DOTS FROM BLAcKBIRD--A BAsHFUL
COUPLE MARRIED..
Regular correspondence OF the Gazette.
BLACKAIRD, June 9th 1880.
We are having splendid weather in
the Forest-weather that makes the
crops fairly jump in their rapid growth.
Farmers will be harvesting by the later
part OF the week, an unusually early
harvest, being the result of wheat get
ting a good start last fall, followed Ia
the spring by cool, damp weather.
Lewis Dobson and w. Gray, two
Blackbirders, while fishing in Black
bird creek on Friday last, accidentally
capsized the boat. Beyond good wet
ting no harm was done.
The Road Commissioners have OH
trial one OF Pennock's patent road dres-
sers, with view Of purchasing should
it work satisfactorily. 1t is to be hoped
that it will prove what 1t was intended
for 50 that We will have better roads in
the future than in the past.
The nomination OH Saturday promises
to be interesting, and large vote will
be polled. Every one is taking an IL.
terest aud are determined that they will
teach the Republicans lesson with al
of their negro backing.
On Sunday evening a yong man
from near Greensprlng, was noticed
walking in Blackbird with a TIM,
lass of the same place walking on III,
opposite SIDE of the road, while ever,
Instant the young man would cast a wist
full and atirctionate glance on the oppo
site side, which would be returne,
with interest When opposite Rev. J. G
Collins there was perceptible H. sitanc,
of both parties for an instant, when tha
bashful young man from Greenspr II,
plucked courage, by a desperate effort
and with quick jerk pulled opel
the gate, and then really had the cour
age to lock arms, and with a few quicl
steps was at their destination. Afte
an agony of fifteen minutes to the by
ISLANDERS, the door opened, and ther
came out, not the bashfuf timid pai
that went in, that was all gone, but
couple with happy faces, who wer
one until death does them part. Join
ing hands they wended their wa
homeward. May happiness folio,
them.

The Fourth District Nominatio,

1u0 our I'LL O4SOllCU NOL11l1UlOA'
The Republicans of the Fourth District
have put forward a candidate that will COM
mand not only the undivided but the zeal
GUS support of the party. Captain Boutelle
will inspire his supporters with his own Wig
or and enthusiasm and make a campaign
that will end in the utter rout of the Fu-
sionists. The honor he has received he has
earned by his services as a soldier, a journal
ist and Republican. In 1862, the moment
he returned from sojourn in foreign parts,
he enlisted in the cause of the Union, choos-
ing that branch of the service which his
tastes and his experience led him to prefer.
In April of that year he entered the Navy,
receiving an appointment as acting master
He served throughout the war in the South
Atlantic, North Atlantic and West Gulf
squadrons, participating in the blockade of
Charleston and Wilmington, receiving pro-
motion to Acting Volunteer Lieutenant
May IA, 1864. "for gallant conduct in the
action with the rebel ram Albemarle," in
Abemarle Sound; taking part in the opera
tions at the capture of Mobile, Ala, and the
surrender of the rebel fleet, and closing his
service in command of the naval forces in
Mississippi Sound during the Spring and
Summer of 1865.
In 1870 Captain Boutelle became editor of
the Bangor Whig and Courier, and his ca
reer since then is familiar to the Republi-
cans of Maine. He has made stalwart
and aggressive journal, unfinching in its
loyalty to the political party whose cause ii
has espoused, and of marked influence in
the politics of eastern Maine. That ability,
honesty, intrepidity, and devotion to prin'
ciple which he has always displayed, will
make him valuable Congressman, and the
people of the Fourth District will honor
themselves by sending him to represent
them in the National councils.
The Portland daily press., 1880-06-26

cars. Governor Foster began his talk by
mimicking the speech in which Senator Conk-
ling brought forward the name of Gen.
eral Grant: thus, "If asked what State he
halls from, my sole reply shall be: He comes
from old Ohio, and his name is General G."
Those newspapers that the next morning re-
ported the incident followed the common
and usually commendable rule of writing
out abreyiations, and gave the speech thus:
eff asked what State he halls from, my sole
reply shall be: He comes from old Ohio, and
his name is General Garfield" The occa
sionally recurring and much-mentioned ex-
ception to rule which is paradoxically said
to prove it was ignored and the night editors
proved themselves veritable martinets. The
lines that "Miles O'Reilly'' passed on to Sen
ator Conkling and that Governor Foster fa-
cetiously parodied were forgotten before the
din of the Chicago Convention had died
away in the ears of the night editor.
If there be any moral to this true story the
moral is the transitory nature of poetic fame,
and the occasional forgetfulness of those
intelligent, industrious, and accurate men,
the night editors. Happy the poet who
chances upon an audience SO just, so ap-
preciative and of memory usually so reten-
tive
The Portland daily press., 1880-06-26

The Chicago Convention rose against the
unit rule and struck it down. 1t is a mat
ter of wonder to those who read the ballots
at Cincinnati that the Democratic Conven-
ton did not overthrow the old, and perplex-
ing and absurd rule that requires two men
to cast one ballot, confuses people with
half-votes, leads the newspapers to report

be closely modelled on the electoral college
with throwing over seven hundred ballots

according to Democratic custom-except in
Conventions. At the polls quite another
trick is practiced. The votes exceed the
voters-if Democratic canvassers do the
counting.

cago the train that bore Garfield made a
short stay at Toledo, and the General and
candidate asked Governor Foster to speak to
the cheering crowd that gathered about the

WHEN General Hancock won his victories
he had the boys in blue behind him. Now
he officers an army as disreputable as Fal-
staf's ragged recruits. The ballot-box stuff
ers of Tammany, the repeaters of Cincinna-
ii, the White Leaguers of Louisiana, and
the red-shirted rufians of South Carolina
fill up his ranks. With such following
victory is improbable, disgraceful if

THE Maine Tabulators were fully recog-
nized at Cincinnati. Tabulator Simon
Brown tabulated the credentials, and,-
judging from the discrepancy between the
number of ballots, rising seven hundred,
and the official list of votes. falling below
four hundred-Tabulator Chase must have
done the counting.
