IKennebec Journal
Mr.. Danes Candidacy,

The Kenne bee Journal, in talking about Demo
crats and GIeenbackers connected with banking
institutions fail to discriminate bet teen System
ef baking and doing business under thst system.
1t seems to think that nobody should engage In
bau king unless he heartily approves of the system
1t is surprised that anybody sh u embark In Dusl-
ness from 'mercensry' motives-for the sake of
earning living for himself and fsmiy-but should
do so from high, pstriotc, unselfish motives,Pro
bono patbticol Sublimatsd notions the journal has
in theory but very gross ones in practice We fear
that it doesn't even publish it's paper and do the
State printng entirely from disnterested motives.
The New Age does the best it can with
q very bad case. We find no fault from Re-
publican standpoint with Mr.. Dane for being
president Of bank and making legitimate
gains in that way if he chooses to. Our obiec-
ton is not to his business, but to bis nomir a.
ton to Congress by party who hold that the
business he is engaged in is robbery. Accord
ing to Greenback ideas Mr.. Dane is a robber,
his business is robbery. He is as much of
thief-iuuged by their principles and declsra-
tions-as though he relieved gentlemen of their
money, as Dick Turpin or the Bar Harbor high
wayman did. Their accusations are against
any bank or bank president. There can be no
discrimination in favor of Mr.. Dane or the
bank which he controls. All bank presidents
MIR. Dane not excepted--are robbers, and
ought to be annihilated, according to Green
mack and Fusion doctrine.
Now after placing the brand of Robber full
upon the forehead of Mr.. Dane, and holding
him up to dstsstation as belonging to a class of
thieves, whore is the proprety, the decency,
the sense of fitness, in making him the candi-
date for Congress of a party which by its plat
forms, speeches, newspapers, and in all posi-
BILE ways have pointed out HIM and the class
to which he belongs as men engaged in nefa-
rious business-robbery of the public
That is not all. Mr.. Dane is a banker. Not

paign or ever againse the business in which he
is engaged He doubtless believes in national
banks. He certainly has his money invested
in them, and this fact is the strongest evidence
he can give that he believes in them. Now
how absurd to send such man, president of
and stockholder in national bank to tight

to Congress to fight for prohibition, free-trad-
to fight for protection. balot-box suffers to
defend fair and free ballot? Nevsr. We
send men to Congress whose lives aud profess
sions agree in support of the principles which
they are expected to maintain, not mon who
are putting their money, brains and influence
against what we believe to be right and filling
their Golfers by doing so. We think our read
ers can understand our point if the New Age
cannot. And we challenge any greenbaoker to

HON. JULIUS G. BURROWS
The Reform School.

The unjust and lll-tempered attack made
by Governor Plaisted on the management of
the Reform School has provoked the indig-
nation of all who are acquainted with the
institution and with the worthy people who
have it in charge. There is absolutely no
basis of truth for the charges made by the
Governor. So astonishingly absurd were
they that the general opinion at first was
that Plaisted had been maliciously misrepre-
sented by the reporters of the Fusion papers.
But. as he does not dispute the accuracy of
the reports, it is fair to conclude that no
gross mistakes were made by the men who
sent his words over the State.
The view taken of the management OF the
School by those most intimately acquainted
with it is presented in our local column.
Men who have been in the way OF visiting
the institution since it has been under the
charge of the present capable Superinten-
dent are warm in praise of his wise admin
istration, and particularly extol his tender
ness toward the youth under his care. Gov
ernor Plaisted has certainly made grievous
mistake in his assault. Some of his warm
est party friends admit that. All must ad-
nit that the time he has taken to speak is
most inopportune and his manner of speech
most unidentified. The chief magistrate of
Maine ought to correct abuses in the State
charities, if any exist, instead of idly de-
claiming against them on the stunp.

The Cruel Egyptians.

Arab Bey and his Bedouins are not act
ing squarely by the British,-as the London
dispatches unanimously inform US. They
are net doing the generous thing. The 9TH
er day they went and killed Major Billy, o.
the S4th, gentleman belonging to one OF
the first families of England. That same
day an Arab horseman chased and came
near capturing some of Her Majesty's
Household Troops. The Egyptians also
neglected to furnish water to the horses
which have the honor to carry British dra-
goons. and committed many other barba-
rous acts. They even went so far as to
wound the son of an English baronet, and
malciously injured one of the guards.
Edwards noon Saturday they landed shells
right in the midst of the missionary army.
Later on they took unfair advantage by at
lacking the English with intense heat and
dysentery, thus putting to pain many young
gentlemen who had simply gone out for
few weeks sporting. 1t is too bad to spoil
fun that way. Nothing but rabble would
do it.
Later in the day the miscreants mustered
under Arab Pasha's banner served a bate
ry Of ten guns that Grained shells incessant-
ly" upon the friendly strangers, and even
"played freely upon Gen. Wellesley and his
staff" That was not right. The Bedouins
may be only in sport, but it is refined sort
of sport. II isn't the way to welcome an Eng
lishman He ought TO be treated with more
Difference, and should not be interfered
with in his pursuit of game. The Bedouins
may sin through ignorance, but every true
Briton will say that their conduct is very

The Outlook.
The Break In the Fusion Ranks-Republi-
can Gains in the Back-Lots Plaisted's
Chagrin.
Lewiston Journal.)


