The STocKHOLDER, published in New York,
and devoted to general railroad interests, in a
long article on ''White Mountain Travel"
speaks in flattering terms of the Portland and
Ogdensburg both as to its high excellence as a
road, and to its fiattering prospects for large
business Under the date OF August 18th, it
says:
The Portland & Ogdensburg Railroad which
has been running for some time to Conway
(last Thursday opened to North Conway, has
been the most considerable portion of the trav-
ell the present season. The easy and steady
motion of the cars on this road at the high
speed which is at times maintained, shows that
the road is well and carefully built. 1t has lit.
tie of the rOnghness which ia too often found
on new tracks, and, generally, we learn from
railroad men that the engineering ard con-
struction of the road is most satisfactory and
creditabe to all concerned. Mr.. John A nder
sor, brother of Gen. Anderson, President OF
the company, is the engineer in charge of the
location and construction of the line. His well
known character for capacity and thorough
ness is we'll reflected in the work of this road.
The construction of the Portland & Ogdens-
burg Railroad up the valley of the Saco, which
follows through the Great Notch directly at
the base of Mount Washington, has proved
very attractive to summer travel, so speedy
and direct is the route. The revenue to the
company from this source the present season
has been very large, and increases as each new
section is opened towards that great gate made
by nature Though the Alleghanies OF the north
Wide awake as the Portland people are to all
enterprises which promote the interest and
growth OF that thriving city, they have not yet
arrived at a iul appreciation of the advantages
which are to ensue to their city and to the traffic
of the country at large from the opening OF
this new and economical route from the Mis-
sissippi Valley to the Atlantic seaboard. Sui
flee to say as a sample Of the general merits Of
this undertaking, that this road, now rapidly
1.-THE Maine portion being completely, can
afford to bring wheat, -four, corn, pork and 9TH
er staples OF the great north west to tidewater
at but little over half the present rates by the
more southern routes, thus enabling the West
ern farmer and forwarder to make 80 cents GO
as far ia paying for transportation to and from
tidewater as dollar goes now.

Cumberland County Republican Conven-

ton.
The Cumberland County Republican Con-
vention met at Reception Hall yesterday morn
ing at 10 Is o'clock, and was called to ORDER by
Ira P. Booker, of Brunswick, who read the
printed call for the Convention, and nominated
Hon. j. H. DrummOnd of Portland temporary
Chairman and A. f. Gerrish of Portland and
F. L. Kurdish of Brunswick temporary Secre-
taries.
On taking the chair Mr. Drummond remarked
that he should say but little on this occasion.
He congratulated the delegates that after such
| fearful war the party stood SO fairly before
the world referred to the late trouble in New
| York, and the elections in North Caiohha anu
Kentucky as matter of great satisfaction to
Republicans, and stated that their opponents
| had paid them a still higher. tribute than any
thing they had accomplished for themselves,
| in that they had put themselves on the Repub-
| licap platform, confessing that in the past the
Republicans had been right and the Democrats
wrong. No higher tribute had ever been made
in this country or any other to Republican
principles than this confession. Their New
| Departure cannot save them and they will
| try their old departure next election up Salt
River.
| 1t was moved that the Convention adjourn
adopted.
The Committee on Credentials was then ap-
pointed, consisting Of H. A. Shorey of Bridg-
ton, John Woodbury. of Falmouth, j. T. Ad-
ans of Brunswick, Isaac Knight of Portland,

Permanent Organization be appointed, to re-
port after the Committee on Credentials. Car
ried. Ira P Booker of Brunswick, Reuben
Higgins of Cape Elizabeth and EIakm Wes-
colt of Standsh were appointed said commit
tee.
The Committee On Credentials reported that
26 towns we're represented by 152 delegates
The number of delegates by rule amounted tG
but 151 On investigation it was found thai
by mistake Pownal had been credited with
delegates instead of 8, there being but allow
ed to that town and but present. Number o.
delegates therefore present was 151. The re-
port was accepted.
The Committee on Permanent Organization
reported that the temporary organization be
made permanent. Accepted.
Mr.. Symonds OF Portland said he understood
the nominations for Senators were next in or
der. He thought that the Senator from Port
land, Hon. c. j. Morris, had filed the Office
acceptably for one term, and moved that he b'
re-nominated by reclamation. Hon. G. j. Nor
rs was enthusiastically re- nominated by accla
nation. Hon. w. H. VintOn moved that I
