, for the whole tendency Of the operations
thus far demonstrates that the funding cannot be
carried on with the democrats in power. Mr..
Bristow found IL impossible TO fund the four and
half per ce1tum bonds In face Of the democratic
house, and was poweriess to do anything while
the democratic house remained in session.
Mr.. Morrill, said be would not say what the syn
dictate would do, because he did not know; bat he
believed that with MFR. Tilden as President, the
funding would Immediately stop. or course the
syndicate would in any event have TO take the
$50 600 900 subscribed for, but further subscrlp-
lion would, ia the seeretaIy's Judgment not be
MADE"

Wade Hampton, in one of his speeches
had the boldness and frankness to say that
if Tilden were elected the republican
party would be driven out of the South.
This naughty rebel told the truth, but his
doughface allies in the North are careful
to conceal the fact which he avowed.
Free speech and free exercise of the right
of suffrage in the South depend upon the
election of Hayes aud Wheeler.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1876-10-25

Traces Of the democratic stil,-hunt have
been discovered in various localities in
this State. 1t will not amount to anything
if republicans are wide-awake and prompt
at the polls on election day. Every re-
publican in the State should make it bis
bounden duty to vote the Hayes q Wheel
er ticket Nov 7th. and assist in getting
out full republican vote.

The democrats of South Carolina have
been buying large quantities of election
eering material in New York Of firms deal
ing in firearms. The weapons most
sought after are the heavy, old-fashoned
navy revolvers. These, in the hands OF
members of Buffers rifle clubs, were very
efficient instruments in promoting the sue
cess of the democratic party until the re-
cent order of President Grant.

FOR PRESIDENT,
RUTHERFORD B. HAYES,
OF OHIO.
WILLIAM A. WHEELER,
OF NEW YORK.

Governor Tilden has Issued circular
instructing democrats who intend to visit
the Centennial to take care and be at home
to vote Nov. 9TH. We hope republicans
are interested enough in the election TO be
at home on election day without any such
reminder from the candidate for President
or anybody else.

PHOIOG APH Err
Augusta, Maine.
Improved Photographs are Unrivalled

Always have triumphs great been won
While triumphs greater have begun.
KIMBALL, all skillful in his ART
In truth our joys can sure impart,
Most lile-lke do our pictures glow.
Best work from KIMBALL well we know,
And Photographs Improved, make known,
Lovely, the highest art is shown.
Let proud Augusta people say,
Perfect the Rembrant sheds its ray
He IN good work doth take delight,
Der all he strives but for the Right,
The Photographs he takes are true,
Our low ones stand before our view.
Great are the blessings there displayed
Rightly to please each man and maid,
And his fair Pictures well may claim
Perfect, they add unto his fame.
How grace and beauty well we know
Ever CLEAN from his Studio
Rightly on his Saloon we call
And find best work done by KIMBALL.
Useful, his mission is to cheer,
Great triumphs from him cen appear,
Untold joys come-for kIMBALL may
Surely assert he has great sway.
Then can we claim he long shall reign
And never do his work in vain.

DESCRIBING PAsToR.-A blind
phrenologist lectured the other night at
a church in Troy. There was large
crowd of ladies and gentlemen present
At the close of the lecture committee
was appointed to select a candidate
for examination. The lucky man was
the Presbyterian pastor Of the city.
The blind man Of science proceeded to
say that the doctor was very fond of
the fair sex-in fact. as Josephus said
to Solomon, ''immoderately fond Of
women !" that if his wife were to die
be would lose no time in looking out
for another that he had splendid
appetite, loved good eating. and liked
to dine out" and was sure to make
it understood when be did that the
doctor was there, etc.
Some one 10 the audience wanted to
know about his religion. The sightless
scientist replied; Publicly he is
very religious, but privately he is not
troubled with piety be has fine me-
chanical head, and. while be would
make fine blacksmith, be would not
make much ofa preacher.
Here the doctor turned very red in
the face, and said: "Sir, have been

hour or two, and then fall to the ground.
But who among the sons and daugters
of men-gifted with thoughts which
wander through eternity, and with
powers which have the godlike privi-
lege of working good and giving hap
piness-who does not daily let thou
sands Of these thoughts drop to the
ground and rot? Who does not con-

the mould of their own leaves! The
Imagination can hardly conceive the
heights Of greatness and glory to which
mankind would be raised, if all their
thoughts and energies were to be ami
mated with living purpose But as

Of acorns that fall every autumn, there
may, perhaps, be one in million that

be our confusion, when we see all these
wasted thoughts and feelings rise up in
the judgment and bear witness against
