A Word to Town Officers.

We desire TO call the earnest attention
of town officers to the necessity of taking
particular care to have their returns OF
the election absolutely correct. Since we
have seen that Secretary Cove has prosti-
tuted his Office to the basest partisan pur-
pose, giving to lying campaign circular
his official attestation of its correctness.
we are prepared to see him stoop to any
baseness to keep his party in power. Re-
publican town officers are therefore espec-
tally enioined to be sure and have their
returns made to the Secretary of State
correct. Attention to this matter Is of the
greatest Importance. Let our republican
friends in every town have sharp eye To
the making up and sending of the returns
Forewarned is forcarmed.

Campaign Notes.

The greenback organs like ''Thc New Re
ligion in Oxford county, which have said
there was no enthusiasm in the republican
party except among the officeholders, are in
vitcd to give their opinion about the Itch
field republican meeting. Were the 5000
persons present all otficcholders:
A gentleman and prominent business man
of Knox county, who was here to-day, said
that the prospect of republican success in his
section of the State, is much better than had
been expected. The very general revival Of
business is making itself felt, and men who
voted for Smith last year, will vote for Davis
this. He says this is true also of Waldo
county. A hard money democrat remarked
to-day that he could not understand where
the hard times and general depression of bust
ness that the Argus talks about are, as he had
travelled over large part of the State, and
that without finding it, but had found that
business had revived, and that men who were
out of work last year, are employed, and that
debts are being paid.-Press.
Whatever may be urged to the contrary in
this city, the resumption of specie payments
is not only a fact. but re-establshment of
that normal condition of finances least favor
able to the feverish operations of those who
live by specializing. The business of the
country has grown better, fewer men are idle
from necessity, and there has been no time
for fifteen or twenty years, when a dollar
would buy much as it will now of purely
necessary articles.-Saiem Ga -ette.
The respectable democrats of Maine are a
demoralized crowd. The Boston Post des-
cribes them as in the same predcament as the
Abbott democracy of Massachusetts. If they
stand by their organization and vote for Gar
celon their votes are worse than thrown away.
while to vote for Smith is to stultify them
selves and abandon their lifelong principles.
In this dilemma many of them have deter
mined to vote for Davis, as the most forcible
way of expressing their disapproval of the
greenback doctrines. The Post calls upon
them to stand by Garcelon. but its threats
that if they vote the grcenback ticket ''they
will be entitled to no further consideration in
democratic councils" comes too late in the
day. The stampede has already become a
rout.
The man who travels through our neighbor-
ing towns at this time will find, in general,
many evidences of prosperity. Houses and
estates-especially those of the middling and
humber classes, look thrifty and comfortable.
There is never time, and never will be.
probably, when men may not be found in
want of employment: but now, as rule,
people are at work, and the testimony is gen.
eral. among all classes, that the comforts of
life are distributed more evenly than for a
number of years past. The improved con-
dition of the country is acknowledged, and
the people are contented and hopeful of the
future.-Saiem Gazette.
