Mr., Blaine Against the Know
NOthingS
Z Bangor Whig and Courier.

DdHROE w ing anu COui ltA-
1t is marked tribute to the correctness
and value Of Mr.. Blaine's public record that
in order to assail him at all it is necessary
for his foes to travel back thirty years, long
before he entered the public service. and
even then to envoke falsehood in their be-
half Conspicuous in their efforts to mis-
represent his attitude toward the Know
Nothing party in 1854 have been the New
York Herald and Boston Globe. But as
usual with attacks upon him, they succeed
only in provoking testimony in his favor so
emphatic that less mendaciOus assailants
would forever keep silence from shame at
their repeated amentable failures.
The letter of the Hon. John l.. Stevens
elsewhere printed, ought to set this matter at
rest. Mr.. Stevens was intimately associated
with Mr.. Blaine, and knows his history
we'll. And his statement is fully cOrroborat-
ed by the records Mr.. Blaine was not
connected with the public press and had
taken no active part in politics when some of
the events with which the traducers try to
connect him TRANSFERRED II was well known
by all men then active in affairs that he was
outspoken in hostility to the spirit of Know
nOthlnglsm, ana no man among tne many lnen
living, who were politically hostile to him then
as now. has risen up OF will rise up to de-
clare otherwise of him 1t is as clearly estab-
lished as anything in history can be that Mr.
Blame cXerted his influence as far as possible
to discourage Know Nothing ideas and the
Know Nothing organization, and the frantic
efforts of Cleveland organs will not succeed
in pervertng his manly record upon this as
upon all other subjects.
Not merely is the inherent strength of Mr..
Blaine's public record more firmly established
bv these wild and fruitess assaults. They
mean more than the usual outbursts of an at
lacking party before an impregnabe defence,
They expose the clear necessity of a binding
dust to prevent their own army breaking their
old ties and helping to swell the tide which is
setting irresistibly against the British free
trade policy and towards the American policy
which Mr.. Blaine better represents than any
other man living. The democratic managers
know that nothing but the boldest misrepre-
sentation can hold the Irish American vote
from Mr. Blaine and preserve a British party
in American politics; and the more they
struggle against the tide. the deeper will they
be whelmed by the tide which is to preserve
the United States as a truly American Nation

Butler will divide the republican party IL
certain northern States, but the wish Ii
father to the thought, or they dislike tt
acknowledge so early in the canvass thai
they are beaten and so assert what they
do not believe. Where are the republi.
cans in Maine that will vote for Butter
None such can be found. In Massachu
sets it is the same with but few excep-
tons. His followers there are demo
Gratis; also in New York and every
other State. Tammany will follow
the banner Of Butler. This will divide
the democratic party of the Empire State
which the democrats regard as the pivot
on which the election hangs, so that
Cleveland will get only feeble faction in
his own State.
-Four years ago the democracy were
thoroughly united, but Hancock was badly
beaten and Garfield was triumphantly
elected. Blaine is as strong with the peo-
pie to-day as Garfield was when he was a
candidate for President; and if Garfield
could beat the united democracy then.
Blaine can now easily defeat the dismem-
bered democracy and its two candidates,
Cleveland and Butler.
This encouraging state of affairs, as far
as republicans are concerned, should not,
however, lead any to cease their efforts
for Blaine and Logan. 1t should rather
stimulate them to work the more diligent-
ly because they are assured that success
is certain Men can work better when the
prospect is favorable. But over-confi-
dence oftentimes ruins parties as well
as individuals, lulls them to sleep, and
the enemy steals march upon them while
they are slumbering and snatches from
them the victory that was almost within
their grasp

bill was reported favorably to provide
for the disposal of abandoned and use-
less military reservations. Mr.. Morrill,,
from the Committee on Finance, report
ed adversely the bill authorizing the
payment Of customs duty in legal tender
notes, but asked that, in Difference to
the wishes of another Senator, it be
place ed on the calendar. 1t was so plac-
ed. He also reported adversely the bill
providing for the retirement of small
legal.tender notes. After the passage Of
several private bills, the bill providing
for the construction of steel cruisers for
the navy was made the special order for
Monday next, at 2 o'clock. The Cur
rency bill was then discussed by Messrs.
