mated by the greenbackers has been expect
ing the endorsement of the democrats, but to
his surprise the hard-money democrats NOM
mated Lowell Sidelinger of Newcastle. A
large proportion of the democrats of Lincoln

money men.
Over four and half million bushels of
wheat were shipped to Europe last week from
our principal Atlantic ports, and during the
six weeks ending last Saturday our exports of
wheat exceeded those for the corresponding
period Of 1878 by the enormous amount of
800 900 bushels The soft-money orators
in Maine and Ohio should be careful not to
stumble upon these figures while they are
drawing their dismal imaginative sketches of
the prostration of American industry. Tn

The other day an ardent grcenbackcr was
saying in a most positive manner that he did
not believe there were any such number of
changes us the republicans claimcd,-that
they could not point out the men, and that he
did not believe there was onc-it there was,
he should like to see him. \ man who had
been standing by, a listener to the converse
ton, at this point asked our greenback friend
to take good square look at him, at the
same time saving that he voted the green
back ticket last year, but that he should not
do it again, but might be looked for among
the republicans. He says he don't feel Il bit
| lonesome. --De1tey gazette.
! DR.. Calvin Scavey, of Bangor, has been
democrat of the most pronounced type. He
says that he believes with jackson, that the
National government is above that of the
State; and also, that our money should have
a hard, gold basis. Since the slavery ques-
ton has been removed from politics, he finds
that the only party that stands upon what he
has been wont to look upon as democratic
principles is the republican party; and he
says that if his life is spared until the next
election day in Maine, he shall surely vote
for Daniel f. Davis, to be the next Governor
of this State. The democrats and green
hackers are much wrought up by this stand
which DR.. Seavey has taken.
Scion Chase was announced and extensive
ly advertised to speak at Foxcrott Academy
grounds on Wednesday of last week. But
he was not there, and it seems there was good
reason for supposing that the managers knew
well enough that he would not be there, but
used his name to draw the crowd. The only
speaker present was the hummer Troup, film
sy in argument but strong in lungs. There
was considerable feeling manifested by some
who had come from a distance, at the trans
parent humbug which had been imposed up
on them, and one grecnbacker. after hearing
Troup's harangue declared that he had got
quite enough of snch stuff, and should halt.

A correspondent, who says he is a green
hacker of republican antecedents, calls attcn-
ton to the fact that the fusion ticket in An
droscoggin has been so made up by the lead
ers, as to practically give both of the Sena-
tors--the only political offices-to the demo-
Gratis with reference to the election of dem
ocratic Senator next year. One of the nomi-
nees for the Senate, Mr.. Tibbetts, says the
correspondent, is. and always has been a
straight democrat; and the other, Mr.. Lane,
has always been democrat, and although
Just now greenbacker may be counted upon
by the democrats next year. Our corrres-
pendent asks if greenbackers of republican
antecedcnts, who are opposed to the democ-
racy on the Southern question, and don't pro-
pose to be bagged by the democratic leaders
are going to be blind-folded to the supper. of
that of Senator. -Leristoa Journal.
