velopments for thieving, perjury and
forgery. The details show they stole

vate use.

TIE SECOND MAINE DISTRICT.

The telegraph brings US the news of the
nomination of Hon. WILLIAM p. FRYE, of
the second district Of Maine, for election to
his fifth term in Congress. His district is
one of the most important in New England,
stretching from the coast - Canada line,
and including the ship-building on the
kennebec River, the large manufacturing
cities of Lewiston and Auburn, the lumber
and agricultural industries of Oxford and
Franklin Counties. Mr FRYE has been
unremitting in watching the interests of
his constituents and caring for their varied
and ever-present wants. He has been one
of the ablest and most efficient men in tn c
House-possessed 0I broad aud enlightened
craftsmanship. He has ever been liberal
in his views as to the needs Of the country,
taking just pride in this city as the Capt.
tai of the nation. He is an earnest adyo-
cate of all great moral reforms-in word.
man for the times always in the van
where the cause of freedom and human
rights are to be defended, or the principles
Of the Republican party are assailed.
While he is comparatively a young man,
he has been nearly quarter of century
in public life and never yet disappointed
those who have trusted him. We trust
that the Republicans of his district will see
to it that he is triumphantIy reelected,
and thus in honoring him they honor
themselves
