mot for JO."

These familiar words will be very pow
erfully illustrated at the election in this
State two weeks from to-day. If Joseph
Ii. Williams would but put his ear to the
ground he could hear them passing up and
down the State, over the hills and valleys,
as if by magic or thousands of Invisible
telephones. One hears mot for Joe"
everywhere. The words can even be read
upon the faces of democrats as they pass
along the streets. From Washington to
York, from Oxford and Franklin to Waldo
and Knox, they are ringing out with an
emphasis that means business.
The democracy have really and sincere
" got it into their heads that Mr.. Will
liams in his letter of acceptance does not
endorse the resolution in the democratic
platform alleging that President Hayes was
elected by 1.-THE most monstrous political
fraud recorded in history" The Bangor
Commercial in its articles upon the letter
expresses the sentiments of large ma
loihJ Vi NphioSiatos hhSh A. oNhOuhbtn
Mr.. Williams as repudiating the Portland
platform. We have looked for defence
of the democratic candidate in the Argus
but no defence has appeared. The silence
of the Argus signifies that 1t agrees with
the Commercial. II it does not why at
such critical time in the affairs of the
democracy does it not say so? The Maine
Standard. guided by the chairman Of the
democratic State committee, said last
week that the letter would suit "all par
ties" but it will take long explanation in
the Standard to make it suit even the demo |
crazy. This attempting to suit "all par
lies seldom fails to prove ruinous to the
man who attempts it, and Mr.. Williams
will be no exception to the general rule.

From the Bangor Wing and Courier.
Mr.. Williams Shiftfngs and Eva

We regret to see that Mr.. Williams is
compelled on his very entrance into the
democratic ranks TO resort to political petit
Jogging that i'll COMFORTS with the potent
and pretentious dignity assumed for him by
his friends. When he came to read the
democratic platform, he found its salient
resolution in these words:
"ll. The reversal of the verdict of the Ameri
can people, as expressed at the ballot box in No
vember last electing Samuel j. Tiden, President
of the United States, sgds the most n.onstrous pO
ht,cal fraud recorded ia history! The democracy

srate himself from the Law and Order
teachings received during his twenty year.

dered by such tribunal as the Electora
Commission, so he twists and turns and
wriggles and squirms and says that in the
resolution che nowhere finds any i'm

high office which he occupies" On the
contrary, he declares "the title became
valid by the Tribunals decision" ant
then he understands the resolution to re

We venture to say that Mr.. Williams
the only intelligent man in the State G
Maine who has the hardihood to say tbs
the resolution of the democratic conver
ton does not refer to the decision of th
Electoral Commission. Its language plain
ly implies nothing else. and the democrat
universally claim that it meant nothin
else. The reversal referred to by ia
democratic convention is the same that
so holly assailed by Judge Black in his ia

Mr. EDITOR Il wish through the columns of
yom paper TO express my thanks to the officers and
soldiers of Camp Jameson for their gentlemanly
and honorable conduct during the late encamp-
ment. Situated as am, the comfort of my fami
ly as well as the preservation of my property was
directly dependent upon the good behavior Of the
troops, and especially the Cadet battalion, who
under the efficient command of Major Hills, en-
camped in the immediate vicinity. The approval
Of the General commanding aud staff, and the
applause OF the people, bear stronger witness TO
the military efficiency of the Cadets, than any
words OF mine. But let ii be said to the credit Of
their instructors that they not only good
soldiers but true gentlemen. PETER ADLAY.
