The Position OF Mr.. ARrHUR.-The \.
Y. Herald, which speaks probably by ar'
thority, speaking of the possibility that
Vice President Arthur may be called 10 act
as President, says:
"If Mr.. Arthur should become President
we believe he will make no changes in the
Administration will make no removals
from Office at large, except for cause; will
attempt no change In the policy or in the
personnel OF the present Administration
FOR TO do, or TO attempt TO do any of these
things would be 20 invite ruin upon his own
head. We believe he will quietly take "
the reins as they fall from General Gariield's
hands. No doubt the present Cabinet, and
probably some OF the other important OIL
GERS of the Government, will offer him
their designations. This would be proper
course for them to pursue. But we are
equally certain that Mr.. Arthur will at
once ask them 10 continue in Office, and 1t
will be their highest duty TO the country
TO do so. IfMr. Garfield should, unhappi
", die, there will be no extra session OF
Congress there will be no Cabinet changes
there will be no new policies attempted,
but the country will go on, and the public
business will go on just as before. There
is no occasion for alarm

according TO Mosheim, in the reign OF
Henry H., king of England, in the twelfth
century, the clergy became so wicked that
crimes Of the greatest magnitude were
committed with impunity. In nine years,
from 1854 10 1853, one hundred murders
were committed by ecclesiastics, and not
one was brought 10 trial. This IS but an
item in the long course OF Christian histo-
~ which from the time Of Constantine IN

THE TEMPERANCE ISSUE.

Last year, by the i'll advised action OF
a few sore headed, Office seeking Repub-
licans, temperance ticket, $50 called
was put into the field. BY means of its
influence the hypocritical Plaisted was
elected Governor, and free rum flows over
half the State. Now we are met by a
temperance party, asking recognition IN
this Congressional election. II is not a
party of hyPOcrites and offices seekers,
but is composed of radical men, who
think they have further mission to per-
form. Their candidate, Col. W. I. Eus-
It's, of Dixfeld, is well known, active
and enthusiastic temperance reformer.
He would be an earnest advocate OF his
views if elected to Congress. But he
cannot now be elected, and he knows 1t.
The question then for temperance men Is
in whose hands viii their interests be
most safe. None can deny the eonsis-
tency of Hon. Nelson Dingley jr.s life and
sentim ents on this great subject. While
many of the men who are now such ear
nest advocates of prohibition listened as
scoffers, Mr.. Dingley advocated prohibit
ton because just such men were debasing
their God-given powers by the use OF al
cholic drinks. He helped pull them
from the mire, by assisting to create
public sentiment which buoyed them up
and sustained them, when they saw their
condition in its true light, and sought to
redeem their manhood. A man who has
led temperate life for forty years and
has been so prominent Christian tom.
perance worker as Hon. Nelson Dingley
IT.. Is Just the kind Of man we should
pin our faith TO if we were looking for
one 70 maintain the cause in high places.
We know he can be relied upon TO take
the right position on temperance issues
and the temperance men and reform boys
know il to. We don't believe they are
going to throw away their votes or put
them where they nigh, aid in defeating
Mr.. Dingley, and in sending to Congress
a man who could not give them half the
aid he can, if not in the election of an
advocate Of free rum. SO long as such
sound temperance men a. Hon. Nelson
Dingley, jr., are Pu, into the field by
either Of the great parties, there Is no
call for the organization Of a party upon
this one issue.

The argus is publishing some very
stupid correspondence abOu; the oppOsi-
ton in this district. The summing up
of the matter seems to be that the Dem
ocrats propose to vote almost solidly for
Judge Gilbert in the hope of catching the
Republicans mapping and thus defeating
them. 1t is game which will not work,
however, as every Republican will be
on hand with his vote next Monday, and
thus swamp the opposition, united or sim
gle, as the case may be.

THE SECOND DISTRICT.
Exports TO UNITE GREENBAcKERs AND
DEMOCRATS.


PORTLAND, Aug. 80, 1881.
To The Editors Of the Leiriston Journal -
Conferences of democratic and green
back committees have been held during
the past week, for the purpose of Uniting
the greenbackers and democrats OF the
second district on one candidate Inc
greenbackers proposed that the democrats
withdraw Reed, the democratic candidate
for Congress, and throw their votes Tor
Gilbert (grcenback). To this, 1t was re-
piled, that as last year the democrats sup
ported both Plaisted (greenback) for gov
ernor, and Fogg (grecnback for Congress,
this year the greenbackers ought 10 sup
| port the democratic candidate. Ihey ad-
ded that many democrats were tired OF
seeing the greenbackers force an early
nomination, in order that they might cry
out that the democrats who would not fol-
low them, are responsible for any division.
They further said that the circumstances
of Gilbert's nomination, made it impossible
for any one 10 bring up large number oil
democrats to his support; and that II heeu
should be withdrawn thousands OF demo-
Gratis would either stay at home or vote
for Dingley.
The democratic leaders, therefore, pro-
posed that Gilbert withdraw on the prom
| Use Of nomination next year, and that
the greenbackers support Reed. To TINS
the grecnbackers replied that even II Gill
bert could be persuaded to withdraw
(which they did not regard probahle), then
there were thousands of greenbackerS who
would feel they had been sold out, and
would refuse 10 go To the polls, or vote
direct for the republican candidate
In this dilemma, the conference separa-
ted, although many still hope that either
Reed or Gilbert will he withdrawn before
the election 4 week from Monday, or ut
least that arrangements may be made TO
quietly concentrate the greenback aud
democratic votes without withdrawing
any one.
The republicans are entirely indifferent
rs 10 what course is taken. They know
that the republican majority would be
larger if the greenbackers and democrats
would attempt 10 unite, for In that case
the republicans would be stirred up 10 gen
orally come out, and the opposition vote
on one candidate would be considerably
less than on two.
would suggest 20 the second district
republicans that they guard against all
these devices, by coming out 10 vote.
