Just As TRUE TO-DAY.

The principal objection to electing
Col. Pingree governor-and perhaps
the only one-is the danger of estab-
fishing a precedent of taking the
governor from the lieutenant's chair.
Such a precedent once established
will have to be broken by the people
or all spontaneity and enthusiasm
for the nomination of governor will
be destroyed and the principal
thought and care will be centered
upon the nomination of lieutenant
governor And this paragraph must
not be considered as any reflection
upon our present worthy lieutenant
governor or any lieutenant who has
heretofore succeeded to the governor
ship.
The above editorial appeared in the
CaIedonian in its issue of May Is,
1884, and is reprinted at this time
because it applies so well 10 an unde
sirable feature in the present contest.
a governor should be chosen by the
people and not by promotion. This
is an additional reason why we sup

An OMINOUS SILENCE.

The long-continued silence of Sena-
tor Matthew S Quay of Pennsyl-
vania to the astounding charges of
corruption made by the New York
World, substantiated by the New
York Evening Post, and brought
before the House of Representatives
by General SpinOla of New York city,
IS certainly very remarkable. The
Indictment covers bribery and theft,
years, the gravest charge being that
Senator Quay took $26O,OOO from
the state treasury of Pennsylvania,
which he lost III speculation. AS he
was not state treasurer al the time
this is virtually a charge that he
stole that amount. Mr.. Quay as
chairman of the republican national
committee occupies position of eX-
traordinary power and responsibility
in that party which is daily receiving
injuries from his silence Both Pres
ident Harrison and Secretary Blaine
are much worried over the matter
and desire an explanation. Let Sen
ator Quay. at least give his friends
the privilege of hearing from him a
denial of the truth of the charges
Contemptuous silence in such case
is ominous, and will be taken by or
dinarily honest men as a confession
OF guilt
