According to the Bangor CoD~,ercid
the greenback is in danger. II is in danse
of being deprecated To SO cents II TIL
Commercials policy prevails.
The brain of New England State can
not be so dense, nor its conscience so rot
ten, that the triumph OF the Maine Fusion,
is posslble.-BostOa Trdcelier
| "A correspondent thinks that the En-i
forced Prohibitionists need a new name az
well as new candidate, and proposes tn,
call them the Nyehlationists.
Mr.. Pillsbury, who has often led the.
Democratic party 10 defeat in Maine, ap-s
pears once more upon the stump. This Is.
all that was needed to ensure Republican
victory in Observation-Disclosures
The Post, which could not support
General Butler year ago, Is making
frantic appeals TO the Democrats Of Maine
To vote for General Plaisted, who remarked
in 1873 that the Democratic party could
not be trusted.
If the balance OF the cS con,l-mners
who voted in the convention ycStcaday,
has a. little right 10 vote, ~ we believe the
Rev w. L. Eaton, OF the Cape hal, we
wouldn't give much for its effect on the
public.-IoriidRd CUig Rem.
Every speech that "Oily Eben" makes
In Maine will drive Grecnbackcrs out OF
the fold. The Republicans understand this
full well. Their organs take special pains
to advertise Pillsbury and report his
speeches in full.-!Solon Chase.
Why didn't Joshua Nye give the name
in the convention yesterday, OF the con-
stable who said he was not appointed this
year to enforce the liquor law. Why
should he be shielded from the public dis
approval, any more than other men who
have been hauled over the Goals for neg
lect Of duty.-Ctty Rem.
What right had man who is candi-
date for office, In another party, TO 90 %
the convention yesterday and vote censure
on Gov. Davis and thus help 10 lay the
ground for independent action, when he
doesn't propose TO act with the party with
which he voted.-POrtiand City ITEM.
Mr.. Fogg apologies for the reduction
ofthe size OF the Greenback-labor ChrOpi-
Gle by saying that the paper mills have
more regular orders ahead than they can
I'LL, and so he cannot obtain paper. When
Mr.. Fogg talks about our PROSTATE in
dustries on the stump somebody should re-
mind him ofthis explanation.
The statement by Fogg, that the Mont
gomery Guards were not called on by Gen.
Chamberlain, Is new TO US. Capt. Lynch
can say whether Fogg was correct or not.
We always supposed that Gen. c. had the
utmost confidence that Capt LIS company
would obey his orders. Everybody in
Portland knew they would obey them
CITY Item.
General Hall asked the Fort Pillow
Butcher, Chalmers, If he approved the
murder OF Judge Chisholm. He replied by
saying, she neither approved nor disap-
proved" He found himself situated like
the fellow who, when asked ifhe was guilty
or not guilty. answered, "How can tell
your homer, until hear the evidence?"-
Bangor Wing.
Governor Davis made a good point in
his speech at Old Orchard when he said
that when the officers Of Gov. Garcelon
went to the thirteen companies Of the
militia Of Maine to learn how they stood
on the subject of the state steal, that the
citizen soldiery proved themselves true to
the 10000 veterans who left Maine for the
war in the South and true to the cause of
law and order.
1t is good sign to hear. republicans
inquiring when the campaign Is going TO
begin, why this and that have not been
done, and to manifest some anxiety about
the result in September. OF all bal signs
in campaign Indifference and apathy are
the worst. When there is general spirit
Of Inquiry and interest among the republic
cans or Maine such as We find existing at
the present time 1t Is very safe to conclude
that they mean to do their whole duty and
win big victory.
Belfast Journal: The accession of
|, Harvey ID. Hadlock, Esq, of Bucksport TO
the Republican side In the present contest
is an important one. Mr. Hadlock ranks
high among the legal fraternity of Maine,
and Is gentleman Of high standing in
every respect. His influence will be felt
In the way OF placing on the right track
many who are Disguised with the twaddle
and double dealing of the Greenback and
Democratic hermsphrodites who now run
the opposition to the Republicans.
The spectacle of the Maine Standard,
argus, Arson Adrocdte, and other Fusion
organs, attempting to give the people of .
Maine lessons on political temperance is
ludicrous in the extreme. The Democrats
have to wrestlc annually with Jim Rawson
aud lesser lights to keep license plank
out OF the Democratic platform. This
year, however, the party have no platform
and did not have to struggle with Rawson.
The Republican party is the only one that
ever did anything for prohibition.-Somer-
set Reporter.
The Gardiner Home Journal, whose
editor Is consistent prohibitory man, is
little skeptical Of the prohibitory move
ment inaugurated under the patronage OF
the Democracy. The Boston Post, in the
same issue in which appears commenda-
tory notice OF Gen. Dow and Andrew Jack
son Chase, publishes q recipe for an APP
proved preparation OF rum punch, from
which the Home Journal infers that hatred
OF the Republicans rather than zeal for the
Temperance Convention, is just now the
motive which impels the Democracy in
their work as Temperance missionaries.
