harmony among the Republicans of
that State and says at all events,
the Democrats of the State may as
well prepare themselves for encounter
ing the full strength of antagonists
who have defeated them in one-half
of the general elections which have
been held in New York since the Re-
publican party was organized.
The Hon. Smith Ely of Ely, Yer
mont, the President and chief stock
holder Of the Vermont Copper Min ing
Company, and uncle of ex Mayor Ely
of New York City, lifelong Demo-
crat has delared for General Garfield.
He says that he would give SO, 900 rath-
er than have Hancock elected, "for,"
said he ''that means free trade, or a
tariff reduced to the great detriment
of mining interest"
Providence Journal 1.-THE Re-
publican party claims the confidence
and support of the people of the
United States, because Il demands
and would uphold the political rights
of every citizen, and because it has
sustained, intends to maintain, if pos
sble, the credit of the nation and a
sound and honest currency. No other
party processes to hold both doctrines.
Both are indispensable to the prosper
ity and peace of the country"
The Milwaukee Sentinel says:
"The story about that 100000 from
the Democrats of Wisconsin to the
Democrats of Indiana is very good for
q campaign yarn, but it is not true.
The Democrats Of Wisconsin are not
giving their money in that way, when
every cent of it is needed in the Con-
gressional fights. 1t is possible but
not probable, that Parkinson gave the
Sl00,O00 out of his own pocke."
Boston Journal: General Butler
is the first Democrat to apologize for
the farce called an election in Alabama
where the Democratic majority is 92,-
600. He may commend himself to the
fraudulent voters in the North by
comparing the management of Mas
sachusetts ELECTIONS with that which
has just taken place in Alabama and
in the South generally, but he will
win the confidence of no intelligent
men by such comparisons"
The Springfield (Mass.) RepubH-
can says: "The return of E. H. Cove
of Biddeford to the Republican party
is a serious reverse to the fusionist5 of
Maine. Mr.. Grove is one of the best
men they have had in their ranks, and
was to the date of his avowed convcr-
sation Chairman of the Greenback
State Committee. He was Secretary
of State under Garcelon last year, and
the year before ran for Congress in the
Portland district against Reed, Re
publican, aad Anderson, Democrat"
The Cincinnati Commercial re-
spends to:Candidate Englishs $ defense,
that he did not make any money out
of the mortgaged property he fore
closed at Indianapolis, with q sworn
statement of the indianapolis Asses
sor, showing 800 pieces of property
foreclosed, on which English must
have made $l95, 500, according to its
lowest assessed value for fifteen years
Most of this property fell into the
Shylock's grip in the last two years,
and on ninetoenths of it nearly all the
original purchase money had been
paid.
A serious accident occurred in the
Stoneham oil field last Monday, by
the explosion of gas at the No. well
of Mr.. Tolles, on the Baldensparger
farul. The well began flowing and
casing when the explosing took place.
Mr.. Boon MuGee was in the derrick
at the the time, and ran like all the
rest, but he was badly burned on the
left arm, hand and face. His Injuries
are not dangerous, but aggravating.
At the time of the explosion there lay
upon the ground not far from the
well sixty pounds of nitro glycerine.

doorway OF. The bouse near by; saw
the danger, should the glycerine eX-
plode, and she cody walked from the
house to the dangerous compound and
picked up the parcels and begin walk
ing away with them, conveying them
to a further distance from the fire
She was discovered by the before
hewildered men, who ran to her assis-
tance. Itwas a noble, heroic act, and
Mr.. 'TOlles is profuse in his praise of
the dauntless girl. When all was
bewildering excitement among the
men, this young woman saw the dan
ger, and by her act undoubtedly a
greater explosion and destruction was
prevented. The derrick was consum-
ed and 250 barrel tank. We gather
these facts from Mr.. George o. Cor
nelius.-Warren Ledger.
