&c is hard TO conceal amazement at the
INSCRIPTIONS and wicked misrepresenta-
tions of Republican denagogues in refer
ence to the actions of the governor of
Maine and his council. They have broken
out in almost uncomfortable fury, and are
appealing to the people to prepare to fight,
and are threatening resistance to the au-
thorities and violence. And Republican
journals, which ought to tell the truth,
take up the misrepresentation of these
Maine demagogues and sanction their
menaces without regard to the facts OF the
case, without even stopping to inquire
what the facts are. 1t does not seem to
occur to them that a man of the high
character and standing of Governor Garce-
Ion would hardly commit illegal and lnfa-
nous acts, which would cover him and his
party with ineffable disgrace. especially
when the majority of the people OF the
state are with him in sentiment: a sane
man, backed by the abiest political and
legal talent in the State, would not be
likely to doom himself and sink bis party
beyond the possibility OF resurrection ID

They Want Another War.

There seems to be settled purpose on
the part of the horde of hungry politicians
of the Blaine school, in Maine, to precipi-
q conflict between Governor GarceloD and
the people. Tue Republican party fairly
itches for wal, and would delight to see the
country plunged sintoa civil conflict, if pV
so doing. the Republican party could be
retained in power, And right here it is
proper to ask where would Blaine and his
howlers of the state committee be if war
actually began? Would be raise a reei
ment and go to the front? Not be, but as
10 the days of the rebellion. Blaine and the
majority of his stalwart revoiutionists
would be at home whooping up the eau
cuses and packing the state conventions
for the Republican thieves whose motto is
rule or ruin.

At the Grant reception at Philadelphia,
Colored people were excluded from the ban
quet hall, nor were they even allowed a
place on any of the committees. And yet
these truly loyal stalwarts who are NAM
aging the boom, profess to love the negro
and are continually telling the people all
about the down trodden African. Hypo-
crisy and staIwartism go hand in hand, a
fact which unbiased and intelligent people
are beginning to understand.

Suppose Gov. Garcelon should call on
Hayes for troops, what would the fraud at
