A Gushing Ovation.

The pilgrimage of "Uncle Horace into
Maine and his ride to the capital formed the
subject of glowing and gushing pen picture
by the special correspondent ofthe New FORK
Sun. Let us follow him for little in his
meanderings 1.-THE train was run at the rate
of THIRTY miles an hour!" calm ost enough to
take off what little hair Horace has left
"On the top of his head,
The place where the wool ought TO grow.C
"The entire distance was made at that
(fearfuD rate of speed" (The engineer on
that train will have to be suspended for fast
drving.) cat Brunswick the Hon. William
r. Field introduced the next President, and
on the banks of the Androscoggin river our
next President was grasped by the hands by
several hundred lumbermen." Presidents in
Brunswick will appreciate that joke-'seve-
raj hundred lumbermen"-and would like
very much to take them by the hand, if they
could only find them in that vicinity. And
then ''the Hon. William Il. Field" is a good
one. Those who have drank Fields hot cof
fee at his saloon in the Brunswick depot, or
made away with half dozen or SO of his
cart-wheel doughnuts, will wonder what big
doughnuts and hot coffee have to do with con-
ferring the distinction of Honorable. Will
liam has for several successive years been
the. unsuccessful democratic candidate for
representative to the legislature from Bruins
wick, and this may account for the title.

Of two titles, General" and tex Governor"

Executive chair. But then he was demo-
cratic candidate.) cat Gardiner, DIR. Greeley
was met with a committee of citizens from
Augusta, among them Sumner Barton and
Marshal Whitehead" (From this point it
seems that the train ''started at a fearful rate
of speedy 1t was here probably that Hor-
ace was "sold" and made to believe that he
was to be the "guest of the city authorities
of Augusta" The vivid and touching de-
scription of the journey closes with the tableau
on Winthrop street, during the pro-
gress of the procession
"In Winthrop street Miss Nellie Alden,
daughter of Col. Darius Alden, one of the
most beautiful women in New England,
stepped from her fathers palatial residence
and presented DIR. Greeley with handsome
bouquet of flowers. DIR. Greeley received it
with many thanks, amid the cheers of the
multitude and the waving of handkerchiefs by
crowds of ladies who filled every window
looking on the exciting scene"

Democratic. Liberal Row at Augusta on Gree.
ley Day had bad effect on the democratic
cause here. Many who were chatting be-
tween two opinions" becoming disguised
with the proceedings have come out for Grant
& Wilson, and several old dyed in. the.wool
democrats have come over on the republican
side. One, quite prominent Man in the
democratic ranks of late years, after going
down to your city and taking peep at H. G.
came back satisfied that he was not the man
for his vote, and therefore he will vote for
Grant.
After the election of Greeley there will
probably be some three or four new Post Off
ces erected in this town, to accommodate the
sore-head republicans who have the promise
of a post-office here. lso more routes for
those who are going to be mail agents on the
trains. l believe the estimate of change of
politics here is about three democrats chang

ALL Is CHAOS IN MEXICO. According to
The latest telegraphic news from the capital
of that unfortunate country President Juarez
is in the last agony of despair, and is
reported to have made piteous
appeal to President Grant for help
against the overwhelming and still increasing
numbers Of the revolutionists, Of whom thirty
thousand are now said to be in the field. I'm
der these circumstances President Grant can
no longer hesitate. Annexation to the United
States Is the panacea for all the evils that are
preying on poor desolated Mexico.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1872-02-16

such an alliance will be permitted in New
York. We have pulled 1ammany down
as effectually as when Samson drew
down the pillars, and Erie stands trembling,
unsupported column. To condone all the
infamies that have been perpetrated in the
name of Erie-the corruption of legislation,
the subsidizing of the press, the pollution of
the Bench, the violation of vested rights, the
creation Of mob rule and anarchy, the unblush-
ing robbery Of foreign stockholders and bond
holders, the absorption of this great and
needed trunk line for private emolument by
those who hold it in trust-wil bring political
damuation to any party that permits it. All
these deeds must be investigated and punished.
The record of Erie is such that the people
will be justified in regarding every member Of
the Legislature who does not vote for its over
throw and the selection of new men to man
age the road as a bought hireling of the road,
bribed with its money, who has sold his soul
after the manner of Judas Iscariot.
With the downfall of Erie we must have
new charter. This cannot be longer delayed.
The people passed upon this question at the
last election, and they will not submit to this
Albany trifing. Mr.. Alvord particularly will
not add to his reputation by standing in the
way of wise legislation. We want plain,
simple, specific charter, based upon sound
principles of law, that will live for generation
at least. We care nothing as to the distribu-
ton Of the patronage. The people will take care
of that in time, and it will matter little who
serves them provided they are served. Any
how, let us have an end Of triaing, Of all
liliputian legislation. Let us have char
ter, and let the scandal of Erie be removed.
New York demands this, and unless this de-
mand is regarded the men who fail to do so
will have political infamy that even our
own queer history will not parallel.
