Nir.tulouls Indignation.

The Lewiston journal. with one or

fact that other Republican papers have
the boldness to talk in meeting" and
to tell the people all about the schemes
that have been concocted 10 effect GER

the best guardians of the rights of the
masses and OF the Republican party are
those journals who speak plainly against
all bargains and all schemes to monld
the political future OF this state. in the
interest OF any one man, or set OF men.

So if "A combination has been formed in

political advantage. regardless of the
interests OF the party or OF the country.
it is the duty of the Republican press
to warn the members of the party OF it,
and not to cease doing SO until the com
bination has been broken.
There can be no doubt of this. and
the only thing to guard against is. not
to let such opposition degenerate into
mere personalities, nor be the ofshoot
of disappointed ambition. We have
noticed nothing of this, as yet.

Capt. ThOmls Hill of West Goulds-

men in the state of his age.
Capt. Hill has outlived his wife and
child, but is still active and useful. He
is in his s9th year; and to day he walks
as erect, and apparently as spry, and
with AS much vigor, as men who are but
fifty years old. For years, lac has work
ed shoe-making, and even now, devotcs
the most OF his time to manufacturing
and repairing boots and shoes.
A few days ago he made for himself a
pair of cali boots, and good judges pro-
nouuced the work and style No. l.
Last fall, he went to Boston in sail
vessel, and spent some time with his
friends. In about two weeks he intends
to take another "trip to the Club" in
coaster.
Capt. Hill is strictly temperate. and
has always been very moral. upright,

party, and is deeply interested in nation
al matters. He is always present Oh
election day, and generally goes on foot

EDUCATION.
Educational Convention.

One ofthe ways to increase the interest
ofthe people in our Free Public Schools
Is to hold discussions and meetings in
every village. The want Of popular
attention to the value Of good Schools
is at the bottom Of the present defects
and failures Good teaching comes
from greater determination on the
part of the parents to furnish proper
means and methods. In view Of the
unskilled teaching the state has estab-
lished two Normal Schools and proyid-
ell for Annual Teachers Institutes in
all the Counties. These great agencies
and promoters OF good Instruction are
returning manifold to the people more
than they cost.
Now we wish to supplement these In
stitutes and Normal or Training Schools
with popular conventions. The Educa-
tional Interests of Hancock County
demand Mass Meeting this season for
free debate. We have decided after
consultation with many teachers and
friends Of popular Education to hold in
Ellsworth a Mass Meeting Of Teachers
and School Committees.
We desire TO bring our Teachers and
Committees face TO face. We shall
secure the State Superintendent Of
Common schools The Principal of
the Normal School at Castine; The
County Superintendent nearest TO Us, If
possible To address the convention.
We shall try to provide homes for all
the female Teachers in attendance. 1t
is expected that the Teachers Associa-
ton for this county will hold their Nav
meeting with our Convention. Special
notice will be given by the proper
officers.
The time fixed upon for the Mass
Convention is Friday and Saturday
May 10Th aud 2lst. The convention
will meet in Hancock Hall Ellsworth.
We hope next week to give particu-
lars also to send circulars to every
Town giving order of exercises &c.
We hespeak for this meeting the coop
Grafton of Educators and Teacher, and
the clergy throughout the County.

Tive latest phase of the Gubernatorial
contest is the discussion whe; her il is
worth while TO have a Governor who
knows anything. Somebody in The
Oxford Democrat makes the point that
the Bangor candidate cannot write his
message, and thereupon another writer
replies that education is not necessary
for a Governor. If a Governor can't
write ais message let him get somebody
else to do it. And we add. if he cannot
read it when somebody else has written
it, he can get somebody TO do ii for
him.
The Portland Advertiser joins in the
discussion bv saying that ii is well TO
consider whether this whole business
of education NAV not as well be dis
pensed with. Ii il is not necessary TO
have Governor who knows anything.
it surely is not necessary 10 have Sena-
tors or Representatives who know more
