Concernlng unfaIrness.

The Republican papers of this State that
are laboring to make the Hon. f. G. Bur-
leigh the Republican candidate for Governor
are all chorusing their disapproval of what
one Of them is pleased to call the unfair
ness of the PRESS towards their candidate.
There is passage Of Scripture which enjoins
upon people who are searching for notes in
other peoples eyes to first cast out the beam
from their own eyes. We recommend this
passage to the attention of Mr.. Burleigh's
organs. The first act of unfairness, and the
gr0ssest in this canvass, was committed by
Burleigh organ. 1t consisted in the publica-
ton over an anonymous signature of an in
situation that Mr.. Cleaves, if elected would
neglect to enforce one of the laws of the
State. IL there has been anything published
in the Portland PRESS or any other news
paper which is supporting Mr.. Cleayes, APP
preaching even remotely the unfairness
NOT to call it indecency-of this perform
ance, we shall be greatly obliged if some of
Mr.. Burleigh's organs will point it out.
Essentially the charge was that Mr. Cleaves
was so dishonorable and Enthusiastically a
person that If elected Governor he could not
be relied upon to be true to his oath of Office
But the unfairness did not stop here. The
organ that had given currency to the insinu-
tions of that anonymous letter refused to
publish letter of correction signed by the
authors name. If Cleaves organ or Mar
BILE organ has been guilty of performance
like that it has escaped our observation. Has
any Burleigh organ rebuked this piece of IN
fairness2 No, not one.
Now concerning the treatment OF Mr. Bur
leigh and his canvass by the PRESS we have

for the purpose of nominating candidate for
Governor, to be supported at the September cleo
ton, and transacting any other business that may
properly come before It,
The basis Of representation will be as follows:
Each city, town and plantation will be entitled to
one delegate, and for each seventy-fye votes cast
for the Republican candidate for governor in 1884
additional delegate, and for fraction Of forty
votes in excess Of seventy-fve votes, further

The State committee viii be In session in the
reception room of the hall at 8 O'Clock on the
morning of the convention. for the purpose of re-
eeiving the credentials of delegates.
All electors of Maine, without regard to past
political differences who believe in protecting the
Industries of this State and its agricultural pro-
ducts; who believe In protecting the laborer and
the wage-earner in every right; who believe ''in
choosing policy which inspires labor with hope
and cFosDs 1t with dignity, which gives safety TO
capital and protests its increase, which secures
political power to every comfort and cul-
ture to every home" giving free popular education

honest counting of ballots; who approve the pro
hlbition of the liquor traffic and the promotion of

this to say. The PRESS has invariably rec
ognized Mr. Burleigh's ability and integrity.
1t has INDUCED in no insipuations against
either. 1t has admitted that he was amply
qualified to fill the office of Governor. But
it has criticised the methods of some of his
supporters and the arguments they are
bringing to bear to make him the Republican
candidate. 1t has questioned too the propri
ETY. of State Treasurer's running for the
gubernatorial office before his own term of
Office expires, and pointed out some of the
embarrassments thatit will lead to. We have
thought the locality argument was being
pressed beyond what was legitimate and
have furnished bill of particulars 1t has
struck us that booming" man as the can
didate of the East because he owned
house in Bangor and at the same time insist
ing that Augusta which is in the central
part of the State must send delegation
pledged to him because there is his home. or
his official home, was not quite an ingenious
performance. 1t has appeared to us also
that nominating the State Treasurer for
Governor might set precedent, which the
Republican party would in the future regret
Ifthese things are not proper subjects of COM
ment then nothing can be, and it must follow
that the only proper course for Republican
paper to pursue in gubernatorial canvass
is TO close its eyes, and neither see itself nor
permit its readers to see what is going on.

and respectful questions we have put to it,

A STRONG POINT AGAINST BURLEIGH.
TBridgton News

The Portland Press, in a strong editorial
urges the improperly of promoting the
State Treasurer to the gubernatorial Office
and allowing him to enter upon the duties Of
the office several months before his accounts
as State Treasurer are finally settled. The
Press thinks the situation would be anala-
gous to that of town treasurer or collector
being elected selectman or assessor of a
town, and as selectman settling the accounts
with himself as treasurer, a possible com.
plication which is expressly forbidden by
the statutes Of the State. This is very
strong point against Mr.. Burleigh's candi-
dacy this wear

The Democratic State convention in Yer

orders was permissible to officeholders But

civil service reform notions, if he ever had

The huge gun now being removed from the
works at South Boston to the testing station
at Sandy Hook is one of the m ,dern pieces
of ordnance which the government is gradu-
ally getting at great expense and by long
labor. 1t is 53-ton rified canon. of Pinch
bore. 1t was begun so Ion. ago as the
Arthur administration, having been cast in
October, 1884, previous to Cleveland's cleo
ton. The first of the serie, of heavy,
breech-loading rifles was cast and completed
In 1875. The second was completed in 1877,
and weighed $1,000 pounds. 1t threw a pro-
jectile weighing 25G pounds six miles, In
1882 40-ton breech-loader was completed
and since 1877 the works at South Boston
have turned nearly one hundred old fash
Toned smooth-bore cannon into rifles. The
recent casting Of large steele gun in Penn
sylvania made another important addition
to our national stock Of ordnance. Though
the defences of the United States amount to
nothing, 1t is gratifying to know that work
is continually going ON to make them better.

MISCELLANEOUS.
The First Sign

OF failing health, whether in the form Of
Night Sweats and Nervousness, or in .
sense of General WEAKNESS and Loss OF
Appetite, should suggest the use Of
Ayers Sarsaparilla. This preparation
is most effective for giving tone and
strength to the enfeebled system, pro-
noting the digestion and assimilation Of
food, restoring the nervous forces to
their normal condition, and for purify
ing, enriching, and vitaEzing the blood.
Failing Health.
Ten years ago my, health began to fail.
I was troubled with distressing Cough,
Night Sweats, Weakness, and Nervous
ness. 1. tried various remedies pre-
scribed by different physicians, but
became SO weak that I could not go up
stairs without stopping to rest. Ny
friends recommended me to try Ayers
Sarsaparilla, which I did, and am now
as healthy and strong as ever. Mrs.
e. L. Williams, Alexandria, MINI.
have used Ayers Sarsaparilla, in my
family, for ScrOfula, and know, if it il
taken faithfully, that it will thoroughly
eradicate this terrible disease. have
also prescribed it as a tonic, as well as an
and must say that / honestly
believe it to be the best blood medicine
ever cOmpounded.-W. F. Fowler, NJ. D.,

Dyspepsia Cured.

It would be impossible for me to de-
scribe what suffered from Indigestion
and Headache up to the time began
taking Ayers Sarsaparilla. Twas under
the care of various physicians, and tried
a great many kinds of medicines, but
never obtained more than temporary re-
lief. After taking Ayers Sarsaparilla
for short time, my headache disap-
peared, and my stomach performed its
duties more perfectly. To-day my
health is completely restored. = Mary
Harley, Springfield, Mass. i,
I have been greatly benefited by the
prompt use of Ayers Sarsaparilla. It
tones and invigorates the system, regu-
lates the action of the digestive and
assimilative organs, and vitalizes the
blood. 1t is, without doubt, the most
reliable blood purifier yet discovered.
