THE FALL CAMPAIGN.

THE MAINE REPUBLICANS FIGHTING PoR
HARD MoNEY-GEN. BUTLER OUT OF THE
RACE FOR CONGRESS.
New YORK, July 30.-The Herad's
Portland, Maine, special says: The Repub-
lican state committee has been in session
discussing the prospects of the campaign.
Only one question came up prominently,
and that is the attitude of the
party on the finance qucs-
ton. The sweep which the
Greenback element has made in all the dis
tricts OF the state, make it necessary for the
Republicans to declare themselves squarely
The entire congressional delegations are
here, including the venerable Hannibal
Hamlin. Mr.. Blaine fought for the word
coin while Hamlin, Ferry, Hale and
Powers insisted on the old hard-moncy plat
form OF gold or its equivalent" Hamlin
and his followers insisted that the only way
to save the party was to come out
squarely for hard money, raise the
old war cry and rally the entire
voting strength of the party for a
final struggle. Blaine, who took a
lbslliDU III congress Ill luNOl vi sllNtl, lllulll-
tanned that the new dollar is now part of
the currency and the word coin would be
more in harmony with the views of large
portion Of the Republicans, and its plat
form would keep the money men, who now
lean toward the Greenback doctrine, from
seeding. There is a general desire to keep
this question out of the convention. 1t is
understood that the gold men succeeded in
carrying their point and the party will 90
into the. campaign to try the conclusions
with the Grecnbackcrs on an out-and-out
hard money platform.

versation with "A friend. has declared that

terday, Mr.. Pollock presiding. The treaty
was read and discussed. Messrs. Charles
p. Chouteau, of st. Louis, Calre, of Louis.
lana, and Leon Chotteau, the French com.
missioner, were appointed committee ON
organization. Another committee consist
ing of Mcssrs. Kinard, of Boston, Rhodes. of
Washington, and Lozier, of New York,
were nominated to confer with the American
government commissioners.
At a preliminary meeting of the delegates
to the congress held yesterday, the draft of
a treaty was submitted and will be dis.
cussed at future meeting. 1t is proposed
that the French government shall engage
TO admit all American productions at the
same rate as are imposed on the most fav-
oret nations, and the United State shall
make the same engagement regarding the
productions of France, that if either nation
imposes domestic duty upon its own pro-
auctions, the same duty may be imposed on
the productions Of the other party of the
treaty.
The feeling in French commercial and
political circles is not altogether favorable
TO NJ. Chotteau's proposed special treaty
with the United States. and some of the
Americans in Paris seem to doubt its ex-
pediency and also the probability of the
American congress conscnting to such con.
cessions as France would be sure to ask

GOLD SINC,Sr ADVICE

The Esmeralda, Nevada, Herald has
heard Sine Barnes talk: Now my son.
never interrupt an old man when he is tell
ing about the good old days of 49," said
sine Barnes to u saucy youngster, as he
grabbed him in the act Of trying his pea
shooter on SINGS nose as he sat in the shade
on Novacovch's corner with lot of old bows
exchanging "reminiscences of early DAYS.
NO, my son, never fool with any of the
old-timers-there are mighty few left;
they are getting old and feeble: their
shadows are falling far to the eastward;
IN few years there will be none left,
and then you and the rest of the hood
lums can come to the front and say as how
you were personally acquainted with
old Colonel Baker, Senator Broderiek,
Lola Montez, Ralston, J. p. Jones, Sharon,
Jim Fair, Mackey, Flood and OBrien, a
great deal better than am with you, and
slept with them, and ate with them, and
loaned them twenty when they were SO
poor that they did not have dollar in the
world, and not decent shirt to their backs;
and tell about men who are not near as IL
bcral nowadays. No, my son, do not poster
the old boys. Let them indulge in their
little sports Of whisky drinking pedro and
swapping lies, and pattern after them so
that when you are old, baldheaded, and
carry a big bass drum under your vest, you
will be a shining, profitable light to the
coming generation. See here. If I ever
catch you playing any more tricks on the
old man | will break you in two--gitw
And Sine settled back, tired out after so
much unaccustomed talking, while the boy
shot around the corner.

Peanut Coal Shaft.

The Monitor Inder says that the Peanut chad
a very narrow escape from being flooded again,
Wednesday evening. The immense quantity OF
water that fell Tuesday night and Wednesday was
the cause Of raising Coal Run Creek higher than
it has been at any time this season, but fortunate
ly the work that has hcen performed in changing
the current Of the creek prevented any serious nc
cdent. The 'sluicc' was tried to its utmost ca
pacity and for short time it overlooked, and the
flats surrounding it were one mass of water The
slope was damned SO as to prevent the water
from running into the mine from that point.
When the water was at the highest point it was a
trying moment to know whether the four or five
weeks work that had been performed was all to
be wasted. In Il short time the water passed
away, without any serious results further than Il
severe scare, and with it came great relief to
those interested"
We understand that the body Of Con. Ryan,
who was drowned in the mine when it was flood.
ed was found on Wednesday last in room near

the columns Of the Times and has replied through

or two ago he caused letter to be published pur-
porting to be written by the girl herself, (who
he claims is in Chicago stopping with some
friends,) denying every charge and protesting his
as well rs her own innocence, and stating rs the
cause of her departure that she was prosecuted
and frightened by the "mischieyous women Of
the neighbOrhood." Little faith is put in this
communication, however, rs it is believed to have
been eXtorted by the guilty uncle. The affair
has been the absorbing topic Of the neighbour
hood during the week. and one or two ncpnnt
demonstrations Of violence have been made, but
the sight Of Il battery Of two cooked reyOvcrs and

The following from the Streator Free Press
is detailed account of the death of Mr.. A. Tn
derhill by lightning, briefly mentioned in our
last:
During the storm of Wednesday afternoon
lightning struck the house of Mr.. AlunZo Under
hill, farmer and son-inlaw of Mr.. o. H. Head,
of this city, living about eight miles east of town,
instantly killing him and shocking some others
of the family. He sitting tipped back against
the side of the room, leaning on 4 melodcon,
when the lightning struck the roof and ran down
the side OF the house TO where he was, when it
seemed to strike both the melodcon and his body.
lie sprang up, turned partly around and fell
forward on his knees, with one hand ciutching
the bed, and in that condition was found; stone
dead. Willie Head, who has been living there
this summer, was sitting at the opposite end of
the melodeon, but probably not touching it. He
was badly stunned and blinded by the shock, but
recovered in few moments and running into
the kitchen told the hired girl that Alonzo was
killed by lightning. little child was lying on
the bed in the room, and the girl running in saw
the room full of electricity, so she grabbed up
the child and fed to the stable Mrs. Underhiil
was teaching school at II school house some dis
tance away, and Willie started out after her. He
first went to the stable for horse, but when he
got there he found that his arms had been so
paralyzcd by the shock that he could not put Il
bride on. He then ran on foot and told his sis
ter, and when she returned she found her hus-
band still in the position in which Willie had first
noticed him, on his knees leaning forward and
graspng the bed. The bolt seemed to have
struck him just behind the right ear, passin =
down over his chest, burning strip an inch or
so wide to about the groin, where it stopped. II
is sad case, and the young wife left dcsolate
and the little child left fathcrless have the deep
est sympathy Of the people in this community.
The funeral took place yesterday at 10 O'clock,
the remains being Inferred in the Brock cemetery.
