condition of the party in the State was anx'
iously discussed, and a matter OF holding a
special session of the legislature canvassed. 1t
seemed to be quite general opinion that twas
extremely hazardous to run the chance OF elect
ing four Congressman on general ticket, but
some of the more sanguine ones were confident
that it could be done. The committee was in
favor of complete fusion with the Democrats,
and war to the knife on Scion Chase. The
committee were iubilant over the action OF the
temperance men in Portland who bolted the
Republican ticket, and regarded 1t as policy to
iudiciously foster the foment. 1t was decided
to hold the State convention in Bangor on the
same day with the Democrats. The Democrat
ic State Committee meets here in about Two
weeks, when the question of a special session
will be further agitated. Journal

The Board of Trade and Merchants Elk
change.
Mr.. EDIToR:-I noticed a few days since in
your paper that by vote OF the Board OF
Trade the admission fee to membership is re-
duced from five to three dollars Both these
institutions are a credit to the city and should
receive generous support from our merchants
and Others 1t seems to me that it would be
graceful thing to do for merchants to pay for
and have their clerks visit the. Exchange daily,
or in the evening, when many have spare time
whick will be spent somewhere, and possibly
prevent their visiting resorts which may be
questionable, to say the least. Beside the
boards which give the market reports, and I'M
portant telegraph news, the papers on file are
fresh and contain not only the current news
of each day, but as well, good solid reading for
young men.
Allow me as daily visitor to the Exchange
TO make one suggestion to our most worthy SUI
perintendent Rich and the Directors. A read
ing room to be enjoyable should be quiet but
the entrance door is a nuisance. Being In con-
slant use by the telegraph boys and others 1t
is one constant bang, Earring the whole room.
This can be remedied at small expense by
having the door swing each way perfectly
noiseless and thus afford comfort and quiet to
all who visit the room.
