LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
FINALE.
Close OF the Poultry show.

SlOsc VI tuc
Last night ut 10 o'clock the exhibi-
tion of the Lancaster county poul-
try association closed, after a very
successful five days run. and this
morning the show birds were released
from their contracted aud rather uncom-
Portable coops, and carried to their several
homes, where they will h.e chance Of
exercising their legs and Wigs 10y running
in the open yard and rccuperating their
health by a more varied diet.
In the list of premiums published yes
terday we inadvertently omitted IL special
one awarded to Charles Lippold, of this
city, for the best display of pigeons.
In behalf OF the exhibitors, who failed
to secure premiums. it is only fair to say
that some of their fowls were SO nearly of
equal merit with the winners. III the
opinion of the judges, that they only
lacked a point or two. and in one or more
cases. only ha!f point, OF the score
awarded the winner. This fact speaks
we'll for the several exhibitors, and shows
that they have given great care to the
rearing of stock of the purest blood.
n curiosity exhibited and not hereto
fore noticed, was three-!cggcd fowl bred
by c. ii. Mayer, letter carrier. The bird is
full grown and perfect in every respect.
with the exception of the third leg and
foot, which is located between the other
legs and is not more than half as long,
and, of course, does not reach to the
ground when the bird stands erect.
The committee of arrangements have not
yet had time to make statement OF the
receipts and expenses, and the attendance
of visitors at the fair. Approximately. it
MAY be stated that about 5000 persons Wis
tied the fair that the receipts from the
sale OF tickets were between S400 and 500;
the entry fees from exhibitors about
$12J. and that the net profits after
paying all expenses Gncluding about sl25
for coOps, cups, &C., which are worth
what they cost will not be less than $50.
The clear profits to the association may
thus be put at about S21J or $500.
The judges, who are experts, and are
called upon to attend shows in all parts of
the country, declare the Lancaster show
to have been one OF the very best they
have attended within a long time past.

At this distance TIE political game OF
the three parties i'll Maine becomes more
complicated and its result more involved
in doubt ut every move on the chess
board. 1t is very evident that the Dem
Ocratic and Grecnback leaders lack
neither courage nor SlGacltN and that
they do not propose To be scared or bull
dOZed out of the assertion of their rights.
They have the popular majnrity of the
state behind them and the example of
their tirmneSS will no doubt have a good
effect i'll stiireming the backbone of Dem
ocrats there as well us elsewhere.
We have greatly admired the courage
OF Gov. Garcclon, and his conduct has
evidently been consistent with law and
precedent :t The same time when he
asked the opinion OF the supreme court
he and his party are in honor bound to
abide by it. We understand that he re-
fers the whole matter now to the LegiSla-
ture. delivering to them the court S Opin
ion, and it is human nature that the
Fusiomsts should resist the organization
by the Republicans of the Legislature
when they lave sought to weaken the
opposition by shameless bribery. The
courts opinion would probably better
command the respect which judicial de-
liveranccS should have, were it not in
conflict with previous decisions of the
same judicatory, and had it not been
written, as we are informed, bya judge
who is an active politician and who Oh
election day leads voters by the ear to the
bailot-boX.

After the closing of our reports yestcr-
day from Maine, in the House John &.
Talbot was declared elected speaker by 72
votes, and conducted to the chair. A
clerk and assistant secretary were also
chosen, Mr.. Hale protesting all the time
on behalf of the Republicans that there
was no legal organization of the House.
Mr.. Hale then presented protest of MEM
bers from five cities, and moved to so into
committee of the whole to consider the
cases. The motion was rejected, and the
matter was referred to the committee on
elections, to be appointed. The other
contests were referred to the same COM
mittce, and the House adjourned. There
were noise and confusion in the House
during the proceedings, the galleries being
filled by demOnstrative mob. Governor
GarcelOn's term expired last night, and the
president of the Senate fills his place until
Il new governor is chooses.

THE THIRD TERM.
0ices of the Past.

Voices of the Past.
REPUBLICAN PLATFORM, NEW YORK STATE,
ADOPTED Sept 8, 1875.
Recognizing as conclusive the presi-
dent public declaration that he is not a
candidate for denomination, and with the
sincerest gratitude for his patriotic ser
vices, we declare our unalterable OppOsi-
tion to the election of any president for a
third term.
PENNSYLVANIA REPUBLICAN,.
ADOPTED May p 1879.
That we declare firm. unqualified ad-
herence to the unwritten law of the repub-
lie, which wisely, and under the sanction
of the most venerable of examples. limits
the presidential service of any citizen to
two terms. and we. the Republicans of
PENNSYLVANIA, in recognition of this law,
are unalterably opposed to the election to
the presidency OF any person for a third
term.
MASSACHUSETTS REPUBLICAN CONVENTION. l>.J.
That sound reason, as we'll as the wise
and unbroken usage of the republic, illus
trated by the example of Washington, re-
quircs that the term of the chief magis-
trate of the United States should not ex-
coed a second term.
GHIO REPUBLICAN CONVENTION. 1919.
The observance OF WashingtOn'S exam
pie in retiring at the close Of I; second
presidential term will be in the future as it
has been in the past regarded as a ft,nda
mental rule in the unwritten law of the
republic.
Iowa REPUBLICAN, CONVENTION. lS15.
The Republican party of Iowa oppose Il
third term, and believe that President
Grants letter to General White fairly re-
moves that issue from our politics.

letter of President Grant, discouraging the
continuance in office of any mapgistrate

THURSDAY EVENING, JAN. 8, 1880.
Make Them Consist.

