A Republican State Convention
WILL BE HELD IN
GRANITE HALL, AUGUSTA,
Wednesday, June 23, 1880
AtIE O'Clock A. W.,

for the purpose of nominating a candidate for Gov
and two candidates for Electors of President and
Vice President of the United States and to trans
act any other business that may properly come be-
fore the Convention.
The basis of representation will be as follows:
Each cith, town and plantation will be entitled to
one delegate, and for every seventyfve votes cast
for the Republican candidate for Governor in 1879
additional delegate, and fraction of forty votes
in of seventy-fve will be accorded delegate.
The State Committee will be in session in the
ante-room of the Hall at o'clock, on the morning
of the Convention, to receive the credentials of
delegates.
For the first time in the history of Maine the at
tempt was made in 1879 to deprive the people of
the right to choose their officers, and to cor
ruptly continue in power those whom the people
had rejected. The authors, abettors and accom-
plces in this crime against free government are
now seeking to come before the people under some
new party name-availing themselves of an alias,
the common resort of those who seek to escape the
responsibility and punishment of their crimes.
Against these men, under whatever name they
may appear, all those citizens who condemn the
nefarious plot to destroy the right of suffrage,
invited to unite, without regard to past party af-
ations, to preserve honest Government for the hon
est people of Maine.
By order of the Republican State Co nmittee.

There are few things which cause more

ed there were not these painful sores tina,
prevent their applying themselves TO the
labor. A horse with shoulder or back gals,
or both, suffers pain when it is put into the
harness. The direct cause Of these sores is
the friction to which the parts are subjected,
combined with the excessive hea; and great
Gov Of sweat Inflammation and chatting Of
the skin are produced much more readily in

A telegram from Ottawa,

A Telegram from Ottawa. April %,
gives the following news: A great fire
Is raging in Hull, opposite this city,
and spreading with fearful rapidity.
The whole rear Of the town appears a
mass Of flames. Probably a hundred
and fifty dwellings have been destroyed.
Danger Is now apprehended from n
slight of wind 10 the northward, which
threatens 10 bring the lire down toward
the front Of the town. and numerous
lumber piles along the river; the efforts
TO check the FIRE appear quite ineifec-
tual.
The steamer Conqueror and a partof
the FIRE brigade have been sent over to
assist the local fire companies. A re-
porter who has visited the scene, says
the destruction of property Is great,
furniture and personal effects are piled
In the streets. Many animals Of all
kinds have perished. The property de-
stroyed was mainly occupied by labor
ers. There was very little insurance,
steps have been taken to relieve tine dis
tress. Handsome contributions have
already been raised and tomorrow night
the city council Of Hull and Ottawa
win meet TO take action In the matter.
His excellency, the govorner general,
photographed to the mayor Of Hull signi-
flying his willingness to assist In any
movement for the relief Of the home
less. Thousands Of persons from this
city visited the fire and ut one time
there were but forty members In the
house. The Govoner General and prin-
cess Louise were among the first to ar
rive and they remained for some time.
Fortunately none OF the great lumber
ing mills were destroyed, although one
was In serious danger.
