Republican party had been the champion of
humanity and of free speech, and thought
that 1t had always maintained that beings who
had souls had rights, and that it had never at

rights into submission. He then discussed
the late 'steal," which, wicked as it was, the

Republican party.

support the Republican party in this election.

The Late DR.. TeWksburv.

A post mortem on the remains of the late
DR.. S. III. Tewksbury was held yesterday by
five of the faculty. 1t is we'll known that
the doctor had been an invalid for several
years and various opinions have been given as
to the nature of his disease. The organs were
all found healthy. The doctor died of chronic
pernicious anemia, of which only two cases
have heretofore been known in this vicinity,
and the disease itself was recognized as disease
two years ago in an article in the London Lam
Get. The disease started in catarrhal dyspep-
STA, which ran into pernicous anamia. Per-
nicious anemia is failure of nervous power
to change the chyle into blood corpuscles.
While normal spleen weighs eight ounces,

The First District Convention.
New Fra-I eadar1


The situation in this Congressional district
as we go to press is this. The Democrats seem
to be united on Gen. S. j. Anderson to the ex-
tent of making his nomination certainty to-
morrow Thursday) His friends in the Green
back party are seemingly determined to present
his name to the Greenback convention the
same day for nomination or endorsement; but
there are faint rumors that Gen. Anderson
will not allow his name to go before the Green.
back convention. If it does go there it can
only breed trouble. 1t is no more in order for
Greenback convention to nominate straight
Democrat than a straight Republican. There
is not, and has not been, an instance in the
Union where the Gree nback party has nomi-
mated or endorsed a straight Democrat or Re-
publican. This district can not hope to trv the
experiment without disrupting and demoraliz-
ing the party, not only in this district but in the
State. Ii interested gentlemen of the Green.
back persuasion in other portions of the State
have been tending on the First district, as
seems to have been the case, they have taken
unwarranted liberties, and no such trade can
be ratified; The duty of the Greenback dele
gates Is plain. They are called together to
nominate d1eenback candidate for Represen-
tatlve IN Congress. Let them select the
ablest cleaneSt, most reliable and Trustworthy
Greenbacker in the district and their work is
| done. "
The air is full of rumors that if General An
derson is not nominated outright in the Green
back convention certain pliable Greenbacker
IS to be set up, with the understanding that he
will take himself out of the way, later in the
campaign, and thus give the Democratic nom
inee chance. This plan should be rendered
impossible by the Nomination of a man of
known honesty, one who will turn neither to
| the right nor to the left, for nothing would so
demorallze the party as to have its chosen
standard bearer play false, as some of the
tricksters propose 1t is vastly better that the
first district be lost than that the new party of
| the p ,ople be demoralized

To the Editor Of the Boston Journal:
We take pleasure in informing you that the
outlook for the Republican party in central
Maine was never brighter than today. Our
people are all wide awake and thorouglfks in
earnest. We are getting well organized,
and mean to strike from the shoulder when
the time comes to walk up to the polls. The
Republican club in this town numbers more
voters than we cast votes in 1879, and We shall
have our absent voters in addition At flag
raising on Saturday evening about 800 people
were present. Effective speeches were made
by Hon. S. D. Lindsey and Paul R. Seavey,
Esq. 1t was the most decided success of any
meeting ever held here so early in the cam
paign. The people of Maine want, no more
count outs" and propose passing the State
into the hands of the Republican party this
year by from five to ten Thousand majority.
Truly yours,
