not favor the application Of that corpora

view of the indulgence it had already re-
-ceived from the State and the actual do
nation of 81 200, 900 of stock owned by
the State in other companies. Our opin-
ion is verified by late kosciusko Leader

Evidently the partisans Of the Grant
administration have beheid in the as
founding Custom House revelations of
corruption and plundering, the hand
writing which Portends the downfall of
the Administration in the revolution
which these and other abuses have pro-
duced in public sentiment. Such revo-
buttons are as rapid, resistless and de-
structive of all opposing forces as the
march of tornado in the material world.
Tammany was never so strong in its own
coneeit as it was at the very hour when
the first faint intimations were given of
its astounding frauds. But, where is it
now
The Washington correspondent of the
\. Y. Tribune states that "a shrewd and
sagacious politician and prominent Con-
gresham, who has himself often been
mentioned in connection with the Repub-
lican nomination for the Presidency"
has figured up the electoral vote so that
Grant would have a majority of three.
His list of Grant States includes Penn
sylvania, Arkansas, California and
Florida, either of which is just as likely
to 90 Democratic as Republican.

1t is reported that Grant is growing
uneasy about his chances for re-nomi-
nation. The New York Custom
house Frauds, which exceed the Tam
many villainies and the Civil Service

to his aspirations. There are signs of a
political revolution.

OFFICE OF
Blanchard Maine State Boiler Co.

TINHE above is all engraving of Steam Boiler con-
Il tanning 1900 feet of heating surface, built upon
new principle namely that Of stopping the Gertical
circWt1tioR accomplished by means Of two hOrizOn-
tai diaphrdgmS running through the boiler, and
forming three water compartments By this ar
rangement there is maintained three temperatures of
water.
The smoke and heated gases pass first through the
tubes in the upper compartment, then descend, and
rcturn through the tubes in the second compartment
thence again descending they pass through the tubes
IN the third compartment. By this operation, the
smoke, and heated gases from the furnace on their
way to the smoke stack or chimney come in con-
tact with gradually decreasing temperatures of
water.
While doing average work, coupled with good
engine, it will supply steam for $50 indicated horse
power.
We will guarantee that this boiler will sbew so
per cent. more power with the same weight Of coal
than any boiler of the same heating surface in the
market, and will continue to do so, long it is
used, and we will back guarantees with Gov
ERNMENT BONDS.
The durability of this boiler is greater than any
other for the reason is that cold water is allowed
to come in contact with the intensely heated surfaces
the feed water being gradually heated it ascends
from the lower to the upper compartment
We would especially call the attention of Railroad
men to the following facts, that while running this
boilerwth coal or wood the sparks neutralized,
and none have left the smOke-stack chimney,
which in itself is most valuable advantage never
before realized.
Confining ourselves to practice and not theory we
invite all parties in want OF Steam Boilers to give
a call.
