ROBBIE CLUB.
Address by Hon. G. W. woodman.

The Robe Club was addressed last evening
by the Hon. George w. Woodman OF this city.
Mr.. Woodman said that he came to speak,
not as q politician, but as busiBess man, of
the claims of the two great political parties.
He urged upon the members Of the club the
Importance of forming careful opinions upon
political subjects. The Democratic party of
to-day is very different sort of party from
what it was in the time Of Jefferson. He
sketched briefly the record of the two parties.
The Democratic party, as party, was in favor
of slavery; opposed tie war for the preserva-
ton of the Union; opposed the payment OF the
national debt He considered the claims OF
the bakers dozen of Greenback leaders IN
this city to be financial lights and leaders Did
they know anything, practically or theoretical
", of finance? Emphatically no! They were
like the chameleon, continually changing their
color.
Mr. Woodman discussed at length the ma
tional banking system, explaining its workings
and benefits; affording a currency that was
good the world over. He took up the reduc-
ton of the national debt one-third by the Re-
publican party, and the establishing of our
credit as a first-rate power in the markets of
the world. He criticised the Democratic
charge that the Republicans unjustly tax the
poor man. He showed by simple figures and
illustrations the falseness and insincsrity OF
this charge, and showed that the Republicans
aim to tax Injuries, not necessities, and that
the Democrats have opposed the reduction 81
taxation on certain articles. He also took up
protection, and illustrated how the poor man
was benefited thereby, and how protection
had built factories, created business, and given
to thousands.

The Arrest Of Two Men in Bangor for
Shooting Policeman and g.
Rumored Confession.

There is very sensational rumor current IN
Bangor to the effect that the murderer OF VIII
liam Elliot Of Glenburn has at last been dls-
covered. 1t is reported that the assassin has
confessed his guilt, and also Of misdemeanor
recently committed in Fredericton, n. b.
Early in August, late one night three men
raped upon the door of police magistrate IN
the above mentioned city, and when the man
came to the door fred upon him with revol-
vers The three miscreants then ran away,
but were pursued by an officer named Van
Dine, who cornered them in barn. One or
all of the three then fred upon the policeman,
wounding him seriously but not fatally. Two
OF the men named Lee, one an uncle to the
other, were captured, and the third is still at
large. 1t is with the Lees that the rumor mas
to do. The younger man, the nephew. Is
named George, and both he and his uncle Tor
merly lived in Glenburn, near Bangor. They
both bear rather hard name around Bangor,
having been concerned in various criminal al
fairs in that vicinity. William Elliot was
murdered in the valley avenue near the Ban
gor Ice Company's houses on the evening OF
February 5, 1879, by blow OF an axe in the
hands of an unknown person George Lee
lived in Glenburn at that time. These are the

There was an examination of candidates for
admission to the bar at Concord, Thursday.
Brown proceeded there, expecting to be exam

not be allowed. 1t now transpires that the
reason for this action is due to the fact that
some time ago Brown induced young Ger

Conductor Plaisted and Police Officer Charles
Hall of the Boston & Maine railroad, at the
police court in Dover under the following cir
cumetances: The pedlar came into Conductor
Plaisted's train and destroyed the SIS hat OF

the Supreme Bench in not allowing him to be
examined by the committee. He now threat
