The chairman of the republican State
committee of New Hampshire has re-
ceived explicit and absolute assurances
from all parts of the State that there is no
Independent movement whatever in New
Hampshire. and that the democratic talk
about bolt from Mr. Blaine is the sheer

Democracy

The national democratic conventions
present a good field for observing the
democratic party on a broad scale. In
such "A gathering features come out prom
inently which do not appear in local meet
ings.
In the present convention locker on
reports: When the band struck up
Dixie there was round of applause,
and the rebel yell' came up from the tiers
of Southern delegates who sat mute and
Indifferent under the strains of Yankee
Doodle few moments later" So it APP
pears that the rebel yell" is not yet ban
ished from democratic conventions, and
that tavorite confederate air is preferred
to the national tune which comes to us
from the Revolution.
We also find as one reason urged for the
retention of the unit rule by the democracy
that it is in accordance with the doctrine
OF State Rights, the chief cornerstone OF
the dead Southern contederacy. Democ-
racy still clings to that doctrine though it
went down under the shock of battle after
rivers of the best blood OF the nation had
flowed in the struggle over it. The
State is sovereign" shouted the delegates
who upheld the unit rule in the contest at
Chicago. even as the secesSionists shouted
when they cast off their allegiance to the
Union and buckled on their swords to
fight for an independent confederation of
states. In the republican convention
each delegate cast his vote as
he pleased, but democratic delegates
have not that liberty, they must vote as
the State convention directed.
Again, it is noticeable that there is not
a representative OF the colored race among
the $50 delegates in the national democrat
ic convention. though the colored people
in this country number more than seven
millions. and under the constitution are
cd to all the political rights that the

Anew WORDS ABOUT OURSELVES

On the ground that it is right that we should show
those who may not be aware of the extent of our
business, What we are capable OF, may be par.
doned for few words about ourselves.
We have been successfully engaged in general pub
fishing here for nearly twenty years. The buildings
that we occupy-three in number-were built nv
ourselves, and are now owned by ourselves, are OF
brick and stone, situated on opposite corners and
are five and six stories high. We have twenty print
ing presses, fifteen of which double presses and
alone capable of turning out much work as thirty
ordinary trsciass presses the outlay for the above
exceeded three hundred thousand dollars cash With
out any exception ours is the most extensive com.
modious, and best appointed subscription publishing
house in the world. Our employees number nearlv
hye hundred For the past six years have run
our printing works more than half the time day and
night Our cash receipts run high as from one
hundred and fifty TO one hundred and seventy thou
saud dollars per month regular business of
this campaign business is extra and will largely
increase eur cash receipts.
For the past nve years we have paid over five hum

The statement in the letter Of the Au-
gusta correspondent Of the Boston Herald
Of June 10th, that S. s. Marble would not
support Mr.. Blaine is untrue. Mr.. Mar
BILE is as eminent and loyal republican
as there is in Maine and he will render
effective service for the republican party
in the coming crmpaign. He is not a
kicker, or a boiler, or a sorehead, but a
true and staunch republican.

Berkshire republicans, says the Trav

A Pittstield letter says: THE Irish

Logan. Father Purcell has declared his
purpose to vote the republican ticket, and
a leading coal dealer, who employs large
force Of Irishmen, says that with one or
two exceptions they have all fastened to
affirm their intention of casting their bal
lots tor Blaine and Logan"

Edition VIII Outsell All Others
Ten to One.
lst Because il is the authentic edition published
from Augusta, the home of Blaine, and has had the
advantage OF the mos, complete knowledge OF his

ed wita the author and publishers in order that
work might be most complete and correct IN all
particulars
Sd Because Col. Conwell is better fitted for writ

all his earnestness knowledge, and ability Will be

what you can just as well receive $1,000 for; you can
sell ten books of the Augusta edition where You
would hardly sell one of any other.
9Th. Because our volume Is pictorial Olograpav
and illustrates the most interesting scenes In the
life of the candidate. Our volume is splendidly
illustrated

of the early life of the distinguished andis

How to Tame a Ret.

Police Captain Charles Mcdonnell was
walking through South Fifth Avenue,
at midnight, when he saw what APP
peared to be small white kitten play
ing ON the sidewalk in front of him.
After short chase he secured the ami
NAL. and by the light of a street lamp
discovered. to his mOmentary consuer-
nation. that it was white rat 1t APP
peared to be perfectly tame and at home
with him.
He slid it into his overcoat pocket and
took it to the station house, where it
was put on exhibition in cigar box.
Its beauty surprised all who saw it. 1t
was pure white, had pink eyes and
claws, and shapely tapering tail. L.
made a peculiar noise. like the purring
Of kitten, as it ate bread and cheese
from the Captains hand, and it held its
tail erect when it was stroked.
1t remained in the station house
twenty-four hours before it was claimed.
Then its owner, stOekeeper on
South Fifth Avenue, arrived and ex-
planned how rats are tanned.
'.It's the easiest thing in the world"
he said. Take the most ferOcious rat,
throw it into pail of water, and leave
it there until it becomes exhausted and
is about to drown. Then take it out,
roll it in wadding, and put it in a warm
place. When the rat comes to it will
evince the deepest gratitude. 1t will
lick your hands and follow you about
the house like dog, and can be taught
a number of tricks"
