Furniture.

urulUur0,
The furniture trade in Portland is of consid-
cradle Importance, and merits some mention
in connection with the other important bust
ness interests of which we have spoken. The
representative house engaged in this line of
trade here is that of Geo. A. Whitney & Co.,
who occupy extensive premises on Exchange
street. The firm commenced business about
fourteen years ago, and from small beginning
the establishment has grown to be the leading
one.of its kind in the state They are both
manufacturers and dealers in furniture of all
descriptions, mattresses, feat hers, &C., and the
goods usually found in first class establish
ments of the kind in this section. The trade
of the house is both wholesale and retail, and
they manufacture and sell all styles of furni-
ture, both low and high priced, keeping al
ways on hand choice assortment of the richer
as well as the commoner class of household
articles. They supply many of the first class
retail houses in the state, and their goods find
a market in New Hampshire and Vermont,
and almost all parts of New England, some
goods of their manufacture being sold in Bos-
ton itself. A considerable trade was being done
with the Provinces until the new tariff effec
tually closed the doors Of trade in that direc-
ton. The store occupied by Messrs. Whitney
& Co., is one of the Oldest and best known fur
niture stands in the city, and has been used
for the same purpose for the last 45 years, al
though it has been much enlarged and i'm.
proved by the present firm. 1t consists of
the large store No 46 Exchange street, which
has depth of 15S feet, and also the floors over
Nos 3S, 40, ~ and A, the whole making the
most extensive warerooms devoted to the fur
nture trade in the city. Employment is af-
forded to large force of workmen, and the
productive capacity of the establishment has
been greatly increased within few years to
meet corresponding increase in the extent
and growth Of their business. The firm are
preparing for large spring business, and
when trade fairly opens will probably have
one of the largest stocks of furniture to select
from to be found in the state. They report
business very good the past season. The ia
cilities enjoyed by Messrs. Whitney & Co. as
manufacturers enable them to offer the very
best inducements to purchasers to be obtained
anywhere, and they have established an excel
lent reputation for carrying a stock of goods
calculated to meet the requirements of all
classes, as well as for the straightforward man
ner of doing business with all with whom they
have dealings.

comes up to their exacting standard We
do not believe the Democratic party has
ever entered upon campaign with more
unanimity in its ranks, with better candi-
dates and prospects of success than now.
The telegraph announces that the ticket
has been hailed with rejoicing IN every
part of the union. 1t has inspired the al
ways faithful with increased zeal, made the
generally lukewarm earnest and resolved,
silenced the croakers and stimulated the
laggard. Indeed, the political horizon Is
full of promise for the Democratic party.
1t is scanned in vain by those who hope to
find in it any sign, omen or intimation of
Democratic defeat in the contest now
opened. So more than hopeful is the stu.
alton, 80 many and important are the indl-
cations of success, so broad and solid are
the grounds Of Democratic confidence, that
nothing less than almost impossible blum
dering can prevent the Democracy from
achieving triumph even more decisive, in
both the popular aud electoral votes, than
was recorded in 1876. Superadded to all
the advantages with which the party en-
tered on the victorious campaign Of that
year, we have one great issue which must
be decided in our favor unless the people
are prepared to indorse the greatest out
rage on free government, and the most
notorious crime against civil liberty that
has stained the annals Of modern times
Unless the people are prepared to say
that the party beaten a. the polls is
justified in continuing its tenure Of power
