POLITICAL.
Opening the Campaign in Ohio.
GOV. FOSTER MAKES A STRONG
SPEECH.

CLEVELAND, o., Aug. 5.-Gov. Foster open
ed the campaign on the part of the RepuDl-
cans at Elyria to-day, in the presence OF the
county convention and large delegations OF
citizens. His remarks, especially on the liquor
question, outlining the attitude and poilcy OF
the party. were enthusiastically indorsed lie
said: upon the issues hereto Joined between
shestwo parties, state and national, there Is no
good reason for any hope on the part OF the
Democratic party for succe 's. But a new
question has arisen, that dc IS seem to give
them great hope of success. L refer to the
recent act of the General Assembly, in its
proposal to tax the traffic in intoxicating
liquors, and to secure quiet and orderly SAD
bath. We prof. ose that Sunday shall be day
OF rest, not of orgies and carniyals. (Great ap-
plause) The howl goes up at once that we
propose to invade the sanctity of personal
liberty. Why? Simply because the profits of
one days sales of liquor are prohibited For
myself, and think that speak for the Repub-
lican party, we desire that every man shall
make such use of his time as he shall deem
proper and expedent, as long as he does not
interfere with the rights of others, and his con-
duct is in keeping with the public good. we
believe that Sunday should be rot apart, IL Tor
no higher motive, as day of rest and recrea-
ton We are told that we are invading the
personal liberties of the citizens, and that we
have no right to such an invssion DO we IN
terfer9 with any mans right? L ssk. do we In
wade his liberty? Is it great privilege to get
needs the rest, and the Republican party pro-
poses to stand by the principle, and insist that
the saloon keeper conduct his business the
same as other business men are compelled to
do ON Sunday. The action of the liquor dealers
in their threats against the execution OF the.
Smith Sunday law raises questions even high
er than restraint in the traffic or the closing OF
saloons on Sunday. 1t has raised the question
whether the law shall be enforced or not. The
Liquor Dealers Association openly deties the
law. 1t does not propoce to follow legitimate
channels and repeal the law, but in some in
stances and some localities it has sought to
coerce judges and introduced perjury into the
Jury box, and the Democratic party Is in open
alliance with the assc citation, declaring its op-
position to order and enforcement of the laws.
The Republican party must stand firm for
restriction of the liquor traffic and the enforce
ment of law" He concluded by stating that
the Republican party was devoted to the
protection of home industries and reform IN
the civil service.

tee of the Ohio Republican Assc ;iation, in re-
gard to the purchase of the Garfield mansion
here, examined the mansion from top - bot
tom this afternoon. Members of the commit

have so many and such spacious &c )ms. The
committee will decide upon a recommendation
next week. The chances seem to be favorable
to the purchase.

FAIRFIELD.
The Corporation to Purchase Steam
Engine-Rebuilding on the Ruins
Personal Items, Etc.
August 9TH, 1882.

August 9TH, 1882.
At a meeting of Fairfield Village Corpora
ton, held today. and which was fully attended,
it was unanimously voted to purchase steam
fire engine, and the sum of 5000 was raised to
pay for the same. Thus Fairfield is repeating
the history of almost all the towns and villages
in our State who neglect to provide proper
means to protect property until too late With
two good hand engines, many felt that steam
or was unnecessary, but had we owned one two
weeks ago, we could have saved 900 worth
of the property consumed.
The officers of the Kennebec Framing Com.
pany have generously offered to provide an en-
gineer for one year, during mill hours, without
expense to the corporation.
A committee, consisting of w. G. Rice, s.
81. Blackwell and T. G. Head, was appointed
to organize a company to man the steamer
when it arrives. The assessors will proceed at
once to investigate the different makes, and
purchase as quickly as possible. =
The sudden deaths in our village within the
past week have cast gloom over all, and peo-
pie are asking, "What is to come upon us
next?"
The young lad drowned at the picnic We'd
nesday son of A. e. Lawrence, was buried yes
terday from his fathers house. Rev. A. Bat
ties of Bangor attended the services.
Mrs. O. W. Lswry, after months of pain and
acute suffering, died yesterday.
Already, upon some of the ruins, new build
mgs are appearing. j. A. q e. A. Cilley
were the first to start the foundation for their
large furniture mandatory, and with charac-
teristic energy, they are pushing on, hoping to
be making furniture within eight weeks from
date of the fire.
The Maine Manufacturing Company are al
ready at work, having, after going over the
ground elsewhere, decided that Fairfield is the
best place The Golfer dam across the pond
is in, and the millmen are at work upon their
property preparatory to rebuilding. 1t looks
now as though every mill destroyed will be re-
placed by larger and better structure.
The less of the force pump has put stop to
the street sprinkling, and we are reveling in
dust to our eyes. The wonder now is how we
lived SO long without sprinkler.
The army worm has appeared in one or two
places in the back part of the town, doing con-
siderable damage.
Hardly word is said yet about political
matters, and the prospects of an exciting cam
paign are diminishing We would like to pass
through one campaign free from stump speech
eS torchlight professions, barDecues ana NOISE,
and where the people of the state would cast
their vote in accordance WIN thelr own best
Judgment. We hope for that time to come.
Two of our churches are closed for the
month, while the pastors are seeking rest and
comfort Rev. Miss Haynes of the Universal
list church, is in Waltham, Mass.
The extreme heat of the past week has dried
up vegetation of all kinds. Wells and cisterns
are falling, and rain is anxiously looked for.

