Ben. Bunker Picks Bone With the Argus.

The Argus wants some one to sew up the mouth
of L. NJ Staples of Knox county. That is what
the Democratic party of Maine wanted of the Ar
gus editor less than year ago, when it opened its
columns to attacks on the Chairman of the State
committee, by Dave Hastings and his wrecking
crew The Argus has the satisfaction of knowing
that advice of a smOthering nature would be simply
wasted on that paper it never having been alleged
that the Argus made any effort to cOurageously
stand for the organization against the assaults of
traitors and bummers. Fairfield Journal

The New York Tribune undoubtedly voices
public sentiment when it couples with regret
at the illness of Secretary Manning the hope
that he may be able to resume his duties as the
head of the Treasury Department. Mr.. Man
ming has been by far the most practical and
useful member of the Cabinet, and his efforts in
behalf of a sound currency have commended
him to business men. He had fully mastered
the duties of his position, but unfortunately
the severe tasks he thus imposed upon himself
have resulted in his present serious illness.
That he may speedily and fully recover will be
the wish of every one, wish in which his
political opponents most heartily join.
