famous medicine firm. Mr.. Gregg has

ANGRY ABOUT BUTLER.

from The = Louis KepubIican, Dem'I
\ distinguished statesman of other days
characterized a nomination by his party
as one mot At to be made" This, we
think will be the voice OF the United States
with respect TO the nomination Of b. +.
Butler, OF Massachusetts,, for Governor by
the Democratic party OF that State. The
objections 10 him are OF almost every con-
ceivable character personal. political
and moral. He is personally offensive to
more Democrats in al sections Of America
than any other man.
Still, like Horace Greedy, he may yet be
the Democratic candidate for President

Rum AND DEMoCRACY.-The Illinois Ii
auor Dealers Association met at Rock Is
land Wednesday, and resolved THAT the
manly, outspoken declaration against pro-
hibition and prohibatory amendment to
our State constitution, as adopted by the
lat Democratic State convention at
Springfield, Is deserving Of the highest
praise on the part Of this convention" 1t
was determined to use the funds and votes
of the liquor dealers to aid the Illinois
State ticket, and against the Republicans.
The liquor dealers Of Indiana, Ohio, Iowa
and Kansas have also taken the same po-
sition. To their mind the Republican
party is practically committed to the sup
port of temperance ideas, and the Demo
cratic party to opposite views.-L. Jour

COLLECTOR Wakefield and Postmaster
Hogan Of Bath, have resigned their posi-
tiouS on the Republican city committee

tanned it. Republican supremacy while

The Biddeford Journal gives Hon. Ros-
coe L. Bowers of Saco, the present mem
Der of Gov Plaisted's Council from this
district, send-of for State Treasurer.
This knocks the idea OF the Press that
there will be no opposition to Treasurer
HolbroOk. Mr.. Bowers has shown good
pluck and judicious mind in the fight
with Plaisted. II there is to be change
in the office, we apprehend that Mr.. Bow
ers would nh the bill as State Treasurer, to
the satisfaction of all.

THE Boston Globe says the Republicans
carried our State election by bribery. This
same paper tried to justify Garcelon's
count-out on the ground that the result
had been obtained by bribery. Last year
it had nothing to say about this crime,
though Senator Hill, Plaisteds father-in-
law, admits that the Fusionists used too
much money to carry the day. 1t is only sus-
picions of Republican bribery, which the
Globe condemns.

Democratic Congressional Convention Que
of the speakers plaintiyely set forth the
degeneration incident 10 Republican rule.
d" Before the war, in the good old Demo
cratic days, man could buy good square
drink OF whiskey for three cents-three
drinks, morning, noon and night, for nine
cents. Now one drink costs ten cents,
and three drinks cost thirty cents. A la
boring man or mechanic who earned only
Il q day could, in the old Democratic
days, buy three drinks day and have
ninety-one cents left, with which TO buy
neceSSaries for his family. Now labor
ing man or mechanic who earns only 81 a
day, after paying for three drinks OF whis-
key, will have only seventy cents left with
which 10 buy ueceSsarieS for his family"
II did not occur TO the Buckeye Democrat
that By any possibility the laboring man
could 90 without the three drinks Of whis-
key each day.

THE FITNESS OF CANDIDATES FOR
OFFICE.


OFFICE.
At the iolihcation meeting held in Nor
embega Hall. Bangor, Friday evening, the
hall was packed and much enthusiasm pre-
vailed Many good things were said but
the best of all was uttered by Deacon
Wheelwrisht, a venerable gentleman who
made no pretentions 10 oratory. He said
that If the Republican party would be more
careful Of their nominations in the future
than they had been in the past no one
present would live long enough to see the
party 20 out of power. This is true, in
deed. \ party i known and Judged by
the candidates put forward for office.
When party puts forward such man as
George NJ. Robson Of New Jersey for Con-
greSS il i virtual admission that the
rank and file of the party care nothing

smart. IL Is seed that is sure 10 bear fruit
sooner or later and the Republicans OF New
Jersey are sure 20 feel it, effects Just a.
Pennsylvania is now feeling the effects Of
CamerOuiSm.
Our State is now in good condition 10
profit by The mistakes of others as well as
her own, aud If she does so, the words
quoted above will prove prophetic. When
Gov. Dlngley arose above party and nom
iIated ARENAS Libbey one OF the Judges
OF the Supreme Court, he displeaSed many
OF his party friends, but n the light OF to-
day who thinks il was not Just the thing
for him 10 have done both from business
and partisan point OF view: Governor
Robbie will find when he assumes the chair
Of state that every poor nomination be
makes whether the man be friend or foe.
Republican or Democrat, viii hurt him and
his party. Every good nomination will
strengthen his administration and his
party.
The same rule applies equally as well in
the choice Of officers by the coming Legis-
lature. II will not do 10 put men into re-
SpOnSible positions which they cannot iii
simply because they have done the party
good service, for by so doing they will do
the party infinitely more injury than they
have possibly been able 70 aid it.
These suggestions have no application
10 any particular candidacy, but they are
dropped for the good Of all concerned.
II they are Needed the Republican party
will grow rapidly each year throughout the
State.
