will return to their old party this year; that
the combined Democratic and Greenback
vote will be in the neighborhood of 60,0OO,
and that the Republican vote will be between
$4,000 and 10000.
Kaloch is bad lot. SO is De Young. Both
are dirty. They INDUCED in bad Language
toward each other-a very bad practice
Neither told the whole truth about the other
1t would take long time. 1t would be nc
loss to the world if Kalloch should die of Dc
Young's bullet, or De Young of a tight cravat
Last year the California workingmen wor
shipped De Young. This year they worship
Kalloch. Why do they worship unprinci
pied editors or adulterous preachers when
there are honest workingmen living?-Bosto1
Herald.
HERE in Maine it is the adtllterous editor
and the unprincipled preacher that are the
objects of Greenback worship. Things are
twisted, that's all.
A GREENBAcK editor of this city when
asked how he liked the fizzle at City Hal
last Saturday evening replied: 'How die
you like our rally at City Hall Sunday even
ing?" On being asked if he regarded De La
Matyr's meeting as Greenback rally he
said that he did. This is what one of the
leading Greenbackers says, and shows fol
what purpose they were anxious to have
De La Matyr preach in the churches. Nc
wonder the Methodists objected to holding
Greenback rallies in their place of worship
on the Sabbath.

Mcclellan has effectually disposed of the
Argus statements about county taxes. Thai
deficiency is certain on account of tax re-
ductions is the opinion not only OF Mr.
Mcclellan, but of the entire board of County
Commissioners, Republican and Democratic
1t is altogether probable that the condition
of other counties is similar to that of Cum
berland county, and that the claims made
by the Demnitionals elsewhere have as little
foundation as those made by the Argus.
THE Leader says the excerpts purportine
to be from the World and Times are the ut
terance of their editorial opinions. They
say the excerpts are not. We are willing to
leave the matter there. People can believe
these reputable journals or they can believe
the Leader-a paper that has the brazen au-
dacity to say that Eugene Hale is writing uI
the Maine canvass for the Boston Herald
the boss lie yet put out by the Demnitionals
in this campaign.
THE argus got hold of bad man wheI
it attacked the editor of the Belfast Journal
That paper says in reply:
The Portland Argus refers to the editor o.
this paper as Hercules" He was the muscu,
lar chap of mythology-the Argus inclines to
mythS--who performed some terrible laborS
1t is nowhere recorded that the task OF making
the Argus truthful was ever imposed upon him
and so he was never defeated. The phlloSoph
ical Hamlet remarks
Let Hercules himself do what he may
The cat will NEW, the dog will have his day!
And so the Argus will continue to bark.
THE Pennington Chronicle hears ''oi
quite number of Democrats that propose
to vote the Republican ticket, and of other:
that say they shall not vote at all; also o.
large numbers of those who belong to the
Greenback party that have returned to the
grand old Republican party, the party O.
honesty, loyalty and honor. Now is thu
time for every true son OF this country t'
strike blow for the peace, welfare ant
perpetuity of this nation"
The LEWISTON Gazette quotes from Mr.
Tilden: ''The differences in the Democratic
party in the United States are transitory and
evanescent, and will disappear in the pres
ence of inevitable events. The principles
upon which the great mass of the Demo
cratic party are agreed on are Fundamental
and eternal'' That is to say, the Green
hackers are to be thrown aside as soon as
the Democrats have made ga judicious use'
of them.
The Democrats at City Hall Wednesday
evening were not so.zealous in the display
of affection for the Greenbackers as they
were at the time of the double-headed Con
vention, though Mr.. S. G. Andrews did lit
tie cooing They no longer recognized the
Greenbackers as long-lost brethren, though
still willing to admit that the soft-money
men might be some of their wives distant
relations.
THERE is disgust among the Greenback
ers of York. Their committee has sold then
out. and substituted for the Greenbackel
d. A. Hill on the Senatorial ticket the
Democrat Josiah A. Stover As Hill ant
Stover are partners in business the Green
hackers think the job must have been pu
up from the first.
A NOTE to the Kennebec Journal from ;
town in Knox County says: 81 have jus
returned this evening from the organization
of Davis club. We start with IS good mel
and true. Only A of this number voted tn
Republican ticket last year. Five of tn
number voted Greenback."
Every time the soldier takes cup of coffee
ne pays the bondholder some of the none.
he received as soldier.--Leader.
That is untrue, and the Leader knows
or else is so densely ignorant that 1t pele'eS
there is tax on coffee. In either case
demonstrates its unftness to be a Leo"er o
the people.
One official gentleman who has spoken IL
several towns of York county, and who cam
from Washington entirely confident OF repub
lican success has quite changed his confden
air and virtually admits defeat to be inevitable
argus.
