The South Paris Fusion Fizzle.

SOUTH PARIS, Oct. u, 1881.
The Greenbackers of this place advertised
that they would hold a grand rally at Odd Fell
lows Hall Thursday evening, the 25th, to cele
brate ''our glorious victory in Maine. Tha
giant intellect, Elliot King, was to be the
speaker. Well. our leading Democrats posted
the bills and tried their best to get out crowd,
but alas poor King went into the hall at the
appointed time for the great meeting and there
he found about fifteen persons in all, including
six small boys. But King seemed perfectly
satisfied with the crowd, and acted as though
the audience was as large as he was in the
habit of addressing, especially when he visited
a town for the second time. After waiting a
moment he arose and said that the tariff ques-
ton was not an issue in this campaign, and
closed by urging Greenbackers to support the
Hancock ticket. He did not remove his tall
hat while speaking. The meeting was grand
success as a genuine fZZi0.

JUSTICE CLIFFORD
Not Likely to Resume His Duties

A Washington despatch to yesterdays Bos-
ton Herald says that Justice Clifford of the SUI
preme Court continues in about the same con-
dition in which he has been for The past two
weeks. He is able to be dressed and to ride
oat in his carriage, but takes but comparative
ly little interest in what is going on about him
and exhibits but little mental activity. Two
or three days ago the members of his family
determined to take him back to his home in
Portland for the winter, but when the subject
was mentioned in his presence, and he COM
pretended what the an was, he emphatically
declared that he would not consent to it, aud
and that he would remain there for the winter.
de told his sons that if they intended to re-
main until he went back to Portland lie would
be very glad TO have them do ii, provided they
could afford to leave their business and spend
the winter there, but that he was not going
back, and if that was all they were waiting
for, they might as well go home at once There
Is no longer any expectation that Justice Cliff
ford will ever recover sufficiently to enable
him to resume his public duties. 1t is safe to
say that he will never resign. and it is quite
likely that his seat on the bench will remain
vacant as long as he lives. Should he become
much worse his family would insist on his re-
moval to Maine. but if lie continues in his
present comfortable condition he will remain
there during the winter.

a shot from revolver entered the house Of

IN GENERAL,
The picking of apples for winter is about
completed, and thousands of barrels are being
exported and as many placed in storehouses
for home consumption. The season may be
considered as ended, yet tens of thousands OF
bushels remain uns altered on the ground.
Such an abundant crop will not be looked for
in several years again.

Letter From the Hon. w. w Thomas.
EX-MaYor Thomas has addressed the fol

Ex-Mayor Thomas has addressed the fol-
lowing letter to the editor of the Argus:
In your issue of this morning I am re-
ferred to by your rel orter as opposed to Port
land becoming manufacturing city. This is
not the fact. As a native of Portland, and
one who has done something in building up
our beautiful city. l welcome every manufac-
turing or other enterprise that will add to our
population OF wealth. But certain localities
are destined by their situation and surround.
ings to become disiinctively manufacturing
cities. Such are Lewiston, Biddeford, Lowell
and Lawrence.
Other localities are marked by Providence to
become commercial centers. Such a locality is
the beautiful peninsula on which cur CITY is
built. AS surely as the Lewiston falls desig-
mated Lewiston as "a site for manufactures, so
surely does our unrivalled harhor stamp Port
land as a commercial city. Now, l believe
Portland will achieve her greatest success bv
following in the path that Providence has
apparently marked out for her-bv striving to
be Liverpool instead OF Manchester.
We must try to make Portland a busy COM
merclal mart, embracing mel of all profess
Sions and tcailingS-meIc chants bankers, brok-
ers men of leisure, where large stocks are ac-
cumrlated and distributed; where business re-
lations exist, not only with other parts of the
country, but with foreign countres-a COM
mercial center that shall supply as large
radius of surrounding territory as possible. A
commercial city necessarily calls for large
amount of manufactures for the various kinds
If business which grow up within itself and
intimately connected with its business rea-
tons. We have now some three hundred
of these small industries in Portland
/ remember Salem as commercial city,
with its business excitement and push, its
ships whitening every sea. its merchant
prnces-the Grays, Thorndikes and others;
but it is now quiet city. Its population has
changed-ihe cotton millis taking the place of
its commerce.
Such are briefly the ideas I expressed at a
meeting of the merchants OF Portland in June
last. My expressions have been misreprrsent-
ed not alone in your columns, but IN various
quarters. l wish to contradict these mis-repre-
sensations now-once fol, all.
am not opposed to manufactures. l am
not opposed TO Portland becoming manufac-
turing city; but believe we shall achieve our
rue greatness by using our best efforts to
make Portland commercial city.
