He was crowned poet of the occasion, and

A young man named Alfred johnson

Ayoung man named Alfred johnson Of
Gloucester, Mass, intends the present
week to attempt the feat of crossing the
Atlantic ocean in 4 fishing dory twenty
feet in length. The dory has been built
expressly for the occasion, and has three
compartments and decked over. He will
be unaccompanied by any one and has
laid in store of provisions aud water for
a ninety days voyage. 1t seems a fool
hardy enterprise, but Mr.. johnson expects
to be compensated by exhibiting himself
and dory in Liverpool after his safe ar
rival, in which event he is most sanguine.
OF course the dory is named Centennial.

The Times further says that 1.-THE two
thirds rule ought not, in Il case like this,
to be permitted to defeat the will of the
majority" We do not think that there is
an actual danger of such result. The dit
erence between a simple and a two-thirds
majority is l22 votes. Now it is the set
tied policy of the south to support that
candidate who is strongest in the north.
The two hundred and seventy-six nomina-
ting votes Of the southern states are prob

We mentioned recently that three muir

about the efficacy OF law in protecting hui

1t will be recollected that several weeks ago
Mr.. Blaine was confined to his house several
days by slow type of malarial fever, but APP
penrcd before the sub-Judicary Committee,
who were investigating the charges against
him, before he had fully recovered from the
ment on his part both before the committee and
i'll the House, the large number of persons daily
in conference with him and his attention to an
extensive correspondence, including very many
kilograms from all parts of the country, especi-
ally during the past few weeks, the loss of
rest or other causes, produced the strain upon
his mind that caused his sudden illness to-day.
Secretary BriStow called at tue house as soon
as he heard of Mr.. Blaine's illness, as also did
Secretaries Fish, Robson. Chandler, Postmast-
er Jewell, Gen. sherman, Senator Ferry and
Paddock, Gen. Garfield and other gentlemen of
prominence. The sympathy for Mr.. Blaine
was not confined TO political friends, many
Democrats having called to inquire his condi-
ton and resretting his sudden illness.
About this afternoon Mr.. Bl aine's con-
sclousneSS gradually returned, when he recog-
nlzed his wife and inquired of her what was
the matter, and she replied that he was i'll and
after that he, for the first time. turned over on
his bed unaided his breathing was better a. d
his pulse stronger. The anema produced some
effect, but not to the extent desired and there
fore the doctors applied electricity. They say
that the symptoms are favorable, although he
does not appear fully restored to consciousness.
This evening one of them said in private con-
versation that the attack was clearly case of
sun-stroke or heat-stroke, to which Mr.. Blaine
was rendered liable on account Of his recent
illness, overwork, excitement and loss of rest.
Up to Tuesday evening Mr.. Blaine had much
improved. The telegraph sends the following
WASHINGTON, June 10. About eight o'clock
this evening Mr.. Blaine called for paper and
pencil and without the aid of any kind wrote
the following message to be telegraphed Mr..
Hale at Cincinnati:

physical weakness. Impress upon my friends the
great debt of gratitude | owe for the unparalleled
steadfastness with which they have adhered to ne
III my hour OF trial. j. u. BLAINE.
The foregoing message was written by Mr.
Blaine at his own suggestion and is in his usual
bold and distinct hand writing, showing no
traces of weakness or hesitation.

FOR GOVERNOR,
JOHN G. TALBOT.
The State Convention.
OF EAST MACuIAs.

The Democratic State Convention, that
assembled at Bangor on Tuesday, was q
splendid gathering Of the friends of le
form in the national and state administra-
tons 1t was convention of the men
who manage the farms, the workshops.
the business establishments, the great
numbering interests, who build and sail
the ships-in short the representatives Of
the great industries of Maine. They were
not the drones who have flttened upon
the labor of others, and contributed moth
ing to the increase Of the commonwealth
but were the hand and brain workers of
the land. They know how disastr ously
the present lavish expenditure, the per-
vading corruption, and the indifference to
the sufferings of the people, are affecting
the welfare of those who do the real work
Of the land. They know better than any
one else the need of HEFoRM-nay the
necessity of t-if we are TO have coun-
try worth living in.
The interest with which they listened
to the calm but terribly torcible arragu-
ment Of the administration by Hon. j. G.
Madigan, whose peroration brought down
thunders of applause, ard TO the fiery elo-
quence Of Gen. Sam. Anderson, was evil
dence of the deep interest felt III the cause
and the occasion.
In the nominee for Governor, the Hon.
John G. Talbot, the friends Of reform have
a leader whose sympathies with the cause
are strong, active and persistent-a man
who in the course OF a life devoted to pro-
iessional and business pursuits never re-
ceived dollar that was not honestly and
honorably earned--a man of rare intelli-
gence, Of thorough integrity and absolute
purity of personal character, Mr.. Talbot
is about sixty years OF age, lawyer by
profession, and u man who has had ex-
perience in public life, having been sever
al times a member Of the eGislature, and
served very acceptab.y rs Speaker Of the
House.
The Resolutions Of the Convention re-
affirm the very excellent declarations of
last year, for sound money. reform OF
abuses. and endorse the champion OF re
form, Hon. Samuel }. Tilden, as candidate
for the Presidency. 1t is Il platform on
which every honest man can stand, and
which corruptionists cannot assail With
such a candidate and such Il PLATFORM the
Democracy of Maine ought to prevail.

short time before IL o'clock. eN-Speuller Blaine
left his residence in company with Mrs. Blaine
and slowly walked to the Congregational church
about three-quarters OF a mile from their home.
Just rs they reached the church he complained
of severe pain in his head and dizziness, at
the same time placing his hand upon it. Enter

was prevented and he was assisted to seat on
the steps, when he exclaimed, ''oh this pain -

soon appeared and lost no time in cupping the
spine and resorting to other counter irrtants
