THIS from the Belfast Journal A story
is told of two Irishmen who bought COW in
partnership. One claimed the, rear half,
which gave him monopoly of the milk.
The other was non-plussed for time, but
finally concluded to stop feeding his end
and so brought his partner to terms. That
is a good deal like the partnership of the
Democrats and Greenbackers in this State.
The Democrats claimed the milk end of the
cow last winter; and now the Greenbackers
propose to stop feeding their end. If they
all follow the lead Of the Penobscot Green
hackers the Democrats will have to depend
on Solon's steers, and will find it rather dry
milking.

THIS is the Bangor IVhig's portrait of
candidate Smith: Very few men who have
known Mr.. Smith for years have believed
that he ever had any real sympathy with the
fiat financial doctrines for which he con-
sented to act as fgure-head, solely on ac-
count of his ambition to be Governor. A
large capitalist, a bondholder, usurer of
pretty stiff type, he was about the last man
to think of as the leader of a party which
made its war upon capital, howled against
the bondholders and denounced usurers as
the blood-suckers of humanity. The Jour
nails revelations show that his devotion to
his fiat party was the merest sham, and that
at the first opportunity he was ready to kick
over his Greenback ladder, if the Republi-
cans would only help him climb in at the
State House window.

TuE Boston Advertiser finds proof of

THE Boston Adrertiser finds proof of the
revival of trade in Maine. 1t says:
Trade is very active in Maine. One unusu-
ally heavy transaction was reported in our is
sue of yesterday. The Democrats and Green
hackers of the chief county in the state made
bargain to divide equally the offices at the dis
posal of the voters of the county, provided
the offices can be got. Similar bargains are re-
ported almost daily from other parts OF the
State. We think the successful revival of this
branch of trade is clearly to be attributed to
resumption, for when an effort was made last
year in the same direction, it failed utterly.
Perhaps the magnitude OF the transaction that
was proposed had something to do with the
failure, but our purpose at present is not to
seek for the explanation, but to report the
facts. In brief then, it is proved that the gen
tleman who was last year, and is again this
wear the candidate of the Greenback party for
Governor of Maine, made a distinct proposition
that, if the Republican Senate would elect him
Governor, he would take strong Republican
ground on the subject of Southern politics, and
either omit reference to the financial question,
or insert paragraph satisfactory to Republic
cans in his inaugural address.
The Portland daily press., 1879-08-08

THE Boston Herald, in the 'Men and
Things column too, makes this unkind
mention: ''Plaisted of Bangor must have
wanted very badly to become Greenbacker
after resumption had come. We can con-
ceive that man might be disgusted with
the political ring that has governed Maine
without making donkey of himself"
The Portland daily press., 1879-08-08
TERMS $500 PER ANNUM, IN ADVANCE.

THE Boston Herald thinks the charge
against candidate Smith is not quite definite
enough to hurt him, and adds: 'He is prob
ably not much of Greenbacker any way.
No doubt he wanted to be Governor very
much, and was willing to pay for that hon
or, but most of the Greenbackers would do
the same The last charge against him is
that, having failed to sell out to the Repub-
licans, he has now sold out to the Demo-
Gratis. If he is really in the market, we pre-
sumo that the Republicans of Maine know
his price" They ought to. He appears to
have been very frank in stating it.

How eagerly the Democratic papers rush
to the defense of Major Smith! They seem
to regard him as their own candidate. But
if they expect to prove Candidate Smiths

ment they have made. Do they think it will

And hump their backs high up In air,
And scratch with all their might;
And twirl their tails with woful walls,
And snarl and screech and bite;
And roll their eyes toward the skies
A most unseemly sight;
And snap their jaws and show their claws
In manner impolite.
And pluck the fur from him or her

And runs off in fright?-

The York Republicans.

The convention held by ,he York County
Republicans Wednesday was one OF the
largest and most enthusiastic in the history
of the Republican party in that section OF
the State. It's members felt victory in the
air, received fresh encouragement from the
reports brought in of gains in many towns
of the county, and their zeal was quickened
by the admirable speeches of Messrs. Davis
and Frye. They parted company in the
firm belief that they should carry the county.
With the excellent ticket they have nomina-
ted there ought to be no doubt about the
matter; and from the tenor ofprivate advices
that have reached us we are led to believe
that every man upon it will be elected.
While the Republicans are united and en-
thusiastic, the fusionists are already dis
heartened and quarreling with each other.
The York county letter, published in
another column, sets forth some of the
causes of dissatisfaction, showing that the
corrupt coaltionists have been doing nasty
work, and have not hesitated to swindle
their confiding followers. Unless all signs
are at fault punishment will be visited upon
them at the polls in September!
