half the truth has not been told about bull
doing. Mr. Blaine has reminded the
country that the South is even better off
politically than it was before the
war. The bulldozed blacks give almost
as little trouble as the slaves gave in the
way of voting; where the South gains is
in the fact that, in making up the ratio OF

The National orations delivered this
year gave no uncertain sound. They
went straight to the mark. No better
tributes to the patriot dead have been ut
tered since the war. The Grafton in this
city by Rev ii. w. Tilden was listened to
by an audience that packed Granite Hall
full, and most heartily approved the elo-
quent, sound, stalwart, sincere and noble
utterances of the orator. Speaker and au-
dience were imperfect sympathy from first
to last. The Grafton in Halowell by Rev.
MIR. Howard OF Bangor was also Il very
able and telling effort. The revival of
patriotism throughout all the North since
the opening of the extra session is one of
manifest power.

The third veto message is as strong a
document as the two which preceded it,
1t completes the democratic demoraliza-
ton. Wasp-like, says the Traveller, its
sting is in its tail. The President, sharply
and with entire accuracy, defines the bill
as one that recognizes the authority and
duty of the United States to appoint SUI
pervisors to guard and scI1Itinize the Con-
government of the United States all the
power to make its supervision effectual."
The three vetoes complete the issue for
the people. The democracy came into the
extra session eager to ''put themselves on
record and clamorous for "a new issue
on which to go to the country" They
are on record and they have got their new
issue, And yet they do not appear to be
entirely happy. They have assailed the
constitutional power Of the Executive,
Wanted their purpose of expunging all
the Legislation Of the war period and re-
storing the state of affairs that ruled up to
1861, and have now wound up by demand
ing free fraud at the polls, and the subor-
dination of the Federal to the State au-
thority. to the end that the freedom of
fraud may be doubly sure. The republic
can Executive has met them at every one
of these points with an emphatic mega
tive.

Colby University Notes.
The Colby nine played with the Skowhe-
gan Reds Friday and won the game Score
10 to 3. This was great surprise to the
Skowhegan people, as the Reds anticipated
an easy victory after the crushing defeat of
Colby last Saturday. The Colbys had their
outs and in first inning ran in five scores,
hence after this it was an uphill game for the
Reds. This club made some sad errors but
in many parts of the game showed skillful
playing. Perhaps the finest play was stop
and catch by Leavitt :. s. The Colby nine
played well throughout The playing and
catching was excellent. The PLAYING of the
new men DenniSon G. I. and Shaw LIST b.. was
especially complimentcd. The visiting club
were handsomely entertained at Turner
House and received excellent treatment from
the Reds. The next game with this club will
be played at Watcrville. Thc'B Bates did not
play here Saturday owing to the illness of
their pitcher, it is said. The Colby nine ex-
pect to appear in new uniform in Il few days.
The seniors have secured the following
