Uncertain Buying.

The Sale of Unclaimed Packages at
the r., W. d b. X. Il. Freight
! House.
The sale of unclaimed packages,
barrels, boxes, &C., remaining at the
freight depot of the r., W. 4 b. X. r., in
this city, commenced this morning at 10
o'clock at the freight house, corner of
Fourth and Pine streets. The attend
ance was good but the bidding was not
very spirited owing to the fact that in
many cases the purchaser did not know
what he was buying. In cases where the
articles could be seen, such asstoves, bed
steads, sewing machines, grain drills and
various articles of household furniture,
the prices obtained were good. Of course
in the majority of cases the articles were
boxed, and as the purchasers did not
seem inclined to investigate the contents
before the crowd, ii is impossible TO state
what they contained, except in enc case
where gentleman purchased box for
IS cents, and upon opening it he found
to his astonishment that 1t contained
sixty-five old Hostetter's Almanacs. A
new grain drill was sold tor So to a
gentleman of this city. l.. W. Stdham
X Son were the auctiuneers.

President Hayes at Chicago.
REMARKS ON RESUMPTION.

President Hayes was publicly received by the
Chicago Board of Trade, Friday and made q
speech in which he said "We have passed
through a period Of business depression during
the last five years. For more than q year pas, il
has been my impression that the cause of that de-
preston had gradually disappeared aud that nd-
cations of better times could be seen, and il is nv
impression to-day that that which has stponed
restoration Of business activity in our county
during the last year or year and half has not
been any real cause for the depression, but the
lack of confidence in the business community and
instability of legislation; that if year ago
there could have been among the business men
IN the county, every where, confidence in what
Is to be tue policy Of the government,
think we should have better times to day.
Applause Then, my friends the few plain
words wish to say are these: Let us now, let
us ia The immediate future, do all that we can to
secure 10 inspire hope and confidence in the busi.
mes. community and II any instability ia our leeis.

The Southern Democracy

1t Is necessary to discriminate between
attempts TO revive the use of the ''bloodv

cate the temper aud tactics of the South

The Southern question in its old form is
dead. Events have removed it from the
arena OF strife, and the party zeal that
would seek its restoration regardless of ac.
conplished facts is entitled to little con.
sideraiion. A controversy which has
passed beyond the jurisdiction of the Fed

The republican party of Maine never
stood in better fighting trim than now, nor
were its prospects ever brighter for the
future. An analysis of the figures, pub
lished yesterday, of the Gubernatoral
vote, will show that we have made clear
gains in every county in the State but two
Knox. and Waldo-throwing a. vote
much larger than that of last year. 1t is
not party of COW ards; it reaches out nc
friendly hands to such. Those who dc
not stand squarely on the main issue Of
honest money-the regulators, the infla.
tionists, the communists, by whatever name
they are known-will find no congenial
companionship within the ranks of the re.
publican party but in its sure victory on
the platform OF national honor and integ.
rity it invites the active sympathy and par.
ticipatlon of every true man who believes
In sound currency for the government
and the people as well.
