A BIG MISTAKE.
A Voice from the Reform Clubs.

l saw a statement in some Portland paper
of last Saturdays issue that Mr.. Osgood's chief
support would come from the reformed men of
Maine. am positive that this is mistake.
The Reform Clubs are not going to take any
backward steps, few may be led into the
trap set for the unwary, but only few. Those
of the reformers who were Republicans voted
right from principle even in the days of rum
and ruin, and will not be likely to retrograde
from that now While we believe Mr.. Nye
and Mr.. Osgood sincere in their action, we
know some of those who are acting in concert
with them are not. We cannot forget the
past. We do not wish to. Whoever thinks to
use the Reform Clubs as tools to obstruct the
wheels of true Republican progress will be
badly mistaken The Republican members of
the Waterville club to man will support Mr..
Davis at the coming election, and don't you
forget it. 80 T. A. SAWYER,

DAN VOORHEES,, a Bourbon Demo.
crat, offered in the United States
Senate resolution OF inquiry into
the causes OF the negro exodus from
the South Ii was supposed to be a
Democratic proposition and that it
would have a Democratic result. But

among the negroes AMI that they and
the laboring whites were in hop O.

was no desire to emigrate aud they
could command remuneratiYe wages,
aCd enjoyed amicsbe relations with
their employers. This condition in
Georgia appears TO have been &C

But it is a delusion. Hill told the

relations between laborers and en-

war there were between slave aud

unequal to the task of opposing
the will Of the old masters. BULLDOG

who had that ambition began then
