WHY rmEY suPraRr nLlISE.

The Worchester Spy has struck that
happy rallying cry which is intended
to bring all boiling republicans lack to
the party fold and the support of Blaine.
Here is what it says: "Eyery Post
Office in this state viii be in the hands
of the Democrats next summer If we
faltsr now" There IL is, in refreshing
candor. There Is nothing in the char
acter and moral worth of the republican
candidates, nor in the platform Of the
party, which the Spy can uae as the
basis Of an appeal to dissatisfied republi-
cans to induce them TO return TO their
party allegiance. So 1t falls back to
tho Flannigan theory aud hangs it's on
ly hope for the success of Blaine upon
the spoils of office. Tho Spy seems to
be groveling in oimmerian darkness, as
the Very ground upon which so many
Intelligent and self-respecting republic
cans are boiling Blaine's nominatior
il this lack of anything TO recommend
hin TO the voters Of the party otheI
than the hope of the spoils Of office
The Spy unwittingly adds weakness t'
weakness aud gives its whole case away
by thus publicly acknowledging that The
spoils Of Office is the strength Of its case
We are free to say that If that shall be
the only iudnccment which Democrats
have to offer to the voters Of tho coun'
try to enlist their support, then VI
shall have no interes: in the election o

for then we would not feel 30 directly
responsible for the nisfortuns thu
brought upon the country.

Writing OF the lumber interests, the

order awaits the mills, and when the
few vessels at present in port are out
OF the way there will be no more to
come, as far as now appears. Money
is very scsrce in California. and no
more lumber Is being used than can
be helped. The outl0ok is so bad, In
fact, that the mills belonging to the
association have agreed 10 run only
half the tine duriap the next two
months. They will each o1ly ren
three,-quarter time, and besides will
each shut down one whole week IN

amount of work, but as there Is no
call for 1t, the work will be only part.

As you call for items, perhaps few
words from this rosy nook OF the
world may not be amiss, though 10
be sure, the enly calamity with which
we have lately been visited was some
ominious hand shakings and dismal

pauiment OF disaster, for which dou-

/ wish to say for this section OF coun.
try, that We have never yet been Wis
tied with the slightest approach to
failure OF crops, which fact, taken to-
gether with our comparative exemp-
tion from the neat, dust and noise of
more accessible localities, goes far to-
ward reconcillng US to our isolated
situation.

fsriatle residences.
Messrs. Conser and Matten are now

twenty well natured seed pods, each
pod containing from twelve to twen-

nLAaxEs w.E RECORD

Much has been said BY our republic
eau friends in praise of Logan on Gc-
count of bis war record, bat we observe
that an ominious silence has been main
tanned with reference To Mr.. Blaina's.
For the information Of those who desire
to know Mr.. Blaine. record We give
an extract of speech made recently by
E. +. Pillsbury before the Bay State
Cluo in Boston. Mr.. Plllsbury is "a
neighbor of Blaine's and may be relied
upon to know what be says. He says:
What Is bis war record that sno,Jd
entitle him to the cooidence OF tie peo-
pie, although be ~as foremost in the
proceedings that led to the war? lie was
the first to be drafted in bis district.
But prior to that an organization had
been effected in Augusta TO protect men
against the draft, each member paying
S25 to the fund to hire "a substitute il
drafted
Mr.. Blaine out of that fund hired
a substitute named Bradford. A soft
place was found for the man to remain
at post in Augusta instead Of going to
the front. After while he was detec-
ted in selling for money certain certifi.
Gates, aud he was kept in Jail until the
close of the war. That constituted Mr..
Blainc's service in the field.
After the war closed the men who
had been drawn claimed that tho towns
and cities should pay the expenses they
had been put TO, aud Augusta generous.
ly voted to pay these men the money
they had paid for substitutes, and Mr..
Blaine got his bond for $500. But that
is not the end. Afterward a resolution
was put before the common council Of
Augusta to pay Mr.. Blaine 5000, the
amount he had paid for substitute, aud
it was voted and passed, and be was
paid. That you can rely on as being
the true story.
