gether, coterie of sneak correspondents,
who never fail to appear with their COM
munications after each fresh sneak editorial,
TO assume that the liesinsinuated are truths,
and to insinuate some more of the same
kind. In the course of campaign this
flock of Anonymous, initiative sneaks settles
down in its columns several times, and it ia
evident that their piping is ffattering to the
editors conceit that his paper is an organ Of
political discussion. With regard to the re-
cent insinuations concerning Mr.. Reed it is
to be said that the statements which are
suggested, rather than asserted, and
upon the verify of which depend all the I'M
generous implications of the articles, both
editorial and communicated, are untrue, and
must have been known to the writers to be
untrue if they had known enough about the
subject TO justify them in saying anything.
But it is not the disposition of sneaks to
care whether they are right or wrong.

The Hon. Edmund Wilson'S remarks at
the Democratic State committee meeting
Friday night were far from satisfactory.
Some Of the national committee were in favor
ofmaking fight in Maine, he said, and some
were not. he was going to New York soon
and would see what could be done, but ap-
parently he was not very sanguine that he
would succeed in inducing the committee 70
roll any barrels into Maine. Remarks made
by other gentlemen also were not of rosy
hue. Several prominent Bangor Democrats
who had forked over literally in previous
campaigns. were reported good deal dis
gruntlsd for one cause or another and reluc-
tant to pool into the campaign fund. Some
Of the committee appeared to think that the
speeches of candidate Redman were not do
Ing the Democracy much good. Tabulator
Chase was no doubt one Of the members of
the committee who were of this mind. Some
weeks ago the Tabulator gave it as his opin-
ion that Redman was talking too much.

The Argus descends lower and lower as
the campaign thickens and its own despair
increases. Just now it is engaged in de-
flaming Mr.. Reed. 1t is not, as everybody
knows, brave and direct defamer, but
when 1t wants to smirch man it resorts to
the natural method of the constitutional
sneak. By long practice it has acquired the
whole science Of the sneak habit of thought
and expression. 1t knows how to insinuate
lie under the pretense OF an inquiry for ins
formation, ana how to mask libel behind a
conditional clause. The Argus has attract

which makes birds of feather flock to-

The Straight Greenbackers of this district
have concluded to call a convention to be
held In this city the twenty-seventh of Au-
gust to nominate a Greenback candidate for
Congress. The call is addressed to voters
Of the first Congressional district of Maine,
who desire harmony and concert of action
In efforts to make more effective Greenback
organization; who oppose the principles pro-
mulgated by capitalistic oligarchy through
corrupt political parties, known as the Re-
publican and the Democratic; who adhere
to and affirm the doctrines enunciated by
Jackson and confirmed by the Supreme
Court Of the United States that the Govern
nent has the power to establish and issue
money for the people; who will pledge them
selves to support Butler and West at the
polls In November next; and who will sup
port In convention such men only as are
willing to fight both old parties" A county
convention will be held on the same day and
at the same place.

The Boston Commercial Bulletin publishes
number of letters on the issues of the
campaign from prominent Democratic and
Republican leaders. Mr.. Kassou, Senator
Sherman, Congressman Long, Mr.. Jones,
chairman Of the National Republican COM
mittse, and Speaker Carlisle, all believe
that the tariff issue will force itself to the
froat before the campaign is over. Speaker
Carlisle says "the platforms of both parties
recognize it as an issue of great Importance,
and the letter of Mr.. Blaine makes it's dis
cussion an absolute necessity, unless the
revenue-refoTm Democracy propose to aban-
don their position and surrender the field to
the advocates of high taxes and wasteful ex-
psnditures." 1t is refreshing to find that
thsre 10 at least one leader in the Democrat
10 party who has the courage of his convic-
tons, and is indisposed to follow the cow
ardly conduct of the majority of his party in
running away from an issue of their own
raising.

The story that Blaine has made some sort
OF trade with Butler, by which the latter il
70 have seat in the Cabinet, is again re-
peated with additions. 1t is now asserted
that Mr.. Blaine's friends we're SO anxious to
advertise the trade that they requested Re-
publican paper in Washington to announce
that Butler was to be Secretary of State.
The more this story grows the more stupid
It becomes.

The Bangor Commercial says the reports
read at the meeting of the State Democratic
COMMITTEES the other night "were of the
most encouraging character, and in several
cities, notably Bath and Augusta, large
Democratic gains were promised over the
vote Of two years ago." Promise is one
thing, performance is another and very DIFF
ferent thing, as the Democratic State COM
mittee will fad out early in September.
