Staee Politics.

AT the Republican caucus in Bangor on
Thursday evening the following gentlemen
were nominated for Representatives to the
Legislature: Joab w. Palmer, Gen. Daniel
White and Col. James Dunning.
Andrew j. Hatch, Esq, of Alton, has been
nominated for Representative by the Republic
cans OF the district OF -Corinth, Hudson, Ken
duskeag and Alton. -..s.s ftF
Elijah Wyman, Esq, has been nominated
by the Republicans of Newport, Plymouth and
Stetson. ssfaH -gF9# M@#FF

The Biddeford Union says that Wednesday
evening, as the Saco delegation who had been
taking part in the grand Republican demon
stration, were returning to the Western depot
in Portland, one of Charles Shaw's fellows
threw some sort of missile at the procession.
which struck Clarence Hobson, son of Gen.
Hobson of Saco, and inflicted two sever wounds
on his forehead, cutting the flesh to the bone,
and knocking him down.
Voters should not forget that they are to
vote Monday on the question of the assumption
Of the municipal war debts. The constitution
al amendment provides that the State may nav
to towns $100 for every man enlisted for three
years service, and for less term of service
corresponding sum. ....
Henry NJ. Bowdell, Of Scion, has been nomi-
mated By the Republicans of that town to rep
resent them in the Legislature Levi Fl. Fol-
som is the nominee for Skowhegan and Cana
an, Ansel Holway for Bingham, and W. w.
Lucas, of Guilford, for the Foxcroft district.
The Democratic papers feel SO sure that they
will suffer defeat in this State that they al
ready begin to claim that gains must be esti-
mated from the vote of 1861 No, no, we can't
allow you to crawl out of that small hole! If
the Republican majority is II ,343, one more than
last year at the same kind OF an election, you
are beaten. The majority will no doubt be
considerably larger, and all over that figure
will be gain.
The Republicans of Bath have nominated
Hon. Washington Gilbert and Capt Guy C.
Goss for Representatives to the legislature In
Brunswick the Republican nominee is Hon.
Marshal Cram. ada f.e.-a-5 s-... ~. B
Four thousand Republican voters staid away
from the polls IN Vermont, though the Repub-
lican victory was sufficiently decisive without
them. In Maine we can spare the same num-
Der and still beat the II ,342 majority of last
year by many thousands IF however xua oon
reduce the absentees to hundreds our major
ity will be so large as to make the result in ut
ter despair to the Democracy of all the States

BASE BALL CHAMPIONSHIP Game Forfeited.
Yesterday afternoon the weather was fine
and the Eons went to their grounds hoping to
meet the Bowdoins and play their third game
for the State championship, but they were dis
appointed as the Brunswick boys did not ap.
pear on the field, but forfeited their chance for
the silver ball. We don't know whether they
were timid about meeting. the Eons, or wheth-
er they were not prepared; if the latter case
was their excuse, why did they challenge? A
club is always supposed to be ready when they
challenge for the championship. In order to
satisfy the spectators present, the Eons played
against field nine, and at the close of the
sixth inning the score stood 20 to 9 in their
favor, but there was more skylarking than real
earnest playing on both Sides .F
To-day we think we can promise our readers
smart game, and one that will be worthy Of
a visit to the grounds. The Androscoggin
Club of Lewiston probably ranks among the
very strongest we have, and as they have never
played in the city much interest is manifested
to see the game. We have no doubt but that
the Eons will do their duty. Playing will
commence at 1.3O o'clock, so that full game
may be enjoyed Seats will be reserved for the
ladies.

The champion scullin. ,ra,cb. .

