The Republican journal., 1882-07-13

was counted in by the Democratic
managers, by gross outrages upon the
ballot box and the right Of every man to
vote once and have his vote fairly count
Democrats of the South perpetrated these
frauds, but the party has been placed on
record in Congress i'll defence Of them
The hypocritical championship of honest
elections 10y the Bourbon leaders in Maine
is thus placed in its true light before the
people.
We hear a good deal from Fusion eN-
changes Of the great, able, powerful and
brilliant speeches of Congressman Murch
True, they were never delivered in the
House but no doubt, like Congressman
Ladd's speech on the Geneva award bill,
printed after the bill had passed, and
while Mr. Ladd was at bis home in Ban
gor, they have excited a powerful Sin
tiuencc.' The similarity OF Congressman
Murch's printed speeches to the prior
utterances of others, however, renders
them doubtful standards for estimating
lis cloquence. But the other day he ac-
tuaiIy made some remarks in the House
from which we take the following choice
quotations
There is an old adHge that there is more than
one way to skin a cat: and propose to take the
other way.
Mr.. Murch also said
Mr.. Chairman, here is where the niggcr in the
wood-pile lies.
he passed away before Congressman
Murch came upon the scene of action
The originality, the brilllancy and the
eloquence of these citations, these gems
of thought, from our distinguished mis-
Representative, would have caused the
great orator to sicken with envy or from
some other cause.

City Item.
The Item does injustice to the Jour
nails understanding. The journal not
only understands why the Democrats
and Grecnbackers are for "anything to
beat the Republicans" but Why they viii
not succeed III doing SO. TO be brief,
neither their principles, their policy, or
their past record entities them to the
confidence or support of the people
There was a tilt in the House on Fri
day between congressman Butterworth
Of Ohio and Cox Of New York, in which
some accounts say indecent language NaS
used. The Boston Herald correspondent
says the language was not indecent,
while Perley Of the Boston Journal says
that it was. The Herald correspondent is,
however, young and unsophisticated, and
if Perley says the expressions were in
decent We are inclined to think they
must have been very bad indeed.

Dr. II. Reynolds writes to the New
England Farmer that -''1he time is
probably not far distant when the Color
ado beetles will be brought into subjec-
ton by parasites or other insect enemies,
and will then cease to seriously annoy
the farmer" This prediction has already
been verified as noted in our local columns
last week. Success to the bug which
preys upon the potato bug.
The editor of the Portland City Item,
writing from Bangor, gives an interview
with appointment Republican" who said 4:
"We count on heavy loss to Murch Won

'Well. he's running for the third time

Oates 4 Better is the name of a Mo-
bile, Ala, grain and produce commission

never tries.
