DETROIT Press: When Captain Miles
Standish sent John Alden as his delegate to
court for him the beautiful Puritan maiden
Priscilla, the advocate pleaded the cause of
his client with such eloquence that the
maiden asked: ''Why don't you speak for
yourself, John?' And then as NAV be
learned from Longfellow's beautiful poem,
John was struck with CONSERVATION. Hon
or forbade that he, delegate for another,
should plead his own cause; yet his elo-
quence in behalf of his captain (who never
really had anywhere near majority of the
convention in the maiden's heart) was re-
fused. Thus John Alden Garfield went to
the Chicago convention as a delegate for
Secretary Sherman; and he pleaded Sher-
mans cause so eloquently that he unccn-
sciously spoke for himself; and when dele
gate nominated him he was struck with con-
sternation, and declared that honor forbade
his speaking for himself; but he also was
chosen while his captain was refused.

The Auburn shoe factories are now calling
in their spare hands, preparatory to big rush
of work in June and July.
A Garfield and Arthur campaign flag was
raised by the Republicans of Mechanic Falls,
Friday.
1t is said that not single Greenbacker in
Mechanic Falls will vote for Fogg. They pre-
fer Frye.

vanced the wages of its employees
A number of the recently imported Messina
quails were let loose on Mr.. Emerton's farm i'm
Auburn Thursday morning. In the evening
Mr.. Emerton watched one of the birds and
found it already had nest half built Peo-
pie generally are taking great interest in the
quails. Farmers should remember to protect
their nests, and everyone should bear in mind
that a fine of S25 is imposed by law for de-
stroying one of the birds. The importation
promises to be decided success, and the birds
are becoming acclimated faster than was
thought probable.

Garfield, and remained poor, is safe il his word
is not to be taken against the accusations Of a
person of the admitted character of Cakes
Ames. 1t is very good ticket, and shrewdly
made up. Arthur's nomination is worth 5000
votes for the ticket. The reason of this is that
Senator Cenklng will pitch in and do his ut
most for the success of the party during the
coming campaign. His speeches control votes
This has been apparent in the former Grant
campaigns. The strength of Arthur lies in the
fact that throughout the entire State of New
York the organization of the party is in the
hands of those people who will be gratified and
pleased with his nomination. Then. again,
Arthur is very popular man, and those who
were opposed to Mr.. Conkling will not be an
tagonistic to Arthur. They will be better sat
isfied with him than with anyone else outside
the immediate circle of their own friends
There are no elements of weakness in the nom-
nations that can see. Personally my rela-
tlons have been very intimate with Gen. Ar
thur, but they have ceased to be so within the
last year, because he and have had different
views upon certain questions of policy.

The Disaster on the Sound

The newspapers, and most of their sub
scribers who speak of the loss of the Mar
ragansett, are busily engaged in saying
1--WE told you So" They tell us that for
years they have distrusted the safety of the
Sound boats, have thought them little bet
rer than powder magazines, and have
doubted the efficiency of the captains and
pilots. If this be so they, as we'll as the
steamer company and its servants, have been
guilty of gross negligence, and unlike the
men who had an interest in maintaining and
enlarging the good reputation of the boat
service on the Sound, have sinned out of
''pure cussedness." The truth of the mat
ter iss these people who Lave just given
voice to their suspicious cherished no sus-
picions. The passenger traffic in the mar
row and crowded thoroughfare has been SO
well conducted generally that those who
travel have had every confidence in the
steamer lines and have taken passage on
the boats as unconcernedly as they would
seat themselves in horse car. And they
have had good reasons for their confidence.
If fears had been entertained concerning the
danger of the route or doubts of the skill
and prudence of its managers the steamer
lines would have been driven out of bust
ness long ago. People do not needlessly
peril Their lives, and the choice of other
routes to New York has been open to them
all the time. The confidence so generally
given to the Sound steamers is strong evil
dencefor the good management of them, and
tits only just to suspend judgement in this
case until the facts are known. Itmay be that
the frightful disaster was the result of igno-
rance or carelessness. But until that is
proved it is well to withhold censure.
Certainly it is unreasonable to believe and
unkind to repeat the many wild and contra
dictory stories that have been set a-going.

Bliss on the Nominations

the effect that neither Grant, Blaine, nor
Sherman could be nominated by the Republi-

upon Edmunds. Gen. Garfield is stronger
man than Edmunds. He is more popular
man. Edmunds is very much respected for
his character and ability, but his very square,
ness has led him to tread upon toes where Gar
field has not done it. Garfield is man of
great tact and judgment. So far as know his
record is good. No substantial evidence as to
