Political Notes.

One of the reasons assigned for new party
is that new broom sweeps clean. mat de-
ponds, however, upon what that broo is
made of. Material that has been worn out in
collecting spoils in the old parties, and has
consequently been discarded, will not make a
good broom.-[Cincinnati Gazette.
The enigmatical platform ELECTS this from
the Pitts5urg (Pa.) Commercial:
Mr.. Facing-both-ways continues to ho.d
control in the Democratic party. The New
York World insists that the Ohio Democratic
platform means free trade, and the Cleveland
Plaindealer contends that it means protection.
Anything to beat the Republicans.
The Washington I'd. CO. Chronicle gives
this picture of Democracy as it is:
The Democratic platform of Ohio says that
1.-THE Democratic party insists upon equal and
exact justice to all men," while the Democrat
ic leaders Of Virginia cry for "a white mans
government" The nominee for Governor in
Ohio was an anti-war Copperhead of tine
vilest stamp, while the nominee in Virginia
led TIE confederates in person in the field.
Twist it and turn it as you may, it is the same
old party of disunion arrayed against progress
and republcanism.

A Growing Evil.

THE Springfield Republican notices the fact
that gamblers of all kinds gathered at the re-
cent meeting OF the Hampden Park Associa-
ton, degrading the whole affair. The pool
selling was not confined to one tent as has
heretofore been the case but was carried on In
the most open manner and the voice Of the
auctioneer was TO be heard at all times. In
addition to this there were crowds about
wheels ,of fortune and other swindling APP
planes, so that it was more an assembly of
sharpers and gamblers than a respectable
horse trotting association.
What the Republican asserts to be true in
Springfield is equally so in our State. Last
fall at Bangor blatant auctioneer sold pools
directly opposite the judges stand, and there
were other gambling appliances and swindles
to cheat people. A few years ago the pool
seller was unknown, but now this promoter
of professional gambling, is to be found at the
larger of the county fairs, and if not checked
soon will become an institution.
We do not loose sight of the fact that the
raising of fine horses is an important depart
ment of industry in our State. In a general
way we do not object to trials ofspeed at agri-
cultural fairs. 1t is only when animals are
abused and the gambler and professional thief
are allowed to conspicuously practice their
trades that we object to 1t. When, however,
every such occasion is to afford incentives to
gambling and to thrust into public view, the
most dem )ralizing of vices under the sanction
of men of character, it is time that all who
care for pnblic morals should protest against it.
Let us hope that at the annual fall fair which
receive the sanction and aid of the State, the
managers will take care to Danish the pool
seller and other gamblers that now resort to
these exhibitions. If they do not, the Legisla-
ture must withdrawthe State aid and take other
measures to restrain this alarming increase oil
a most pernicious vice.

THE PRESIDENT AND GEN. BUTLER.-The
Hartford Courant says that in conversation
between Secretary Robson and a gentleman of
that city, within few days, the Massachusetts
political canvass was discussed, and the rela-
ton thereto of the federal administration men
toned. The Secretary SAID: 'The national adj
minstration is not in the business of either
making or unmaking the Governor of Massa-
ehusetts or of any other State. If it should
interfere, directly or indirectly, for or against
any individual, the people would have just
cause OF complaint. There are thirty six other
States, but one would think from some of tho
criticisms, more especially outside, that there
is only one State in the Union. OF course every
federal Office holder is at perfect liberty to ex-
ercise his own Judgment in perfect freedom in
the discharge of his duties as citizen and a
voter. And these 1 know to be the sentiments
of Gen. Grant"

A VIRGINIA correspondent of the New
York Times, writes long letter about the
Southern Historical Society, before which
jeff Davis made speech recently and the
purpose for which it is intended. He says
the purpose of the society is not only to pre-
serve the biographies and incidents of the
Confederate side of the Rebellion, but as
JEFF. Davis says to "maintain and perpetu-
ate" the principles for which they vainly
fought and in good time, to further quote that
cowardly ex-leader, "to redeem all we have
lost" He further states that Gen. Gordon
now United States Senator from North Caro-
lima, has been on tour to raise funds to pub
fish the works sanctioned by the society. The
writer warns the country to watch these lead
ers who are really plotting to perpetuate the
hatred and strife for another generation.

Fryeburg Camp Meeting.
CLOSING DAY.


No lovelier morning ever dawned upon the
Saco valley than on Monday. No sooner had
the sunlight found its way between the maple
leaves than the tenters were astir, morning
fires built and preparations made for breakfast
Now and then from some tent would be heard
the fervent prayer going up to the great Ruler
of the universe; or some sweet melody of praise
to Him who giveth the sunshine and the rain
After breakfast prayer meeting was organic
ed in the "Praying Band" tent, which was
filed to overlooking with devout worshipers
were taken down aAd preparations made for
leaving the ground. At ten o'clock Rev Israel
Luce, the presiding elder, called the congrega
ton together at the preachers stand in order
to close the meeting and bid the final adieu.-
Between two and three hundred, mostly men,
bers and converts, were present. He then read
from the I'd chapter of Paul Epistle to the
Ephesans, and Rev. D. B. Randall lead in
prayer, prayer full of pathos, fervent and
touching.
After prayer the presiding elder came for
ward and addressed few parting words to the
flock. He very appropriately remarked that
"God had put his parting smile upon these
closing ceremonies" His words were full of
excellent advice to all. One of the grandest
features of this camp meeting has been the abb
sence of that wild style of worship so obiec-
tionable to many. From the beginning there
seemed to have been a continued increase of
holiness and devotion to the Master. More than
one hundred have been converted to Christ. At
the close of the elders remarks the audience
moved in double file around the auditorium,
giving one good opportunity to observe the
faces OF those who had passed week of devo-
lion and enjoyment upon the grounds
There was not that haggard, sorrowful, care
worn appearance so often seen at the close of
these camp meetings; all looked bright and
cheerful. And although many an eye was
dmmed with tears at the thought of parting,
still happy smile chased away the silent tear
Whatever may be said of other camp-meetings
this one will not suffer by just criticism.

LEWISTON LUMBER TRADE.-The Lewiston
Journal says that an agent of the Eastern ard
Maine Central Railroad was in Lewiston Thurs
day investigating the alleged grievances of the
lumber traffic, which it is said has suffered
greatly the past season from the refusal of the
Eastern to connect with the Boston & Maine
Railroad. An investigation of facts showed, it
is reported, that about ten millions of lumber
were formerly shipped from Lewiston and vi
cinity to points West, large part of which has
been stepped by the cause alluded to. The re-
suit is that the Maine Central loses large
amounts of freight from this point, as former
customers of the lumber manufacturers are
driven to place their orders with LUMBER sellers
along the line of the Grand Trunk Railroad.
Thus the fIeight is transferred from the Maine
Central to the Grand Trunk and Boston and
Maine. The Journal learns that the agent re-
turned, apparently assured that the evils COM
planned of are not imaginative.