Last week in our review of the Maine politi-
cal campaign, we remarked that what mi hit
be termed an increasing current against
Plaistsdism was discernlble. This week the
air seems to be full of distressing disaster to
the Fusion cause. If it were anything but
political matter, we should call it almost
stampede. From all parts Of the State OR cor
respondents report Republican Greenbackers
who are disgusted with the Fusion business,
and who, this year, will vote the Republican
ticket. 1t is agreed the disguised and stay-at-
home vote ofthe opposition will be exceeding
ly large, this season. The more important
personal political items of the week are the an
nouncements Of Judge Gilbert of Bath, Chair
man Golf of Mexico, Mr.. Ridlon of Portland,
and Mr.. Hayford of Maysville. Judge Gilbert
of the Fusion Greenback State committee, is
out insa letter giving in his adhesion to Uncle
Scion and denounciDg Plaistedism Mr. Golf
of Mexico, of the Fusion Greenback county
committee of Oxford also repudiates Fusion
and puts on the white hat OF Uncle Scion. Mr..
kidon, of the Cumberland Democratic county
committee, is out in a letter rssigning his posi-
ton and denouncing Fusion. Mr.. Hayford,
formerly Greenback member Of the Lagisla-
ture from Aroostook county, announces that
he shall vote for Col. Robbie and the Republi-
can ticket
Here we have representatives Of the several
classes, who, az the Journal urged several
weeks since, have a large following in this
State this year,-the Disguised Grsenbackerc
rebuking Fusion fer Plaisted's benefit; the
disguised straight Democrat, rebuking Fusion
for an identical reason; and the Republican
Grsenbacksr, who sees the issues on which he
left the Republican party have been fought
out and that the Fusion party is no place for a
refermer who is in earnest The disintegra-
ton of the Fusion party is now SO obvious that
persons who talk about $1,000 plurality for Col.
Robbie are not regarded as wild prophets. In
deed, a straight and disguised Democrat, who

At Cit Hall.

The meeting at City Il all last evening was
perhaps the largest ever held in this city,
and shows the deep interest felt in the issue
of the campaign by the Republicans of
Portland. 1t was indicative of success.
Gen. Gbson's speech was received with
marked favor, and when Mr.. Blaine appear
ed he was greeted with long-continued ap-
plause. His address, given in full in our re-
port of the meeting, was eagerly listened TO
by the great audience. His keen. just
and bold discussion of State issues COM
manded the closest attention of his hearers,
and convinced them that in this quarrel the
Court and Council are right and the Cover
nor wrong. The reference he made to ma
tional issues was so apt, and his treatment
of the questions argued by political debaters
so clear and candid, that many who came to
scott remained to be converted. The meet
ing was certainly the largest and most en-
thusiastic that has been held during the
campaign,

George Washington Ladd.

The above named gentleman is The fusion
candidate for Congress
He has two kinds of speeches, those which
he don't deliver, and those which he had bet
ter not have delivered; but it is by neither of
the two that he is to be estimated. He is bour-
bon all through, and bourbon manufactured
from that mysterious relicsef forgotten age,
which Mr.. Hayes and his Postmaster General
were searching through the South for some
years ago-an old line whig.
His votes in Congress have been thrown
steadily with the extreme southern democracy
and on every public question he is in accord
with them; he has helped them to retain in
their seats men placed there by the most bare
faced frauds; like them he is for free trade and
against protective tariff, like them he is will
ing ~ relieve whiskey and tobacco and let hay
and wool suffer.
Mr. Ladd is believer in the theory of hir-
ing labor in the cheapest market and has been
q consistent illustration OF his theory wherever
and whenever circumstances have placed la
boriag man at his mercy; it is a notorious fact,
well known to the community, that where he
has lived and done business for SO many years,
there is no employer so hard and overbearing,
coarse and profane in his intercourse with the
poor man whom i'll fortune has placed
under his orders, as this same George W. LAod
and still he is allowed on the ticket with the
poor mans friend, and masquerades as a
Greenbacker, an anti-monopolist, and he Lord
knows what, whose chief mission in this world
is to lift the burndens from the unfortunate.
Isn't it about time to puncture this bladder,
and state what is the fact-that Mr.. Ladd in
stead of being in any sense the representative
Of the laboring man or the farmer, is simply
grasping, close-fstsd trader, harsh employer,
of manners Intimately below the average of the
class he assumes to represent, and transpar-
ent humbug when he pretends to be anything
but what he is-a bunker Democrat.
The Greenbackers appear to have found him
out as we'll as Paisted, and we have no doubt
will help cook his goose at the coming election
and while we do not believe in Fusion, we are
willing this year to adopt the Commercials IA
vorite motto of two years ago, Let all who think
alike act together" and thus have all who
think that Governor Plaisted and Congress-
man Ladd are q pair of gorgeous political hum
bugs-vote for some other mani

A HIGH official of the Erie railroad says

A HIGH official of the Erie railroad says
the coming man of the railroad trains is al
most here--a lookout upon the engines
whose sole duty shall be to watch signals,
bridges, crossings, functions, and the track
before him, and communicate his alarm by
a gong, to the engineer whose sole duty will
be to look after his engine. The engineer
he saws. has much more than he can do, and
somebody must ease him of his load As it
is, he may be trying his water-gauge just
when he should be looking for signal.
There are fifty necessary things he may be
doing that will take his eye from the road
for an instant, but in that instant he will
miss a signal and wreck will be the result.
This lookout, says the high official OF the
Erie railroad, will be seen upon the lotome-
live in very few years.

A Romantic French Name.

County, Connecticut, arrived at the States to-
day. Their names were Abraham, Isaac and

Jewish names some of these Connecticut Yam

about these curious names to-day, aud the ex-
Secretary told me story about an aunt of Mr..
Cheney, OF Boston, who named her children
after names which she found in French novels.
