Maine ViIIainy.

The Republicans all over the State OF
Maine are holding large indignation
meetings for the purpose of giving pub
lie expression to their contempt for the
Democratic Governor and Council OF
that State for their villainy in throw
ing out Senators and Representatives
enough to give to the Democrats and
Greenbackers a majority of members
in each house of the Legislature. The
Republican candidate for Governor,
while he did not have a majority of the
popular vote of the people over both
the Democratic and the Greenback can
didates for Governor, had a majority
over either one of them. But in this
case, there being no choice by the peo-
pie, the Legislature will have to elect
the Governor, and United States Sem
atOr will also have to be elected by the
same Legislature; hence the traudu-
lent counting Of the Governor and his
Council in order to secure the election
of Democrats to these two offices. By
the same fraudulent system of count
ing the Republican State officers, who
had been fairly elected, are to be thrown
out and their places filled by Democrats
and Greenbackers.
This is aswindle on large scale, and
the people of Maine never ought to sub
NIT to 1t, and we trust that there is yet
enough of that old fire of liberty and
patriotism left in the veins of the Re-
publicans of Maine to resist and over
throw these petty usurpers.
Senator Hamlin, in aspeeoh to a large
crowd at Bangor the other day, said
the great crowd had assembled to "say
that they will not submit to this at
tempted subversion of their rights. |
The duty Of the citizens of Maine is
to shun every one of these men as you
would pestilenCe; make every one of |
them an Outcast and Wandering Jew. |
Point the finger of scOrn at them; shun |
them as moral lepers, who are covered |
with sores from head to foot. Make
them feel that they are execrated by an
and indignant people. If
you allow the Governor and Council to
usurp the power of determining what
they have no right to determine, what
IS there in the name Of Republic but
nockery and fraud? If our people rise
Up in their majesty and demand their
lights the usurpers will not dare refuse
hem. There is moral power in a
reeman Of Maine before which ras-
'ality will quail"

lF the newspaper talk is a correct in
dication of the sentiments and wishes
of majority Of the Republican party
in this State in reference to the choice
of a United States Senator, it is that
Hon. James A. Garfield is their first
choice. We have no disposition to ad-
vocate the claims and fitness of any one
of the several candidates for that posi-
tion above another. Either one of
those who are now named in cOnnec-
tion with the Senatorship would do
honor to the position. But at the pres
ent writing the drift Of public senti-
ment seems to be favorable to General
Garfield, but what the nominating eau
Gus may do when the members of the
Legislature get together at Columbus
is quite uncertain. The candidates all
have able and influential friends, and
what influences may be brought to bear
upon the members of the caucus can
not be fOretOld.

A VERY important question seems tC
have been sprung upon the public quite
lately. The question is simply who is
the Oldest editor in the State, or who
has served the greatest number of years
in the editorial profession. Brother J.
SaxtOn, Of Urbana, who has just retired
from editorial life, claims to have served
forty-one years, and Brother w. II. P.
Denny, now temporarily retired from
the tripod, claims to have served forty
two years in the editorial profession,
and claims to have served longer time
in editorial life than any other man in
the State. 1t perhaps makes but little
difference to the moving world In this
generation who is the oldest editor in
Ohio, but, without any design of TAX
ing the poetry out Of the respective
claims Of our esteemed brothers and
ex-edltors, we will merely suggest to
them that we know an editor who is
still In the editorial harness, and who
has had an actual experience of forty
five years in the editorial harness, hay
ing commenced his editorial life in 1880,
and been out Of 1t but four years during
the whole time. But modesty forblds
that we should name him. We will
merely state that he Is still hale and
hearty, and expects to do valiant SER
vice for several years to come.

that there will be no disturbance of the
finance at this session of Congress.
That's right: the people do not want
any tinkering with the finances at pres

people for any tinkering with the cur
rency. Let well enough alone.

An EXTRAORDINARY FEMININE
FREAK-We were walkikg along the
street some days ago. where the side
walk was not very wide and the gutter
was very deep, when we met several Ia
dies walking abreast. We were getting
ready as usual. to perform the orthodox
exploit which is in accordance with sOcie-
tvs ''statute for such cases made and
provided, - that is. to step down into the
gutter, so as to allow room for the Ia
dies to walk on ahreastf when a strange
and unaccountable phenOmenenon pre-
sented itself and rivited our attention.
One of the ladies actually stepped be-
hind the other. evidently with the design
of allowing room for us to pass them
without stepping into the gutter at all
We do not happen to know the name
of the lady who conducted herself Sc
stranglv. We have been thinking a
good deal about the matter since. and
we are still at a loss to account for this
extraordinary freak of our fair friend.
Should this meet her eye, we take the
liberty of informing her that such con
duct on the street is likely to make hei
conspicuous. We cannot say that we
can condemn her act, but we do say
that if it should be frequently repeated
she is likely to get a reputation for de-
cided eccentricity.

NEWSPAPER PATRONAGE-The

of defining and understanding the phrase

Many long and dreary years i'm the publish

on us that newspaper patrOnag Is a word of

of mankind are either ignorant Of the correct
definition or are dishonest in strict biblical

as changeabe as the chameleon

his paper stopped. This Is called patronage
One man brings fifty cent advertisement

you decline, he goes of mad. Even this Is
called patronage.
Another man don't take your paper-it is
too high price; hut he borrows and reads il

GENERAL JAMES SHIELDS.

James Shields was poor
As wealth now counts, he had not much
Nor aid he put his trust in banks,
And bonds, and syndicates, and such
For it was still his simple plan
To serve his country, and be man.
His life was clean.
Called on and on, from place to place,
Distinguished both in war and peace,
With strong, swift limbs he ran the race,
Nor turned aside from any toll
To gather gain or search for spoil.
A bold, bright man.
He freely spent his life and gold,
And lived within the present time
As if he never might grow old
But we may rest assured his God
Lies not with him beneath the sod
Yet he was rich.
In spite of all the blows of fate.
In spite of poverty and years,
The hero owned a grand estate,
Better than any broad domain
y life and conscience free from stain.
Neglected much.
A mere scene shifter on the stage
Where he had played heroic parts,
And still tOiler in his age
The heart that breaks but never Yields
Beats bravely in the breast of Shields.
James Shields was poor.
'Tis true, in these, our sordid DAYS,
That honest poverty is not
A common cause of general praise
But Shields will be memory yet,
While pocket patriots we forget.

FLIEs.-The Society for Promoting
the Condition of Flies has issued anOth-
er address to the country through the
Boston 1drertiSer. 1t reminds us that
in the warm days at this season heavy
and unhappy flies crawl out from their
hiding places and walk sluggishly about
on the window panes. According to
the calculations of Professor Unborn.
each of these is now about to lay 1000
eggs. If each of these eggs produces a
fly which lays2 ,000eggs before the first of
June, and from each of these 2. ZOO young
ones are hatched which are ready to lay
before the first of July, to furnish each
a brood before the first of August the
number of descendants from this single
ancestor by the first of September is six
teen trillion. 1t is, therefore, we may
conclude, the duty of every one who
sees a tly in these days to incontinently
deInolish it, with all the energy and
sweet satisfaction which can be inspired
by the knowledge that he is annihilating
at one fell swoop, Is, 600, ,O0O, 900 of these
concentrated Gehennas on wings.
