A Popular Leader Forgotten.

The Demosthenes of the Chartist
movement, which agitated England fifty
years ago, was Henry Vincent. Thou
sands of E~nglishmen listened in breath
less sympathy, when in burning words
he demanded universal suffrage and the
ballot. Crowds surged around him
wherever he spoke. So great wa his
influence that the government, looking
upon him as q dangerous character,
thrust him into prison. The severity of
his treatment produced an outbreak.
Hundreds OF workingmen gathered to
release the peoples hero. They were
repulsed by soldiers and armed police
men, after a conflict in which ten work.
men were killed and fifty wounded.
Thirty years after this popular demon
stration, there was a riot in London. A
great crowd, exasperated at not being
permitted to hold a public meeting in
Hyde Park, broke down the park rail-
ings. A mass meeting was held in Ira
falgar Square to denounce the action of
the authorities. Suddenly there APP
peared on the pedestal hat supports
Landseer's lions a portly man, with a
fine head and white hair. Silence hay
ing been attained, he exclaimed at the
top of his voice: Gentlemen, I think
it right to tell you that I am Henry Vim
cent" The once famous orator paused
and-nobody cheered. The Demos
themes of the Chartists was a forgotten
man. Such is popularity.

1t suits the New Age, because the PRESS
has said something which it knows does mo-
agree with Governor Robes views, to repre-
sent that the PRESS is the Governors Cor
gam and that the Governor is false to him
self. Within the past few months the Dem
ocratic papers have spoken of the PRESS a,
the "organ" of Mr.. Blaine, Senator Frye,
Senator Hale, Mr.. Reed, Mr.. Libby, Mayor
King, Collector Dow, the Prohibitionists,
the rumsellers, the Republicans, the indie
pendents, and we know not whom or what
else. Now if these statements are all true
we venture to say that each of these persons
and parties is now and then of opinion that
his organ is wretchedly out of tune. We
have sometimes thought that certain Demo-
cratic newspapers did what only Satan could
have inspired but we have considered it a
point of etiquette to presume that they are
edited by their editors.

The Republican Mass Meeting at Sebago
Lake yesterday afternoon was a rousing one.
The day, although warm, was bright, and
an audience of 5000 or more from all the
towns about gathered to hear the speakers.
The speeches were by Congressman Reed,
Hiscock and Long, and each was successful
in holding the attention and awakening the
enthusiasm of the great audience in an ex-
traordinary degree. To-day there will be
the finest demonstration of the campaign
at Lewiston, and the torchlght parade in
the evening will be worth going far to see.
Saturday Evening Hon. A. Lowden Snowdon
OF Philadelphia, will address the Republicans

bly, superfuous to warn anyone against what
it may be expected to put forth in the clos.
ing days of the campaign. We have ex-
posed so thoroughly the rottenDess of the
straw upon which the readers of the Demo-
cratic organ of this part of the State are fed
that little attention is likely 90 be paid to
any new invoice of falsehood aud scurllity it
may proffer in these last days. Ii has shown
capacity for any meanness, and the sneaks

community so late that there will be no OBJ
portunity to contradict it, We have not
thought it worth while to deny every false
hood and scandal of the multitude with
which the opposition organ has been flood
ed. Some of them, for example the insinu-
alton that Mr.. Reed has grown rich in pub
lie life and possesses more wealth than a
man of his occupations could accumulate
legitimately, are such transparent roorbacks
that 1t is waste of labor to answer them.
They please their inventors, deceive nobody

trate the temper of Individual malignity.

We understand that there is being circu-
lated among the Greebackers in the back
towns letter from Judge Cleaves TO John
M. Todd in which the former avows himself
in full sympathy with Greenbackers in all
their currency doctrines. Judge Cleaves's
conversion to Greenback doctrines is of very
recent origin. A few years ago when the
Greenbacsers and Democrats hitched up to-
ge' her in this county, and the celebrated let
ter signed by Portland Democrats endorsing
the Greenback doctrine was published in
the Argus, Judge Cleavss's name was con.
spicuous by its absence. 1t was mentioned
then that he was the hardest kind of hard
money Democrat, but the exigencies of the
campaign he is now making have good deal
softened his currency views. We under
stand that this letter to John Todd is only
to be shown privately 10 Greenbackers who
are troubled in regard to the Judges curren-
cy sentiments. This precaution is taken.

The sudden death of Hon. Charles ]. Fol-
ger, Secretary of the Treasury, at his home
in Geneva, N. Y, yesterday, will cause pro
found regret. Judge Folger was a gentle
man of uncommon ability, and until he left
the bench of the Supreme Court of New
York to take the position of Secretary of the
Treasury in President Arthur's cabinet his
career had been singularly successful and
popular. The unfortunate circumstances
attending his nomination as the Republican
candidate for Governor of New York, which
secured his defeat, although none questioned
his ability or his integrity, were peculiarly
notifying. He has not been in good health
from that time, but has struggled bravely to
perform the duties of his office and acouit-
ted himself honorably. As Judge be had
areputation among the highest, and there
is every reason to think that under more
propitious circumstances he would have
made great mark as politician and States
man.
