The Fidelity of the Reporter.

may as well take up for refutation the
charge occasionally brought against reporters,
that their reports are colored by personal feel
ings. This is distinctly untrue. The report
er, as a reporter, has no personal feelings. In
so far as the mere writing out of the words of
speaker goes, he is machine. Toward sem
timentS uttered his mental attitude is indiffer-
ence; or if he takes the trouble to differ from
the spirit of the proceedings, his disagreement
does not appear in his report, but takes the
form of a sarcastic comment to a confrere at
the table. 1t would not suit the reporters
purpose to alter in any way the tone of meet
ing; that would be giving himself good deal
of unnecessary labor; and unnecessary labor is
what he is generally most anxious to save him
self. Irish reporters have frequently sustained
this charge; and are still often accused of Civ
ing Catholic coloring to their reports of po-
htlcal or religious meetings. But my own ex-
perience has been that Irishmen are as willing
in their professional capacity, to become the
channels of ultra Professionalism as to give ex-
pressons of the most pronounced Shamrock
hue 1t might, indeed not little disturb the
readers of extreme religious journals were they
to overhear at the reporters table the repre-
sentatives of two mutually hostile sheets ar
ranging with each other for a friendly inter-
change of notes. To condense the whole sub
iect into one sentence no reporter cares but
ton what he reports. 1t is q fond illusion To
suppose that the reporter is an eager politician
posted up in the movements of the session. he
has no political procliyities whatever You
may see the representatives of the fiercest radi-
cal sheet debating his notes to the Reporter of
the Oldest Tory paper. The same man often
works for both, transferring his services from
one to another with no concern save that of
getting the best market for his copv-rrha

A Republican State Convention
WILL BE HELD IN
NOROMBEGA HALL, BANGOR,

NOROMBEGA HALL, BANGOR,
for the purpose of nominating candidte for Gov
ernor and for transactng whatever business may
properly come before it.
The basis of representation will be delegate
for each city, town and plantation, and addition
al delegate for every seventyve votes cast for the
Republican candidate for Governor in 1876. A
majority fraction will be entitled to a delegate.
fhe State Committee will be in session the evening
preceding and at o'clock the morning of the Con-
vention, to receive the credentials of delegates.
In selecting the Delegates the Republicans arc
urged to assemble in full numbers and to invoke the
aid and cooperation of all voters who willing to
unite with them to the following ends:
l. To maintain the power and prestige of the
Union against all attempts to subvert oppose its
just authority and to insist that the Government of
the United States shall be controlled by loyal men,
2. To discountenance and reprobate the treason
able and revolutionary course of the Democrats in
Congress- who threaten to cripple and destroy the
functions of the Government if consttutionally pre-
vented from enacting their partisan measures into
law.
3. To uphold the right of the United States to
enforce its own laws wherever they to operate,
and to frown down and put down the dangerous
heresy of the States Right secessonists who have
already plunged the country into one bloody war
and who are now attempting TO control the Govern
ment of the Union with the same measures that
preceded the rebellion of 1861.
A. To insist upon free elections-not only free
from National military inference which no one de-
sires, but also free from the interference and vo-
lence of so-caed State militia and the assassins who
with deadly weapons have seized the polls in many
of the Southern States, driving innocent and de-
fenceless voters from the ballot-box and making
mockery of elections, which upon free suffrage
has been made distinct political issue by every
Democrat in the Senate and House voting against
measure designed to prevent and suppress it.
g. To uphold the financial credit of the Govern
ment and to assure to the people of all sections
sound currency equivalent to coin at all times and
in all places, and redeemable in COIN And to this
end to oppose all distractng, repudiating aud mis-
chievous efforts against the peace, welfare and in
dustrial prosperity of the People.
6. In these aims and purposes all citizens of
Maine are invited to unite, that the hands of the
President and of the Republican minority in both
branches of Congress may be strengthened in their
efforts to uphold the honor of the Government and
the just authority of National Law.
By order of the Republican State Committee.

THE New York San has no doubt it is a
backdown. 1t says that ''Hayes, the Fraud,
towers up in comparison with the cowardly
Democrats of Congressp' He stands up
and vetoes like man, but ''the Democrats,
on the other hand, like a pack of frightened
sheep, abandon the field and run away after
voting the money that is necessary to keep
at the polls the troops they have repeatedly
declared should never be allowed there !!
The end and the net result of the extra ses-
sion is that the Democracy are covered with
disgrace while glory is shed upon Hayes.
