Plaisted's Politics.

Governor Plaisted says he is Greenbacker
and not a Democrat. To his Grcenback friends
he is very positive in this assertion, fearing
that unless he can make them believe it he
will lose their votes in September. 1t is all
very well to soothe them in this manner, If he
can, but talk is cheap, as the Greenbackers are
beginning to discover. What has Governor
Plaisted done for his Greenback friends in this
county in the two years he has held that office?
There have been but three important offices to
be filled by appointment, namely, Judge of the
Municipal Court, to which he appointed John
B. Redman, County Commissioner, to which
he appointed Hamilton Joy, and Sheriff, for
which the name of Levi B. Wyman was twice
sent before the Council for approval; all Flu
sionists, to be sure, but as thoroughly dyed-in-
thew COL, case-hardened Democrats as the
county affords. Why was not William FL.
Gard, of Franklin, the Greenback candidate
for County Commissioner two years ago, APP
pointed to that Office by Governor Paisted
when it became vacant? 1t could not have
been because Mr.. Gard is not in every way
qualified for the position, for he is and besides
he was the candidate of his party for the place,
and by all party usages should have received
the appointment at the hands OF Greenback
Governor.
Not single Greenbacker has received any
position at the hands of Plaisted that is of any
value or Importance How will our Green
back friends Judge Governor Plaisted? Will
they Judge him by his words, or his acts? Is
there any reason why Democrats should ask
him for assurances of fidelity to their party?
Has he not shown by his acts, which certainly
speak louder than words, that he is sufficiently
a Democrat to answer all the purposes OF that
party? We know that we are not asking cues
lions that have not already suggested them
selves to our Greenback friends, but it is i'm
portant for them to answer these questions, to
the satisfaction of their own conscences, at
least before the day of election comes round.
If Governor Plaisted is playing into the hands
of the Democratic party, as his acts in this
county indicate, then good many who have
heretofore voted the Greenback ticket will not
do so this year. A good many are saying to
themselves, 1--WE are no Democrats, and don't
intend to become SUCH" Let all such remem-
Der that it makes no difference to the Demo
cratic party by what party name men call
themselves, if only they vote for their candi-
date If only the man whom they can control
can be placed in power they are in no way par
ticular about the source from which the votes
come that place him there Ii Governor
Plaisted is controlled by Greenbackers, how
does it happen that all his appointments are
from the Democratic party?

Anderson VS.. Reed

1t is often said ''there is no new thing under
the SUM-" This is in a measure verified by the
temperance of the old charge, Republicans
planning to buy the election" Democrats are
shouting it OIL all sides, This is so like 1880
that ii seems but an echo of the last campaign
Just coming back.
The question that concerns the people is this:
Is it true? Is it entitled to any credit? The
same men appear making the same charges as
in 80. Fortunately, this question has been
passed upon by competent tribunal. 1t sur
yived the noise and confusion Of the last cam
paign and came for deliberate settlement be-
fore Congressional committee of both politi-
cal parties The lection contest between An
derson and Reed made this whole matter the
subject of careful investigation.
A review of this case reveals the amount OF
faith one should have in this revival OF the
old cry.
It is now well known that those most loud
mouthed in eliminating Republicans were
themselves holders of large Democratic cor
ruption fund. 1t appears that this noisy as

sault served as a cover for contemplated Dem
ocratic bribery.
When defeated at the polls, it was loudly
maintained that the result was secured by the
corrupt use of money. Democrats affirmed
that evidence was at hand and would be pro-
duced to GUST Mr.. Reed and seat Anderson.
This pushing the election to a contest in the
House was but another step in what Demo
Gratis knew to be desperate policy. At no
time did they expect to unseat Mr.. Reed The
purpose was to secure an endorsement of their
bribery charges, by the Democratic part of the
Elections Committee that they might use it
with more effect in another campaign. In this
they have met with most pitiful failure.
The contest is ovei The trial ended, before
Democratic jurors and by their verdict, Mr..
Reed is acclaimed to have been legally and
honestly elected. Every Democratic vote in
committee was for Reed, and against Ander-
son. The oft-repeated charge Of Republican
bribery was so unsupported that not one would
attempt its defence by word or vote.
In this Democracy stands self-convicted. Its
charge of fraud itself pronounced fraud. Yet
with no sense of shame, it opens another cam
paign with the same old cry. Democratic edi-
tors dwell upon Republican bribery, shutting
their eyes to the fact that Democrats in Com
gress have written falsehood across the face of
every such charge. In September these will
wake to the fact that the people are not politi-
callv hind.

THE pastors of the Methodist Episcopal
churches of York Penn. print card giving
their reasons for refusing to attend "so-called
Methodist camp-meetings." Many of these
enterprises, they say, are not under the con-
troll of any department of the Church and
are managed by ''grossly immoral men,"
who use money to bride uneducated con-
sciences, and obtain this money by collision
with railroad corporations. The position of
the preachers is summed up in their second

influence is more helpful than hurtful to the
cause of Christ"
