Political Notes.

1t is stated that the fusion leaders in the
State Steal are somewhat irritated at the at
tempts of Gov. Plaisted to deny that he in any
way countenanced it. 1t is noticeable that in
republishing the history of the State Steal the
fusion newspapers preserve inexplicable 81
lence over the services of their leader in the
House, Hon. L. B. Swan, the reform Scythe
Sharpener.-Jo1rnal.
1t so happens-ifi it may properly be termed
an accident that in every political exigency
in this country the Republican party is thrust
into the forefront of the contest, and once
there, remains to fight out the cause OF the
people-Ind. Journal.
Somehow, within the past week, the current,
which several weeks since, began to turn slow
ly against the Fusionists, obviously gains nc
mentum, and it is conceded that the Fusionists
are rapidly losing ground. A leading Demo-
crat of Maine conversing with Lewiston
journal reporter, recently remarked: II am a
Democrat, but cannot stand such strange
alliance as we have this year. 1 shall not vote
for Plaisted, and you mark my words, hum
dreds of Maine Democrats will quietly stay at
home on election day."-Bangor Whig.
"wednesday evening joint debate was held
in Houlton between Rev. George M. Park of
Presque Isle, and Ira G. Hersey, Esq, of Houl-
ton, on this question: Has the Repu0llcan
party of the State of Maine been in the past,
and is it today, temperance party@ There
was large attendance, but the debate proved
quite one-sided affair, as Mr.. Hersey was
considerably overmatched, and made even a
poorer showing for the negative than was gem
orally expected. Mr.. Parks history of the
temperance record of the Republican party
was listened to with deep interest. The de-
bate is to be continued in other towns Of the
county"
have taken a good deal of pains to find out
and cannot ascertain that there are any de-
sertions from the Republican party in this part
of the state; on the other hand more or less
men who voted for Gen. Hancock will 60 for
Robbie and the Republican ticket. There will
be no boting on the gubernatorial ticket in
Cumberland. The numerous friends of
Thomas, who gave him an enthusiastic, vigor-
GUS support in the state convention will rally
for Robie as one man.-Portland correspon-

The Tariff Commission.

LONG BRANCH, Aug. 16-The tariff commits
sion haerd arguments this morning from Ed
ward Sherrer, chemist, in charge OF the U. 8.
labratory in New York, in favor Of retaining
the Dutch standard of color in assessing
duties on sugar, with supplemental authority
to the Treasury Department to resort to the
test OF the polariscope or other chemical anal
ysis in cases of supposed artificial discoloration
Also from Gustave Schwab of New York Incl
dentally on the same subject, but principally
on the subject of wool. A statement by him
that he would advocate free wool except that
such an argument would not be acceptable to
the commission, was resented by Mr.. Kenner,
who said that there was no authority for any
such intimation; the commission was willing
to hear free trade as we'll as protection argu-
ments Mr.. Schwab protested that he meant
nothing offensive but that his experience be-
fore Congressional committees had sconvinced
him OF the useessness of arguing free wool.

WASHINGTON.

Success of the New Three Per Cents.
WASHINGTON, August 16.-Applications for
the exchange of 81 per cent. bonds into the
new per cent. bonds are still being received
at the Treasury Department, While the ex-
acc amount of the surrendered bonds is not
yet known, it is positively asserted by officials
in position to know that the plan for the re-
duction of interest on the bonds will prove al
together successful. The amount of 81 per
cents. outstanding on the 1st of August was
about $417 ,Cs0,Cc0, and it was estimated that
about one-half of them would be exchanged
for the new bonds That this estimate was
not excessive is evidenced by the fact that
$3.50, ,O00, 900 of the 31s have already been sur
rendered by the national banks alone, and
there is every reason to believe that the
amount received from these banks will aggre-
gate nearly $3.50 900. The new bonds will
soon be ready, but will not be issued until the
questions concerning priority in the award of
numbers are decided.
Miscellaneous.
Lieut.. Samuel W. Very, United States Ma
w, will have charge of the transit of Venus

in the City Hall.
DUBLIN, August 16.-City Hall was densely
crowded to-day on the occasion OF the presen-
tation of the freedom of the city to Parneil
and Dillon. Nearly every mayor in Ireland,
except tn at of Belfast, was present. Mr.
Storey, Radical member of Parliament 1or
Sunderland, and all the home rule members
of Parliament were also present, but the Con-
servative members of Dillon municipality
were absent. When the roll of the corpora
ton was called at the mention of Gray's name
the whole audience arose and cheered enthu-
siastically for several minutes. The Lord
Mayor declared that Gray's sentence was
equivalent to six months imprisonment. he
advised the people to be most careful and
guarded in their language as they were IN the
midst of great crisis.
Mr.. Parnell, returning thanks to the corpo-
ration for the freedom of the city, said that
iu view of recent events it was clear that liber-
ty of speech no longer existed in alreland. he
and his associates, however, would take care
to bring the subject before the House OF Com
mons at the first opportunity. Meanwhile the
Irish party would probably continue to edu-
cate the people to govern themselves and
would advise them to accept whatever reform
might be offered them while pushing on to-
wards legislative independence. He advised
the higher classes while they yet had time to
join in endeavoring to bring about better
state of affairs. The people could no longer
tolerate their present degradation.
Mr.. Dillon followed Mr.. Parnell. He quoted
statistics showing that Ireland and especially
Dublin had been injured by the union.
