THE Democrats and Greenbackers of
Maine have made another trade-the
Democrats furnishing the principles
and the Presidential candidate and the
Greenbackers the Gubernatorial candi-
date. In consideration of Democratic
support of the Greenback candidate
for Governor the Greenbackers are to
support the Democratic candidate for
President. This is clear indication
of the fact that the Greenback party
of Maine is not a party of principle
but political party laboring especial
ly for the spoils of office, as it has an
nounced its Abandonment of principles
in its last coalition. If this compact
is faithfully kept the Greenback can

Much discussion has been INDUCED
in as to who is entitled to the credit of
Garfield S nomination. 1t is most gen.
orally conceded that the break which
led to his nomination was first made by
sixteen of the Wisconsin delegation
on the thirty-fourth ballot followed
by twenty-nine votes from Indiana on
the thirty-ffth. The Wisconsin and
Indiana delegations were not unit
and they also were uninstructed,
notwithstanding all of which they fl
nally cut very important figure in

Hon F. L. gibson, of Pierce county,
who represented this district at Chi

consin $ making the break for Garfield.
The General being an old acquaintance
he early became satisfied that when
the break came, Garfield was the man
to go to. For that reason he strongly
urged that course upon the delegation
and the result justified his good judg-
ment and gave to the party a most
satisfactory candidate.--EaU claire

COWLEY BACKED BY THE CHURCH

The Episcopal Church Of New York still
stands by the brute Cowley who has been
sent to the State Prison for starving children.
To stand sponsor to such a mountain of
iniquity only brings disgrace to any denomi-
nation The SAP Francisco Chronicle hits
some well deserved blows in the following
The Chronicles New York correspondent
intimates that considerable sympathy is felt
in certain church circles for the reverend
scoundrel who has been sent to the penitsn-
tiary for starving little children censigned to
his care and other atrocious crimes against
humanity. Such sympathy, if it exists, re-
fleets little credit upon the sympathizers or
upon the clerical profession. Cowley vas
fairly tried by an impartial larry, and though
he was ably defended the evidence was so
overwhelming as to leave no doubt as to his
guilt That man in "holv order" should be
sent as a criminal to penal Institution where
he formerly occupied the position of chaplain
may naturally be regarded by his clerical
friends as in a certain sense disgrace to the
cloth, but when public opinion is unanimous
in condemnation of the criminal, and there is
no prerense in any quarter that he has not been
justly convicted, the disgrace cannot be wiped
out by attempting to shield him from punish
c ,use with the criminal, his clerical brs hrea
will 'only bring npoa themselves share of
the condemnation, by showing that they are
more solictous to protect the good nans Of
their ordsr, even at the expense of shielding
seoundre, than to proaote the ends of JUS
tice. We trust that the report to the effect that
Bishop Potter and his clergy about to at
tempt some intsrpostion in the Shepherds"
behalf may prove unfsundsd 1t is quite Ger
tain that sseh an attempt could have other
effect than to damage the cause Of religion,
and create even a greater scandal than the
crimes of this clerical hypocrite. To see the
clergy aanlfssting a disposition to stand by
one another throagh thick and thin, and band
ing together to shield one of their order from
justice, would be spectacle calculated to re-
vive unpleasant recoections of some of the
dissracefal and odious incidents in medieval
history.
