The Maine Greenback party has sue
ceeded in picking out a candidate for Gov
ernor who Is direct contradiction of the
platform on which he stands. The resolu-
tons call for u reduction Ia officials sala-
res and denounce all bondholders and de-
mand rigid economy everywhere. Major
smith the candidate. has q consistent re-
cord as supporter Of higher salary and
large appropriations for all sorts OF pur.
poses, aud he is generous holder OF the
despised bonds. Ii has always been q Pc
culiarlty OF the Labor Reformers that they
have picked out tor candidates men who

Gratis will allow him TO serve one term.
Should they get control OF both branches
of the next Congress, they would turn him
out without the slightest scruple or mo
ments hesitation, in spite Of the vote ofthe

scores OF instances in which parties have
declared the title OF 8 dynasty or q sover-
eign .indsputable. because they deemed il
impregnable. but who did not hesitate to
dispute 1t just as soon as they found it WAS
preghable. Why shouldn't our democrats
act III the same manner? They often eat
their words; why shouldn't they eat their
yotes:-Boston Traveller.
