DAMxRIsc0TTA, Aug. 81, 1882.
Hon. Warren n Union:
NY Dear Sir-I am in receipt of a com
municaton stating that you referred to me
in public address in Bath to-day, in such
manner as TO give the impression that,
in conversation with yourself, had APP.
proved the independent political movement
recently inaugurated in this State. This
impression is so far removed from the
views which entertain and have freely
expressed, that it becomes my duty to take
this method--riic only one open to me, in
the absence of any official communication
from your meetiug,-to correct IL.
The only conversation have had with
yourself on the subject, was casual one
of not more than minute in the railroad
station at Portland, in which / expressed
surprise at the independent movement In
augurated few days before, OF which
had learned for the first time on that day,
adding that the platform adopted-reierring
to prohibition, civil service reform aud
economy-were good principles
which could be best advanced within the
Republican organization.
The call for passengers TO take the train
prevented me further saying, what j will
now say to render 1t impossible for me 10
be misunderstood, that In my Judgment the
Independent movement, so far as 1t takes
any Republican votes, can have the effect
only 10 aid Governor Plaisted and the Fuss
ion ticket, and To retard the progress OF
the principles which the Independents pro-
TESS TO have In view. IL seems To me that
Governor Plaistcd's course in declining To
continue Judge Libbey on the Supreme
Bench, which he has so greatly honored,
and his attempt To remove for political
reasons so excellent a Reporter OF Decis-
ions as Colonel Spauldng, as well as other
capable officials. during the terms FOR which
they were appointed, are in violation OF
essential principles OF any civil service re-
form; aud 1 cannot, therefore, see how
any friend OF such reform can even iudi-
rectly contribute 10 his reelection.
While cheerlully concede 10 others the
right 10 judge for themselves rs 70 the
course which they shall pursue, your ref
erencc TO myself makes 1t my duty TO again
state the position which occupy, aud TO
give the same publicity TO this note that
has been given To your references 20 myself
With much respect,
I remain your obedient servant,

Vote early and but once.

Ar present writing the Fusionists Of Ok
ford County have been unable TO make up
a County ticket. c. +. Whitman has de-
clined to be the candidate FOR Clerk, and no
suitable or available man has been found
for Sheriff. Tie Sheriff nomination has
been offered TO at least two Republicans
and the Clerkship nomination was offered
to an eastern Oxford man and declined,
last week. There is no enthusiasm for
fusion, and so little prospect of County
success, that men do not care to stand up
10 be knocked down on a sure thing.

Support the true temperance
man,
Hon. NELSON DINGLEY,
Jr., for Congress.

HON. NELSON DINGLEY, JR. of Lewiston,
would be our candidate for Congress if
Gov. Plaisted had not refused to call the
Legislature together to re-district the
State. If we had the district as of old,
he would be returned by 4 very large
majority. He has made his mark as an
advocate of the poor mans rights and
as business man. We shall all vote
with good heart for him, as an honest
man, true TO the best interests OF socie-
~. He will run 500 votes ahead of his
ticket If all who acknowledge his ability
vote for him and see that their friends
do the same. Make sure Of his election
by adding his name to all the Fusion
tickets you can.

We cannot believe that Mr.. Geo.W. Ladd is
so reckless as 10 state rs OF his own knowledge
that the present Congress has increased the ap.
preparations 800, 1000 in one year, while in
fact The increase is only s46,D60.000 and $3t,
100000 OF that was for pensions under the law.
lie must have heard some desperate guess
made To that effect, and accepted IL without
knowledge. The fact is. Mr.. Lddd has been in
his seat so little during the session that he pro
baby couldn't tell whether the increase was
one dollar. Mr.. Ladd will not be defeated,
therefore, because OF his lack OF knowledge,
but because or his total lack of. attention TO
business through which knowledge might have
come Ealsehood like that touching the appro-
priations cannot save him from public con.
demnation.-l Wing.

The Republican rally 10 the Fair Grounds
last Friday. was a grand success. over
two thousand people were on the
ground. and au were well pleased with the
discussion of political questions.
Hon James G. Blaine was the first
speaker. lie devoted his time entirely TO
discussion Of State issues, as made up
by Gov. Plaisted in his letter OF accept
auce ana in his speeches. lie reviewed
the case ably and showed how Uu;enable
was Plai>ted'S position in his controversy
both with tie Council and with the Court.
He arraigued the Governor As rebel 10
the laws Of Maine, and declared that Gov
ernoIS had been impcached for less often
ses. Mr.. Blaine is a vigorous and con-
vincing speaker, and those who wish for
fair discussion are always pleased with
his speeches. Capt. c. \. Boutelle Of Ban
gor was onhis way from Waterford where
ne spoke the previous evening. and on in
vitation spoke briefly for a few moments
before train time. after Dir. Blaine had
closed his address. We speak of Mr.
Boutele at length in another portion of
the paper.
Gen. Gibson closed the meeting with a
lengthy speech reviewing the history Of
the two parties. His speech was full Of
those bright sayings and lively stories
which come to Us 50 fresh from Western
orators. and which enliyen political de-
bates that otherwise must prove very hea-
w. lie showed concluSively that the Re
publican party had always been the friend
Of the poor man, and OF humanity. Both
South Paris aud Norway bands were in !
attendance aud enliyened the occasion |
vi IN music at appropriate times. An en-
thuSiastic spirit was kiudled among the
people, ant much good must result from
the meeting. Prominent and Representa-
tive men were present from ali sections
of the County, and they report most en-
couragingly for the Republican party.

Retire the "biD0er man than
Ola Grant"

Mr.. EMERY said in his South Paris
speech that no good Republican lawyer
would question the soundness of Cover
or Plaisted's legal position in his contro-
versy with the Council and the Court. A
good Paris lawyer not only questions their
soundness but pertinently inquiries -
''What could the trainers of our Constitu-
ton have had in mind If Plaisted's views
are correct? They make it obligatory up
on the Court to give legal opinions, when
asked by either branch OF the Legislature,
or by the Governor or Council. What
object could they have have had in view if
the opinions rendered by the Court with
such great solemnity were to be of binding
force upon no one:"

The oxford Democrat says THE indie

into the field. Hon. Warren Vinton Of

the candidate for Governor We are

Slurs on political opponents. Mr. Vinton
had IL is 10 hc presumed, right to change
his name and did IL for reasons satisfac-
tory 10 himself Ii is his own alfIir. and
not properly the business OF the public
Press.
The Press commits 4 grave error In the
above. The Democrat did not slur Mr..
Vinton. II never Slurs opposition cand!-
dates Mr.. Vinton IS a Hue man great
statesman aud model reformer of the
modern type. When such man becomes
q candidate there are hosts of men In the
town OF his birth who wish 10 claim rela-
tlonship TO him, and for that reason we
called attention TO his chrstencd name,
that all those who have forgotten him,
since the change might step forward and
claim his hand.

GOVERNOR PLMSTED earned the titles Of
communist and demogogue, which he so
deprecated, by his Saturdays speech.
Among other things, he remarked that ne
man had right to own more than one
million dollars. He said no man can earn
more than that sum, the rest is stolen from
labor. Another less indulgcnt mlu might
set the individual ownership and power to
earn at SIC, 900, and demand that all above
that sum should be divided. Such limit
would touch both Plaisted and his re-
spected father-in-law, and so become OBJ
jectionable TO him. Yet there was 4
crowd OF oxford County men who applaud
ed this scheme to divide all estates valued
at over / 200. Geo, and most Of them were
men who are too lazy TO work all the
time At any price
