In thoir desperate, search for some
small speck upon the shining armor of
the immaculate standard-bearer of the.
Democracy, the Radicals discovered
that. Hancock had. once had some con-
nection with anioil company that had
not been a success, and jumping at con-
clusions, yelled out s'fraud! fraud!"
In full cry. Investigation, however,
soon cleard up the matter, and proved
conclusively that Hancock had himself
been a victim In the oil speculation,
losing largely of his own funds, and in
no way Responsible for the loss of other
peoples money. This was sad, very,
sad and dispiriting, It must be ad-
mitted, and calculated to danpen the
ardor Of the most ghoulish Radical in
existence, but to make matters worse,
to heap Goals of fire, so to speak, on the
disgusted record-seekers, the oil story
had the effect of reviving memories Of
Mr.. Garfield's connection with Wild
cat oil company in 1865. -.
This story was obtained from the
lips of the Rev. John G. Stoughton, of
Aurora, Ill, by the Chicago Times,
and is corroborated by the secretary of

story is plain, straight-away state

mony of others he will 'have to accept
the odium that attaches to an act be-
sides which even the De Golyer busi-

The allegation is that Gar6eld,' while
a member of Congress and while Off
ciatfng as a CampbelIite preacher in
Chicago; undertook to dispose of, and
did sell, large quantities OF the stock of
the stHogback Oil Company" which,
he declared, was enormously valuable,
the deposit Of oil being ineNhaustible;
that he represented John ". ,Farwell,
the millionaire dry goods dealer, as
being president Of the company, and
people humbugged on tho ground Of
his position In Congress and his we'll
known piety. 1t turned out that the
company was fraud, that no Oil had
ever been struck, that Mr.. Farwell was
not the president, and that those who
listened to the persuasive pleadings
of pious Jeems Garfield and invested
their sheckels, have never been favored

Correction.

DIR. Parker of the Aroostook North Star,
having made unfounded charges against Mr..
Jesse Drew, custom house officer at Fort
Fairfield. in connection with Mr.. Drew's dis
charge of the duties of that Office makes the
following correction in the last issue of his
paper
I'VE take the earliest opportunity present.
ed to say. in connection with the recent ex-
posurcs of the custom houses. that the report
which we have read does not, as we at pres
ent understand it, impicate the Fort Fairfield
Office to any very great extent. The earl er
investigation showed a deficiency. but Col
lector Drew was able to prove that he had
made proper returns of money received for
duties. though Berry had given no credit TO
the Fort Fairfield office. Whatever irregu-
larities have existed in the transaction of bus
mess of that office have been such as met the
approval of the Office at IIoulton. We are
pleased to believe and say that no money is
traced to Mr.. Drew"

Why Should Soldiers Vote for
Hancock?

Why should the soldiers vote for Garfield
in preference to Hancock? l will tell you
why because he is nominated by the loyal
party of the country. he is nominee of the
party which sustained the Union and broke up
the rebellion; because he is soldier and on
the right side; because he is nominated BY
the party which has by every act of theirs shown
lavalty to the Union and honor to the sol
diers because he is a nominee of the party
which has in every instance shown the prefer
ence in giving the disabled soldiers places of
honor and trust the party which fostered the
widows and orphans of all who fell by the
rebel bullet the party which does not believe
in giving up all we fought for during the re-
bcllion; the nominee of the party which has
given equal rights to all because he is an
able soldier; because he is an able statesman !:
because he is not an arstOcrat; because he
will be friendly to the poOr-he was poor
himself, born in a log house. and by his own
hands and brain has worked himself up to be
the choice of the loval party of this country
for President. These are all good reasons
why the old veterans should rally round the
flag of our country.
Well, why is not General Hancock Just as
good man for President as Garfield? He
was a good soldier and fought on the right
side. Yes, he a good soldier and fought
on the right side: but. am sorry to say. he
is on the wrong side now. He is nominated
by the dsloyal element of the country. and
has accepted the nomination of the party which
is in favor of breaking up this union of States :;
in .avor of paying indemnity to the South for
losses sustained by the war; in favor of pen
sioning rebel soldiers. He is nominated by
the party which in every instance where they
could, discharged disabled Union soldiers and
put in their places ex-rebel soldiers or copper
heads who in their cowardice during the war
called us Lincolns hirelngs. He is nomlna-
ted by the party which is in favor of giving
back to the South what they lost during the
war; the party which deprives a large
portion of the people of the right
of suffrage. But how do you know
he will submit to all this? How can he
help it? He does not claim to be states
man; he will only be tool in the hands of
Southern politicians and Northern dema-
gogues. No, no; the loyal old veterans will
never vote for Hancock for president on the
rebel side. when you place equally as good
general and an ADLER statesman on the Union
side. A SOLDIER.

Hancock learned his trade. and learned it
well. He shot all right, but he don't vote as
he shot Ii his mind is alive he must keenly
feel the remorse of having for four years
worked with such will to reduce the demo-
cratic majority. If dead democrats could vote
who have fallen before his victorious BOYS in
Blue, they would swell his majority in e. cry

Nor will his failure 10 win his coveted prize
be the first sad example.
The two or three weakened republicans
who have declared for Hancock haye been
widely paraded in the democratic organs.
These will show less eagerness in mention
ing the declaration of the Hon. Alexander
Ferguson. of Cincinnati. for Garfield. He
has long been known rs one of the ablest
lawyers in that city. and as an active and in
fluential democrat ofIhe ultra sort. To him,
perhaps. more than to any other man. is due
the successful completion of the Cincinnati
Southern Railroad. He was member of the
Ohio Senate at the same time Gen. Garfield
was. When questioned as to his reasons for
refusing to support Hancock he indicated his
belief that Gen. Garfield was more competent
to shape the policy of the Government for
the next four years than the democratic can
diiate. The accession of Mr. Ferguson will
be worth more to the republicans than several
carloads of such men as the democrats have
been Growing over.

The State Steal and Somerset
County.

The fusion tabuators of Somerset Coun-
ty have sent out report indicating to the
rest of the world that they are going to
have fusion in that county if they have to
fight for it. They are going to whip ev-
cry democrat and greenbacker in to sup
port ticket which will be an Endorsement
of the State Steal. The few men who
have sent out this proclamation appear to
us to have undertaken a big job. They
may speak for themselves. but have they
authority to speak for the greenback and
democratic voters of that county when
they pledge them to vote for fusion and
the State Steal?
Somerset county was one of the local-
ties in which the Contingent conspra-
tors operated boldly. The two largest
towns in the county fell victims to the
fraud. only being prevented from losing
their legal representatives by the decision
OF the Supreme Court and the courageous
action of the legal legislature. Is there
no manhood or decency among the green
hackers and democrats in Somerset coun-
ty that they dare not repudiate the infa-
nous course of Gov. Garcelon and his
