The notable feature Of the municipal cleo
tions in Maine this year, indeed the only no
ticeable thing about them, is the number of
votes cast by the Greenback men, the "Na-
tionalists" as they delight to call themselves
thinking that the new name dignifes their
creed. The Greenbackers made respectable
show, so far as numbers are concerned, in the
State election last fall. Since then they have
made wonderful progress. Like all malig-
nant growths which fasten upon the physical
body or the body polite the Greenback dis
ease has spread with great rapidity.


The doctrines of the new "Nationar' party
are taken up by men who do not take the
accept the broad statement that everything
new is good; or men who suffer because fin
dustrial and business depression and mistake
the cause of that depression for its cure. five
may judge from present appearances the Green
back delusion will have its run like the Know
Nothing excitement in 1854 or the anti-Mason-
icrage many years before. And, as in those ri
diculous outbursts of ignorance and bigotry,
all having to do with it will be heartily
ashamed when the excitement is over and
man will now acknowledge that he ever be-
longed to Kuow-Nothing lodge or was ever
engaged in the persecution of Masons, so in a
few years no man will acknowledge that he
was ever Greenbacker. No matter how loud
the accusing cocks may crow all the whilom
ssNationalists'' will aver that they always be-
lieved in the metallic basis of currency and
will Indignantly ask if you think they were
ever such fools as to have faith in ABSOLUTE
money.


But while these men are coming to their
reason great harm may be done will be
done unless the believers in the monetary
system accepted of all the world are willing
to work for their convictions. To reason
with the Greenbackers may now seem wasted
labor, for they do not appear to be amenable
to reason. Indeed they seem to flourish
where the best arguments against their delu-
sion have been made. The Lewiston Jour.
nal has made brave, judcious and unceas-
ing fight against the heresy, and yet the
Greenbackers hold the balance OF power to-
day in the cities of Auburn and Lewiston.
But the arguments of the Journal have not
been thrown away. They will have their
proper effect. Intelligent men-and most of
the 'sNationalists" are intelligent cannot
long be misled by the sophistry of the green
back orators. The immediate work to the
hands of believers in hard.money is to ex-
pose the fallacies and delusions of the green
back doctrine.

the official changes that have occurred
there has been marked appearance of pur-
pose to punish the friends Of General
