AMAN OF THE PEOPLE FOR CONGRESS.

The United States Senate contains
seventy.six Senators, of whom .fJty-
SeUen are lawyers; in the House OF
Representatives there are two hun
bred and ninety-three members, of
whom one hundred and ninety.tfue are
lawyers. From this it will be seen
that more than two-thirds of the entire
Congress of the United States is made
up of lawyers alone, while greater
part of the other one-third consists of
bankers, capitalists, and gentlemen
connected with transportation and
manufacturing monopolies. When we
consider these facts it is not matter
for surprise that the people are be-
coming disguised with the manner in
which legislation is conducted, and
that they are becoming FESTIVE under
the leadership and dictation of Sena-
torial, Representative, State. county,
legislative and municipal bosses and
professional politicians who are osten-
sibly laboring in the interests of the
'dear people but in reality only for
their own advancement. The AFRO
gance and intolerance of the ring
bosses have become so great that the
people are seriously considering the
necessity of giving them rest from
their arduous labors of setting up
pins" by nominating and electing
few officers who do not bear the ring
brand of approval. This sentiment
demands for its Congressional candi-
date a gentleman who is capable, hon
est, fearless and true; one who is not
even remotely connected with bank
ing, transportation or manufacturing
corporations seeking legislation against
the interests of the people; one who
is not demagogue; one who, while
conceding to chartered corporations
all to which they are justly entitled,
will take firm stand against the un
just encroachments of such corpora
lions upon the interests of the people;
and one who is not member Of amy
syndicate formed for the purpose of
saying who shall not be permitted to
hold an office. Republicans in this
district who wish to promote the In
terests of their party and of the peo-
pie by aiding to secure the election of
one possessing the attributes suggest
ed, are turning to Hon. Hans B. War
ner, of this county, as one who will
best suit their purpose, and there is a
growing desire among those not infiu.
enced by local politicians who have
already been enlisted in behalf of an
other, that he become candidate.
Mr.. Warner is well known throughout
the district as being man of the peo-
pie, with whose interests he is in
hearty sympathy, as gentleman Of
sterling worth, and should he be pre-
vailed upon TO consent to the use of
his name as a candidate his nominal
ton and election would be a hopeful
sign for the political future of this
district.

the Independent movement in Penn

that State, says: The Independent
movement in Pennsylvania means
simply that Republicans are freemen

spected in party councils and whose
public servants, placed in power by
their votes, shall be servants of the
people, and not hencbmen of party
leaders or slaves of political bosses.

The Presidents Veto.

TO the Editor Of the Press:
The veto of the river and harbor bill by
President Arthur will have the approval Of the
whole country. This bill was got up or inaug-
urated by members Of Congress to promote
their own individual interests among their
constituents, without the least regard to pub
lie good-to deplete the treasury. for the ben
eft OF men who live upon the government, by
jobs and contracts which they obtain by undue
influence over honest bidders 1t is wonderful
that " it'll the iaighty pressure brought upon
President Arthur, he should have vetoed
this bill. This act of the President, will show
most conclusively to sthe country that he is
worthy of confidence, that the great interests OF
the nation, are in safe hands twill show to the
Republican party, that they have leader at
the head of the government about whom they
can gather with honor, that he is worthy OF
their support and confidence, that if they have
faltered in their support of the President in
time past, they have no reason for doiHg SC
now. That President Arthur is governed by
his honest convictions and that he has the
independence to proclaim them no one will here
after doubt, 81.

A Protest.

To the Editor of the Press
AS we have no Greenback paper in this
county to flee to, will you publish these few
lines. We have met in convention today. The
hard money Democrats carried the whole
thing, and even sent straight Democrats into
our convention as delegates and then put them
upon committees They had 10 delegates from
Portland and gave us four from Standish when
we threw as many Greenback votes as Portland.
1t does not seem as it should be. Forty-five
from the Greenback convention, 45 from the
Democratic convention make 80 votes from the
city, and the city Fusonists run the thing to
suit themselves. The conference committee
were from Portland and they preached up any
thing to beat the Republican party; but when
they have chance to vote for man that has
done more than any other to defeat the Repub-
lican party, they vote for Democrat every
time. BY SO doing they have carried the thing
too far. Many of the delegates to the Green
back convention did not endorse their nomina
lions and will not; and will call another con-
vention to fill the rest of their ticket.