The champion seulling match between Wal
ter Brown of Portland, Me-, and Henry Coul-
ter Of Allegheny, on Wednesday, at Glenwood
on the Monongahela river, near Pittsburg, is
described by the World reporter to have come
off amid great excitement. Coulter was the
favorite before the start-90 to 75 The con-
testants had arrived at the starting point and
were waiting the signal to 60, when the re-
porter says:
"They pressed their yellow blades and rvet-
ed their eyes ON Thomas, the referee, who was
10 give the signal for start. One could see
while they were in this position their muscular
arms fairly CULVER with excitement The stems
of the crafts were even and the words Ready
Co. were uttered at thirteen minutes to SIX
o'clock. Instantly four blades flashed and two
tiny boats shot like arrows down the stream,
ceaving the waters white in minute. Their
occupants seemed like dim shadows to those
perched at the starting point. The dead still.
ness OF the immense gathering was broken
now by frantic cries of encouragement, which
swelled in volume until the men were full a
quarter of a mile from where they started. =
The long, clear-cut strokes of Brown told mo-
mentafiiy on the more rapid yet not less DOW
erful swing OF his adversary, and ere4uv ir,sr,-
dred yards of water were skinned fuli beat
length separated them, while the partiSans of
the POrtlander were fairly beside themselves
with joy. Down the stream the fral banks
fairly flew, and the men seemed to throw the
whole energy and power of their composition
into the exciting struggle. Their cleaning
blades went in and out of the water with the
precision of piece of machinery, and swent
the crafts along at steamboat speed. Opposite
the Poor House, Brown was fully five jenoths
in advance, steering skilliully, while Conjrer
is toling Inanfully in the rear, encouraged Nv
cries from the crew of his guide-boa When
the stake-boat was reached, Brown had still
further increased his lead, and was in the van
over two hundred yards, and after rounding
gathered himself up and shot at rand Iate
homeward. This urged additional exerlion on
the part of Coulter, and he threw his whole
soul into the yellow spruce he clutched in his
hands, but it was useless, for his opponent. II
was evident, was outstanding his strength
while yet receding from his view. They are
seen coming now by those on the hill-tops' and
finally it was made sure that Walter Brown
was ahead, and the news soon reached those
not so eliglibly situated. 1t was fine To s.,e
them rowing as they approached the goal. their
boats leaping at every stroke, and theiI mace
even faster than-when they started The boats
approach, and Brown is found to be a lone wav
ahead. Then handkerchiefs f1utter and hats
are thown up as he passes over the imaginarv
line, the winner of the stakes and of the titie
of championship of AmeIica. aF9
The referee called the winners time AZ % Q
and said it was wonderful, pocketipg his watch
with the remark that such a race he had never
witnessed before. Coulter came in rowinsf a
sturdy stroke, one minute and eight seconds
behind the winner"

Perrin ia Yarmouth.

YARMOUTH, Sepl. 10, 1868.
To the Editor Of the Press:
The Hon. Mr.. Perrin has just closed an eve
ning's entertainment at the old Congregational
Church ostensibly for the benefit of the De-
mOcracy, and think speak truly when 1 say
that the people of Yarmouth have not been so
much amused since the Swiss Bell Ringers
we're here last winter. Perrin is far ahead of
them though. They had about thirty bells
while he had only three, viz: Niger, Recon
struction and Bondholder; and he rang more
changes on his three bells than they on their
thirty.
But can't say he didn't strike false note
now and Internationally of course-making
the niger bell sound as if all the freedmen
were voting the Democratic ticket-the recon-
structiOn bell as if the radical Congress were
keeping eleven of the Southern States out of
the Union against their wills-poor little dears
and the bondholder bell gave the lie direct TO
that Democratic saint H. Seymour, Esq, who
testified that large amounts of government
bonds were held by poor people.

DEMOCRATIC DEMoNsTRATIoN.-The Demo-
Gratis of this city made one of their demonstra-
tiOns last evening. Notwithstanding the oblo-
guy they had poured out upon the "Lobster
Brigade" as they styled the Artillery of Ward
One, and their sneers upon the use of kerosene,
yet they were compelled to use the same ma
terial. v s-
Collecting in Market Square under the beau.
tilul music of the Portland Band, they marched
to City Hall, which was soon filed with the
crowd of children, women and men, whe re
they were addressed by Sunset Cox, of Ohio,
and Mr.. Meaney. of New York. The speech of
Mr. Cox did not raise much enthusiasm, and
he, evidently, felt it, by his faltcring. Mr..
Meaney, being an Irishman, brought down the
crowd, which was largely composed OF the Erin
element. The arguments of both speakers
were the same as have before been presented to
the public by these gentlemen, and many 9th
ers and which have become rather stale. Not
a convert was made by their arguments, and
their labor was in vain. After the meeting at
the Hall struggling procession was formed
and marched to the Falmouth Hotel, where
brief speeches were made by the inevitable Mr..
Cox and the robust Meaney. Gen. Anderson
was loudly called for and responded, this being
his first appearance during the campaign.
Gen. Anderson appears to be very popular. He
is good speaker to begin with and there is no
sort Of doubt which side he was on during the
war.
The demonstration of last evening was tanner
than those previously held by the Democracy
this season, though large number of children,
women and men were present.
