THIS neat one is from Secretary Schurz:
A great many years ago, when the cholera
had been ravaging some parts of this coun-
try, met cholera doctor who sold med-
cines for that particular disease. When the
cholera disappeared he was the unhappiest
man in the land; ''for," sal he, Chow shall
1 now get rid of my medicines?" And so it
is with the imitation Democracy of this State
(Ohio). When business is reviving and
prosperity is setting in, how shall they get

Remember that the only reason why your
State taxes were not reduced this year was
the Republican deficiency of three hundred
and ten thousand dollars last year.-M0ine
STANDARD.
REMEMBER that the deficiency" not
caused by increase of expenditures but by the
mistake of theLegislature in 1877 in levying
tax of only three mills on dollar, will be
paid out of the tax levied by the Republican
Legislature of 1873, and turned into the
Treasury this year. Remember that it does
not come out of the tax levied this year.
Remember that tie deficiency" has nothing
to do with the non-reduction of the State
tax by the fusionists this year. Remember
that the fusionists imposed a tax this year
as great as was imposed las year, though
they had no deficiency to care for. Remem-
ber that the Standard has misstated the
deficiency" multiplying it by the mystic
number three

Forward!

Republicans. you are to-day going to the
polls. For what? To administer scathing
and lasting rebukc to the fusion party; to
deal the finishing blow of the year to Green
back error. Let us give the coalition
Waterloo defeat Our advices show that
the only thing necessary is to poll every Re
publican vote and the work is accomplished.
But, Republicans, mere success is not suf-
ficient. You owe it to yourself to elect Gov
ernor Davis by handsome majority, one
worthily representative of Maine. This can
readily be realized by effective, energetic
work. An exhaustive canvass, accurately
made has just been completed. 1t shows
that we hold the votes; it now rests with
you to bring them out. Republicans! We
call upon every one of you, individually, to
do his best, and the thing will be done.
From the time the polls are opened until the
vote of your ward or village is declared,
your motto should be, Work' See to it that
every doubtful or Indifferent voter is brought
to the ward-room, and his b llot counted
upon your side. If he promises to come
make it your duty to see that he does so,
even if you have to call round for him once
twice, thrice, to. effect this. The advices
from all parts of the State are such as to give
emph 1tic reason for confidence and satisfac-
tion. From York to Aroostook come reports
of the most encouraging progress in favor of
sound finance, and of patriotic work faith
fully done. Our friends, fifty realizing the
Importance of the emergency, are rallied in
solid column, and will make splendid fight.
Do not leave somebody else to do the work,
but let every man take bold i'll earnest and
do his part to make victory not only sure,
but overwhelming. Let Republican zeal
and perseverance only end with the closing
of the polls, and the result will be sure to
well repay us for our eXertiOnS.

The Greenbdck Labor Chronicle, which
has done almost as much lying since its
foundation as the Argus has during the last
weeks of this campaign, is finding out itself
how pleasant it is to be lied about, and thus
comes to its own defense:
1t is reported that E. Y. Turner said on the
platform in Auburn Hall last Saturday after
the roughs had forced the convention there as
sembled to adjourn to another place to transact
its business that Col. Blood bought into the
Chronicle with money furnished him by a
prominent Republican, for the purpose of split
ting the Greenback party in the State; that he
even went so far as to name the gentleman
from whom the money came. This story is
currently reported by other prominent fusion
lists.
Col. Blood takes this opportunity to say that
he does not know; that he never saw the gem
tleman referred to- that he never received a
dollar from or through him or any other Re-
publican, either to buy into or to run the Chron-
icle. Any one who makes or repeats this
charge utters a villainous libel and the truth
is not in him. The editors of the Chronicle
conformity challenge these INSCRIPTIONS libel
ers to produce scintilla of proof to sustain the
charge that dollar of Republican money was
ever furnished them. In case they fail they
shall stand forever with the brand of falsehood
on their backs. The columns of the Chronicle
are open to you for the proof. Furnish it or
eat your words! We say, It's false! 1t remains
for you to prove yonr infamous charges or for
felt the right to be called gentlemen.

REMEMBER that the Greenback party is
the anti-prosperty party. 1t would not
have the people prosperous if it could help
it, 1t mourns over the revival of business
and the evidences of better times, and de-
sires to substitute fiat dollar for the honest
dollar the laboring man now receives.

many hard-money Democrats who refuse to
follow the fusion. But the men who make
this accusation always forget TO tell their
hearers the meaning of the out-and-out hard

four consecutive years. Did the Democrat,
ic leaders who supported these resolutions,
mean what they said, or were they lying to
and deceiving the people?

THE Cincinnati Commercial confesses the

not unlimited coinage of silver right away?
Because we should not proceed alone In
matter that is to greater extent than any
thing else in the affairs of mankind, inter-
national; and, if we throw open our mints to
silver while those Of other nations are closed,
we would disturb our own business without
correcting the worldwide alteration. In

standard with all its advantages, and fall
upon the single silver standard, which, in

year ago:
A 'sWorkingman's' candidate for, say the
office of Governor, is more than likely to be
a man who has never had any experience in
public duties, or some demagogue who uses
the Workingmen's party simply as stepping
stone to his own advancement and its subse-
quent betrayal Because man has become
skilled in some particular branch OF labor or
has, by any MEANS become popular among his
fellow laborers, it no more follows that he
would make good Governor than that sue.
cessful tinancier would make good general OF
an army, or an eminent college professor
practical bank president, and if by any turn OF
the political wheel OF fortune, such an un-
trained man should be selected to an impor-
tant OF responsible position, it requires no very
far-seeing intelligence to see in the light OF
past experience, the bad results which are
pretty sure to follow.-Argus, Jan. s, 1878.

Boston Journal. For man who has
been put forward as the representative
of laboring men, Mr.. Duplex Smith, the
Greenback candidate for Governor in Maine,
has a rather callous way of dealing with
people in trouble. Mr.. c. f. Jordan of Old
town publishes letter accusing Mr. Smith
of exacting from a man to whom he had
lent money, twenty per cent interest; CT
endeavoring to compel men in his service to
take fifty cents on the dollar for their labor;
of taking the last dollar from crippled lum-
herman in his employ; of harassing his debt
ors and taking even their furniture to meet
his demands, and of using his power as a
mortgage to compel men to vote for him.
Mr. Smith has not yet found it convenient
to answer these accusations, and it would
appear that he is more than commonly
thrifty in his money-lending operations.
