scion Chase Denounces Fusion.

From Chase's Enquirer, April 22d
The areenback State convention has been
called At Bangor, June l. 1t came about IN
this wise: A meeting Of the State commit
tee and representative greenDackers, vas
called at Portland, Friday, April 10th, and is
was voted, almost unanimously, to hold the
convention on the 26th Of May; but the chair
man of the democratic committee and prom
inent democrats, appeared with strange re-
quest,-that the greenbackers change the
date of. their convention TO June l, tne time
the democratic convention was called; tnss
is. hang the greenback convention on one
end of the wires at Bangor, and hang the
democratic convention on the other end OF
the wires at Portland, SO as to slime drives
BY lightning. ..
The wonder 10 that such proposition
should be made, but the greater wonder IS
that it should be entertained for moment.
But the chairman of the democratic state
committee told me, with his own mouth. If
We did not hold our convention the same day
of theirs, the democrats would run straight
ticket! This threat seemed to be an eye
opener to the greenback members ct the
State committee, and they allowed the chair
man of the democratic State committee to
fix the time Of holding the convention.
Greenbackers Of Maine! the democratic COM
mittee have dictated the time Of holding the
greenback convention, 20 ~ to harmonlze the
democratic party.
Have we not enough to do to harmonlze
our own party, without disorganizing our
selves by trying to promote peace and har-
mony in the democratic party! The pro-
gramme now is to hold fusion county and
Congressional conventions, not only at the
same times but at the same places. MY
friends and brothers, if you don't now take
the fusion bull BY the horns, your labor for
the greenback cause for the last five years IS
lost. If the Bourbon democracy had any
sense they would see the course they have
marked out is death to both the greenback
and democratic parties.
The republican party, with all their sins,
have got some wit. The things they don't
want they make the democrats believe they
do want. They want I'd see fusion tried on,
but they pretend to want the greenbackers
and democrats to pull apart. The democrats
assuming the pretence to be the true inward
ness of the republican party, innocently
perhaps think they are opposing the wishes Of
the leaders of the republican party when they
favor fusion. In this way, the republican
party, for the last twenty years, has drawn
the democrats into just such positions as
they wanted them to assume.
Brother greenbackers of Maine, the DEM
ocratic or greenback party must die. Will
you murder your own child, or will you let
the democratic party severely alone, and let
it die natural death?

grandfather. sad ne. was conf1ned for
some months in an insane asylum, and my
mother died. some years ago, in the Mclean
asylum at Somerville, where was obliged tc
have her taken" He thought that his son
became respondent on account of his feeble
health and the thought that he was likely to
become dependent upon his friends He
was very ingenious. and, although never hav-
ing learned a trade, was proficient in the use
of carpenters tools, and was able to do a
very good piece of work in the line of re-
pairs.
Father and son were noted throughout
Chelsea for their industry, and the excellent
vegetables and small fruits, particularly
strawberries, which they raised. found ready

of fine and fancy breeds of fowl on his own

men told him, Monday, that some three
months ago he missed the uprights from
where he had left them. Mr.. Pillsbury thinks
that the deed was committed somewhere be-

his theory upon the fact that his son had
MIXED the COW, for to obtain the amount of
milk found in the pail in the room they Oc-

late hour. The body was clothed in the or
dinary working apparel, consisting of WOOL

The Liberal Reaction.

The intensity of the Liberal reac-
ton in Great Britain and Ireland is
most strongly marked by the results
in certain counties, where territorial
magnates, who have been wont to re-
gard the return of their nominees as
a matter of course, have seen them
signally defeated. Thus, not only
does the Duke of Buccleuch see his
first born seatless, but the Dukes OF
Manchester and Aberson are in the
same plight. The latter's defeat is as
signal one in Ireland as that OF
Lord Dalkeith, in Scotland. Indeed,
in one sense it is more, so because
the latter has so redoubtable an op-
ponent as Mr.. Gladstone, Lord Ham
ilton, on the other hand, was only
opposed by an obscure candidate.
This fact is highly significant OF the
decline of territorial influence in Ire
land. Wellington, when Chief Sece
rotary for Ireland, wrote pitcously
of his troubles with "the two great
Northern Lords, Aberson and Con-
yngham," whose influence made
them formidable to even the strong
est Government. And now tn
former, albeit raised to Dukedom
and an Viceroy of exceptional
popularity, whose grandfather used
to send half dozen members to the
Irish Parliament, and always re-
turned two, at least, to that at West
minister, is entirely unrepresented +,
so far as his Irish estates are concern
ed, in the House of Commons, for his
younger sons owe their English seats
mainly to their own merits, while
Lord Conyngham's brother and only
representative from Ireland, owes
his seat mainly to being a Home
Ruler.

That committee did its work, and
the legislature fooled along with its
registration bill until the end of the
session, when it was thrown out and
substitute which had been quietly
prepared was rushed through. That
substitute is the present law, and it
differs from the old law only in multi
plying opportunities for fraud and
taking away from the citizens the
right of appealing to the courts in
case he shall be DISTINGUISHED in the
correction of the lists. Under the
existing law register may disfran-
ch:se all the Republicans in his ward
with impunity. OF course, when
| the time came to go before the people
last fall the party managers were
ready with fresh promises of reform,
and, as usual, they proposed fresh
cheat. We should have a new regis
tration, but the registers should
be as unembarrassed as before by
scrutiny into their doings, and were
to have the right to put on the new
lists the names of voters, whether
they applied for registration or not.
In practice this provision meant the
transfer to the new lists of the names
of dead, nonresident and non-eXis-
tent persons which have been accu-
mulated since 1865. For the defeat
of this fraud the public is indebted to
Governor Hamilton, who is SC sim
cere in his desire for fair elections that
he preferred that no law should be
passed rather than have another
cheat and sham go on the statute
book. We have perfect confidence
in Governor Hamilton's honesty OF
purpose but, with all his energy
and persistence, he was unable tc
overcome the fondness for fraud Of
The party managers. Those lnfluen'
tial persons seem to be too contidenl
of the perfection of their election
arrangements to fear any public
resentment. They can say to them
selves: "We have made lies our re-
fuge, and under falsehood have we
hid ourselves. "-Bdlto. american.

THE MALONE PLAN There
to be little doubt tt at General Will
liam Malone, the leader of the Vir-

bargain by which the Readjusters
will run an electoral ticket in Vir-

and five Republicans, not naming a
Presidential candidate, but holding
their votes, if they succeed in carry
ing the State, so as to dispose of
them to the best advantage in the

ticket is successful it would probably
put them in the position of electing

A very marked difference of onir

A very marked difference of opin-
ion was developed in the Democratic
senatorial caucus Friday of last week
as to the disposition that ought to be
made of Kellogg's case. and the mat
ter threatens to expand into bitter
party quarrel, The majority, inclu-
ding such men as Bayard and Thur
man, are evidently inclined to give
important public business preference
over partisan discussions but such
hotSheads as Senators Hill and Jones
insist upon vote on the case and de-
clare they will have revenge unless
their wishes are respected. The latter
gentleman made the singular state
ment that he would not answer for
Louisiana remaining Democratic
State in case tbs Senate refused to
unseat Kellogg. Precisely why
Louisiana should turn Republican on
this account we do not understand,
since that would only be cutting off
the nose to spite the face; but per
haps Senator Jones only meant to in
innate what has been suspected for a
long time-that Louisiana Democrats
care great deal more for power than
principle, and are always ready to
sacrifice the party for the sake of
getting a share of official patronage.
The Senator's logic is hardly likely
to improve the chances of Kellogg's
Democratic contestant.
