THE Boston Journal, abiding to the OPP
posite declarations respecting the currency,
of the two platforms on which Governor
Plaisted stands, remarks:
nGov Plaisted. in his variegated political
fortune seeking career since 1875, has declared
MANY times in favor of both these propositions.
On thirteen occasions while in Congress he IN
dorsed No. 9 hard money by his votes, and
until the greenback vertigo, which appeared
in the election of 1878, convinced him that
political preferment could be reached only by
adopting No. 1 [soft money! as his creed he
declared his undying devotion to sound, nard
and honest money. The same may Dc sala Oh
Mr.. Thing. AS to Mr.. Dane, as the president
of a national bank, he has been supposed 10
have planted his feet upon No. hard money!
until the very recent Greenback convention IN
Portland, when he informed its members that
he was in hearty accord with them, or words
to that effect Now it is easy enough, as we
have seen, for alert men like Governor Plals-
ted to jump from platform NO. to NO. |, Dut
he and his associates have never publicly at
tempted to stand on both at the same time.
THE Advertiser does not question the
authenticity of the despatch to the Augusta
meeting December, 1879, signed by Plaisted
and approving the Garcelon count-out az
lawful, but pleads that he was actuated by
lofty and patriotic motives. That is the plea
put forth by political wrong-doers or adj
vanced in their defense by their admirers
since the world began. The facts are these:
The Council had talsifed the count; had re-
fused certificates to 81 elected members of
the Legislature, and given certificates to
men defeated at the polls; had, as the
Springfield Republican at the time said, de-
liberateIy falsified the result of State cleo
ton; and Plaisted sent dispatch commend
ing their action as Sin compliance with the
constitution and the laws" and promising
to Sustain them' This is record that
cannot be rubbed out

The Parson Wasn't Very Pertickler,'
But Uncle Mace Was.

The Rev. Whangdoodle Baxter, an
Austin colored clergyman, wished to
hint to Uncle Mace, who is his near
neighbor, that a gift of a cord of fire.
wood would be very gratefully accepted.
Uncle Mace, by the way, does not like
Whanodoodle much. Finally, says
Whangdoodle, insinuatingly:
Uncle Mace, Use gwine ter be pow
erful hard up for firewood this winter.
Can't yer gimme q load?"
Uncle Mace looked all around as il he
were afraid of being overheard, and then
he said:
'.Parson, is you VERY pertickler Whar
de wood comes from?''
Parson Whangdoodle supposed this to
mean that Uncle Mace was going to
give him some stolen wood, SO he re
piled:
Uncle Mace, as long as l gets de
wood I don't keer much whar it comes
