by various persons. Seats had been built
on the plat, but for some reason the

MAINE SHIPPING.-Eben f. Pillsbury
told his Democratic audience at Auburn,
Me-, that "Maine shipyards are as de-
serted as graveyards," under Republican
rule. But since 1860, when the Re-
publicans came in to power, Maine has
built 5000 wooden vessels, many more
than any other two States in the Union,
worth more than $4,000, 900. At Bath
alone there were built in 1876, vessels
having tonnage Of 81 ,972.07 +; in 1877,
80, 472.62; in 1878, Is, 639 "a; in 1878
the amount was l7,3S3.59. But let the
Democracy come into power, and carry
out their declared policy of allowing
American registration to foreign built
ships, and in three months every shipyard
in Maine would be as deserted as
graveyards," and every ship carpenter
seeking work in vain.-Be!fast journal.

sequences o: such move. IL has been
explained often enough. The wages of
the soldiers was only 4 small part of the

If Maine doesn't come down
hard on the Garcelon State
stealers in September she
doesn't deserve place on the
map of New England. 1t is
a simple matter of honesty.
These Democratic pirates stand
convicted before the whole
country. Even the leaders of
their own party in other local
tiles do not countenance them.
They should be eliminated

The circular that Andrew j. Chase issued
TO Good Templar Lodges, in which he
states that he had nothing to do with the
formation OF the new party, and did not
favor such action, is false. He himself
wrote the call for the nominating cobven-
tion.-True Republican.
This is one of the richest jokes in the
very funny history so far of the Enforced
Prohibition party. Here is Mr.. Chase's
organ, which he coddled so warmly a
week or two, coming out upon Chase
and pronouncing him liar; and the fun
NEST of it is that the paper seems to
have the best of it this time. BY the

The renewed energy Of the
Democratic party is but the
spasmodic effort which presag-
es death. From this national
struggle it will fall back a de-
feated, discordant and hopeless
minority. The hope of federal
patronage gone, its local SUI
premacies cannot long be main
tanned. This is to be desired,
for the way to currency reform
lies across the grave of the
Democratic party. To enter
its ranks, is to take its name.
To take its name is to assume
the vindication of its evil past.

The organ of the Grccnback party, the

principles OF their party thus 10 be- made
the tools OF the Democrats Tor the purpose
OF aiding in success from which they are
Ia be kicked OFF at the winning post. The
importance OF Maine In the coming cleo
ton Is very great, and her position eNcep-
tional. The Democracy. which claims q
solid South, would use this uorthcrumost
key 10 unlock the door which has barred
them from power so long. They depend
ON the Maine GrccnbacRcrS 10 help them
do H. But for our third party there j. no
hope IN such A change. The change which
GrccnbackcrS in Maine and every other
State want j. a change or measures. aud
not a change OF political organizations
merely. VIII the Maine GrecnbaCkcrs
allow themselves To be rallied To the plat
form which demands hard money, 10 be
mar>halled under the nag which protects
fraudulent ballots, and march 10 the music
OF men who boast that success for them
means diSintegration aud the utter destruc-
tion Of the Greenback party! Better far
10 be- an active aud solid minority than
swallowed up In the victory OF false allies.
Every effort Ut fusion with opposing ele-
meuts wcakeus and destroys. There il no
hope for the third party anywhere save in
the platform they have chosen and IN un-
compromising adherence 10 its principles.
