ing was an excellent one. 1t was simply this
cut down the revenues so low that there will be
nothing to steal. 1t can easily be imagined
that the prospect of applying such radical
remedy as this was rather discouraging to his
hungry hearers, and there wasn't great enthu
siasm. Of course when Mr.. Anderson charged
the salary grab upon the Republican party he
was presuming upon the ignorance of his audi
ence. He knew well enough that it was not a
party affair at all, that a large number of Dem
ocratic Congressman voted for it, among them
Mr.. Samuel Randall of Pennsylvania, who has
been mentioned prominently in connection with
the Speakership of the next House of Repre-
sentatives.
Mr.. Anderson's speech was cut short by the
arrival of Mr.. j. E. Fitzgerald of Boston. who
had spent the first part of the evening harang-
uing the Democracy of Biddeford. Mr.. Ftz-
gerald had nothing to say that had not been
said by the previous speakers, but it was sup
posed he could favorably impress the Irish
wing of the Democracy which has been a bit
restve of late. He spoke about three quarters
of an hour, but made no new points, after
which the meeting adjourned till tonight when

Down THE HARBoR.-A large number of
our citizens enjoyed beautiful sail in the
lower harbor on the steamer Charles Houghton
Saturday. Itwas the last trip of the season,
and 30 large number availed themselves of
the opportunity. The steamer left State street
wharf at 1870, and touched at Portland Pier
for passengers from the eastern part of the city.
Landings were made at Jones', Evergreen,
Long Island and Little Chebeague. 1t was
expected that the steamer would stop at
Harpswell for the passengers to take dinner,
but as the wharf facilities at that place were
not irst-rate, she did not stop, but took long
turn and came up to Great Chebeague Island,
where dinner was served on board to those who
were not provided with the facilities for a
picnic dinner. The steamer stopped there
about an hour, and the company amused them
selves after dinner by taking stroll over the
island. Near the landing the government is
excavating for gravel to be used in the work on
Fort Scanned The gravel is of superior
quality, and is composed Of small pebbles with
scarcely any loom. 1t is loaded from the bank
to schooners and taken to the Fort at very
Sinall expense
At Long Island Mr.. Ponce has a large crew
of men building The wharf for his hotel, which
will be commenced on at once. The steamer
returned to the city at about five o'clock, and
the entire company voted the excursion the
pleasantest of the season.

BASE BALL.


For three weeks past the compositors on the
morning papers of this city have been trying
to get up ''moral courage enough to challenge
each other to a game of base ball. for the cham
pionship, and Thursday, the s'typos'' on the
PRESS threw out the challenge, which was
promptly accepted by the Argus typos, and
Saturday, at the Presumpscot Park, was the
the time and place designated to decide the
question. As the time drew near, considerable
interest was manifested, as it was understood
that the result of the election to-day depended
on this game. At two o'clock the two mines
were on the ground and after selecting their
captains and the placing Of their men the
"toss" was given and the PRESS boys went to
the bat. The swift pitching of st. John both
cred the boys for few minutes, but they soon
learned the tricks of the game, and they went
out with score of six, The Argus Nine, came
up smiling and were confident of score of not
less than ten, but were retired with one run.
The second inning of the PRESS Nine was
short one. they making only one run. On the
second inning of the Argus they were choked
and from this time the PRESS boys had an easy
time as the Argus Nine had become demoral-
lied. Although their captain changed the po-
sition of his men, it was evident they would be
obliged to retire from the field without wound
ing member Of the PRESS Nine. Each Nine
had professional player, the other sixteen
being amateurs. The fielding of the two mines
was excellent, both sides making but very few
errors. The game was witnessed by vast

advertised the Park would not have accommo.

takers had been engaged and were in readi-
ness to attend in case they were needed but
oil the boys escaped without scratch, except
Kelley, who caught cred hot' one on the
neck. 1t is rumored on the street that the
Argus Nine are to challenge the champions to
play again in two weeks, which we have no
doubt, will be accepted.
The following is the score:

