Farewell Address to the Directors of the
inquirer.


At meeting of the stockholders of the En-
quirer Association Wednesday, Scion Chase
was deposed from the editorship. He was no
tilted on his return from the West in the even
ing.
The Enquirer is to be removed to Lewiston
and is to be conducted by Mr.. S. A. Berry of
Deering.
Mr.. Chase has published the following adj
dress:
To the Directors of the Androscoggtn Green
back Publishing Co.:
With this issue l retire from editorial man
agement of the Enquirer. l have been SO busy
since the Enquirer started that / can hardly
realize the Enquirer has been running year
and a half. ! am well aware that my services
as editor of the Enquirer are no longer desired,
and retire SO as TO leave the board of dlrec-
tors free 20 act. / have run the Enquirer as
was agreed by the stockholders and directors
when the paper started. The need of All anti
fusion paper was what gave birth to the Eli
quirer There was no difference of opinion be-
tween the editors and board OF directors until
alter the Bangor convention 1t was thought
by many that the anti-fusion tone of the En-
quirer had something to do with keeping fus-
ION out of the Bangor convention. have also
run the Enquirer according to my conSclenco
and Judgment in the interest of the cause, the
advancement Vi Wnlcn Is my lie WORK, III my
Judgment, with tue light OF the past before me,
/ did not fight fusion soon enough. and have
not fought fusion hard enough. Convinced
that fusion with either of the old parties is
fatal, the battle of the Enquirer has been for
standing room outside OF the two old parties.
On this line the course of the Enquirer has
been consistent from the first issue to the pres
ent time The labor has been hard. Commit
tees and candidates. aud every MAJ who had
mite Of fusion in his bones did not like the
Enquirer. 1t was rough field TO pillow, but
',them steers did not finch and came up to
tae bow every time.
II SO much has not heen accomplished as was
hoped have the consc BUSINESS OF having done
all could in the line of what deem my duty.
A communication III this paper from james
Nash, the lawyer, on the ard of directors, iD-
dicales that honorable fusion is desired.
Honorable fusiCn' to NY mind is misappll-
cation oil terms. There Can be- no honorable
iusion' any more than there can be honorable
treason. Fusion has driven me from the En-
quIrer but not FROM my work and duty. When
| honest Greenbackers stop and think they will
see tnar the struggle of the Enquirer has been to
| prevent the GroeuDack party IRON being wiped
out. The bedrock principle that gave birth to
| the Greenback party, thai men shall not gel
rich by swapping dollars, will never die, aud
will Do engrafted in the organic law OF the
| land even II we have 70 wait until better men
| are born.

I have none but the kindest feelings toward
those friends who were once bright and shin-
ing lights in the Greenbaok party, but now see
their line OF duty in different direction. Now
there has come parting of the ways and the
logic Of events will prove that the road through
the Democratic party is not the road to success
nor the way to bring the Greenback party into
power.
1t is but Justice to the board of directors to
say they have not approved my management
of the Enquirer and are in no way responsible
for what has appeared in its columns. For the
last year there has been wide difference of
opinion between the board of directors and the
editor of the Enquirer. The situation has
been unpleasant all around. have not asked
nor received aid or support from the board OF
dir ctors, because the directors did not like the
thunder of the Enquirer. was not asked 10
advocate fusion, but to keep still and let the
candidates and committees trade. and then
'fall in with what was called the will OF the
people," This isiwhat is meant by honorable
fusion" There is large body OF Greenback-
ers in this State who can only see dishenor and
defeat in fusion. These men are the stackpo
around which will gather the party OF the fu-
ture. They can wait and bide their time.
The Enquirer has no unpaid bills and now
passes over to fusion management without
dollar of debt, except what may be due to sub
scribers. I have learned one lesson, that Is,
never to contract to make thunder for subscrib-
ers with another mans machine.

AS the time for the Ohio election ap-
prOaches more nearly, the Republican
campaign there develops some curious
features. Among them Is an anti Conk-
ling sentiment, in the following form as
stated by the Columbus correspondent of
the New York Times (Rep):
LET President Arthur show a dis.
position to be advised or led by ex-Sena-
tor Conkling and there will be no voice
raised for him in Ohio and no hand held
out to help his administration, except
such hands as are open for the loaves
and fishes he may have to dis
tribute. The feeling everywhere is re-
markable in Its intensity, and
if President Arthur repeats, in any
sense, his course at Albany during the
Senatorial contest, 80 600 Ohio Repub-
llcans will stay away from the polls on
election day. The feeling towards Mr..
Conkling throughout this State is one of
anger, distrust and disgust; and law
abiding as are the people of Northern
and Central Ohio, the late Senior Senator
from New York could hardly travel
about here in safety from open insult,
If not from bodily harm. Illogical
as the feeling may be, the thought
seems to force itself out from the public
mind that Mr.. Conkling is responsible
for the causes leading to President Gar
fields death; and there is no toleration of
the thought that he should profit even
indirectly by the late Presidents death.
The feeling toward Gen. Arthur is to-
day one of loyalty, of sympathy, and of
hope; but little would be needed to
change that to hostility aud to sound the
note of war;"

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.
THE REPUBLICANS PREPARED
TO YIELD.
The Government and the BOnds-
The Yorktown CentennIaI-The
Treasury and the Money Market
GuIteau Not Yet Indfcted-Sena e
Organization.

WASHINGTON, October THE Protestant
ministers Of this city assembled in the ro-
tuuda Of the capitol at O'Clock to day and
proceeded in body to call on President
Arthur.
The checks are being prepared in Treasu-
rer Gilfllsn's Office for the payment of the
interest on the registered per cent. bonds
Of 1881, which have been continued to 81
per cents. There are 100000 holders Of
these bonds, and the amount to be paid out
is about 50, 100000.
It is now stated that the appropriation for
the military display at the Yorktown cele-
bratiOn is exhausted, and that there will be
a deficit OF about So, 500, which Congress
will be asked TO make good. The appro-
priatiOn for the entertainment OF the foreign
visitors is also insufficient, and similar ac-
tion will be taken with regard to It.
The Guiteau indictment was not presented
TO the grand Jury to-day.
Secretary Window telegraphs from Boston
that he will be here tomorrow and will re-
sumo his duties on Monday. There appears
TO be no ground for surprising that the Sec
retary will a. this time offer to redeem
the bonds embodied In the Josh call
without a rebate of interest. Promi-
neDt Treasury officials maintain that
the statements TO that effect are without the
slightest foundation. They contend more
over that such action would not relieve the
stTiDgency of the money market, inasmuch
as the outlay from the Treasury would be
almost Immediately swallowed up by specu-
latOrs and the market left in equally as bad
a condition as before the redemption occur
red. Further than this there is said to be
no precedent for such long anticipation of
interest.
Senator Pendleton, Chairman of the eau
Gus committee, has issued a call for a con-
ference of Democratic Senators to be held
at the capitol at II o'clock tomorrow fore
noon. No conference was held to-day or
tonight. A Republican Senatorial confer
ence will also be held tomorrow. 1t is
pretty generally conceded by both Repub-
licans and Democrats that a Democratic
President pro tenn. will he elected Monday,
and that the three new Republican Senators
will afterwards be sworn in
