AndersOn's Shyness.

The refusal of Mr.. Anderson Of Port
land to consent to become democratic
candidate for Congress signifies a great
deal. While there appeared to be posi-
BILE chance for election Mr. Anderson was
an eager aspirant for the nomination. He
covets and would enjoy political honors.
Business never pressed him so but that he
could find plenty of time to attend to the
duties of office. We venture to say that
the difficulty with Mr. Anderson about ac-
cepting the nomination rendered him is
not because of pressing business affairs.
or dislike TO assume the responsibilities
Of office. but rather because he under
stands there is no hope of the election of
any democratic Congressman from the
State of Maine next September, and
shrewd unwillingness TO be put up as
target for the republicans to fire at. Were
there an election in prospect the case
would be altogether different in Mr.. An
derson's estimation. To be set up us
candidate merely to be knocked down is
not to his liking. There is no fun, honor
or profit in it.
But in spite Of MIR. Anderson's obiec-
tons the democracy have nominated him
and insist that he must accept. Some say
his declination means that he has sold out
the democratic party, and they want him
to stand up and face the music. They
denounce him and yet they press the
nomination upon him. This is very
singular state of affairs. rather tending to
increase. we should suppose. Mr.. Ander-
sons reluctance to accept than to remove
his objections. What he would like to do
no man can doubt. What he will do we
will not undertake to say. But if he now
accepts he will be a much worse beaten
man in the election than had he consented
at first and made himself willing sacri-
flee when the nomination was rendered
him. The party feels that he has given
them an unkind cut and they won't forget
it very soon.

NEARING THE END.
Guiteau Firm and Tranqml-rhe Hour
For the Execution Not Yet Fixed,
WASHINGTON June %

ARLINGTON, June Is.
Although the behavior of Guiteau during
the past three or four days generally has been
quiet and composed it has been marked by
occasional outbursts of the same fierce fana-
tic al spirit which impelled him during the
trial to denounce, by turns, everybody who
took any parts therein. This afternoon as
Deputy Warden Russ passed the door of his
cell Guiteau said to him in snariny tone ;
'If you have anything to do with nv hang
ing you will be damned. You will have to
take the responsibility"
During the greater part of the time. how
ever, the prisoner seems firm and TRANQUIL
and manifests neither unusual excitement nor
unusual depression. When Rev. DR.. Hicks
paid him visit, last evening, Guiteau was
in quite an undemonstrative mood. and in
reply to the minister's greeting and INQUIRIES
he said: my mind is free from all worldly
affairs and am ready to 60. / have no
enmity now against any one. The matter is
now between the Presidents conscience and
his God. l hope Friday there will be no
bungling, and that Croker will do his work
we'll. Prolongation Of my life now will not
contribute to my happiness, although it
would be for the good of the American peo-
ple."
The exact time for the execution has NOT
yet been fixed and will depend TO some ex-
tent upon the prisoners condition and his
wishes The death warrant, however. will
probably be read about one o'clock. Il is
not known whether or not the prisoner in
tends to make any extended remarks. II il
understood, however, that he will certainly
cay something.

The Boston Advertiser says: AT last a
real beginning in winding up the Sprague
estate has been made, the trustee having
sold by public auction few estates situa-
ted in the city of Providence, X. l. The
purchasers appear to have bought in good
faith. and the supposition that they were
buying lawsuit was dissipated in whole
or in part b, authority of the trustee. Up
10 this time several attempts had been
made to sell the estate gradually to the
Spragues themselves. allowing the latter
to pay . small PERCENTAGE on their
notes. and thus to extinguish them.
But these attempts failed. and
the estate as far as sold has gone to the
men Who combine cash with enterprise.
How far the money thus realized will be
used in exhnguishing the Sprague notes
and interest ON them remains to be seen.

The Bourbon Platform.

= 40 4SOAAh DOhh i 10&AASs AAhs
The old democrat at the Lewiston con-
vention who declared with m oath that
platforms did not mean anything, proba-
bly, had reference to democratic platforms
for the last twenty years. and more es-
pecially to the one just adopted at Lewis
ton.
First. this party that undertook to steal
the State government outright. and prac-
tees and approves fraud, bribery, and as
sassination in all the Southern States of
the Union. declares its profound disgust at
the purchase Of votes in elections. The
democracy have a way of carrying cleo
tons that suits them be.ter-by the tissue
ballot and false counting.
Second, the democratic party declares
in favor of civil service reform. Having
originated and followed the spoils system
down to the latest day they had control Of
any Offices, their conversion to civil SER
vice reform when out Of power. is sort
of death-bed repentance that plain people
of fair understanding take no stock in.
Third. the tariff and revenue taxation.
which exist just as they were left by
democratic Congress, and all efforts to
amend which by a competent commission
have been opposed by the democracy, are
denounced in thrilling manner.
Fourth. commerce and shipbuilding re-
ceive marked attention, but there is not a
word In the resolutions about the piratical
policy of the British government which
drove our commerce and vessels from the
ocean during the democratic rebellion
and for which our people are getting some
recompense in the distribution Of the &C.
neva award effected by the present repnb-
lican Congress-nor yet anything about
free trade in ships, that democratic politi-
cy which would close every shipyard in
the State and make us dependent on for
eign countries for vessels.
Fifth deals in glittering generalities
about the currency. depreciating national
bank notes and elevating treasury notes.
but withal declaring for a specie basis in
manner shockingly inconsistent with
the efforts of the democracy to defeat
return to specie payments when it was
living issue in Congress.
The other resolutions declare against
imprisonment for debt, applaud the
valiant services of Harris NJ. Plaisted as
Governor of the State, and compare his
leafs in the Council Chamber to his con-
duct in the war The resolutions as a
whole are very much mixed, owing prob
ably to the very mixed and uncertain con-
dition in which the party finds itself at
the present stage Of its existence.

Appropriations for library, historical work
and for departments of the sciences, were
largely increased over former years. Money
was appropriated to purchase mineral collec-
tons, also to enable Prof. Elder to visit and
examine the geological condition of a portion
Of Nova Scotia, and for a course Of lectures

DIR. Pepper was elected trustee to fill the
place of DIR. Dexter; Rev. Isaiah Record of

report shows that the institution was never
in so good condition financially as at the
present time. Commencement dinner speeches

Judge Bonney and other distinguished alumni
were made, and general expression of
bopefulness for the future pervade all. The
most perfect confidence in the ability, power
and success of the new president is enter
tanned by the students, alumni and trustees.
The prospect is good for very large fresh
