Fusion.
How Barn DEAocRAr REGARDS IT.

The Boston Post has Bath correspondent
who. we are confident, reflects the sentiments
of not few democrat, in this State concern
ing fusion. He says:
DoubtIess MANY democrats outside of this
State think it singular that the fusionists do
not hang together better than they do IN their
common opposition 10 the republican party
A superficial observer would see no reason,
perhaps. " hy the two opposition parties IN
Maine should not unite temporarily for the
defeat of the reigning dynasty Ii Is not
strange but il i true nevertheless. that
very few people oatsi,ie of this State, and by
no mean, all in the >tate. understand the po-
li,ical situation here. ANY one who Is con-
versant wi, state politics mist know that a
great majority of the leaders of the greenback
party are rx-r.pabiiFans.
Most Of these men were not as prominent
as they wished to he iii their own party, anu
while desiring 10 devise some means Of get
ting their heads into the public crib. they
were vet not ready to join the democratic
party, and were obliged 20 seize upon some
issue with which 10 form Il new party. as
leaders of which they might ride into power.
These soreheads. with few o:tice-seeking
politicians from tie democrats. manage the
greenback machine. The rank and file are
composed OF a few republicans. few honest
believers in soft money. and a much larger
number of bamboozled democrats.
The Maine democrats were on the high
road to success. when a few selfish men. see
ing that their party babe fair to come into
power. and fearing lest they would not be the
ones to get the offices. steadily fell in with a
few republican politicians of similar type.
and assisted them to push forward the green
back movement. But, besides running their
partv's chances of success. these men over
reached themselves. for their movement has
failed and will fail again. Even were there
no principles involved. one can readily I'M
darstand how distasteful it would be to real
democrats TO assist in boosting into power
renegade republicans. wild theorists and de:
serters from their own party. The spectacle
of genuine Andrew jackson democrats voting
into Office such men as Fogg, Murch, Cove
Co., is not edifying. to say the least
From present appearances should hardly
say that the election of Plaisted could be
reckoned on as a probability. personally
know of number of straight democrats in
this place, and one prominent one at least,
outside of it. who intend either to vote the
republican ticket. not vote at all, or make up
ticket of their own.

From the New York Tribune. 7
Look out for the Electors.

tits ofthe utmost importance that no man be
appointed Presidential elector this year Who
is ineligible to the office. The Constitutions
al provision is simple and explicit:
No Senator or Representative, or persoL
holding an Office of trust or profit under the
United States. shall be appointed an Elector
This is clear enough for anybody to under
stand, yet scarcely Presidential election
has occurred for many years without several
violations of it, In 1876 the appointment of
n postmaster as an Elector by the republicans
of Oregon gave the democrats an excuse for
their infamous attempt to steal the vote of
that State. The disqualified Elector in this
case resigned his Federal appointment, after
his election as Elector, and to avoid all ex-
cuse for a contest, the other two Electors
chose him to fill the vacancy in the electoral
body caused by his previous disability, that
disability having been removed. This the
law empowered them to do. The Governor.
under direction of the Tiden managers in
New York, assumed the authority to withhold
the certificate from this reinstated Elector.
and conferred it upon Cronin, defeated Til
den Elector. Governor Grover did this in
spite of the fact that the laws of Oregon
gave the power of canvassing the vote and
declaring the result of the election to the
Secretary of State instead of to the Gov
ernor. All three certificates were given to
Cronin, who subsequently attempted to create
new Board by ruling out the two remain
ing republican members and appointing dem
ocrats in their places. Outrageous as this
proceeding was, it was fully supported by the
democratic party. The Oregon vote was con-
tested before the Electoral Tribunal, and was
sustained by democratic arguments and
votes.
The subsequent Garcelon conspiracy in
Maine is a fresh warning in the same direc-
ton. Both cases serve to show how slight
basis is necessary for democratic ICON
test" All the democratic managers care
for is the shadow Of technical error If
they can find such shadow in any State
which goes republican this Fall and has a
democratic Governor, just as sure as Con-
gress meets to count the electoral votes, lust
so sure viii there be contest in that
State, for every such contest" would help
on the democratic scheme of throwing the
election into the House. The safe wav is for
the republicans to keep all Federal Office
holders of the ticket. Take no chances of
their resigning either before or after election.
Then the democrats will have no republican
blunders to help them in stealing the Presi-
dency.

A Southern Greenback Organ
upon Frauds in Alabama.

Just before the election in Alabama. the
published in that State. gave its opinion
in the following vigorous article Of the
plank in the democratic platform in favor
of free ballot and fair count. also spoke
of the frauds that had been planned by
the democrats in the State election. 1t is
interesting now to review the article in
the light of the "clean democratic sweep
made last Monday. Perhaps some Maine
greenbacker who is inclined to vote the
greenbackers in Alabama are treated by
the democrats. The Advocate says:
1t is now pretty well settled that the ring
masters, who are utterly INSCRIPTIONS and
shameless. intend to have recourse to fraud
ulent count in Dallas. Lowndes Autanga.
Perry Marengo. Hale, Bullock, Barbour. Lee.
&C., to elect their imbecile aud corrupt State
ticket. The programme is complete. We
are reliably informed that the corrupt Bour-
bon officials in the counties named. have ap-
pointed such inspectors of election as are
known to be stained with fraud and indiffer-
ent to oaths. and everything but the orders of
the ring. When the intelligent whites of the
State forsake the ring, it depends solely upon
fraud to keep it in power. We pronounce
the 9Th plank in the Cincinnati platform a
base cheat, a deliberate fraud. and a wilful
lie. The State platform on the sanctity of
the ballot was enacted by men guilty of out
rageous election frauds and even then con-
templating frauds by the wholesale.
Tn tb, sshlack helt'' fraud is an INTEGRAL
part of every election. This fact is notorious
and indisputable. The whole Bourbon party
is aware of these shameful frauds in the large
negro counties and glories in them.
The north should, by this time, be fully
satisfied that southern bourbonism means
fraudulent elections. bulldozing, intimida-
ton. etc, and that the south is carried BY
these disreputable means. Does Gen. Han
cock approve of these shameful. notorious
frauds? Will he accept electoral votes faint
ed with and procured by election frauds?
The independent State ticket in Alabama
will sweep all the white counties-the for
mer strongholds of the democracy when il
could boast of some degree of purity. and the
bourbons rely on frauds in the "black belt"
to keep them in power. We want to have
this fact fully understood by the Northern
democrats and republicans, and greenback
speakers will proclaim it from every stump
i'm the North that the Bourbons of the South.
and especially of Alabama. practice fraud at
every election. The bottom facts shall be
spread before the North in damaging colors
that the Independent Greenback party had to
fight against wholesale frauds. planned by
the democratic State Committee and executed
by the County Committees. We give Won
