Yesterday was indeed an eventiul day
in the life of lady in West Jackson
street. During trip on the street ears
to State street and back she saw the
lovcliost polonaise pattern she ever saw
in her life, the handsomest fellow she
ever saw in her life, got the worst
frightened she ever got in the life from
the drunkeuost man che ever saw in her
life, saw the homeliest woman she ever
saw in her life, never was SO insulted in
her life as she was from young man
who spoke to her on the car, and finally
got homo feeling more tired than she
ever felt in her lite.-From the Chicago

MOnday,s Battle.

On Monday next the Republicans will
score their twenty-tirst victory in Maine.
They ought to win by large majority, but
this they cannot do unless they go to work.
The god of battles does not provide for the
lame and the lazy.
We should not be content with an ordinary
majority. Our opponents have forced upon
us an issue which, though it is Of no practical
Importance, may, unless we dispose of it place
us apparently in the wrong. They have gone
into the campaign with the cry that Presi-
dent Hayes is usurper, and that the Repub-
election by gross frauds and in defiance of the
constitutionally expressed will of the people.
On these charges the Republicans join issue
with their opponents. They desire an ex-
preston of the sentiment of the people of
Maine in regard to the electoral commission
and its decision. The only fear is that the
expression will not be full one.
Our opponents are hard at work and hope
to gain some advantages in sections of the
state where they are not in so considerable a
minority as to deprive them Of all chances of
success. They have been quietly organizing
and are in condition to make good fight.
The quarrel over the letter of their candidate
for governor will diminish his vote but will
affect county and legislative tickets little.
The Republicans on the contrary are so SAN
guine of success that they are doing little to
deserve it. They have too great a contempt
for the enemy. They feel, like the confident
boy, that they can put one arm behind them
"and lick him with the other" But the
Maine Democrat is too lusty fellow to take
any such chances with. If we are going to
pound him we must be at work, and with
both hands too.

Sparks from the Bangor Commercial.


The Chairman of the Democratic State
Committee has presented a poisoned chalce
to the lips of the Democracy of Maine.
Those who drink of it next Monday NAV
find it s'sweet in the mouth" but it will be
''bitter in the belly" Those who cast it
aside will do well.
Should the first returns from MONDAYS
election be little unfavorable to Williams,
those who have confidence in the strategy OF
Mr.. Chairman Pillsbury must not be dis
heartened. He does not rely on the cities to
demonstrate the wisdom of bis mastery
scheme. His faith is in the rural districts
and Kennebec county. Wait till you hear
from Madawaska odd the regions about Cob
bossecontee pond.
Several days ago we reminded our dear
Brother Pillsbury, who Is Chairman of the
the Democratic State Committee, he who
has planned and is executing the most mag
nidcent political campaign that was ever con-
ceiyed on the soil OF free country, The
who by his mastery strategy has amazed a
majority of his party into utter bewilder-
ment-we reminded this dear Brother OF ours,
we say, some time ago, that our allies on our
right consisting Of 1900 Hayes Republicans
and our allies on our left, consisting OF 10000
Prohibitionists, we're in full retreat, and had
left the hanks OF our devoted Democratic
army terribly exposed.
At the time we supposed that the retreat
was with the full knowledge aud under the
orders of our great Commander-in-Ch Chief, for
purely strategic purposes. But now we con-
fess that we are getting nervous. The hour
of battle is close at hand. The enemy are
bearing down upon us in overwhelming num-
bers, and there are some among them that
look amazingly like those allies that we so re-
Gently saw Gin Imagination at least) on our
right and left flank. There are plumes there
that look like those that float from the helms
of Arson P. Morrill,, Josh Nye, Neal Dow, Ed
win Noyes, Josh Chamberlain and Sam
Spring. Our vision indeed may be affected
by our own extreme nervousness; but yet we
fec it our duty to impart our fears and ap-
prehensions to our calm, confident and eagle
eyed Generalissimo. We have swept the
whole horizon with our field glass, and we can
nowhere see vestigs of those allies in our
rear. They are certainly not within support
ing distance.
We appeal unto Eben to lift up his voice
and summon those recreant allies to the bat
tie and the front. In the language of Elijah
to the Balaamites on Mt. Carmel, we implore
him to "Cry unto them aloud; for they are
are gods. Either they are talking; or they
are in journey: or peradventure they are
sleeping and must be awakenedp'

The Democratic rebels in Bangor have
finally cut entirely loose from the Williams
candidature, and have placed John C. Talbot
in nomination for Governor. The Com
merciaI faunts the following donble-leaded
article at the head of its editorial columns
Let no Democrat think, because Mr.. Will
liams's name is placed at the head of the col
umn of convention nominations, that we sup-
port him for Governor, or shall vote for him at
the polls. We keep his name there as q mon
ument OF the folly of convention betrayed
and deceived by the counsels of men who have
for years sought to disorganize and disbapd the
Democratic party of Maine Vote for John @.
Talbot, or cut Wlliams's name from the ticket.
1t further says:
We have received many letters from differ
ent sections of the state inquiring for whom it
is best to vote for Governor next Monday.
Thousands upon thousands of Democrats feel
that they cannot svote for Williams. and there
by confess that Hayes title to the Presidency
is legal and that the decisions of the Electoral
Commission were judicially right. so far as
we can learn there is a general disposition
among those who feel that they must vote for
Governor, to cast their ballots for John O. Tai
bot, the candidate of last year. We know of
no better or truer man in the state than him.
THAT must have been touching scene at
Augusta the other night when the CORY
trowsered Zouaves serenaded Mr.. Williams.
The Standard thus sympathetically mentions
it: "The visitors were then led to the tables
near at hand and found that for cold
hearted man Mr.. Williams had provided
bountifully for the wants Of the inner man.
Remarks of appreciation were heard on every
hand. One man said nothing very icy abont
this another, it won't be safe for any one
to call Mr.. Williams cold-hearted in my hear
ing" Such gratitude on the part Of the
men whom Mr.. Williams so bountifuly fed,
restores ones confidence in human nature.
Let no man dare to call the Democratic can
ddate cold in the presence of the red-legged
gentry unless he pines to be strangled in his
own gore.
OUR excellent representative ticket ought
to command the enthusiastic support Of
every Republican in Portland. Show your

GOLD is down to 1O34-the lowest figure
since 1852. At this price the preenback dol
lar is worth about 81 cents, and the discount
is less than it was on some of our old state
notes even in time of specie payments. With
our large exports and the shipments of gold
from England and the resumption policy of
the Treasury, the tendencyis still downward.
1t will take but little further decline to make
the greenbacks equivalent to gold, and leave
only the problem of substitution, the proper
proportion of coin for paper in our regular
currency. With such progress towards re.
sumption, it is certainly no time to talk of in
terrupting the natural operations which are
working out this result.
