4 Square Offer to Bet.

AUGUSTA, Aug. 30, 1879.
DEAR SIR 1t has been hcralded all over
the State by your agency, that Mr.. Blaine had
offered to bet you five to one, that Garcelon
and Smith would not. unitedly. receive 10000
votes at the coming election, and that he re-
fused to put up his money. when you had
made deposit in the Granite Bank. The
story is absurd to those who know Mr..
Blaine's habits and his views against betting on
elections.
But if YOU are looking round for bets on
that point. ! now offer to bet your combina-
ton $1,000, that Garcelon and Smith will not
unitcdly receive 10000 votes at the coming
election. | have deposited $1,000 in the
Granite Bank to await your acceptance of my
offer. 1t will remain there until Wednesday,
Sept. 3.
If this bet is taken by the combination
which you represent in the Granite Bank de-
post, will bet you 800 personally, that
some member of that combination will in the
event that the $1,000 is lost by you, put in an
injunction against paying it, on the ground
that it is gambling debt. | am informed
that republicans of kenncbec county have
had some experience of that kind in the past

A Southern Man and Union Sol
der VS.. De La Matyr on the
Condition of the South.
ArGrsrA. August -. 1919.


To the Editor Of the KenneJec Jo*rnai;
The Rev. Gilbert DE La Matyr, may wear
the livery of Heaven, but he serves the devil
and commits crime against humanity, when
he states that ''there is peace and harmony
in the South" Yes, there is peace in the
South, but it is the peace of dcofh. You may
have glidcd over Southern railroads in a
Pullman car. Mr. De La Matyr, and because
the people did not turn States evidence, You
say that Northern men who have lived for
wears among the Southern people and have
had business, social and political relations
with them, are not as competent to Judge of
the terrible condition of affairs i'll the South
as YOU are. You dare to question the verac-
itv of men whose devotion 10 the Union. the
cause of human rights and the principles of
free government, has made their lives in the
Southern States an almost intolerable burden
Men who have died for the rights of con-
science, men who have had the accumua-
tons of years swept away and have fled the
country for their lives, many of them aban-
doning everything they possessed in the world
returning TO the Northern States pcnnilcSs
and broken hearted, are not these men, many
of whom have heard YOU in this canvass, lv-
ing examples of the fal>ity of your own state
ments?
Northern women. daughter, of New Eng
land. who have lived in the Southern States,
have witnessed and many of them suffered in
common with their husbands the wrongs and
outrages that You denounce as having no ex-
istencc. And YOU dare TO state that the heart
aches. anxieties and constant apprehcnsions of
violence that turned homes Of happiness into
habitatons of sorrow and misery. are ''hor-
rid visions of diseased imaginations, As your
democratic orators put it. And when with
beating hearts and bated breath the Northern
people in the South would meet together to
discuss measures of safety. was it done to
make political capital at the North: Intelligent
men and men who have the fear of God in their
hearts make no such statements, and though
YOU wear the mitre of bishop or the hat of
a cardinal, would still say that your state
ments of peace and harmony in the South,
ARE FALsE,.

DE La Matyr's Misrepresentation
Corrected.

GARDINER, Aug. 18th. 1879
To the Editor If the hennebec Jopyuai:
In his address to our citizens few even
ings since the Hon. G.. De La Matyr stated
that in the great iron districts of which Pitts
burg, Penn. is the centre, stagnation in bust
ness existed. If this statement is true. why
is it that the furnace owners of Pittsburg
have recently been obliged to advance the
wages of their operators? and why is it that
the rolling mills have been able to make
marked advance in price of bar iron, if there
is no demand for it? and why is it that the
Wentworth Spring aud Axle Co. of this city,
who buy iron in Pittsburg, are unable to
have their orders promptly executed at the
advanced price! and why are they paying
eight per cent. more for spring steel to-day
than in May last: and why are all the nom
partizan reports of the past year so dian,et-
rically contrary to the report of Mr.. De La
Matyr? and why does the Hon. Abram s.
Hewitt, one of the most prominent and best
informed democrats of New York. say to the
reporter of democratic paper that. ''the
revival of the iron trade is the legitimate re-
suit of the revival of business generakV z"
In the Hardware Reporter of the 10Th
inst, paper published in Pittsburg, which
devotes its attention to collecting and dis
persng correct information relating to the
iron and metal trade, we find the following
reports from its correspondents
From Chicago Everything looks highly
encouraging, owing in part 10 the revival of
the iron trade, and the steady advance in the
market during the past few weeks, is bring
ing into line those hitherto idle furnaces &c.
From New York-''In all respects the iron
market wears healthy appearance"
From Louisville, Kentucky-''rhe condi-
ton of the market is most favorable to fur
mace men and mill owners
From Cleveland, Oho-'sThc market for
metals is certainly advancing"
From Pittsburg, Pa, 1.-The market con-
tinues very firm, and stocks are said to be
low"
The Bulletin of the Iron and Steel Makers
Association. SAYS that ''the increased demand
for iron and steel, which commenced to man
ifest itself in 1873, has continued through
1879, and is accompanied with Improvement
in prices
In view Of the above reports from the most
reliable and impartial authorities, has the
Reverend gentleman from Indiana, been
guilty Of misrepresentation, or is he too
grossly ignorant to become public instruct
or of the intelligent voters of Maine?
