being erected. They are now building ice
houses and making preparations for winters
business. The same parties contemplate
erecting large hotel at the village or thor

A stroll through the ship yards of Bath show

Republicans Alive 10 the Importance of
the Standardization to their Ranks
The Democratic Demonstration in
Brunswick.
ToPsHAM. Nov. l. 1876.

ToPsHAM, Nov. 1, 1876.
To the Editor of the Press
AS we draw near to the gteat battle which is
to be fought next Tuesday, wherein the desti-
MES of this great nation, whether for good or
evil, are to be determined there as elsew here,
the people are fully awakened to, and duly ap.
preciative of the magnitude of the result.
While the Democracy talk loud and buster
about reform and their chances of success,
whistling as it were to keep up their courage,
the Republicans, with an earnest faith that
right must prevail, are happy in the belief that
victory will again perch upon their banners,
and the benefcent and glorious government of
free people, bequeathed to US by the illustri-
GUS men Of the past, be preserved and saved
from the ruthless and bloody hands Of those
who would have destroyed it, 70 hear the loud
and incessant din kept up by the strikers of the
Democratic party, and looking merely upon the
surface Que is quite inclined to believe that
blind party zeal, without thought or reason,
was altogether prevalent in their ranks regard
less of everything except success, But on look
ing little deeper down with more careful in
spection, think we can find there are many
honest men of the party who are giving the
matter deep thought, and are really beginning
to deprecate the evil consequences which may
flow from success. to Their party. That there
are many men-Democrats of long standing in
the party-who take this view of the matter is
evidenced by an occasional and quiet withdraw
ing from their ranks by men of this Glass;
quite number of such cases having occurred
in this town and vicinity recently. L have in
my mind one of a very recent date, viz: John
roEley, Esq. one of our most intelligent and
active business men, butcher by trade, whose
business exceeds all others of his class in this
county. Being a very active and energetic
| man, and of great influence in his party, his
| loss to the Democracy is a serious one.
The grand torchlight procession of the De-
mocracy last evening was not success ESQ far
as results are concerned) through the misman-
| agement, as is stated, of ex-Hon w. r Fields,
| who assumed the command of the forces, hay
ing superseded Major Fall, to bis (Fall's) great
| disgust, who took off his uniform and went
home, and pursuing route of his own instead
of the one according TO their programme. Curses
loud and deep were heard on all sides, and a
| general row seemed inevitable at one time be-
fore commencing their line Of march. 1t is es.
tlmated the whole thing will give gain to the
Republicans Of at least fifty votes.

MISCELLANEOUS.
Resolutions adopted by the Dis
trict Society of Portland, and
approved by the Board Oct. 81,

Resolred That this Board heartily approves of the
"New Practice in Life Insurance." introduced by
the New York Life Insurance Company, for the fol-
lowing reasons:
a. 1t provides for the organization of the insured
into Districts Societies. with local Boards of Trustees
to represent and protect their interests in the Com
pany and exercise their lawful powers in the admins
tration of its affairs.
) 1t provides facilities for extending the benefits
OF Life Insurance to working people who stand in
greater need Of its protection than any other portion
of the community,
ReSotred, That the adoption of this new plan, by
an old, wealthy corporation, shows a desire on the
part of the administration to make the power of the
individual policyholder felt in the direction CT its
affairs, and that this willingness to remove serious
disability which attaches to individual members of
all large mutual companies, is, in the judgment of
this Board, an unmistakable indication of the in
tegrty OF the management and their devotion to the
true interests of the pol:cy-holders.
Resolved, That this effort to bring the working
people and poorer classes into the Company, and
make them sharers in its benefits equally with the
well-to-do, is highly deserving of success.
RESOLVED, That for the above reasons and having
entire confidence in the soundness, integrity and
great strength of the New York Life Insurance Com
pany, we hereby recommend it to the favorable con-
sideraton of ellow-citizens and friends through
out the State.
Resolved, That the President of this Board be,
and is hereby requested to transmit copy of these
resolutions to the President of the Company at
New York, and that the same be published in the
newspapers of Portland.

THE PoLICEMENs BALL-It appears that
the silly reference to the ne wspapers in the
card of the committee on the poicemsn's ball
was entirely unauthorized by the committed,
but was the gratatous impudence of one of
them. The policemen are, about all of tie m,
gentlemen of good character and repute and it
is not surprising that among so many there
should be a few low and disreputable persons.
Pains should be taken to weed out the two or
three questionable officers, that the force may
maintain its high standing in popular esteem
and be creditable to the city. 1t is wrong that
the many good officers should be COMPOUNDED
with and dsgraced by the few who affii ate and
sympashize with the criminal classes.

taking the Syrup. the digestive functions i'm
proved, and she steadily gained strength and
vivacity; and now, having taken two bottles,
she is restored to good state of health in
deed, she appears more really healthy than she
