Public Opinion.

The Manchester Mirror makes an
apology for New Hampshire's being the
birthplace of two of the Maine con-
spiratOrs thus: "Pillsbury, the chief
plotter of Maine, and FOgg, the foul
mouthed brawler, are both natives of
New Hampshire, but we hope the good
people of Down East won't lay it up
against our state that it allowed such a
pair to escape. About the time they
went away the state prison was very
full, and we had no reform school,"
The Manchester Mirror thinks this
''favOrite son" business is played out,
and calls for a republican candidate
who can carry New York and New
Jersey-no matter what section he is
from.
A CALL FOR MEN OF CHARACTER.
Joshua L. Chamberlain's position be-
fore the country ought to be lesson to
young men of ambition that, while the
politicians can make nothing but office
holders, character makes man-in the
long run the more valuable product.
For ten years past cabal of politicians
has kept Chamberlain out of sight in
Maine, but he has gone on doing his
proper work, discharging his daily du-
ty, building up character apparently
unknown, till the state needed a man
that could be trusted, and every body
then pointed to Chamberlain.-Sprin
field Republican.
WHERE'S THE CONSISTENCY
A quarter of million of country men
and women of Mr.. Parnell and the
nh of Do oil ha
ing to banquet at DelmOnicO's-are in
destitute condition. Why not extend
the invitations to some of those half
starved creatures ? The spectacle of
Irish knights banqueting in New York
while the cry of Irish poverty and dis
tress fills the whole civilized world is
unbecOming, unpatriotic and unchris-
tian.-N. 7. Herald.
MASSACHUSETTS SENTIMENTS.
A few evenings since, at a social re-
union in this city, which was attended
by fifteen gentlemen, it was remarked
by one of the number that it was a lit
tie singular that all present were re-
publicans, though the object of the
gathering was purely social. 1t was
suggested that vote be taken upon the
presidential question, but before this
was done a gentleman present asked
permission to formulate four inquiries,
or in other words to present the plesi-
dental question rs it had suggested it.
self to his mind. He proposed four
questions, with the following results:
Question No. Are you opposed
upon general principles to a third
term?
The vote resulted in an unanimous
affirmative vote.
Question No. Twill you vote for
Gen. Grant if nominated by the repub-
can convention ?
The vote stood IL in the affirmative,
3 in the negative.
Question No. 3-Will you vote for
Gen. Grant provided it become appar-
ent in the republican convention that
no other named candidate has so good
chance of defeating the democratic
?"
The vote resulted in IA yeas to nay.
Question No. 4-State your prefer

A Determined Suicide.

Israel Boothby, cashier of the First

suicide Tuesday forenoon by shooting
himself in the head. In order to maxi

afterwards was discovered by his son.
