and II will be supported with courage and enthu-
siasm. Perhaps it will not be pleasant for the
friends of Mr.. Williams to learn that they will not
gain one republican vote in this part of Penob-
scot County or in the southern section of Aroos-
took. If the leaders of this W illiams movement
honestly thought they were working for the best
good of the party it is high time that they learn
that they have deluded themselves with vain
hopes; that they have built house of straw that
will fail before the first slight wind. The stand
that the COMMERCIAL has taken is the true one,
and it meets with the approval of the democrats of
Northern Penobscot. II. A. WING.

Pillsbury's Still Hunt Letter.

In the Journal Of last Tuesday Sprague pub
lished confidential letter stolen from the mails
Let him roast by his own fre.-.Kaine Standard
That letter published in the Journal was stolen
from the mails we have doubt, but want 1t
distinctly understood that we have no suspicion of
the postmaster in tins city. We have the fullest
confidence in his honesty and faithfulness-K
Standard.
The ghost of the stolen Foster Blaine letter
which Pillsbury published haunts him. Charging
us with STOPPING to the meanness of that act in
publishing his still hunt letter is mere diotic than
to twit Marcellus Emery of being a copperhead
The still hunt letter came to us directed to the
"Kennebec Journal as most of our letters come,
and accompanying it was the following note, with
names of town and writer in full:
G, Sept lst 1877.
To The Editor Of the Hennebec journal;
The incosed letter was received by a citizen of
sion, to 1t if you deem it advisable. Although
marked "confdentidl," he wishes no democratic
confidence.
Please return when you have done with it.
Yours, &c.
The letter was not stolen from the mail by any
body, and was printed by us with the full permits
was first stolen and then published without the
consent or knowledge CT the person to whom it
was addressed.
Let republicans remember that Plsbury does
not deny the authenticity of his letter or that a
secret and active democratic canvass is going on
under his direction. Be vigilant and bring out a
full republican vote Monday.

Judge Goddard - The Sinking
Fund and Hon. Joseph III. " IL
liams.

The Postmaster of Portland. Judge God
dard, rushes to the defense of Mr.. Will
liams for his action on the Sinking Fund,
with too great alacrlty, and probably from
want of knowledge, wholly miss,ates the
facts:
l. There is no analogy between the
Sinking Fund for the payment of the Ma
tlonal debt and the Sinking Fund for the
payment of the State debt. The Sinking
Fund was made part of the act authoriz-
ing the National Loan and was part of the
pledge to the public creditor. The Sink
ing Fund in Maine was made long after
the money was borrowed, was not made
condition OF the loan, and was merely
convenience adopted by the State for the
easy and gradual liquidation of the State
debt. Judge Goddard may not see the
distinction, but every body else does.
The operation of the double Sink
ing Fund was not making the payment of
the debt "easy and gradual" but hard and
oppressive. BY its conditions the Treas
urer could invest only in United States
Bonds and in the Bonds of the State
of Maine. United States Bonds soon
got too high for profitable investment. and
then the next result was that the State
was continually raising the price of its
own Bonds upon itself, and the Sinking
Fund was being recruited by Bonds for
which we were paying l12-115-when
the holder of them had paid the State only
100 for them, and that too on fearfully
deprecated currency. A wise financier
will always anticipate his paper if he is
able, but not If he has to pay Il premium
of II or Is per cent. for the privilege.
Now that folly is precisely what Mr.. VIII
liams and Judge Goddard urged the State
of Maine to pursue.
3. Judge Goddard's complaint that this
generation will not see the debt entirely
paid Is not alarming. Why should not the
generation that follows US and gets all the
benefit of a restored Union and perma-
nent nationality, bear part of the burden ?
As was said by witty and wise gentle
man in this State: Our generation did
their share In contracting the debt; others
should pay it," Seriously, however, this
generation shed all the blood and bore all
the grief OF the war. The next genera
ton should at least bear part Of the Pc
cuniary burden.
8. Gov. Dingley's course in dispensing
with one Sinking Fund and retaining the
other was wise in all its bearings. He
was especially wise in enlarging the field
of investment TO the Bonds OF ali the New
England States, so that the holders of the
Bonds of our own State cannot make "a
corner" and exact an unduly high price
for them. In short, Mr.. Dingley showed
himself throughout the whole matter to
be wise administrator of the State
finances. while Coy Williams insisted
upon needless and oppressive burden
being placed on the people, and Judge
Goddard--well. the Judge retreated leav-
ing Mr.. Williams to carry on a losin 9

fight And to many Republicans 1t seems
a little strange that Judge'Goddard should
wal, until Mr.. Williams is the Democratic
candidate for Governor before rushing TO
his defense with such evident and incon-
zeal.

The Still Hunt.

The circular OF the Chairman OF the
Democratic State Committee, made puollc
through the carelessness or indlscretlon OF
some of his henchmen, shows that the
democrats in this campaign, as IN some
other more recent campaigns which VIII
be readily recalled, are attempting that
peculiar system OF tactics to which the as
tute Tammany politicians long ago gave
the name 1.-THE still hunt" That Is the
democrats are making few public demon
STATIONS and are giving out that they pur-
pose to let the election 60 10y default.
while all the time they are thoroughly or
ganizing in every town and school district,
making preparations to get absent voters
home and TO call all their available
strength to the polls. Thus they hope to
win victory by surprise, and to carry the
State while their opponents are reposing
ON carelessly on their arms. This plan of
campaign has been attempted many times
before and has only failed because repub-
lcans have discovered it in season to foil
1t. 1t may succeed next MondaJ unless
prompt and vigorous measures are taken
to defeat it. The republicans have it in
their power in the next few days to so
thoroughly organize their forces that no
democratic ntrgues, however cunning,
will avail against them. But they have
no time to lose Measures must be TAX
en- at once to bring cut full vote. Can
vassng committees should visit every
school district in every town and see to it
that every republican voter is at the post

fifteen or twenty years in Texas, re-
members distinctly when in SO the
grasshoppers Matched out in almost
countless myriads, Although a panic
existed for time among the farmers,
yet q better crop was raised that year
than for many preceding seasons.
Judge B. is sanguine that the present
season will be signalized by the heaviest
crop grown since 1872, and it will ex-
coed that just so far as the acreage of.
titled soil exceeds that of the year men,
toned. Indeed, instead of the appre-
tensions felt by many who have short
memories, or who do not reflect, there
should exist the utmost confidence, that
the farmers of Texas will be blessed in
both basket and store this Sc ,son, rs
they are rarely blessed these latter
