For the first time in the history of Maine the at
tempt was made in 1879 to deprive the people of
the right to choose their own officers and to cor
ruptly continue in power those whom the people
had rejected. The authors, abettors and accom-
plices in this crime against free government are
now seeking to come before the people under some
new party name-availing themselves of an alias.

atons to preserve honest Government for the hon
est people of Maine.

..What majority for The Republicans do you
estimate Massachusetts, may be credited with
next fall?
"The ex-president would receive majority
OF fully 10000 in the state. But if Mr. Blaine
should be selected as candidate I do not think
his majority would be 5000 less. believe, per-
sonally, that the election of the ex-president
would be grand stroke in the policy of nation
al conciliation. l believe that he would come
to the office with the purpose of harmonizing
all the conflicting sections and interests of the
country, and that purpose would characterize
his administration. And so if Mr. Blaine
should be the candidate believe that he would
be elected and that he would conduct a sue
cessful aud brilliant administration | repeat
that L haven't the slightest doubt that the
nomination of either of them would receive
the support of an overwhelming majority. OF
course this would be true as to either Of the
other gentlemen if nominated, but L make
special mention of it in relation to the EXPIRES
ident and Blaine, because | have frequently
been asked, when out of the State, whether
Massachusetts would not be doubtful state
if either of them were nominated Please
place no confidence in any such suspicious"

Too Much Stuck Up"

There is Chinese outrage reported from
New York. However, it was the heathen Chi
nee who did the outraging, which is somewhat
of a change from the way things are done on
the other side of the continent When Archi-
bald Josephs called ON War Kee for his linen,
an unfortunate dispute arose about the amount
of cash to be handed over. The irate War
kee seized the said Josephs and deposited him
in tub OF starch. This caused sort of Tor
mality and stiffness to come between them. 1t
is the first instance where adversity made q
man feel stuck up.-Detroit Free Press.

THE Argus cautions the friends of Gen.
their guard, ,>or the colored delegations from
the South and others, will be bought up by
Mr.. Blaine; and adds that those delegates
will soon learn what the Democrats in Maine
have TO contend with in every successive
election. The Argus is wasting its advice,
as well as its sympathy for colored Republi-
cans. 1t seems to have overlooked the vital
fact that the Chicago Convention is to be
Republican meeting, and that its members
are not in the habit of selling their votes for
rum, money, boots or other considerations
as the Democratic papers persist in as
serting their own voters in Maine
are always ready and anxious to do.
We do not believe these colored del
egates will realize after the Convention
any better than they do now the situation
OF the Maine Democrats, or "Anti-Republi-
cans,'' as the Argus calls them. Men who
like the Freedmen-have for fifteen years
