the leading democratic Teformers of the
last Congress. and investigated the office

the exposure of the fact that he procured

had been employed by the committee as
an expert in printing when in fact he
rendered no service.

His dismissal has split the democrats OF

The following copy OF Washington
despatch to the Cincinnati Gazette, we
find in the editorial column of the
Portland Advertiser, which says it
gives an accurate account of the late
Augusta election"
"The statement in circulation that Augusta, the
home Of Mr.. Blaine has gone democratic for the
first time in ten wears does not quite 90 justice to
the situation as related by q prominent citizen in
Maine. The Mayer elect was q republican, and
one of the most pronounced Hayes men 10 the
whole State of Maine. As result, he was elect
ed by 242 majority, but all the rest OF the republic
cans the ticket were defeated, and, except this
Hayes Mayor, the democrats swept the town"
This is not an accurate" but mis-
cnievous and living account of our election
No Hayes men or anti-Hayes men were
known in our election. No issue of that
sort was raised or thought of. Our ticket
was made up and supported las repubi-
can ticket without reference to the pc
culiar opinions of the candidates in regard
to MIR. Hayes. All the republican ticket
with the exception OF Mayor was not de-
feated. Two republican aldermen were
certainly elected, and so was a majority of
all the minor ward officers on the republi.
can ticket The democrats gained ma
jority of the board of aldermen. simply
by local questions and disafieclions which
cut down the republican vote for aldermen
in some OF the wards and defeated them.
1t is news indeed to learn by the way OF
Cincinnati that there was Hayes and an
anti-Hayes party in the city election, at
the home OF Mr.. Blaine.

The Democratic Soldiers Roll.

Inc DeInOCTattt ooiutNis Asoih'
We trust that no one who takes this pa
per in hand, will fail to read the descrip-
ton Of Doorkeeper Folks Soldiers Roll,
in another column, as found in Mr.. Frye's
speech made in the House on Wednesday,
last, in support of the resolve reported
from the investigating committee IN favor
of the removal OF that democratic iunc-
tionary. The facts presented by Mr' Frye
all came out during the investigation. The
description is true to the letter. 1t appears
that of the small army of subordinates the
Doorkeeper appointed, only fourteen
places were set apart for soldiers. And
such soldiers One of them was born the
year the rebellion began. One was SOL
dier in the war of 1912. Another was in the
Confederate Army. Some had never been
in any army. One was crippled by sprain-
ing his ankle while drilling. One was an
apothecary's clerk in the navy. The
Kinpfield rioters and the Elliot brig
ade. in this State, were entitled by char
acter and services TO representation on the
roll, but as only three soldiers were per
United to be placed upon it from New
England the appointments did not reach
as far cast as Maine. Doorkeeper Polk
testified that small as his soldies roll was
only fourteenth was hard work to keep
it full, though he had the whole United
States to draw FROM and therefore he was
constrained in order to ill the list to add
the name of the son OF Fitzhugh-the
'bigger man than old Grant'-said son
having been an infant during the rebel
lion.
But we advise everybody to read Mr.
Frye's speech, and see for themselves
what kind of soldiers and how many re-
ceive democratic offices and patronage.
The war has been over thirteen years, but
the democratic party has not yet become
reconciled to the men who maintained the
Union at the peril of their lives against
the gigantic attempt of the rebels TO des-
troy it.

Democratic County Convention

The democratic electors Of the several townships
of the county of Rock Island requested to meet
at such times and places in their townships and
wards as their local committees may designate, for
the purpose OF appointing six delegates to represent
said townships in q county convention. to
be holden at the court house in Rock Island, on
Thursday, April 4th at two O'Clock P. M. The
duty OF which convention will be to appoint dele
gates 70 the democratic state convention
to be holden in Springfield, on the nth day Of
April, for the nomination OF a democratic state
ticket, to be voted for at the coming November
election. The representation in said county CON
vention will be based upon the democratic vote
OF the county for governor in 1s76an apportioned
among the several townships and wards in the
ratio of one delegate to every fifty votes, and one
delegate for every fraction of twenty-five votes ant

The fact that silver is now restored to

gives it equal validity and power with gold
for commercial transactions. and there is
no good reason why the right to issue GER
tifcates upon gold deposits should not be
extended in like manner to silver. Being
made equal in the uses to which they are
to be applied, and possessing the same
facilities for being converted into certif-
Gates for the convenience of the holders
thereof, there could be no essential differ
ence in their use for all business purposes,
