from the Fourth District, made speech The
Doctor for this occasion was Greenbacker.

congratulated the convention on their indie

taken place. He said he had seen so many
rows in Congress that rows didn't scare him.
The Greenback idea is becoming very popular.
A monstrous fight is impending between the
Greenbackers and the Money Power. Mr..
Ladd proceeded to relate his exploits in Con-
gress. He was riding up to the Capitol one
day in q chariot when some one asked him if
the people weren't never going to stop sending

! "They didn't know me-" naively said Mr.
| Ladd. He went into the Democratic caucus
| to make proselytes. The Chairman had told
him that if the caucus did anything he didn't
believe in he wasn't bound by it. He went on
to denonnce John Sherman as the tool of the
money power and discussed the subsidiary
silver bill (Which by the way Mr.. Ladd persis-

Ladd had but just begun telling his audience

grew husky, and Mr.. Amos Packard of Bangor
essayed apparently the role of a good samari
tan and sent some one for glass of water
The glass of water was brought and with
countenance childlike and bland, Packard
handed it to the Doctor. If Pickard had said
nothing the Doctor would have gone on telling
what he had "heerd until the shades of even

deal in his brief Congressional experience
But Packard was one of the committee to re-

ity to tell the convention whom they had nomi-
mated for governor. Being fellow townsman
of the doctor he knew the soundness of his
wind and this glass of water was ruse to choke
him off. So when he handed the water he re-
marked with charming naivete that while the
doctor was clearing his throat he would read

Portland, Saco & Portsmouth Railroad
The report of the directors of the Portland,
Saco & Portsmouth Railroad states that the
relations with the Eastern RAILROAD continue
to be of most satisfactory character. The
road as leasee has promptly paid its rental, and
the joint notes referred to in the contract of
settlement some time since On the first OF
July next the whole amount will be paid
the outstanding 600 of the joint liability
clearing off every obligation and discharging
the temporary mortgage of the road. The
report further stated that the Eastern Railroad
had extended the same policy as to repairs on
this ffty-four miles of road that had been
shown in its own road. One end of the stone
bridge at Kennebunk had been rebuilt; the
pile bridge at Portland was to be. Steel rails
ffty-eight pounds to the yard, had been laid
there are now twenty-five miles of this rail
and before long all but fifteen miles of the
road will be thus laid. The road has been i'm
proved, and thirteen miles of new fence built
new freight depot at Eliot has been erected
as well as depot at North Berwick for the
joint use of the Eastern and Boston & Maine
roads. The report quotes from the report Of
the railroad commissioner of the State o.

All this time there had been scene OF con-
fusion perfectly indescribable. Almost every
| delegate on the floor had something to say
with no chance to say it. "For Gods sake
keep ORDER shouted one delegate on the floor.
A dozen cried ''Mr. Chairman at the same
moment. 'Sit down behind, theee'' said Mr..
E. R. Pierce who was frantcally rushing about
on the front of the platform and thought the
disorder was all behind him. "That's the
most ungentemanly set of men [ ever saw on
the platform shouted some one in the gal
leries. Josh Emery undertook to speak froms
the floor but he was suppressed by shouts OF
PUT him out" "Put him out" "He's not a
delegate nor even Greenbacker." Everybody
was yelling. Rust was worn out with his
efforts to still the crowd, Croker could do
nothing and the windy Fogg had shouted in
vain. There was only one resort and that wa
the band So the band was motioned to and
struck up Keller's American Hymn. After
they got through the Chairman announced
that Scion Chase's amendment had been
adopted, and the tail was finally put on the
right end of the dog.
What all the row had been about nobody
seemed to know. Some said that the anti-com-
munistic plank had excited the trouble, and
that Fogg, who is popularity believed to bt
thirsting for the blood of his fellow councillor
because they refused to accept his report OF
the liquor agency, saw in this resolution {
warning that he would not be sustained in hi
murderous designs by his fellow Greenback
ers. Others said that Fogg was opposed to thu
coinage of gold and silver at, all and wanted t.
attack the resolutions that favored this. TIL,
majority of the convention didn't know prob
ably what the row was about or care. 1t wa
, an agreeable change from the dizziness of tn
forenoon and they welcomed it.