A Coon JoKE.-Those who attended the
Museum Saturday night saw a good joke
played on the gayest joker in that excellent
company. 1t will be remembered that in the
last act of Divorce Mrs. De Witt becomes an
cry at Jitt, the lawyer, owing to his persistent
enorts TO get her divorce from her husband.
ln ner excitement she grabs Jitt by the collar
and after giving him severe shaking slings
MIN into seat where his hat is placed. Of
course the hat is crushed and Jitt amuses the
auoiehce by pressing it into shape again. Sat-
uroay night just as Jitt was to fall upon the
cover OF his bald pate, Mr.. Burrtt, the detec-
tive who was on hand as witness, removed
the much abused hat. Of course Jitt went
down onto the seat as usual and rising slowly
turned to pick up his hat, which on this oc-
caslon was not there. He saw the joke in an
Instant and twisting his phiz as only Frank
GURUS can. proceeded with the farce. The
JOKE was understood by large number pres
ent who had seen the play, and to say that ap-
plause ensued hardly does justice to the mat

The Represeuta,ixe TICKET.

The list of candidates for the Legislature,
presented by the Republican Convention OF
Friday for the suffrages of the people of this
city is good one. 1t is made up with view
to the fair representation of all our interests.
Capt Winslow is worthy to be the head of
this or any other ticket. His long business life
has been distinguished no less for probity and
uprightness than for energy and ability. His
name is known wherever commerce exists, and
his sails whiten every sea. He is man of
whom the city is justly proud, and our citizens
of all parties should be glad of the opportunity
to recognize by their suffrages his sterling quail.
ties.
Mr.. Thomas has had three years of service in
the Legislature, and to his natural abilities
adds that experience and knowledge of the de-
tails of legislation so important to represen.
tative. He will make most useful member.
and will devote his entire time and attention to
the duties of the position.
Mr.. Cleaves is young lawyer of solid
ability, tact, and by his genial qualities has
attached to him q large number of personal
friends. He will make an excellent represent
ative, and brings positive strength to the ticket.
Mr.. Littlefeld is worthy representative of
the mechanics of the city, who have done so
much for its prosperity. He has served the
city in the City Government most acceptably,
and whenever his name has been before the
people, he has received more than the party
vote.
Mr.. Newhali is well known in business cir
cles. and has an excellent reputation for
integrity and sagacity. He was warmly sup
ported for the nomination by those who are
best acquainted with him. He will, if elected,
make worthy representative.
As we have before stated, the ticket is an
excellent one and worthy of support. We
trust that no one will cut this ticket from per-
sonal pique, or from any other unworthy
motive.

The LATEST DoDGE.-The demijohn game
has gone out of practice, but the sharp boys
have started one which works equally as we'll,
although not quite as lucrative. It.works this
way: A small boy with ragged clothes and the
remnant of cap or cast away lat calls at
your door and asks if you do not want to buy
barrel of shayings. You think of the cold
weather coming and of the cheapness of the
article in question, and decide to take barrel.
Then the boy suggests that it would save you
much trouble to let him take barrel and fill
it. He takes the barrel and departs, never to
return again. You may look for the shavings,
but it is not at all likely you will get them
when that boy can sell the barrel and realize %
cents from it,

His Preliminary Examination.

1t seems N. W. Randall, who has been ar
ey, is not minister as reported by telegraph.
He went to Clinton in 1867, representing him
self as Methodist minister; but he bore
very bad character, and was not recognized by
that denomination. He preached sometimes
in schoolhouses, as he had opportunity or as
the people permitted. He had quite pie asing
address, and his manners were ca lculated to
IMPRESS stranger very favorably. Along
with his preaching, as diversion, he opened
that something stronger than sweet cider was
drawn from behind his counter, and supped by
congenial spirits. In 1869 the town put Ran
dali upon the school committee, but the people
and the teachers in the town schools were
justly indignant and refused to recognize him
as such an officer He was caught in good
many mean acts, such as petty thieving, steal
ng, etc. Then he strayed off to other places,
but like bad penny, always returned to Clin-
ton. He tried to get commission as trial
justice, but failed. His latest attempt was
made few months since, sending his name in
to the governor and council, as N. Wesley
Randall. After the commission was made out,
it becoming known that this was the same
Randall that had been denied such a position
several times previously. the commission was
Withdrawn. Last summer he went to Wins
