Democratic Politics in York County


The Saco correspondent of the Argus is
struck with holy horror by discovering a cir
cular which has been used by the Republicans
ofthat city, circular legitimate and proper
in every sense of the word simply calling for
the names of new voters, change in residence
and any facts bearing upon the Republican
canvass in that city. Upon this circular being
brought to his notice he INDUCES in the low
dirty style of argument that appeared in the
Argus on Saturday last-an article disgraceful
and nasty, unwarranted and uncalled for and
of which the correspondent must indeed feel
proud.
This is but a sample straw of the way the
opposition are conducting their caucus in this
county, one of false statement, gross mis-
representation and foul SANDER. Most of their
venom is at present turned upon one OF the
Republican nominees on the county ticket, a
gentleman who has long been known to the
Republicans of this county as one of their
truest men and hardest workers for the priDci-
pies of the party in York county. Toward this
gentleman the opposition are directing all
their efforts and their canvass in this parti-
cular is batch of pure unauthorized lies.
Even minister of the gospel at meeting
not long since made statement concerning
| this gentlemans candidacy which he either

| terribly taken in. He left few DAYS later for
| New York there to remain but he left behind
him uncorrected the false statement which he
| had made.
Opposed to this gentleman who is sick on
| his bank and unable to personally refute the
| vile ISLANDERS of the opposition is man OF most
unsavory reputation and who 1t is currently
| rumored is playing the hypocrite in his canvass
| for 1t is pretty well known that while he him.

| "anti-temperance' wing is being systematical-
| ~ worked by a few of his particular friends,
| perhaps related by blood, in his interest but
| we confidently believe that on the evening OF
| September 18th "$1005' will find that the
voters OF York county have put no more con-
fidence in his profession than they would in
| those OF his brother in sin "Scythe Sharpener

wadswortn Family Reunion.

The Wadsworth family are to celebrate the
250th anniversary of the landing of the first
settlers in America by the name at Duxbury,
Mass, on Wednesday, September 18Th. Two
brothers, William ard Christopher, came over

the autograph of Miles Standish, who ac-
knowledged the instrument as justice of tie

The trouble with Samuel Fenton Gary is that
his very existence is a casualty. He never was

quence appears among US as a very unnecessa-

me of story told by the late Sidney Smith, who
said that farmer could always tell the number
of a coming litter by counting the number of
teats provided by kind Nature for the APP
preaching family of swine. The witty Sidney
Smith said there was generally teat for each
pig. But sometimes through an eccentricty
OF nature one pig more appeared than had
been provided for. In that case, poor little
piggy went fighting from teat to teat, driven
off by the lawful possessor until, driven by hun
ger aud desperation, it would sieze the caudal
appendage of the indifferent mother, and then
suck and squeal, and squeal and suck, until ex-
hausted nature found relief in death. In this
way Samuel Fenton Gary has come into this
evil world without design and of course with
out provision, and he has gone fighting for a
feat from party to party, until at last he has
fastened on the tail Of the Democratic swine.
ana there he squeals and sucks and sucks and
soueals until Divine Providence shall remove
him to another and better world.

Purchase OF school Books.

To the Editor OF the Press:
Will you permit me through your journal to
call the attention of the friends of our school
system to subject the consideration OF which
is especially pertinent to the present time.

ing the matter of change of readers; and as
usual, under the present arrangement, doubt

O good time to commence the trial OF the plan
that has been urged By our worthy Superin-
tendent of Schools, in several OF his reports,
and that has been so successfully tried in some
of our most progressive cities and towns. re-
fer to the purchasing of the school books by
the city rather than by the parent and the
loaning of them to the children under the
careful supervision of the teachers. | have
not time nor can you spare space to-day for
any extended discussion of the question but
may " that wherever it has been tried, the
plan has worked admirably. 1t is economical,
saving at least one-third of the gross amount
of money expended for books; IL is most con-
venient, the books being ready for all the
classes and individuals when needed; it ena-
bies every child to have the books needed,
thus doing away with large amount of ab-
sence and consequent vagrancy; it permits
greater variety in reading through the wider
opportunity of selection from series of equal
merit and consequent interchange among the
different schools and it is found from the ex-
perienee of other cities that the books are well
kept and handed down from class to class with
a very small percentage of loss.
AS to the expense of the proposed plan in
the case of the new reading books, I learn that
if the scholars leave their old readers, the new
series could be furnished at a cost to the city
of little less than eight hundred $500 dol
lars if the scholars retain their old readers it
will cost about twice that amount or sixteen
hundred (1600) dollars. / learn also that there
is a sufficient amount in the school appropria-
ton of the present year to meet this expendi-
ture, so that no additional appropriation will
be necessary to make trial of the proposed
plan. / earnestly hope that the school com
mittee will deem it wise to endeavor to obtain
from the city government authority to try the
experiment, at least so far as the new ding
books are concerned. / learn that two series,
from rival publishing houses, are before the
committee, aad that the members of the COM
mittee are quite evenly divided in opinion as
to their respective merits. Let the schools
have the advantage of using both series and
thus the first step will be taken by our city in
the introduction of method very far IN 'ad
vance of our present system of furnishing
school books

Letter from Wallace Ross.

Wallace Ross publishes the following letter
in yesterdays Boston Herald:
To the Editor of the Herald After making
every possible effort on several different occa-
sons to induce Edward Hanlan to row a race
with me for the championship of the world,
and having failed, through no fault of mine, to
bring about such race, returned to st. John
from Winnipeg, Man, last July, intending to
make no further attempt in that direction, un-
til Mr.. Hanlan announced himself in condition
to row match races. Soon after my return to
St. John Mr.. Hanlan, much to my surprise, is
sued public challenge offering TO row any i've
men in the country series OF five match races
for stated amounts each race. AS Mr.. Hsnlan
owed q race to me first, 1 accepted his chal-
lenge for myself, STIMULATING that alone should
row the I'VE races he proposed. He rejected my
acceptance and offer, and once more avoided
meeting with me. Realizing that the Only way
open to the championship was to challenge the
holder OF this title to a race, and to draw my
challenge ia such form as to make its accept
ance, within reasonable time, condition I'M
der which Mr.. Hanlan should remain the cham
pion scnller in the world Ia proceeding recog-
nizeG IS proper by custom and precedenO is
sued challenge And now, the time within
which my challenge should have been accepted
having expired, claim the single scull cham
pionship of the world, and am prepared to de-
fend the title against Mr.. Edward Hanlan, or
any and all corners. Most truly yours,
WALLACE Ross.
