SATURDAYS FIREs.-At 1.45 p. m, an alarm
from box Al called the fire department to The
boarding house occupied by Mrs. Baker on the
corner cf Spring and State streets. A fire was
discovered in the partition in the Railways. 1t
was very difficult to reach the flames, but they
were confined to the first and second stories
aud the loss was more from waite r than by fire.
The rooms occupied by Mr.. Ira Crocker and
Mr.. Frank M. Clement, were the only ones
that suffered The furniture was removed
from the halls. Mr.. Crocker has S25OO iusur-
ance with Anderson & Dow, and Mr. Clement
$1,000 with Dow, Coffin & Libby. Mrs. Baker
has $1,000 in the Home of New York with the
latter firm, and Mr.. Peleg Barker, who owns
the house, is insured for $4,000 with Rollins,
Loring & Adams. The damage to the house
will probably not be over 500.
At 10 o'clock in the evening an alarm from
box q was occasoned by a slight fire in the
store of E. W. BucKnam on Fore street. The
fire evidently caught from the stove, and the
partition had just caught when the department
arrived. A stream from one of the steamers
extinguished it after $1OO damage had been
done. The building was insured.

From the Boston Traveller
The Duty of Success.

The republican party is the party of law and Or
der, of liberty and equality, of progress and en-
lightenment and the deplorable condition OF
the Southern States at this time, we'll as the un-
settled condition of various great questions of
State policy, demands Of il united and untiring
effort to engrat its character upon the conduct of
public affairs. For nearly twenty years it has
shaped the policy Of the country, and in spite of
the croaking Pharisees and the neglected states
men, it is the only party organization to VIII ich,
to-day, upon fair issue. the people of the United
States would dare to entrust the conduct of their
business. The duty of the republican party then
is to harmonze upon the chief articles of faith,
and win victory from pending political campaigns
in the different States.
II is we'll to recollect that there is one possible
result of the present political controversies which
would be worse than that which must come from
the policy and that is the victory of the origina
States right party. The nation can withstand the
one sided compromise" known as the policy, and
from its effects without serious shock but
it cannot promise itself future under the absolut
immediate control Of the ex-Confederate chief
tains, with their revolutionary dogmas and the r
lawless practices. Let every republican recolect
that republican principles can be upheld only by
the republican organization, and that we can pre-
serve the fruits of republican effort in the past
only by holding fast to every point Of advantage,
Republican victory this year is a duty with which
every republican should be impressed.

Gov. COnnOr's Remarks at the
Bennington Centennial.

Governor Conner was introduced and spoke as
follows;
This government is ours and that was all the
founders OF American government said at the
commencement. "The fee simple, &C. is ours this
country, with its atmosphere its wealth and pow
err in fee simple, IS ours; and. God giving the
strength and capacity, we will maintain it."
have repeated what will preserve this liberty that
distinguishes our country. 1t Is truth-it is the
truth that makes men free. Nothing but this will
| make us SO. 1t is that which nerved our fathers
patriots, and statesmen and heroes-whose grand
acts we are here to celebrate. Vermont and
Maine are the only two New England States that
were not among those which established the fed
| eral U mon. So stands the record. The fact
| mains that Vermont was with them, if she was
not of them; that one hundred years ago, when
| the result of the contest for American ndepend-
| ence wavering in the balance, there was q
| formed and declared love of liberty, which has
| never ceased to maintain its existence. Not de-
| crees of court or dictates of king resolutions
OF Congress could prevent defeat the efforts of
| a State that was struggling into being a century
ago. 1t derived its sanction from higher authori
! ~ than these. 1t rested firmly upon the will Of
| the people, who knew their rights, and knowing
dared maintain them. What strenuous liberty
WAS theirs struggling to protect themselves from
State which not only demanded their allegiance,
but their homesteads and landshard earned fruits
of their toll They fought for the cause of human
rights and freedom. They had the pride and pa
| triotism that came down from the old heroes to
their descendants who exhibited that spirit in the
| armies Of the Potomac and the giores OF Gettys-
burg. The occasion was most prolific IN stirring
the reflections of patriotism and dear to the lover
Of all that is just and brave were the memories of
those fathers of this Commonwealth who be-
questhcd to this country noble freedom loving
State and an example which will ever tend to
make the spirit Of liberty fresh and beautiful as
the slopes Of the green hills which they loved and
ssttled for.

A despatch from Portland says there is
talk of a mass convention OF Administra-
ton republicans in Maine for the purpose
of endorsing Gov. Conner. The same
dispatch adds that if the convention is
held, strong movement will be made
among the opponents of Mr.. Blaine to
nominate a candidate to draw off votes
from Common. A particularly wild des-
patch. The man who sent it evidently
needs to be embraced in "the Murphy

OF the Maine republican platform the
Albany Journal says: The platform on
the whole is satisfactory. Its financial
plank is in refreshing contrast to that
adopted in Ohio last week; its treatment
of national affairs is all that could reason
ably have been expected from a conven-
ton composed of men having strong con-
nicting convictions while in other re-
spects its deliverances were for the most
part wise and timely. Senator Blaine, in
his characteristic speech, counseled the
delegates to unite on a strong platform
embracing the issues which they held in
common and to be tolerant of each others
opinions. The platform was adopted in
tina tspirit and should be judged in that
spirit
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1877-08-18

The Boston Advertiser speaking OF the
platform adopted by the democrats at
Portland says:
They are silent on all the issues of the day,
they insult those whom 1t was their policy TO
cajole, by denouncng the installation OF the
President as a fraud aud In reference to what the
President has done they speak in an Extensively
patronizing and ostentatiously sulky tone. 1t Is
much better so. The republicans may have been
divided before, but they must unite against such
an atrocous platform. Nobody. perhaps, would
have believed IN the sincerity of the democrats If
they had pretended non partisanshp in their reso
lutlons as well as in their candidate; but discon
tented republicans might have persuaded them
selves to vote for Mr.. Williams under the circum-
stances. We do not tee bow they can do so now.
Those who might have boltcd are men who believe
the President righttuly where he Is, and that
he has doue right. The democrats ask them to say
that he 10 there by fraud, but that they will not
make any iactous opposition to him at present.
by this amazing bunder the democrats have
snoothed the way for the republicans, who will
bave an easy canvass aud n handsome victory.
