The Republican County Convention.

There was large attendance in this city Oh
Tuesday, Aug. eth, at the Waldo County Conven-
ton holden for the purpose Of nominating two
Senators, County Attorney a Register of Deeds,
a County Treasurer, and a County Commissioner.
The truly rural and the ''trooly loyal" meandered
into town in all kinds and descriptions of convey
ances, and at an early hour our streets were filled
with knots Of men wrangling over the coming
nominations. Two subjects seemed to weigh
pecially heavy on the average Republican mind;
they were first whether or not to pass resolutions
like those lately erupted in the village of 1Etna-
denounclng President Hayes a traitor to every
thing; second whether or not to bounce" Bracket
the present Register of Deeds-who has made him
self extremely unpopular in his office, On other
questions there was an unanimity of opinion
The convention called to order at about 10
o'clock A. NJ, and Raymond S. Rich Of Jackson
was given the chair. Mr. Rich is a man of almost
gigantic proportions-and he may have been Sc
lccted on that account as being a good fellow to
sit down on Objectionable resolutions The
secretaries chosen James A. Colson Of Sears
| port and DR. Craig. Of Unity. Various commit
tees appointed. It was decided to dispense
with a committee resolutions, thus choking oft
| the GROWERS. While the committee on credentials
were at work, Esquire Runuells Of Searsport made
violent speech, in which he declared that he had
come to the convention as candidate flor County
Attorney, but that he had heard on the street and
in the hotels that was the time to punish
boilers Such language be considered as pointing
to himself because he voted for Baker for sheriff
| instead of Norton, three years ago. So he mag
unanimously withdrew, as Il canddate-Which was
| manlfestly unnecessary Us lie stood no chance of
a nomination. With quite IL flourish he offered ii
resolution that liquor shops are nurseries of vice
| and demanding Of the sheriff OF this county the
abatement of all such places" The resolution WAS
adopted, Runnclls speech was briefly replied to
by Mr., Cook, OF Jackson, and characterized as
slang. \ lively row seemed imminent but Just
then the committee on credentials made its report
There were i'll all LIB delegates present Isesboro
alone being unrepresented. Soon the nominations
began: the first in order was for two Senators:
and l. NJ. Boardman, Of Belfast and Orrin Leonard,
Of Burnham, nominated by reclamation
For County Attorney Geo F.. johnson of Belfast
was nominated by accamation.
| Mr.. Cook now arose and moved that the nomna-
ton Of Register OF Deeds be made by bnllot-as
the only fair way OF getting at the true voice of

several friends of Bracket but was finally carried

Secretary Schurz made Il good point
for the administration in his speech at
the Schuetzan banquet in Washington.
Speaking of the recent extensive riots,
he said At the close of the war of the
rebellion, it was predicted that, should
the northern section of the Republic ever
become the scene Of internal violence or
a foreign war threaten the country, the
South would avail itself Of the opportuni-
ty to reopen the conflict of the rebellion
The aspect of affairs last week seemed to
me to be the moment when such a course
was possible, but the South has come for
ward with offers Of men and money to
put down this violence and maintain the
supremacy of this Government"

Hon. n. ii. Stevens says he is more
hopeful OF the country now than since
1856. Said he: Light is breaking Mr.
Hayes is doing what Mr.. Tilden never
could have done. Had Tilden attempted
what Hayes has accomplished we would
have had another civil war. The reyolu-
ton of sentiment in the North is some
thing wonderful, and indicates Il return
to right principles. | think the inaugur-
alton of MIR. Hayes was equal, in the good
it has effected to the abdication of James
III, of England, and | think that events
since that time have conspired to produce
great results and prevent great evils.
In my opinion the people Of the South,
outside of party, should sustain and aid
him in his policy of paciticaton. told
Mr.. Hayes that he should cut loose from
party and give the people good govern
ment and paciticaton, and seven tenths
of the people would uphold him. advised
him, moreover, not to have a hand in the
Speakers election, but to appeal to the
country on the strength of his own exec
utive right-doing."
Mr.. Ira NJ True of Hallowell, has demonstrated
most conclusively during the past six months the
benefits to be derived from strict adherance to

his house, and made other additions to his prem

RATHER MORE CHEERFUL.

LONDON, Aug. ,. Full details of the
battle before Plevna confirm the previous
reports, and the loss Of the battle appears
attributable to a lack of support of
Schackoskoy's movements by Krudener.
The latter was too slow; the former too
rapid. The positions taken by Setback
oskoy were recovered by the Turks, who
swarmed and overwhelmed Insight force,
and the slaughter was terrible.

the situation, says he thinks the panic in
Roumania groundless. The Plevna de-
feat will certainly be retrieved. Discuss

positions in Balkans, if obliged to retire
to them, the correspondent, who recently