The Democratic majority in the United
States Senate has chance now to show
its backbone and can do SO without any
discredit to itself and with probable good
effect upon its party and upon the tone
of our public service. In accordance
with Mr.. Hayes's custom of saying one
thing and doing another he rejected the
name of Geo. II. Stuart, pressed upon
him by respectable influences, for the
Eastern federal marshalship in Pennsyl-
vania and reappointed Kerns, who has
been made notorious by the infamous
FOUNDERS and repeaters whom he selects
for federal deputies on election day in
Philadelphia, to supplement at the cleo
tion window, with the bludgeon and
blackjack. the work of the ballOt-bOX
suffer, return tinker and lightning cal
culatOr, who presides on the inside.
Mr.. Kerns, as well as some other of
the appointees whom Hayes sent to Il
Democratic Senate for its approval yes
terday, is a standing violation of civil
service order No. l. He and they con-
tinually outrage its letter and its spirit.
They not only take part in political cain
paigns, contrary to its provisions, but
they use and abuse their offices for the
benefit of their party. Now Mr.. Hayes
has laid down the regulation that Shall
govern the executive appointecs; he has
set up a standard by which he says that
no wants fhair t.onII,nf ia In. measured.
Democrats may approve OF condemn that
standard; they are not responsible 1or
it; they may make another for them
selves and their appointceS, bu: they
have a right to demand that Hayes Shall
square his conduct and that of the ad-
ministration subordinatcS with his rules
so long as he does not Withdraw them.
Federal officers who, in the discharge
of their power. have hitherto violated
these rules, cannot expect confirmation
by Democratic senators. Marshals who
invest rOuglS and FOUNDERS with a little
brief authority to club Or browbcat Dem
Ocrats away from the polls cannot ask
Democrats to endorse them and approve
their appointment. Officials who spend
the time for which the government pays
them in doing the dirty work of their
party, descending even to the crooked
devices OF back Office politics and of
bogus tax receipts, must either show
fruits meet for repentance or go without
TIE endorsement of a Democratic Senate.

conduct as gentleman, his ability as a de-
batter, his scholarly attachments and his bold
standing as a Democrat, to pace himself at the
head of his party. and his course during the last
session OF the Legislature was such as TO Justly
give hum the title of leader OF the young De-
nnocracy OF Indiana. Ifnominated, Mr.. Willard
would. in our opinion. be able TO make more
ent ct1ve canvass than any other man mem
TONED for the position OF Lieutenant Cover
nor. He not only speaks the English language
huentiy, but can also address an audience In
either German or French, and is polished
conveTs atlonaliSt in all three. All these
things, II seems to us, are in his favor, and
aside from all this we may safely say that
young Willard has inherited all the intellect
ual powers and accomplishments OF his dis
unguished father; he has rare executive abil-
ity. is an accomplished and foIcible speaker,
and thorough parllamentarian. HIS Democ-
racy can be set down as or the purest type, he
having been instructed in the doctrines and
principles taught In the Jeffersonian school
from his childhood, and we firmly believe
that no man who has been named for the
office OF Lieutenant Governor upon the Demo-
cratic ticket would fill the position with more
credit to himself, or with more honor 70 the
people OF the State of Indians, than James II.

Finding that he has encouraged the lawless
and discontented element, advised them TO
uarade the streets ana endeavor TO keep them
in such disposl' ion and temperament as TO
commit an outbreak whenever it should suit
his purposes; that he has impeached the
honesty of the whole community, accused
various branches of the city government of
corruption and dereliction of duty: and under
the pretense of couDselng the mob against vio-
lence, tnSiduously advised them to be in readl-
ness for bloodshed and the overthrow of
the authorities; they expressed the opinion
that Kalloch is unscrupulous and
unprincipled and devoid OF integrity and fide'-
ity TO the public interests, and that the time
has arrived for the Board to express their con-
demDation OF his acts, and recommend that
prompt action be taken to vIndicate the fair
fame of the municipality, by judicial inquiry
into Kalloch's case. A motion to adopt the
report was put by Mayor Kalloch, who an
nounced by viva voce vote that IL was car

nous vote for the adoption. The resolution
was then adopted authorizing the Finance
Committee TO cause judicial proceedings TO be
instituted against the Mayor for his removal
from Office, and empowering them to employ
counsel and prosecute the matter to a speedy
termination. Throughout the reading OF the
report and resolution, Kalloch appeared cool
