GOOD SENSE
Concerning the Temperance Question
Good Templar Record.)

GOOD Templar Record)
In cur issue of two weeks ago we penned q
few words of warning to .ae temperance men
OF Maine relative to the coming campaign. In
our article We merely gave our views of the
situation, committing no one except ourselves
editorially to them. The article was very
plainly worded, SO plainly, that only the in
famed brain Of an excited partisan, or pro-
found egotist could mistake the meaning. Yet
the mistake has been made, and last week the
senior Editor, while attending Forest City
Lodge, of Portland. Of which he is secretary
YVES bitterly assailed by Andrew j. Chase, q
member Of that Lodge. Mr.. Chase accused
him of trying to bring the order of Good Tenn
plars into politics, "a most absurd chargel
showered upon him epithets of indignity, and
threatened him with dire vengeance, if he
dared to betray the Order, or support Robe.
Eulogizing the while Gov. Plaisted, and order
ing his subscri ption to the Record stopped.
This was at recess. Shortly after recess the
Editor left, and in his absence the matter was
brought up, and committee appointed to
draft resolutions of censure because of the pub
LEGATION of that article We understand that
Mr.. Chase is chairman of that committee, and
that he intends to show no quarter. Now
friends of tepaperancc, refer to the article we
beg of YOU and consider well whether or not,
it is capable of the construction, which this
eminently ingenious, honest, and distinguished
temperance advocate puts upon it, or whether
there is not cat under the meal in short, wheth-
or our eloquent friend is not electioneering for
Plaisted. He soundly berates others for being
party men first and temperance men after
ward How is it Mr.. Chase? Isn't it Plaist.
ed first, and temperance afterward with you?
or is tho war cry of the faction which you
seem to be seeking to encourage Anything
to beat the Republican party merely another
name for Temperance in all things" We
hone our brother Templars will not rate us too
soandly for daring to express our opinion with
out consulting A. j. Chase.

The case of Dexter Savings Bank vs. estate
of J. Wilson Barron, again occupies share of
attention in Dexter. Some months ago when
this case came, or was to come before the court
at Bangor, for trial, it was agreed by counsel
on either side to select list of names of relia-
BILE and experienced men from among whom
the presiding judge should choose two, and
that these two should examine and audit the
accounts as between tho bank and its late
treasurer, Mr. Barron, and make report to the
court. The gentlemen selected were Hon, S.
T. Humphrey, and j. S. Kicker, Esq, of Ban
gor. and Tuesday they commenced their la
bors in one of the rooms in the bank building.
The counsel for both parties were present,
Hon Josiah Crosby of Dexter, and Hon. Jo-
sia.h e. Drummond Of Portland, in behalf of
the bank, and Hon. D. D. Stewart of St. Al
bans, and 7. FL. B. Pierce, Esq, of Dexter, for
the Barron estate. Mr.. Piper, from Boston, AN
expert accountant, who'made an extended OK
animation of the banks affairs two years ago,
is also there. It of course cannot be foretold
how long the examination viii occupy the at
tention of the commission, or what will be the
nature of their report, but it is generally I'M
derstood that the conclusion to which they ar
rive will virtually be the ending Of this very
remarkable case.

The town of Arson has voted to issue a
series of four per cent. bonds and to offer them
to holders Of the towns defaulted railroad
bonds in even exchange. The old bonds bear
six and seven per cent. Interest. The town

eessful. The total amount of outstanding rail-
road bonds is about 100000 tits thought
be satisfactory to, and accepted by the holders

Paltering Plaisted.

P. Fl. Gordon writes as follows to Scion
Chase's paper:

hear Governor Plaisted speak in stentoIiah
tones, against that principle of wrong and IN
Justice which we have been told was so nrnly
imbeded in his manly and honest soul. reler
to the national banking system which i Kept
alive by the existence of a huge bonded dent
which is crushing the wealth producing classes
of this country to want and poverty; ana II
not exterminated, will result in developing
class of lords on the one side and serfs on the
other. Less than two years ago, heard GOV.
Plaisted with my own ears, very earnestly de,
nounce this great injustice and monopoly ana
those engaged in it. as being unworthy OF TINS
people and of being leaders II
the councils of this great nation
He referred to his visit to New York short
time before, and very vividly described inc
scene of Republican torchlight procession,
with these national bankers in line with their
lanterns on their arms, which designated their
business and their position in this great city
and money center of the county. Inc very
anguish of his soul flowed OUT in condemna-
ton of this great monopoly, its originators and
conductors; and he said that if that principle
and that class of men were to prevail and elect
the next President, that the ShackleS OF slavery
would be fastened upon the laborers OF tnls
country, and for them it would be long, dark
day indeed. Now the party that has nomlnat-
have nominated also from that class OF men
who carried the lanterns, a man to head their
congressional ticket. / have been waiting
long and anxiously, to see call for an indig-
nation meeting, with Governor Plais-
ted advertised to speak earnestly. and
enthusiastically from the depths OF his
soul, in condemnation of this outage
upon the wealth producing classes OF this
country, but have not seen it, and 10 and be-
hold, hear that he is going to take the stump
for this candidate and advise the Greenbaekers
to vote for him Oh, to what depths of degen-
eracy has this pious Plaisted descended. "Oh
consistency thou art a jewell. deception thou
art curse" Now brother Greenbackers, l
ask you to lay aside your Plaistedism and view
this matter from an unprecedented standpoint,
and do not believe that you, as an honest
Greenbacker, can longer be blinded and led by
this demagogue Plaisted. One word more:
I would cali your attention to Mr.. Things

shall not only through this campaign, but as
long life shall last, heshall be in perfect ac-
