a MUDDLED CANDIDATE.-The letter oil
acceptance which Hon. j. l.. Smith, the
Greenback candidate for Governor in Me-,
has addressed to the members of that party,
contains so many inaccurate and muddled
statements as TO make it painfully evident
that that gentleman can give no good rea-
son for being the chosen leader of that
party. He tells his supporters, for in
stance, that the financial legislation of
Congress brought about the hard times,
when everybody ought to know that the
legislation referred to was not enacted until
year and half after the panic of 1873
and the business paralysis which followed
Such gross ignorance of current events Is
incomprehensible. Every sentence con-
tains an absurdity, but there is now and
then an expression which is so blindly and
hopelessly mysterious that Mr.. Smith owes
il to his followers and 10 the voters whom
he expects To make converts during the
campaign to explain. For instance: "No
one of its advocates that is, of the present
financial system can now tell If it will
give us more or less money during the
coming year. The quantity of money
which so Immediately affects its value Is
now left wholly to chance" Since the pro-
found treatise on "The Intellectual ObfuS-
tication of Genius in its Relation to the
Harmonies of American Politics" by Dan
lei Pratt, G.. A. r., we have seen nothing

was quite generally observed. Many citi-

their own premises, and a dozen men crop

grounds and upon the common. At 10 30

supplied with an ample lunch at the acad-
envy, BY the ladies of Paris Hill. Coffee
lemonade and pastry tianked the more sub

Ill., The roadsideS are cropped close, un-
slightly brush heaps burned, and the whole
village assumes a neat and tidy appearance.
One advantage of this yearly feld-day is
observed in the fact that so many persons
have cleared about their own premises and
take pride in Keeping them tidy. Proba-
bly, next year there will be but few who
will wait for the club 10 do this work for
them, and public property will alone de
maud its attention.

4 sCRUPULoUs GREENBACKER.

Gen. Sam Cary may be called a Green
hacker with conscientious SCruplcS; that
is, if we know so little of that person rs
10 give his statements the slightest ere
dence. Gen. Cary is not going To support
the GrccnbaCk ticket in Ohio. Why not:
Because the platform upon which the tick
ct is nominated favors reputation That
is. it declares for an issue of greenbackS
sufficient 10 pay of the bonded debt.
Now Gen. Cary may De entirely sincere
in this matter, but he will scarcely get any
credit therefor. He would not even if
there was no intimation that he and his
clique have not made bargain with the
Democrats to unite to defeat the Republi-
cans. Gen. Cary forgets that nearly every
Greenback Convention in the country has
declared the same thing in effect True,
the Toledo platform does not distinctly
declare for such policy, but it plainly in
dicateS IT, How is the Government going
TO issue money sufficient 10 meet the bust
ness requirements of the country if il
does not use the same for the redemption
of its bonds? There is but one other
method, and that is TO give such issues

payment of the public debt in new issues
of greenbacks, but speakers who limited
at such plan were applauded, and
songs which applied the vilest epithets TO
the bondholders elected storms OF APP
plauSe. Three-fourths of the Greenback
organs and orators openly advocate the
plan of paying of the bonded debt by fresh
issues of greenbacks. Thrce-fourths of
the men who hold to that heresy advocate
that measure as the first TO be adopted.
The bondholder is the bette noire OF the
Greenbacker. To him he applies his most
carefully selected epithets. The bondhold-
er comes in for the most Of the abuse of
the Greenback organ and orator
Now for Gen. Sam Cary, one of the most
reckless of Greenback orators, TO come
before the country and say that he cannot
support the Greenback ticket in Ohio be-
cause it favors reputation and the taxa
ton of incomes is the most cOnsummate
piece of impudence on record. If he will
but study his own speeches he will find
great deal OF loose talk which savors both
of Reputation and Communism.

THE STATE.

The address Of the President of the L.
s. Brewers Association at the nineteenth
annual convention held al st. Louis June
4th. refers 10 Governor GarcelOn'S state
nents before the Maine temperance con-
ventiOn with regard 10 the increasing use
of tobacco, snuff and OpiateS in this State.
and asks
Is the change from the use of intOXicat-
ing liquors to opium an improvement.
Governor GarcelOn has, undoubtedly, done
the people a timely service by directing at
tentiOn 70 this and other evils, and, If fol-
lowed up, il viii be found that the maine
law has not been the grand instrument of
reform which il i claimed To be.
Governor GarcelOn'S temperance address
Is thus turned into an argument in favor of
intoxicating liquors, with an implied advo-
cacy OF beer rs a happy medium between
