Saturday noon the ticket office of the Port
land and Rochester depot on Preble street was
entered by some unks own party aud over $500
in gold, silver and bills which were in box
stolen. The ticket agent left the office at in
the forenoon and everything was all right. On
his return at l p. m. he discovered that the
door had been pried open by chisel and the
lock broken. Nothing inside the room had
been disturbed excepting roll top desk, in
which he had placed the above named amount
OF money. The chisel had been used again
on this, the top having been pried up, taking
lock and all with it. Tue ticket Office is in
the eastern end of the depot, the telegraph
operatives and treasurer's offices being in the
western. Parties were at work in the last two
offices named at the time of the robbery and it
is a mystery how the theft could have been
committed without detection.

REEDS WITHDRAWAL.
What the Democratic Organ Has to say.
Lewiston Gazette.1

Lewiston Gazette.1
We have received, just before going to press
with this edition, the communication, printed
elsewhere. from Mr. Franklin Reed. the DEM
ocratic candidate for Congress, announcing his
withdrawal from the contest.
The position taken by the Democratic Con-
vention and sustained by the Democratic organ
of the district, in behalf of their organization
and the vindication of their principles and self
respect, has been abandoned
We need hardly assure our Democratic read
ers that the Gazette is no party to this surren-
der at the eleventh hour to the interests of
straight Greenbsckism, and takes no RESPONSE
bility for whatever consequences may follow
The Gazette enjoys the consciousness of hay-
ing performed its whole duty by the Democ-
racy of the Second District, in asserting their
party rights and principles and boldly sustain
ing to the best of its ability, and In good faith,
the Democratic candidate as long as he sus-
tanned himself With his withdrawal, leaving
no Democratic candidate in the field, the Ca
zette's duty in the contest ends
1t is a source of satisfaction to know that the
dignifed and self-respecting attitude taken by
the Democratic Convention and sustained by
this paper, has met not only the uniform sup
port and approval, with one contemplate ex-
ception, of the Democratic press of Maine
end of the leading Democratic organ of the
New England Democracy, the Boston Post,
but has been gracefully approved and admitted
to be right in the interests of future honorable
and effective union of the opposition, by the
leading Greenback paper in Maine, the Belfast
Age.
Under the changed aspects of the canvass
aud ON the eve of election we refrain for obvi-
GUS reasons, from making those comments on
the action just taken, which will readily sug-
gest themselves to the mind of every Demo-
Graf of the Second District. Beyond stating
clearly and enphatically, in justice to the GA
zette and its supporters, the unwavering oppo-
sition OF this paper to the attempts made in
side and outside of the party to degrade and
stultify the Democracy of Maine, we have
nothing further to say at this time. The can
didate nominated by the regular Democratic
Convention having withdrawn there is no
Democratic candidate in the field left to vote
for Under these circumstances each Demo-
GRAFT must Judge for himself and according to
his own pronptings of what is due to his party
and himself as to his duty next Monday.

Norway Corn Factory.

One OF the most convenient and most thor
oughly equipped corn factories built this year
in this state is the one erected by J. Winslow
Jones & Co. at Norway. The buildings are
large and arranged in such manner as to IA
cilitate the rapid handling of q large amount
Of corn. The factory is equipped with every
modern improvement in machinery and fix
lures. The systematic manner of converting
the corn from the ears to the prepared article
canned, labeled and ready for market, can
but impress the beholder that master hand is
at the helm 1t is believed that the machin-
cry used by this company makes the largest re-
turns to the farmer for his corn that it is posi-
bic to make. This factory employs about 300
hands for portion of the year and the money
paid them together with that paid the farmers
for corn is no small item, and is large addi-
ton to the business interests of the town.

N. W. Dutton, dry goods dealer, Lewiston,
has suspended.
st. Clair Bros, dealers in groceries and dry
goods, Hop, have failed.
The creditors OF W. Fl. Taylor, grocer,
Portland, will probably get nothing, there be-
ing no assets.
The attachment recently placed upon the
property of johnson & Phair, traders,
Pressure Isle, was for small amount, and re-
suits in no financial embarrassment
The creditors of M. M. Albee, grocer, South
Berwick, recently reported failed, are offered
SO cents on 81. The liabilities are about $4,000,
the assets consisting of $1,000 in notes and 5000
in cash.
1t is thought the creditors of Luther f. Pin
gree, manufacturer of artificial limbs, Port
land and Cape Elizabeth, will gel nothing, as
there are no assets. The liabilities are about
1880.
The liabilities OF Geo. w. Rich & Co., deal
ers in clothing, Portland, are $l3,953. The
assets, at their nominal value, aggregate $14,-
500, but will have to be scaled down a great
deal in determining their real value. No prop
osition toward settlement has been submitted
by the firm, bat probably will be soon.

A Complaint.

Mr.. EDIToR:-T Through your daily paper l

has been done to the pen, and it smells as bad
as ever hope Mr. Sterling, the policeman,
Oh the Marshall will attend to this at once and
