agricultural and manufacturing pur-
suits, but we deprecate that Republican
policy which, having destroyed our
Ship building. placed the carrying trade
of the products of our soil i'll the con-
troll of foreign flags and almost banished
our flag from the seas and imperilled
the pursuit OF fishing among our hardy
population, has rewarded Great Britain
with spoils she never could have con.
duered, and abandoned the trident OF
the seas to her hands.
We require that the candidates OF this
convention should represent the Demo
cratic principles as to the conduct OF
both National and State affairs, that
well-meaning men may give their votes
where Democratic men and measures
lead the way. All regard the civil dam
age bill, passed by the Republican Legis-
lature, as violation OF the Constitution
of the United States, impairing the su-
premacy OF the laws made in pursuance
thereof, and as an encouragement OF
perjury and blackmailing in
this State. No question con-
cerning the wisdom OF abstinence,
and the propriety yofmoderation OF the sin
of drunkenness is involved in the detest-
alton which every honest man ought
to feel at the contemptuOus disregard OF
the personal and religious freedom that
breaks out in this law. The Presiden-
tial election in 1876 and the subsequent
election of a Democratic majority In
each house of Congress, demonstrate
the ascendancy of Democratic prln-
ciples among the people in the States OF
this Union. We remind every Demo-
crat that bv uniting hearts and hands
i'm support of the regular organization,
the triumph OF those principles and
candidates in 1880 will be assured, and
we affirm that Democrats who separate
from the regular organization in order
To promote the election OF either OF the
Republican candidates for Governor, are
pursuing course of evil example to the
regular organization OF Democrats
throughout the Union and are imperil-
ing the vital interests OF the Democratic
brotherhood of the Union. We call on
every true and tried Democrat of Massa-
chusetts to search his heart for his faith
and stand up and be counted in the or
ganization with those who avOw eternal
enmity to that rule OF monopoly, cor
ruptiOn and oppression, with its revClu-
tionary tendency to seat Presidents by
fraud and substitute despotism for con-
stitutional government which the Re-
publican party promotes.
The last resolution heartily cOmmends
the nominees to the Massachusetts De
mOcracy.
The ticket was completed as follows:
For Lieutenant-GOvernor, w. Z. Plum

The Stove Mouldcrs' Strike.

LOUISVILLE, October THE stove
moulders at the various foundries, yes
terday, made demand for an advance
Of l5 per cent. and all, except one or two
places, are idle to-day. Both employers
and men take the matter CoOlly and are
remaining on friendly. terms, quietly
awaiting developments. The strike now
going on in Cincinnati will determine
tina result, in most instance, here. At
the Lthagrow Manufacturing Com
pany's foundry about 100 men are on
strike. There are 80 moulders who have
stopped work and have thereby thrown
out of work others who work in other
departments. At Bridgciord d Co. s
foundry-all the wpulders who belong to
the union are off with the
strikers. \ few nOn-union
men and most OF the mechanics in the
other departments than the moulding
room are at work At Dennis, Long
& Co.'S pipe foundry the proprietors
took time by the iorclock and the wages
OF the moulders were advanced week
ago. The laborers have been informed
that their pay will also be increased by
corresponding amount, dating from
Yesterday. Fischer, Leaf d Co. also
enjoy the comfort OF strike among
their men. There is also some trouble
in the Nashville railroad shops; the men
are at work and the officers of the road
do not anticipate strike among them.
The hands at w. T. Tapp K Co. s bagging

The colored boy Pierce goes around
the track with his eyes partly closed and
suffers for want Ofrest. Near II o'clock
he made rush for the entrance to his
room, intending to 90 to sleep, but a
stout and brutal looking fellow, who is
his backer, canght him by the arms and
flung him out on the track. He insist
ell on the cOlored mans keeping along,
although il was apparent to every one
that he was staggering from exhaus-
tiOn. He threw bay rum and perfume
i'm his face to keep him awake. The poor
fellow trotted along and his efforts to
heep his eyes open were painful.
Behrman, who was knOwna as the Ancient
Mariner of the race, finished his Tooth
mile and one lap at ll:25 and then
told the Judge he had got enough OF 1t.
His wife and friends packed up his traps
and they took their departure Tor

that he could walk 100 miles and win n

Novel Scene on Board.

MOBILE, October THE Spanish brig
Deligentes was wrecked to-day, while
coming over the lower bar in charge OF
the pilot The disaster seems to have
been the result of an attempt to ego
about" with strong head wind. The
pilot, Ned Dorgan, asked the captain il
his ship worked easy, and receiving an
affirmative answer, made the necessary
maneouvcrs, but she missed the stays
and went ashore stern foremost. When
the captain saw that the loss OF the ves-
sci was inevitable, he drew a revolver
and fired three shots at Dorgan, who at
once jumped overheard, followed by the
irate captain. A sailor also threw him.
self fnto the bay to aid his superior Of
fcer, but both were drowned. Dorgan
and nine sailors swan ashore safely.
