His election weuld subserve the interests of the people. De not overlook the interests of the people in the election of commissioner.

The "doomed knight” has well earned the distinction of being the “Continental liar."

“Biilee Owen.*in bis speech at this place insisted that Col. Gray was a member of<he Know Nothing Order. According to Col. Gray, “Biilee” is a “cowardly, infamous liar, and dirty sneak.”

A female member jt the Blaine Glee Club, in her insinid innocence, says Biilee Owen “is so sweet and tony.” Thats about the size of it. Biilee lacks brains but then he is “so sweet and tony.”

“Biilee Cwen,” in tragic attitude wanted to know, you Know,—“Where was Tom Hendricks during the war?” Now the people want to know if it is true that “Biilee,’ during the war wa 3 engaged In discounting County or, ders issued to the families of soldiers, his uncle being County treasuer.

Jn the evening B Hee Owen, a promising young aspirant for C( gressional honors—very ptomisii g; he promised everything, like Rol in Roughead in the play—he would have no widows, he would marry them all—no orphan children beoai BO he would father them all.

The Republican party, in 1856 swallowed up the Know-Nothing party. That year James Guano Blaine claims he was a member of the Republican Convention that nominated Fremont, and supported the nominee of the Convention. With that plea he proposes to satisfy the Deople that he was not a know-noth-ing previous to that period,- for Inin stance when editor of the Kenebec Journal, flying at its mast head the motto,“Place'none but Americanson Guard!"

The Democratic meeting, Tuesday was a grand success. But short notice was given, and vot in numbers it exceeded the Republican RALLY, of the day previous- Gen. Durbin Waul of Ohio, who served his country nobly n the union army addressed the people in the day time, at the Opera louse. His remarks were well timed and well leceived, and in sti iking contrast with the ideas expressed by l hat “sweet and tony” stay-at-home, Biilee Owen.

At night the Court House was a lit** eral jam- many being unable to enter. The remarks of Attorney-General Hold were patriotic, eloquent and scathing to the fullest extent. He was frequently and loudly applauded. Nothing occurred to mar the enthusiasm except the hissing of a few .green goslings which came near re*suiting in a lesson to them that might be productive of? good in flie futur-.

Editor Sentinel: At the risk of be# ing thought even unworthy of past courtesies, extended through your columns, I yet ask a little space to vindicatejthe action of your colemporary of the Republican organ in refusing to publish that little proposition for investigation. He doubtless was not at liberty to do so. My Republican brother, if you do not, you should know, that he canipublish such as our leading brethren think wou d be best lor our party, and of course they know that such investigation would let the blinded ones know. “This short way to Prohibition’* by a new constitution was simply a hum* Bug to catch temperance votes, because they knew first by the provis ions of the constitution itself the Legislature was powerless tudo more at first than to recommend to the people to call aconven'ion; second, that they would be powerless to carry a vote for such a recommend even if they wanted to, for th-y Knew they could not elect 19 out of 25 senators, which they would have *o control the senate (18 Democrats and 7 Republicans bolding over). Of the Democrats holding over some were pledged to submission of amendment, but none for the new constitution. Then of coarse all they would have to' say would be '‘The Democrats defeat it; just wait.” (I wonder why not one Re publican orator even makes allusion to that great necessity for a new constitute .?) And then if these things were not known it would hurt * our You may not realize that it requires a great deal of discretion to successfully carry out pretonded special friendship for two antagonistic parties or principles, And you know our great loader thinks the best way is to play mum, as he did on the vote for or against prohibition in his own state. Now you should remember that the position of such an editor is a very trying and delicate one, Therefore we should al] | exercise due charity.

D. T. Halstead.

Biilee Owen Is a oleigyman, true, without a charge, but then he should •tick to the truth. He went over the same rigmarole as those who preceded him. |He asserted. as others before him had done, the stale old lie about Mr. Buchanan's administration paying 12 per cent, interest on loans; spoke cf the prosperity existing all over the land, in the face of strikes, failures, and idle men everywh- reThe fact is. Biilee is only sweet and tony,” as a prospective Congressman.

Hundreds of o’.d neighbors and citizens of his former and present place of residence, irrespective of party affiliations have signed a statement and furnished affidavits that Col. I. P. Cray was not at any time a member of what was known as the know-nothing order. Col. Gray backs this witn a positive denial of the charge, and designates any man that circulates the story as a “Cowardly, infamous iiar, and dirty sneak!” That hits Gentle George slap in the face, and stlcKß there.
