Mr.. Samuel n. Ball wishes too make known
to the public that he has never yet fallen into
"bad company" nor associated with those
whom he thought would be likely to lead him
"astray."
Mr.. Ball did not sign or have anything to dc
with the bond supposed to have been signed by
Mr.. Quinn.
When Mr.. Ball took charge of the Ameri.
can office he was granted permission by the
manager, Mr.. j. B. Freed, to make use of the
collections on the machines sold for the pur
pose of paying the expenses during the dull
season of the year. The character of Mr.. Bal
is at present, as it has ever been, in the estima
ton of his friends and all who known him.

Democratic Mayoralty Convention.

Democratic Mayoralty Convention.
The delegates chosen at the Democratic
ward caucuses to nominate a candidate for
mayor, met at Scandinavian Hall last evening
to perform that duty. OF the 40 delegates
chosen, only 81 were present and voted. The
convention was called to order by Gen. R. M.
Richardson. Mr.. M. P. Frank was chosen
chairman and e. S. Osgood secretary.
P. Mahoney of ward seven moved that
committee of five be appointed to select cam
didate for mayor.
Mr.. John Stinchcomb Of ward two objected
to this, saying that Mr.. Andrews, who would
doubtless be the candidate selected, had al
ready been nominated at the convention of an
other party, and he moved that he be nomin-
ated by reclamation.
The first motion was put and voted down,
and then Mr.. Stinchcomb repeated his mo-
ton.
This motion was seconded by Mr.. Hassett of
ward two and was about to be put when Mr..
Green of ward six asked if party usage did
not give the nomination to Frederick Fox, the
candidate of last year.
Mr.. Stinchcomb said that if there was any
OppOSltlOn ne WOulu Withdraw MS m0tlOn,
which he accordingly did.
A ballot was then taken with the following
result:

committee, consisting of Capt. Charles Fl.
Chase, Dennis Tobn and Nymphus B. Noble,
was appointed to wait on Mr.. Andrews and in
form him of his nomination, and request his
presence at the convention. In short time
the committee returned with the gentleman
who, on being introduced to the conventions
thanked them for the nomination and said he
believed it was something more than an empty
honor. He believed that if the Democrats
would go to work and give him their united
votes it would, together with the disaffection
existing in the other parties, make him the
next mayor of Portland. He cared nothing
for the empty honor and would not have ac-
cepted the nomination if he had not thought
he would be elected.
The convention then adjourned

THE wHIpPING POST.

The New York Herald in an article on
"Crnzy Glory" says: aft Guiteau could
only be hanged with proper ostentntion and
have several hundred columns in the news
papers about It, his vanity would in some
measure reconcile him to his fate.
Flogging is another matter. There is no
glory in being taken into damp corridor
of stone Jail, strapped up TO a post, and
there, in the presence of halfa dozen report
ers, receiving twenty-fiv stripes on the bare
shoulders. 1t would not look well in the
newspapers. It would be ignominious. In
stead of speech to report there would be
howls. Instead af soothing priests to com.
fort him and vast crowd 10 see him die
game there would be a sergeant Of marines
with we'll seasoned cat-o-pine tails, and a
police surgeon with liniment If some Of
these pislol-shooting ruffians who 60 about
committing homicide for notoriety could be
well aogged it would do them good. II
Guteau could have twenty stripes a week
for year or two as part fhis punishment
it would make President shooting very IN
popular.
On the whole there is great deal to be
said in favor of Rogging. There would be
no harm in trying the experiment If we
could begin on Guiteau.

PATIENT oFFICE-sEEx Et,.

With his grip-ssck stuffed with papers
and letters setting forth his claim to consid-
Grafton, such as good character, talent, ora
torical ability, campaign service rendered.
ETC., young Republican from West Virgin
ia went out to Washington, in the early
days Of the Administration. Immediately
upon arrival he hied himself to the State
Department to remind Mr. Blaine that West
Virginia had been "solia" for him in his
Presidential contest, and now she wanted to
be remembered for it. The Secretary prom
ised the young man an audience at future
date. Days and weeks passed, but the fu-
ture date promised seemed to have been for
gotten.
Strong in patience, but poor in pocket, the
gallant young Republican went to his home.
A few days ago he returned, and, to use
his own language, be proceeded to the De-
partment to see what prospect there was for
getting his grist ground.
He was ushered into the presence of the
private secretary, Mr.. Blaine's son, and the
following interview took place
Private secrctary-"Well, sir, What can
do for you ?"
"You may tell your father am here and
will advise him as to the proper distribution
of good consular appointments"
Private Secretary-"My dear sir, permit
me to say to you in all kindness that the
time of the Secretary is SO absorbed that lie
is unable to see many of his most intimate
personal and political friends"
"You don't think he'll be disappointed at
not getting to see me2''
Private secretaryL"I hope not, nr.'
Then the young man was politely bowed
to the door, but he hesitated, and returned
and said:
"Just one more request, Mr. Private Sec
retary. l would like to take my papers
from the pigeon hole, dust them off, and re-
turn them. They are nice, clean papers,
well written, on good per,and want good
care taken Of them. Don't handle them
very often, not more than once year. Read
them at very rare intervals, as you would
lot of old love letters, just to remind you
that l want to be foreign relation, or some
thing of that kind. If the walking is good
l will come again next fall and dust them
up again. You are a nice young man, and
I will bring you jug OF cider and bag of
apples. Good bye"

THE ABSENT ONE.

The summer sun is shining bright,
Balmy and sweet the breczes blow,
Fair Nature clothed In robes Of light
Would fain her JOY on me bestow.
But ah in vain the sun doth shine,
Charmless the breeze, the bird, the flower
For she who made them all divine
Has gone, and they have lost their power
Alas ! without her brilliant smile
The sheen of morn is midnight gloom.
Earth can no more my soul beguile,
My life is but living tomb
without her voice, the melody
Combined of all harmonious things,
Is only dlssonance to me,
The sound of harps with broken strings.
Her eye is like the radiant star
That ushers in the dawn of day,
Through dangers night when sorrows mar,
A sleepless watch It keeps alway,
Till peace and safety come again;
without its beams 1 dwell alone,
Forlorn among the sons Of men,
My pleasure, hope and mission gone.
Come back, my beauteous angel, come!
And never more from me depart;
Oh. seek thy final rest and home
Within my loving arms and heart
Together we will roam around,
And in the scene before us find
The glores Of each sight and sound
Reflected from each others mind.
