Journal.
A member Of the Tribune's staff writes
from Vermont even while the President Is re-
ceiving bis ovation there, that a majority Of
the Green Mountain Republicans are dis
pleased with his policy. That seemed to be
the case in Iowa and in Maine. Neverthe-
less, while there may be free speech, there Is
no occasion for any dissension. The gre at
mass OF Republicans have no disposition for
any quarrel. Whatever differences OF opinion
may prevail, there is no sort of necessity for
any division. IT the administration will do

The "hard pan" that we have heard so
much about, and which is by no means
myth, seems to have been very nearly reach

good fall trade. If the manufacturers and
artisans of the country have been doomed
by combination of circumstances to long
period of enforced idleuess, Mother Nature
has this season done her perfect work. The

The Letter Of Acceptance.

The letter of Mr.. Williams accepting the
nomination as candidate for governor rendered
him by the Democratic state convention is a
letter of explanation and apology. Mr.. vii
liams finds it necessary to apologize for the
fact that he stands upon Democratic plat
form and to reconcile his position to-day with
his position during the last twenty years. In
neither apology nor attempt at explanation
is he felicitous. His assurance that he has
tened to rejoin the Democratic party as soon
as it proved itself worthy of his company
will ill please Democrats who had rather die
than confess they have been politically wrong,
and his Interpretation of the second plank of
the platform will not commend itself to those
who delight to style Mr.. Hayes "his Fraudu-
lency the de facto President" and to call one
of the justices of the supreme court, cali
unde Joe.''
The letter of Mr.. Williams has not
changed the nature of the contest between
the two political parties in this State.
Indeed by his broad endorsement of the
st. Louis platform, with its call for the
repeal of the date clause of the resumption
act he emphasizes the action OF the
Democracy in uniting with the Somerset
greenbacSers and declaring against return
to an honest currency. By his gloss on the
second Portland resolution he avows his
belief that President Hayes did not carry
Louisiana, Florida and South Carolina at
the recent election and that the returning
boards in giving those States to the .Republi-
cans were guilty ofillegal and fraudulent acts.
There again he emphasizes the issue between
the two parties.
The people of Maine are called upon to
express their opinion on these points:
Shall we resume specie payments? Was
President Hayes chosen to his high office by
fraud? There is no doubt as to their
vardict

OF all places in the world for an interna-
tional exhibition to think of Rome! 1t had
been understood for some time that the last
exposition for years, would be held at Paris
in 1878, but it is now alleged, as reason
why Italy has declined to send any exhibits
to Paris is not precisely because they might
be damaged in the transit to and fro, but be-
cause Victor Emanuel is about having a

fact, however, the Eternal City, which is an