Dissatisfaction Among the Irish
Constabulary.
THEY THREATEN TO RESIGN.

DUBLIN Aug. 6.-According to kilograms
received tonight from every part of Ireland
the constabulafy are determined to have their
grievances remedied or they will resign. Gilt
ford Lloyd had the Limerick men paraded. yes
terday and upbraided them for their conduct.
He said if they were soldiers they would be
shot. The men replied they were not soldiers
and denied they were acting disloyally. They
refused to withdraw their circular to the force.
The Inspector General had them again para
ded and told them they were acting badly; that
the government ives losing confidence in their
loyalty and they were playing into the hands Of
the enemies of the government He asked
them to withdraw their circular and promised
if they would do so their claims would be re-
presented to the government and certain al
lowances would be made to them. The men
again refused and threatened to resign within
eight days if they did not in the meantime re-
ceive favorable answer to their memorial 1t
was intimated the officers in consequence of
Lloyd's language would not parade for him
again.

What Four Inches of Rain Did in
Pennsylvania.
HARVESTING OPERATIONS SUSPEND
EDIN MICHIGAN.

CHAMBERsBURG, Penn, Aug. 6.-Four inch
es of rain fell here Today in an hour and a
half flooding the streets and filling many cel-
lars. Falling Spring river, overfowed its
banks, and persons living in the vicinity have
been compelled to move out Concocheague
Creek and Spring are still rising. There are
washouts on the Cumberland Valley railroad
and several on the Western Maryland road.
LANSING, Mich, Aug. 6.-The rains of the
past week have caused an entire suspension of
the harvest in thisssection. Two-thirds of the
wheat CROP is still in the field either in shocks
or uncut, and more or less damaged much OF
it is ruined.
Damage to Railways and Other Property
Loss Estimated at 100000.
COLUMBUS, o., Aug 5-Information is that
trains on the Ohio Central road are not run
ming farther south than Moxa bala, and it will
require several weeks of repairs before they
can get beyond that point. The loss by the
waterspout of Thursday is much greater than
at first supposed From three miles north of
Corning to South Bend, and up the west
branch of the Ohio Central to Buckingham, a
distance of 16o or Is miles, the track is almost
entirely destroyed Most all the live stock in
two valleys was swept away. 1t is believed
the loss to the railroad, mines and private in-
diyiduals will approximate $500,000.

ADJOURNMENT OF CONGRESS
A Possibility of It's Occurring To-Day.


WASHINGTON, August 6.-All the annual ap-
preparation bills have now obtained final pas
sage in both houses of Congress and it is gen
orally expected the session will end tc morrow
evening The only element of uncertainty in
the present outlook arises from the declared
intention of Re publican Senators to make an
effort to pass the bill for the reduction of in
ternal taxation just in the shape in which it
came from the House without any amend
ments The Democratic side of the House
have however declared a firm conviction that
this bill as framed in the House is not truly a
measure of relief for the people and that they
will not consent to its passage without unlim-
ited opportunity for debate and amendments
we'll understood; also there is no prospect of
securing the presence of a quorum of repre-
sentatiyes to act upon the amendments if any
changes should be made in the bill during the
suggested prolongation Of this session and in
view of the unpromising situation there seems
a strong probability that the general expecta-
tion of final adjournment tomorrow will not
be realized. The Senate will probably devote
a large part of the day to the transaction OF
executive business, and the slimly attended
House may be expected to do as little as posi-
Bile while awaiting receipt of the adjourn
ment resolution from the Senate.
