Flashes From the Bangor Com

York Democrats Repudiate Williams and
! will Vote for Anderson.
One of the most popular, prominent and iphu.
entail democrats of York county writes US in a
private letter, that the democrats of that county
repudiate the endorsement of the Electoral Fraud,
and will probably cast their votes for Gen. S. j.
Anderson, of Portlsnd-Baaqor Commercial

On Thursday the Portland A rgus published Mr..
Williams letter of acceptance, but made not a
word of comment on it. In Fridays issue there
are. however, some remarks which read queerly
There is no alluson to the authors most extraor-
binary Interpretation of the second resolution of
the platform. Probably, Bro. Adams will take
two or three days to reflect on the utter subver-
sion of the temper, spirit and letter of bis admir-
able resolution by the democratic candidate for
Governor. We learn from private sources that
the temper Of the Portland democracy is about
the same as that of their brethren in Bangor

We commend to the attention of every demo-
crat the brief article from the New York sun ON
the true method of preventing a repetition of the
monstrous fraud by which Samuel j. Tilden was
robbed Of the high office to VIII ich the American
people had elected him. Can democrats contrib

crime against free government by voting for a
man who declares that Hayes title to the Presi-
dency is valid, and who affrms that the decision
Of the infamous majority of the Electoral Com

of Bradley and Morton, is an accessory after the

ic Army.
We deem it our duty to inform the Chairman
Of the Democratic State Committee that the corps
Of $1,000 Hayes Republicans on the right flank
of the Democratic line of battle, and the 10 900
Republican Prohibitionists on the left, have fallen
back out of sight, leaving both TANKS entirely ex.
posed. They have left behind only a thin picket
line of some 100 videttes. Perhaps this may also
be strategic movement in Pursuance of orders
from our Chairman, to allure the enemy on to
more certain destruction. 1t is hardly to be pre-.
sumed that the 5000 Hayes Republicans have re.
treated beyond the reach Of Mr.. Williams inter
