shortly before the nine o'clock bell warned all
good people to follow the leadership of the
swallows and 'homeward fly" brace of fs-
males promenading on Main street, near the
Biddeford House, met another pair, whom it
seems had been more successful in retaining
the transitory affections of couple of young
men about town, and commenced warfare of
tongues This was too much for the delicately
balanced tempers of the successful practitioners
of Ovid's art, and they "pitched i'm in a lively
pugilstic style. For several moments false
hair flew about thicker than fakes of snow in a
January squall, and dark eyes looked hate to
eyes which spake again, but the gathering
crowd warned the fair belligerents that their
"lttle settlements" had better be reserved for a
more secluded spot than the most crowded por-
ton of the principal street, they hurried off in
opposite directions breathing vows of revenge
when next they met

Reply of Mr.. MORGAN.

NEW YORK, Sept IL. 1877.
M. O COnOr The committee have received
your letter and hereby tender you their sincere
thanks for its great utterances, for its sound
political wisdom and pure morality. Recognize
ing fully the extreme personal delicacy and
noble purity of character which prompt your
declnation of the nomination rendered you
through this committee by the Louisville Con-
vention, upon the grounds you SO forcibly urge,
ond entirely respecting your wish not to be
placed in the attitude of an Office seeker by &C.
cepting nomination at our Misunderstanding
we are acting in the highest and best interests
of the whole country-we have determined, in
accordance with the resolution adopted by the
Convention, to adhere to you as candidate of
the people and thus afford redress not only to
the outraged masses of the Democratic party,
whose false leaders SO shamelessly betrayed
them at Baltimore, but also give to all who are
in favor of an honest and pure Government an
opportunity to be heard at the polls.
Occupying position far removed from the
reach or control of party combination through
conventions and caucuscs the people can vote
for you with the assurance that they are select
ing candidate, and such by their own miriam
meled action, seeing nothing in your defamation
of the nomination by the convention to prev ent
them from voting for you as President of the
United States, being well assured by your high
| patriotism, and lofty abnegation of self that
you would not feel at liberty to refuse to serve
| them if elected. Thus presented to the country
we have an abiding conviction that your posi-
ton will draw to its support all classes of its
wrong doings of the present administration, and
| that such Democrats as have been led from
their allegiance by the unnatural and corrupt
| combination at Baltimore, will yet rcpudiate
| that whole vile proceeding and give to you the
undivided support of the national Democratic
party. (Sgned) -.
WV G. MORGAN,
Chairman of Committee.
