Notes from the State Press.
What orr Contemporaries are saying.

The Oxford Democrat, in speaking of Gov.
Dineley's refusal to be again candidate,
says:
Renublican simplicity, economy and honesty
are the needs of the hour. Men are wanted
for official life who sympathize with the mass
es. who are willing to labor freely and gener-
ously for their moral and political elevation.
Such man has been Governor Dingley. ne
nossesses that clearness of vision which enables
him to search out the sources of error, and be
has the independence and courage to recon-
mend and apply the remedy. Such character
may not secure the appreciation OF the syco-
plant and parasite; but it will do what is TAR
better-deserve the rev ard of a faithful public
servant.
Since Governor Dingley declines to accept
the nomination to which he is entitled by GUS
tom and usage, some other man must be Sc
lected in his place. The question arises at
once, who shall it be? Who is the man for
Governor of Maine? There are in all parts of

THE REFORM CoMBINATIoN- troupe,
consisting of members of the Reform Club of
this city, gave very good entertainment in
City Hall last evening. 1t is to be regretted
that they were disappointed in the orchestra,
which declined at late hour to appear, and
they were obliged to perform under difficulties.
Every one performed bis part well under the
circumstances, and we trust they will have
another opportunity to show the citizens of
Portland what home talent can do.

A GREAT SCARE Yesterday afternoon ow-
ing to the high wind, the staging to the Second
Parish church steeple swayed to one side near
two feet, near the top. Several loose boards on
top were blown to the street, and many persons
thought that the whole staging would topple
over. Ropes were put across the street to- pre-
vent teams from passing and great crowd
gathered to see the crash. The carpenter who
put the staging up was sent for, and he at once
went to work to secure it, if it was in danger,
fact which he very much doubted. 1t is all
right now and the work on the steeple Will
