NoT CASDInaTE.-So says the CoMmoarenlfh,
and so echo the papers here and there through
ont the State, in reply to the Chiefs assertion
that st, John is candidate for third term, as
sstepping stone to the Senate, in place of Plumb.
Why, they argue, he says he is not a candidate,
and the people viii take him at his word; and
as for his supplanting Plumb, he never do
that The Commonwealth and those other pa
pers may find their Ptoft in assisting to blind
and deceive the public; but we again assert
that ST. John is a candidate for third term,
and that for the purpose of placing him in o
position to successfully compete with Plumb.
While the men who take an interest in politics
are thrown off their guard, st. John is even now
at work He does not operate with politicians,
but with his preachers, and Sunday School Su-
perintendents, and temperance workers. They
will take possession of the primaries for electing
delegates to the State Convention, and for nom-
mating members of the Legislature. He will
call for funds to enforce the temperance law,
and many persons will leave their honest debts
unpaid in order TO contribute. With this fund,
he will pay his way. If he can not actually
secure enough st. John members Of the Legsla-
ture to elect him to the Senate, he will have
them elected for local candidates in opposition
to Plumb, himself remaining ont of the fight;
and when those anti-Plumb members fail to
agree upon one among the many nval opposi-
tion candidates, st. John will step in as a COM
promise anti-Plumb candidate, and carry off the
nomination. Those who choose to hOot at this
idea, can hoot away, while st. John quietly goes
on with his work.
