The Democratic Nominee for
Congress-.

The Democratic Congressional Con.
vention, at Bellsire, on Tuesday, plac-
ed in nomination VIM. Lawrence OF
Washington, Guernsey county, as their
Candidate for Congress. Mr.. Lawrence
is about 60 years of age he was apoliti-
clan twenty years ago +; was member
Of the Ohio Senate in the sd General
Assembly which convened in January,
1856, from the Guernsey and Monroe
District and during his term, in the fall
of that year, was elected to Congress
from the Belmont, Guernsey &C., Dis
trict, receiving in this County 2542
votes against 1918 for Chas. ]. Albright,
Republican, and 1918 for John Daven.
PORT, American. In 1854, two years
previous, he bolted the Democratic
Congressional Convention, at Barnes
Vile, because they made platform
endorsing the Nebraska swindle, and
came out as an Independent Anti-Ne-
braska Candidate for Congress. His
career in Congress was uneventful and
he retired at the end of his term in
March, 1859, and the world moved on !;
at length the war came and Mr.. Law
renee arrayed himself on the side of the
dislOyal and he was considered by
Union men Of his locality as one of the
most dangerous allies of the Confeder-
ate cause; he connected himself with
every movement that had for its object
the discouragment of enlistments or the
raising of money for the support of the
war, and is charged as having been a
member of that reasonable organiza-
tion, the knights of the Golden Cir.
cle.' He was again elected to the Ohio
Senate, and took his seat in JAM, '6S.
Mr.. Lawrence is known as q political
sehemer of the most unscrupulous sort,
and is not in especial favor among the
Democrats of his own section as was
shown by the vote of Guernsey county
at the Convention which nominated
him, although every other county
in the District went for him, cast its
entire vote in favor of Newell Kennon.
With this record of Mr.. Law renee,
and more, of which we will remark
hereafter, it is scarcely possible for him
to carry his party strength in the Dis
trict.

GEN. JAMES M. FUTILE, of Des
Moines, Iowa, used to be a Democrat,
but he has got tired of it, and has
"come out" for Hayes and Wheeler.
He delivered long speech at Repub.
lican ratification meeting recently, in
which he referred with considerabl
feeling to some of the historical shin.
ing lights Of the Democracy. Here is
q lively extract, for instance:
"Among the last Democratic officers
of any note were Floyd and Jake
Thompson, the Democratic Secretary
of War and Secretary of the interior.
They stole from the Government they
were sworn to serve, to help the rebel.
lion raised to destroy it; and beside
their crimes and their corruptions, all
that is charged against the Republican
officials, admit it all to be true even,
sinks into insignificance. Why, old
Jake Thompson, encouraged by the
defiance of Ben Hill in his speech, went
down to Washington a few months
ago, and like braggart demanded in
vestigation, pompously saying that he
would waive the legal point of time.
He went down there blowing, and got
sued-for the money that he stole for
the rebels. TGreat cheering.] If old
Floyd were alive, he too, probably,
would 60 down there, under the pro
lection of the rebel shadow of Ben Hill,
and demand investigation. But, like
the child covered with the curse of the
crime against Abraham Lincoln, he al
so had the good sense to die. He was
at Fort Donaldson with the other Con.
stituti0n-huggers,' but he skipped out
early, 30 as to be safe. If he had stood
his ground like brave man he. would
have had the good fortune TO
die earlier. Laughter.] But he Lit
put. He could steal for the Confeder-
scy, but he wasn't willing to die for it.

heavy expenditures of the Government
in meeting its war obligations, but
makes no allusien to the part played

words leave the fair inference that he

RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
Two Cars OF the Track ON the Boston
a. Maine Kaiiroad--Several Passengers
Seriously Injured.

The first accident of any account which has
ever happened on this end of the Boston &
Maine Railroad occurred last evening in
Libby's Woods, short distance from Oak
Hill.
The accomm odation train which left here at
$50 for Kennebunk was composed of severa
freight cars, with baggage car and two pas
senger cars on the rear Just as the train
reached the place of the accident. the draw bar
connecting the baggage and the first passenger
cars pulled out and went under the trucks Of
the latter. The result was the two passenger
cars were each thrown from the track, ore on
each side, smashing them somewhat, and
shaking up the passengers badly. OF the
injured George West of Blddeford was severely
injured about the head. Mr.. George Hobbs of
the Atlantic House, Wells Beach, who was in
the forward car, was very seriously injured A
man, supposed to be Capt. Amos Leavitt had
his jaw broken. Several others were slightly
injured, but none others seriously.
The remainder of the train was stepped as
soon as possible and the passengers of the
wrecked cars were taken in the baggage car to
Old Orchard Beach. There the injured were
attended by ply sicians brought from Saco and
Biddeford
As soon as possible after the accident word
was sent to Superintendent Furber at Boston.
He ordered the passengers Of the eight o'clock
train trans ferred and the track cleared as soon
as possible. Accordingly about eight o'clock
train left this city and brought the passengers
of that train to this city, arriving here at near
ly ten o'clock. Soon after wreckiug train
was sent to the spot and the track was cleared
in time for the morning freight trains

There is this much to be said for tne panto-
mines and art pictures given in aid of the Hos
pital: All who see them wish to see them
again. No higher praise need be accorded.
Mr.. Bartlett has genius for this sort of thing;
an eye for color and position, and exquisite
taste in the arrang ement of artistic effects Lost
winter he gave US the finest entertainment of
the season. This fall he has afforded at least
as good and in some particulars better ex
hibitiou. Doubtless the improvement is in
great measure owing to the previous expert
ence of those who took part.
Thursday evening there was large audi
ence at City Hall. Last evening the audience
was larger. The fame of the representations
had spread abroad, and all were DESTROYS to at
tend. It would be impossible without going
into elaborate detail to do justice to the enter
tainment of last evening. Where all is excel
lent the awarding of the palm is out of the
question. 1t may be permitted however to
mention "The Roman Model picture which
was so successful last year because of the won
derful resem5 lance between picture and subject
and the beauty of both, the Beatrice Cenci,"
a reproduction of Guido Rents famous prison
scene in which painter and prisoner divide the
attention, the ARTISTS Dream the ''Elaine"
after Rosenthars picture Tin which the arm
displayed was surely as beautiful as that one
which the painter took for his modeD and the
fine groups of statuary. There should be men
toned too as one of the finest pictures given
during the evening" "The Betrothalof the Prin
cess" which was supplemented by the dance
scene of the evening before. Neither should
judith and Holofernes" pass without notice.
but when one desires to call attention to the
| excellent representations he must mention ALL
1t is necessary to content ourself with saying
that the entertainment was equal to those
given last year, and that is sufficient praise
