OUR Irish citizens who think of voting
for Plaisted-if any there be-may read
with profit if not with pleasure, the follow
ing words of William H. English, Democrat
candidate for Vice President: "Damn
the Irish! This country would have been
better off without them" And as they read
his words they may remember, again with
profit and without pleasure, the declaration
of the Argus that vote for Plaisted is
vote for Hancock and English.

DEMOCRATIC financiering, of which we
have had touch in Maine-enough to make
our mouths taste bad-is sufficiently set
forth in the following representative illus
tration from the Worcester Spy: When
Louisiana's State government passed from
the hands of the Republicans, the State
bonds were worth ninety cents on the dollar
in the foreign markets. When the Demo-
Gratis were established in power the bonds
declined promptly to sixty cents; within
three months they fell to forty, and of late
they have been worth barely thirty. This
is the result of Democratic financiering. In
some of the Southern States, where they
have had everything their own way, they
have done worse. In few, perhaps, they
have done better, but Louisiana is fair
sample of their achievements in that line.
If the Democratic party, of whichth south
ern Democracy is the chief part IN numbers
and controlling influence, should get the
national government into its power, they
would not ruin the national credit so
promptly, but who can doubt that they
would give it severe shock, from which no
person who holds government bonds, or is
interested in any financial institution, could
escape without loss?

To Portland Republicans.

The Republicans of Portland must grid
up their loins and go to work. No holiday
can be taken until Saturday night. There
is not even time for nooning. The Fusion
lists are making desperate and determined
efforts to cut down the Republican majority
in this city, and are loud in their boasts
that they will succeed They are resorting
to the most unscrupulous methods to win
success, making use of the vilest tools, avail
Ing themselves of the unworthiest means.
They are appealing to basest and lowest
preJudices and motives, to cupidity and
class prejudice. The one they tempt with
the large corruption fund they are lavishly
dispensing, the other with sophisms that
only the most bitter bigotry and the ex-
tremest partisanship can tolerate.
They do not expect to overcome the Re
publican majority in Portland. That is not
shadowed forth in the widest visions OF
their professional dreamers. But they do
hope much from Republican over-confi
dence. They will bring to the polls every
Fusion voter in the city, and they trust that
we, counting surely upon victory that
should be ours without effort, will neglect
to get all our fighting men into line. will
omit to call out the reserve that decides the
issue of all closely fought battles. That is
their hope, and if it is realized they will set
up the shout that this city approves instead
OF condemning the fraud put upon her by
the Tabulators last Winter. They will say
that even the men who voted our ticket last
year rejoice at the attempt to ignore that
vo.e by Garcelon and his Council. Do our
honest and self-respecting citizens purpose
to give them excuse to raise that cry? Do
they wish to ''vinGicate' the Tabulators?
The Portland daily press., 1880-09-09


The renewed energy of the Democratic
party is but the spasmOdic effort that
presages death. From this national
struggle it will fall bnck, n defeated, dis
cOrdant and hopeless minority. The hope
of federal patronage gone, its local SUI
premacies cannot long be maintained.
This is to be desired, for the way to cur
rency reform lies across the grave of the
Democratic party. To enter its ranks is
10 take its name. To take its name is 10
assume the vindication of its evil past.-
