The Fusion Split.
The fusion convention at Portland on
Tuesday was by no means love-feast.
II was called for the purpose of nominal
ing straight greenback electoral hcket,
but the Hancock guerillas attended in
large numbers, took possession Of the as
scmblage. drove the straight greenback-
ers out of the hall, and the result was two
conventions, one endorsing the old fusion
electoral ticket, and the other putting up
straight greenback ticket.
This action marks the dividing line be-
tween the democrats and greenbackers.
Those men who vote for and sustain the
fusion electoral ticket are thenceforth not
only Hancock men but democrats. OF
course they understand this. They do not
90 into this matter blindiolded. The end
is clear from the beginning. They make
their bed with the democracy and there
they must lie. No man who votes the
fusion ticket can claim thereafter that he
is a greenbacker. The fusion ticket means
Hancock and democracy and nothing but
that, and Hancock and democracy have
nothing in common with the greenback-
ers, or the national platform on which
Hancock was nominated is blistering
falsehood.
On the contrary the ticket nominated at
the boiling convention $50 called), at the
head of which stands the name of Scion
Chase. is the regular and undoubted green
back ticket, and those who support it are
and will be the greenback party OF the
State. They have raised their banner
aloft that al, the country may see it. They
cannot he shouted or ridiculed or driven
from the position which they occupy.
They have principles and maintain them.
They have national candidates and sup
port them. They are a distinct party
with an organization OF their own, and
whatever else may be said of them it can
not be said that they are not true to their
professions. their party and its platform.
IT the greenback party has a future those
men who stand by the straight greenback
ticket are bound to be its foremost men.
while those who support the fusion Han
cock ticket will mingle with the common
herd of the democracy and accept as their
leaders the Confederate Brigadiers of the
South.
We think the fusionists are mistaken if
they believe the straight greenbackers will
be an insignificant party. 1t will have its
supporters in every town. 1t has exerted
an active. moulding influence in the
politics of the State. L. has a name to
conjure by. 1t has principles. 1t has cour-
age. lthas all the conscience of the green
back party with it, 1t has strong leaders.
1t has been basely treated by its late allies
and the venal greenbackers whom they
have seduced into the Hancock ranks by
promises of office. If it maintains its
ground it will certainly disappoint the de-
mocracy in the numbers it will draw to
its standard and the position which it will
hold when this campaign has closed.
We notice that the Argus exults over
the action of the convention controlled by
the Hancock guerillas. but victory won
in such manner rs that over which it
boasts is very often followed by unex-
pected and unpleasant results to the
offending party. 1t may prove so in this
case

first, because they are hard,
and others that they become
slippery and the horse is LA
BILE to tall and strain himself in getting
up; but, if we remember rightly, the
plankroads were not objected to on ac-
count of their hardness or slipperyness;
and as to slipping, if the flooring is
little inclined the water is carried back,
whence a slight gutter, also inclining
somewhat, either removes it from the
stable to the outside, or is allowed to.
pass under the floor through small holes
in the gutter. But where these arrange
ments have not been made, cover of
sifted coal-ashes over the floor will pre-.
vent the slipping. We have known
floors in stalls to be made of boards or
planks turned up on an edge, which is
about as hard as any thing can be; also,
of flagstones, mortar, and even of
asphaltum, all of which we should sup
pose might prove injurious to the ami

He rushed forward, with blood in his

door like shot, and ran two blocks
without looking back. He left his diary
in the saloon, and it was turned over to

Then it came out that Stewart had
sister who was bedridden, and whom he
had to support, and this was the reason
why the marriage had not taken place
before. JEANNE was persuaded to 90
to Dundee to see Stewart and ask his
advice, and he was urgent in his counsel
that she should accept the liberal offer
that had been made to her, and go to
America. He told her he would follow
her here when he was able to provide
for his sister Stewart added that the
doctors said the sick girl could not out
live the winter. Poor JEANNE was all
tears and sorrow when she left with her
friends, but she heard regularly from
Stewart, and on arriving here she soon
became accustomed to her new life, and
liked ii greatly. About a month ago
Stewart wrote TO say that his sister was
dead and that he would leave for Amer
lea about the LIST Of January. jean
MES songs and smiles became more
frequent, and she looked forward
eagerly for the arrival of the new
year.
On Tuesday last the papers contained
the account of the terrible accident to
the Edinburgh train on the bridge
over the Firth of Tay. JEANNE heard
about it, and hurriedly read the meager
account that had been sent by cable.
She did not say much when she finished
the dispatch until her mistress told her
not to worry about Stewart. rs he was
probably all right. Then she began TO
sob and cried out, at isna' all right; it
was Stewards train and Stewards
drowned,r Next morning came the
particulars of the disaster, and list of
the names of those drowned. Stewards
name was among the list of the train
men. and when JEANNE read it she went
to her room and would not see any one
until the following morning. Then she
came quietly down stairs and went about
her usual duties without a word to any
body. She looked ten years Older than
she did before, but she made no com
plants, and has not referred to her loss
since tina; first day, and her friends in
their pity and warm sympathy are
watching her anxiously to see that she
does not do herself some harm. And
thus even this far away calamity shows
how long reaching are the shadowy
arms OF ailliction and sorrow.

A DIAMOND smuggler, who was well
known TO be engaged in defrauding the
revenue, for Il long time could not be
caught in the act. He never left ship
and he was constantly going back and
forth-without being searched in his

used to twit the officers on their disa-
bility TO catch him. At last his trick
was discovered He hid the diamonds
in the homework of his state-room, in
sorting them in small holes, which were
then filled up and painted over He
engaged the same state-room for yoy-

New York he took out the diamonds
and gave them to his wife, who came to

A REMARKABLE case Of death from an
erroneous prescription occurred in New
York City. A baby is months old was
badly scalded on the arm by the upset
ting of bowl of hot tea. A physician
was called, who directed the amounting
of the burn with salve for which he
wrote a prescription. 1t contained a
large proportion of opium, not too much
for application to the skin in normal
condition. but a dangerous quantity con-
sidering the increased susceptibility to
ABSORPTION caused by the scald, for
which the doctor neglected TO make
proper allowance. The prescription
was carried to Il druggist, who heard
nothing about the scald, and merely saw
that the ointment was "for external
use" and put it up without having any
idea, or giving the customer any caution,
that it was not perfectly safe. But the
narcotic, absorbed through the scalded
cuticle, cast the little sufferer into a
sleep which proved fatal.
