CINCINNATI CoNvENTIoN.-The committee
appointed by the Blaine Club to make arrange
ments for delegates have made satisfactory
rates. The price will be $2S, from Portland to
Cincinnati and return. There was deep in
terest at Augusta last winter among the Re-
publican members of the Legislature and others
that the delegation from Maine should be large
in numbers and earnest for their favorite can
didate for President. An opportunity now
presents itself for Maine to do its duty in aid
ing in promoting the nomination of Mr.. Blaine,
which determined effort on the part of his
friends everywhere is quite certain to secure.
The tickets for Cincinnati will be good from
the 9Th to the 18th of June, and an opportunity
is thus presented to any of our Republican
friends TO stop in Philadelphia. We urge upon
the Republicans of our state. to make arrange
ments to 60 to Cincinnati under the arrange
ments made by the Blaine Club. Farther in
formation will be given at an early day.
A meeting of the Blaine Club will be held at
Augusta on Thursday evening of this week.
The Executive Committee of one from each
county and all others interested are earnestly
invited to be present.

Brookyiile. Pa March 1TtI

Brookviile, Pa March 9th, 1876.
Mn. EpIroR:-Iu order that the outside
world may not fcIget that there is such a
place as Brookville, take few moments
leisure and let you know that we are still
moving. Winter in this section has ap.
peared wrong end foremost. and we are now
having weather that would have done credit
20 rIlidwnter.
Our people are still az energetic as of
yore, Notwithstanding the scarcity OF
money, and the general stagnatiOn of bust
ness. We are, however, about to lose one
of our n ost energetic citizens in the per-
son of ex-Shcrif j ohm s. Barr. who leaves
this week to take charge Of the American
House, in Pittsburgh, which is now being
reftted for the accommodation of his nu-
merous friends, who may have business in
that city. 1t is not matter of doubt that
Sheriff Barr knows how o keep hotel.
and we are satisfied that the American
House, under his management, will become
a fayorite resort for his many friends while
sojourning in the Smoky City. Sheriff
Barr in thus leaving Us casts quite dam-
per ON his friends in this county who were
determined to make him the Republican
candidate for the Legislature, aud had he
have got the nomination there would have
been no such thing as defeating him. But
as it is as necessary to have good hotel S
and landlords as it is good legislators, we
will cheerfully put up with our disappoint-
ment.
We are again having some excitement in
this section over the prospects CT another
railroad being built into this county. This
time we are to be connected directly with
The lakes, by railroad from our vast coal
fields TO Buffalo. This road as at present
spoken of will pass directly through Brook
vile, and thence south of us, where already
thero has been considerable land, under
laid with superior coal, purchased by
Buffalo parties.
But for fear that Jou may think am
taking up too much Of your valuable space
will close this, and promise more interest
ing matter nert time, DICK.

The St. Adams Messenger, in an article
on the State Convention, asserts that the
supposed disincliration of Mr.. Fairbanks tc
accept nomination for Governor was got VI
by Judge Poland, with the intention on his
part to get the nomination himself 1t may
be that the Messenger believes this, but we
greatly doubt it. We are much more in
elined to believe that the suggestion comes
from the chronic habit of the Messenver 10
imagine and say as many evil things as pos
sibe Of Judge Poland.
Now the truth is that 10 man was more
DESTROYS that Mr.. Fairbanks should accent
the nomination than the Judge himself lie
had nothing to do with promoting the idea
that Mr.. Fairbanks would not be a candi-
date; and to all solicitations to be a can
didate himself, he uniformly and persist
entity refused, saying. that be did NOT de-
sire the Office, and that if it was TO be
given to any one here, it belonged to Mr..
Fairbanks and not to himself. When Mr.
Fairbanks name was brought forward at the
Convention, he supper ted him heartily. and
no man was better satisfied with the uorni-
nation than Judge Poland. Caledonian.
