Mr.. j. F. Vim, who is nominated as
one of the greenback candidates for SEN
ator in this county, was last year nominal
ed as candidate for County Commissioner
in the democratic county convention.
After the ballot was taken at that
convention, and before the result was
announced, Mr.. jackson of Hallowell
stated that there were reports that
VIM was leaning towards the green
hackers, and a committee was raised to
investigate the matter The committee
subsequently reported that Vim was a ST.
mon pure hard money democrat. and on
that report, he was nominated. Is Winn Il
hard money democrat now or a green
hacker? Let us hear from the National
Tribune on this subject.

We repeat, that the ticket is exception
ally strong, strong in all the elements that
should command popular support. 1t has
our most sincere and cordial endorsement.
We hear but one expression in regard TO
it--that il is splendid ticket from top to
bottom.
Now as the greenbackcrs and the soft
money democrats have given out that they
intend TO carry kennebec county at the
next election, and have been busily at
work to that end for several months. let
the republicans of this county take off
their coats and show what can be done
with a good ticket and a united, vigorous
and earnest party behind it, working for
honest and just principles against truck
and-dicker combination. Begin work at
once, in the school district and neighbor
hood. Republicans in the rural district
are especially called upon to do individual
work, for it is in the rural districts that
the opposition boast their strength lies and
their gains are to be.
The term of Daniel II. Thing, as County
Commissioner of Kennebec, will expire on
the 3lst day of December next. lie was
elected to this office by the republicans of
Kennebcc county, and has held it nearly
six wears. Had he continued in the re-
publican party he would not have been
reelected and he knew it. Saturday last
he was nominated in the greenback con-
vention at Gardiner. as one of the coalition
candidates for Senator, his colleague on
the ticket being an old Bourbon democrat
of the most radical stripe. Mr.. Thing
hopes to keep himself in office by chang
ing parties, but there's many IA Slip
&c. The greenbackers have been making
a great cry over the acquisition of Thing
to their party but it's a very little Thing
to make such fuss about. And moreover
in nominating this Thing they seem to
have entirely gone back on the declara-
tons they have made that their party will
have nothing to do with the old office hold
ers of the republican party.

There ia one serious error into which
Greenback advocates are falling. 1t is an
nalogous TO that which existed in the old
anti-slavery times. 1t is an error which is
incident TO any reform. 1t is this. The
danger af losing sight ofth system, while
we attact those who lawfully engage u der
it.
To illustrate. The anti-slavery reform
was very much retarded by enthusiastic
writers and speakers, who for got all about
the system of slavery which existed under
the law, and poured out the vial of their
wrath against slave holders. They forgot
that slave holders could not do as they
pleased, any more than they could. They
forgot that under the laws where they
lived, they could not hold slaves, while
under the laws where the slave holder
lived, they could not free them
This was the great mistake of the anti.
slavery party, they lost sight Of the system
while they thundered their anathamas
against men under the system, many Of
whom would have been glad to escape
from it il they could.

Of all the dismal recollections connected
with the civil war which was raging dur.
ing the year 1868, none have left more
lasting impression than::the reflection that
the mothers, wives, and little ones at home
we're suffering: for the need Of money, which
the Government were unable to promptly
pay. The misery thus infected left an i'm.

war could not effect, and when, after

that 1t would be left to the people

SOlOu Chase at Faneuil Hall.

At the Fsneuil Hall meeting, held last
week, Solon Chase spoke as 70 lows:
Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen: The old
cradle of liberty has got a live baby in it
to night. This greeting to the rag baby
does my heart good, it cheered my soul to
sit here to night and hear my friends talk;
and when thought of the historic associ-
atiens of this hall, tell you l felt the
same as our forefathers did when they were

you long. have just come out of the po-
litical campaign in Main--the hottest one
ever known in our State, and why? Be
cause it was conflict of ideas Mark you
it was not jack knives and State issues. 1t
WAS a conflict of ideas between the owners
of funded wealth and the industries of the
country. No such conflict has ever been
known in the State of Main. Four years
ago that conflict began. A little crowd
came out then numbering 500. The next
year we had $500. prolonged applause-)
The next $4,000, and this year we have got
$4,000. We have had hurlded against us
the whole force of the Republican party,
from one end of the country to the other,
backed by the combined power of 1000
national banks.
This was an organized movement We
had simply an unorganized party. Our
movement was simply the uprising of the
unorganized masses, who fought shoulder
to shoulder against the Republican and
Democratic armies. In that conflict, al.
though they fought us hard, we made
gain of 10, 900 votes. [Great applause The
Republicans led the Greenbackers by from
$1,000 to 10000 this year, but they failed
to elect their governor by from 1000 to
5000. There is bit of history connected
with that circumstance. When a party
elects its candidate by the back door
through the legislature, that seals the
doom of that party. That was the state of
the whig party and the old Democratic
party that went out Of power dozen years
ago. Now, my friends, a word in relation
to the Massachusetts campaign. To bring
the issues to point, this fight is right

try and the funded wealth. .lapplause']

right, but otherwise you rob an unborn
