1t is well the public should understand

loudly to them. In September, 1861. he en-

At Augusta he was taken sick with canker

FOR GOVERNOR,
Look Out for Fraudulent Tickets
What Democrats Did in YER
MT
mont.

We warn republicans to look out for
fraudulent tickets to-day. They will be
circulated by democrats in every possible
shape-in the name of the candidate for
Governor, for members Of Congress, for
senators and county officers, and for rep
resentatives. The greatest vigilance will
be necessary to guard against such frauds
In Vermont, after exhausting every
other means of cheating, the democrats
had over 400 900 election tickets printed
exactly the same in paper. ink and type as
those issued by the Republican State Com
mittee, with the very material exception
that in Governor-clect Roswell Farnham' s
name an ''e'' was inserted after ''Ros'' in
the Christian name, making it read Rose
well Farnham." Said Ex-Governor jew
ell Thursday: Not ninety men in hun
bred would have noticed the difference IT
first glance, and indeed only the studi-
ously circumspect which, fortunately, are
not unplentiiul up in Vermont, would
think of looking for such a thing. The
worst of it was, these 400 900 tickets were
distributed throughout the State Sunday
last, and the time to counteract this trick
cry was short. But we accomplished it.
and | do not think ten of the spurious
tickets were deposited. You have in this
n fair example of what the democratic
party rcsorted to in Vermont. Had this
thing not been discovered, the difference
in the majority would be considerable. for
all such ballots deposited would, of course,
have been rejected
So look out TOR spurious votes to-day

SPLENDID MEETING.

The meeting at Granite Hall Saturday
evening. addressed by Senator BLAINE ana
Hon. A. w. TENNEY of New York, is one
that will he long remembered by those VINO
were present. The splendid audience was
goodlv sight to look upon. Ii packed moor
and gallery and filled every passage to the
haIl before the speakers arrived, and looked
like vast assembly upon some gaia occasion.
Senator Blaine's complimentary remark as to
the intelligence of an Augusta audience was
well said. but there was greater compliment
in the matter and character of the speech
whicl. he made. for such speech could only
be intended for and only be appreciated by an
intelligent audience.
Mr.. Tennev is one of the most eloquent
men who has visited the State as speaker IN
this campaign. With fine presence and
voice rich How of language. sincere en-
enthusiasm for the republican cause, and 4
happy faculty of taking hold of the feelings
As well as appealing TO the reason of his
hearers. he is an orator seldom matched, a
campaigner who W i'll make his mark wherever
he speaks The republicans of Augusta are
greatly gratitied with his Speech and hope TO
hear him again at some future time.
Though Senator Blaine was suffering with
hoarseness and spoke with considerable diff
Guilty, his speech was one of surprising abil-
ity and power. 1t was full of instruction.
1t would have befitted the Senate of the
United States. II touched upon all the great
issues of the campaign. and shed new light
upon them even to those who deem them
Though it took hold of difficult subjects ii
held the audience though under spell.
Whilst he was speaking the Hancock COM
panics marched past the hall with bands
PLAYING and loud cheering, but though Sena-
tor Blaine ceased speaking several minutes
on account of the noise outside, the audience
remained seated and perfectly quiet, only a
few persons standing near the door leaving.
When the noise was over he resumed speak
ing and held the crowd to the close packed
as at the beginning.
The meeting was IA grand success in every
way - by far the best of the campaign in this
city. All republicans are delighted with it
and it will have stimulating effect upon
those who were present in the performance
of their duties to-day.

GREENBACK Caucus.
Bold Attempt to BulIdoze the Straight
Greenbackers.

Friday night straight greenback caucus
was called at the greenback headquarters
over Deane Pray's store. There are in Au-
gusta about one hundred voters who sincerely
advocate the principles of the new party, and
to whom fusion is distasteful; but they have
hitherto been whipped pretty closely into line
by the leaders. On the evening in question
some % greenbackers assembled at the club
rooms. l.. +. Arnold called the meeting to
order. Soon the tramp of many feet was
heard on the stairs, and in marched Johnny
Ryan at the head of uniformed company Of
strikers from ward three. Behind them fol-
lowed the notorious Cap'n Black, accom-
panied by representatives of the band
OF State House Gorrillas which he com
manded last winter. Their obvious
purpose was to capture the caucus.
motion to nominate a straight greenbacksr
was made, but the chair refused to listen
to business until the room was CLEARED
OF Blacks men and Ryan's bummers. Cap'n
Black then began to fire off his mouth, and
under the spell of his matchless eloquence
the meeting broke up in great disorder.
The greenbackers are justly incensed at
such high-banded proceedings, and assert
that they will not be coerced into voting fora
democrat. They say that the Cap'n has been
trying to sell them out and has been playing
fast and loose all along. Like Caesar Capn
Black is ambitious. He wanted the fusion
nomination for representative; but as he
couldn't have that he demanded the position
Of AdJutant General. This place has been
promised to Major French, the young man
who had the thrilling experience with the
arms at Bangor. This imbroglio may lead to
the putting of straight electoral ticket IN
the field after Davis reelection. Them
steers kick at the democratic jackass. And
the animals are unhappy.

Secession Still Lives.

The Meridian, Mississippi, Hancock and
English Club has got itself into very no,
water. 1t invited its chairman to write an
address, and he committed the Club to the
proposition that secession was revolution
airy and folly" whereupon the Meridian
Mercury declares that
''To admit it is to admit that the PEOPLE OF
the Southern States committed rank treason.
To admit it is to admit that Jefferson Davis
deserved to be hanged upon that sour apple
tree, and only was saved by the magnanmity
and forgivingness of the conquerors. To ad-
nit it is to confess that every willing confed-
crate neck might rightfully have been claim
ed by the halter. To admit it is to admit
that Andy Johnson uttered a patriotic senti-
ment when he said traitors must be punished
and treason made odious.'
And it says that the doctrine of the chair
man is not the doctrine of the party that the
oder of that putrescent ad lress must be re-
pudiated; that the true doctrine now as in
1860. is that sit was regular, peaceable and
constitutional to secede." That is it pre-.
cisely. The old secession theory still lives
in the hearts of the Southern democracy.
The few who hold that the principle should
be given up as the attempt to put it into prac-
tice was overcome, are decried as traitors not
only to the Lost Cause, but as to-day the
enemies Of the constitutional rights of the
States. A vote for Plaisted is a vote for the
sLost Cause

How Business Men Will Vote.

for which that prosperity stands
He was doubtless right. The prosperity
of the country is an irresistible campaign
document for republicans. Onr opponents
cannot match it. neither can they break its
force The more the people study it the
more thoroughly are they convinced that
the democratic party's frantic appeal for Il
change is entirely understandable. Read
ing the future by the past-and there is no
other way of reading it-what reason is
there to believe that to turn out the repuh-
lican party and bring in the democratic
party would promote purity and economy
in administration, or would advance the
common veal? There is absolutely no
reason The democratic party has never
been party OF reform, although it has
always been party OF fair pretences. In
