volumes for that fathers observation and

Col. .McCLURE's view of the situation at
Chicago: "Blaine has the largest army
with the worst generals that ever entered
a political battle. Considering the ability
and desperation of the Grant men and the
laundering and confusion of the opposition,
1 would say tonight that the nomination
of Grant is probable, but the nomination
of Blaine is hardly possible, and that Sher
man is not within sight of success"
THE distressing news is flashed over the
wires from Chicago that the vice presiden'

Struck by a Car.

Yesterday morning, about 10 o'clock, a gray
ell train was backing down on the Eastern
Railroad track at Cape Elizabeth station when
light wagon, containing Mr.. and Mrs John
Pummer, of that town, attempted to cross the
track. The train hands shouted without avail,
and the rear of the train struck the wagon,
knocking it to pieces and throwing out the oc-
cupants. Mr.. Plummer was thrown partly UNI
der the train and. had foot taken off. Mrs.
Plumrner had her back injured. 1t was feared
either her back or hip was broken The train
hands say the horse and wagon were driven on
to the track where Plummer stopped the horse
short as if uncertain whether to go ahead or
back. He then whipped up his horse with the
above result. The parties were taken to the
Maine General Hospital
Since writing the above the surgeons says
Mrs. Plummer's collar bone was broken and
they hope her back is only badly bruised.

The news of the election was SO meagre,
Monday night, that few Republicans were
willing to accept the admission Iof beat AS
the morning, yesterday, wore ON the later in
formation was more satisfactory, and the in
telligence of the election of the whole Cum
berland County ticket, except sheriff, was re-
ceived with the liveliest indications of pleas
ure This feeling was greatly increased when
it became evident that Hon. T. B. Reed was
reelected to Congress from this district with
out doubt.
All day long knots of men, Republicans and
Democrats, were gathered in the newspaper
offices, or street corners, and in door-ways dis
cussing the situation, and as each side received
news calculated to favor their party they rgave
vent TO their feelings in, the most pronounced

CONGRESS HALL.

Together.

go hire hall" observed the venerable
head of the Democratic party when his young
and vigorous Greenback brother Mr.. S. A.
Berry asked his advice as to how the Green
hackers should endeavor to express their feel
ings, and the words of wisdom were duly fol-
lowed, and Congress Hall was engaged and
we'll filed last evening. The meeting was
close corporation. 1t was branch OF the
main establishment that insisted on its own
show bills, and was bound to charge its own
price of admission. 1t was a Greenback love
feast where Democrat was regarded even as
Republican.
DIR. Webster presided, and Elliot King was
the first speaker. He was the happiest man
in the State when he heard that Plaisted was
elected. Mr.. King hadn't at the time the
least idea how the State had gone. He several
times requested the people about the door to
come up nearer the stand, but they didn't APP
pear to be anxious to do so, and Mr. King
gave way to Col Fellows who made speech
at once profane and poetic. They were all
poetic. He announced himself as an anti
Fusion, anti-Democrat and anti-Republican.
He was ant-Fusion because he rather be-
lieved that the Greenbackers could go it alone,
and anti-Democrat because the Democrats
"are an internally cowardly set, who don't
dare to face ali enemy alone" Hesaid that
the "victory will be claimed by the old fossile
Democratic leaders as Democratic victory,
and who in thunder cares, we know better,

mood He thought the Republicans were
bad lot, and implored his audience to remem-
Der that they will yet "rob the palace of the

Previous to the nomination of Plaisted, the
Committee on Resolutions submitted a ma

port, presented by James F. Rawson. favors
local option liquor law. This created great
excitement, so that the speaker was totally
unable to keep order. After arguing the
question pro and con. it was finally decided
to lay it on the table until after the nomina-
ton of General Plaisted.
After General Plaisted closed his remarks,
the convention voted to leave the election OF

conference with the greenback State COM
mittee. The convention then adjourned sine
