Mr.. JAMES w. WARE is not anxious
to get Harry Sharpley nominated for
President Of City Council. He knows
that if he can get Sharpley slaughtered,
one more candidate for the State Senate
will be burie !. Ware is entirely disin-
terested. The election f.r State Sena-
tors is good way of yet but Mr.. Ware
believes i'll Tilden's mode of keeping

Sentinel.
Dover is a good way off; too far by
half for our friend Of the Sentinel to dis
cover accurately all that he pretends to
know as to the intentions of Mr.. Ware,
which we are sure is one far-fetched
guess. 1t will be time enough for that
paper to determine whether Harry
Sharpley will be slaughtered or not the
day after the election. We expect hin
to be elected by majority anywhere be
tween 300 aud 600. And this is not in
tending or saying anything to disparagt
his opponent, who is an excellent either
and has made an admirable officer. H'
has worn his deserved honors well. Blu
there is a disposition to distribute thes
aud to give the present faithful an'
courteous President of the City Council
a little of that sweet rest to be found il
honorable retirement.

In the days before the war, when James
g Blame was y younger and In many re-
spects, better man his glib tongue and
pen were busy proclaiming his faith In
Stree soil. free speech and free men,"
Owing to tho great events aud mo-
mentous changes that have crowded the
interval between that time aud the pres
ent, the ante bellum epoch seems further
removed from us than 1t really Is, and
many of It's incidents are lost sight in the
shadow Of the tselnendous tragedy that
followed.
Mr.. Blaine however, has just been kind
enough to revive the public recollection
OF his own devotion to the cause of free
speech, when that was the shibboleth oil
the newly born Republican party, and
To has done IL IN a way TO create the be-
lief that he IL no longer possessed OF the
zeal that once Inspired him.
A canvass Is progressing IN Maine
whose results are OF vital Importance 10
the political fortunes Of the distinguished
Senator.
In consequence of the practical union
OF the Democrats and GreenbacKerS
grave fears are entertained by the Repub'
hcan leaders that their party is ON the
| eve OF a Waterloo defeat.
Should Name now desert the organlZa
ton which has determined her political
| complexion for nearly quarter of a Cen.
| tury, Mr.. Blaine would be relegated u
the limbo OF those Presidential candidates
who cannot carry their own States; OF, IN
other words, his hopes of sitting IN the
char of Washington would be- adjourned
sine die.
Among those who are doing their best
to bring about this result IL Representa-
tive De La Matyr of Indiana, n man oi
strong conviction and great force Of
character, and a ready and eloquent lea
der.
As Mr.. De La Matyr Is also prominen
clergyman in the Methodist deDomina
ton, he was invited TO occupy the pulpit
ofthe First Methodist Church at Bangor
last Sunday. Inteiligeu ce Of this fac
coming to Mr.. Blaine's ears he fogot all

most trusted friends put up JOB" ON
