WHY HE IL FOR GRANT,

-
Ex-Governor Smythe, of New Hamp-
shire, has been studying the tactics of
the Louisiana and Florida returning
boards in 1876, which made fraud first
triumphant in American politics, and
the recent abortive attempt of Garce-
lon of Maine to follow the example of
j.. Madison Wells & Co. by counting in
candidates who were not elected by the
people. The subject has deeply i'm
pressed MIR. Smythe and he imagines
that there will be trouble in the ,ensll-
ing Presidential contest. To, avert
bloodshed and insure the seating Of the
Republican candidate, he says:
II am for Grant because think he is
the only man who can be seated. We
are going to elect GUS nominee, whoever
it may be, but the Democrats will
count him out unless they are afraid of
him. Grant is the only man in the
United States they are afraid Of They
know that he could call half million
of men around him byraising his little
finger. If we don't elect Grant not one
of us will live TO see another Republic
can President in the White House"
Now, Mr.. Smythe may be endowed
with the gift of prophecy and be able
to foretell at this day who will be elect
ed President of the United States next
November, but there is not a person
possessed of common sense in the whole
country who believes it. The people
are as nearly divided, politically, as
they could be, and the election Of 1876
proved that the difference in the popu-
lar vote was in favor of the Democrats.
How, then, can Mr.. Smythe, more than
any other person Of ordinary intelli-
gence, foretell the result of the next
Presidential election? If the man who
is fairly elected at the polls, whether
he be Republican, Democrat, or some
thing else, cannot be seated. then it is
farcical to hold an election. Politicians
should be taught that while the people
may, and do differ on political affairs,
they believe in respecting the will of
the majority, and will see to it that the
elected candidates, whatever their poll
tics may be, shall be seated.

The ages Of tile prominent candidates

was fifty years of age in January last;
Grant was tifty-seven last April; Sher-
man was fifty-six last May; Washburne
was sixty-three last September; Conk-
ling was fifty in October; Garfield is in

one in October; Thurman reached his
sixty-sixth year in October; Hendricks
was sixty in September; Tilden will be
sixty-six the latter part of this month;
General Hancock is fifty-fye; Seymour
will be seventy next May. In Europe

itary generals have passed their seven
tieth year.

OFFICIAL BUSINESS.

A large envelope, bearing The Wash
ingten. D. c., post mark, and the frank
Of the Department of Agriculture, ad-
dressed to this Office, came regularity to
hand through the mails. A printed
notice on the envelope cautions the
public that "any person using it to
avoid the payment of postage on pri-
vate matter of any kind, will be sub
iect to fine OF three hundred dollars. !"
Of course it was quito natural to sup
pose that the envelope contained mat
ter of Importance to the general public,
as no sane person would incur the risk
Of paying fine of $500 to avoid the
payment OF three cents postage ON pri-
vate matter The envelope was opened
and found to contain copy of the
Washington World, illustrated with a
portrait of that distinguished gentle
man, William LIE Due, Commissioner of
the Department of Agriculture. With
the exception Of this picture, the World
contained nothing of importance to this
or any other community, not found in
newspapers generally. There was moth
ing official in the paper except the por-
trait, and we have not yet learned that
Congress, the Courts or any of the De-
partments of the Government, have
decided that lie Dues picture, as
printed in the Washington World, is
''official business" LIE Due, however,
is noticeable for the hardness of his
"cheek, I" but if he was prosecuted and
fined $500 for each of the thousands of
official envelopes he has used to avoid
the payment of postage on the very pri-
vate matter of sending picture of his
"cheek" to every newspaper office in
the country, it might teach him that he
is not near so important parsonage as
he imagines himself to be.

POLICE STATION, Augusta, Me-,
August 9th, 1880
We, the undersigned, desire to publicly
express our regrets that anything should hap
pen to cause the removal of Officer James
a. Jones from our number. During the past
eighteen months in our connection on the
force. we have never had a discoriant word.
and we do not hesitate to say that better or
more agreeable man to get along with would
be hard to find. He has ever been ready TO
do his duty at all times, apd under all
circumstances; always ready to go at any
ones call, and at all hours of the day or
night. All will remember his untiring efforts
to preserve the peace during the difficulties
at the State House last winter, and his gentle
manly conduct during that trying ordeal.
We are satisfied that in the trouble which
caused MIR. Jones' removal, his patience was
tried beyond human endurance, and we be-
lieve that under the peculiar circumstances
in which he was placed, ninety-nine men out
of a hundred would have given away to his
feelings. While he has been removed from
the force. he may always rest assured that
the present force will always have good
word to say in his favor.

RALLY AT PITTSFIELD.
Good Speaking and Much
Enthusiasm.

There was grand rally at Pittsfield Thurs
day afternoon. Gen. Fitzpatrick, Gov.
Davis and Clark +. Carr spoke to large
crowd, and a good impression was made.
That evening Gov. Davis occupied few
minutes and then introduced Hon. A. A.
Strout of Portland. who was in his happiest
mood, and dealt out facts as fast as the crowd
could digest them. Six loaded cars came
from Skowhegan. Clubs from Skowhegan,
Fairfield, Waterville, Clinton, Burnham.
Newport, Palmyra, st. Adams and Hartland
were met by large club from Pittsield and
escorted to Hathorns' Grove, where stand
had been erected. Three bands furnished
music. Good judges estimated the crowd in
the afternoon at 1.500, but in the evening
there were more than twice that number.
The best of order prevailed, and a more en-
thusiastic crowd never assembled. Cheers
were given for the speakers, the flags, the
candidates and for victory. Expect a good
report from Pittsfed, for she is wide awake.
