A third-rate lawwer by the name of Parlin
who is stumping this country in defence of the
state Steal in his TRADE against the Judges of
the Supreme Court says: "No respectable
Republican lawyer defends the opinions they
gave last winter either in lao or common
sense" When called upon to give names he
declares j. IL. Drummond, ESQ.,, to be one who
does not, or will not endorse the opinions of
the judges. Can that be true?
lltis not true We say by authority that
Mr.. Drummond-as we'll as all other good
iawyers-knows, and he has repeatedly said in
public that the opinions are good law as has
been many times decided before our own
supreme Court announced them. Mr.. Parlin
knew better than to say what he did and
wouldn't have ventured to say it except in
remote locality where he felt safe from detec-
tlon and exposure. He ought to be ashamed

Dear Sir,-Being convinced by recent devel-
opments that vote for the fusion ticket in
this State at the coming election will contri-
butte towards Democratic success in the United
States and believing from Gen. weaver's own
statement, to wit, that no party should be en-
couraged that depends wholly for its support
and life upoa "solid South" where the free
dom of the ballot is not respected, and cleo
tions are to such extent farce, and regarding
the question of national supremacy and the
protection of the elective and social rights of
American citizens as paramount to all other
issues at the present time, 1 feel myself un-
der obligations to act during the balance of the
present campaign with the party that best
gives promise of securing the ends desired. ]
would therefore respectfully resign my position
as member of your County Committee, and
trust that future developments will prove both
the wisdom and Justice of the course on timed
in this brief letter.

Editors Reporter:
My attention has been called to statement
in the Maine Standard purporting to come
from Harper Allen OF Smithfield, in which he
charges either D. w. Ames or myself it does
not clearly appear which, with riding with
him in December last, offering him money to
procure his rejection of the certificate as a
representative, issued to him by Governor
Garcelon and on his refusal, requesting sec
ond meeting at his house the same evening,
and enioined and requested of him secrecy in
regard to the matter.
So far as 1 am concerned never rode with
Mr.. Allen, never offered him money, never
requested to see him second time nor ask him
to keep anything secret. and I never heard
Mr.. Ames offer, or have any knowledge that
he ever did offer .Mr.Allen anything for the pur-
pose above stated 1 should be glad to have
any person after reading this statement, see
and talk with Mr.. Allen and then Judge for
themselves what the truth is.

A Kennebec Greenbaeker Declares for

7. B. Swift, Esq, of Fayette, prominent
Kennebec greenbacker, forwards the Lewiston
Journal communication saying that he is sat
isfied that the financial objects that the green
back party had in view are impracticable, and
uncalled for in the success of resumption. He
concludes as follows:
every greenback voter ought to pause and
consider what will be the effect OF his voting
the fusion ticket this year. No sane man wants
to see the Democratic party triumph again, but
a vote for the fusion ticket means that. The
Democratic party brought on the nation a
bloody war without cause, They plunged the
nation deeply into debt. Since the war they
have done all in their power to prevent the
success of reconstruction on a basis of equal
rights. They have looked on and excused the
murder and abuse of colored men at the South

such party, stepped down and 1T, and
