Chairman Pillsbury GIveth his
Opinion of his Brother Emery.

Declares Marcellus stupid and Every
body Knows il.
There isn't the slightest necessity for your pro-
claiming your own stupidity or bewilderment,
Marcellus. Every body knows it.-Kaine Stand

Chairman PIllsbury DiagnOsticates the
Case OF MaIcellus.-Delirium Tremens.
Marcellus insists that he hasn't got the suLks.-
What is it, then, the "jm-j jams :" There are
some symptoms Of it. He imsgines the air full

MsrcelIGs Charged with Deliberate Ly-
ing.
The Bangor Commercial deliberately put the
language of David Dudley Field into the mouth
Of Justice Field to sustain his position in attack
ing Mr.. Williams letter, and it resorts to de-
liberate lying as to the manner in which Mr..
Williams was nominated in the convention. The
nearer Marcellus gets to the republican camps the
more his tactics assimilate to theirs Maine

Not a Rational Man, says Chairman Pills.
bury.
The Boston Post says of Mr.. Williams letter;
"We see no ground for criticism outside the ranks
of Mr.. Blaines sdherents, and this ought to be
enough to commend Mr.. Williams to the warm
and generous support of rational men of all par
ties"
1t is true that the Post limits it to the view of
rational men and that may account for the oppo
site views of Marcellus Standard.
IL. .
lus Compared to a Prairie Bull.
Msrcelus considers himself the Von Kohke of
political straegsts Ii is probably so, too, for it
is not to be presumed for a moment that he over
estimates his own abilities. 1t is true that we
have not always been able to see its wisdom, but
the probable for that is that his strategy
of such superior order that ordinary mortals are
incapable of comprehending it.
1t is certainly heroic style of strategy-quite
much so as that of the prairie bull that under
took to stop and turn back an approaching train
of cars by butting against the engine, resulting
in his disappearance in a cloud of hashed hair,
hoofs and horns. If the bull had survived the
encounter and got upon his feet after the train
had passed over him. exhibited his stern, paved
dirt and beloved, the analogy would have been
complete.-Aaiae Standard.
He Accuseth Marceilus OF TreacheTy to
the Democratic Party.
Marcellus Emery is unquestionaby engaged in
a treacherous effort to ntict injury upon the dem.
ocratic party. 1t cannot be said that he is in opea
revolt for he flies the name of our standard bearer
at the head of his columns but strikes at him
with poisoned dagger in every issue.
Mr.. Emery has always been difficult man to
get along with in the party since his position a.
editor Of paper gave him prominence in the or.
ganizaion, but hitherto difficulties with him have
not originated in wrong design but from the i'm.
practicable make up, conceit and Hhmaelite char
acter of the man. 1t has been trouble
some enough to act in harmony with him and dis
couraging enough to encounter the damaging
effect of his imprsctcable course while his errors
have been of the head and not of the heart, but
now the damage he is doing to the party is inten-
tionsl premeditated, methodcal, wicked, mali
cious. If he would 60 squarely over to the
republican camp, bag and baggage, it would be
much more manly than the treseherous course he
Is pursuing and theprospects Of the party in the
future would be greatly improved reby.-Kaiae
