AUGUSTA, MAINE, June 9.-This
has been the greatest day, or rather
evening, that the capital city of Maine
has seen for long time, or perhaps
in its history. Indeed, it has been a
red-letter day in many of the other
cities and towns in Maine through
which the triumphal Blaine train
skipped oyer the rails en- route from
Chicago to the home city of Hon.
James G.. Blaine. AT twenty min
utes of six this evening the special
train containing the Blaine Club D
Maine and prominent California dei-
egates, together with leading Repab-
licans of Connecticutan and well-known
citizens of other points in Maine, roll
ed into the Augusta depot. Car
loads of enthusiastic friends of the
Maine statesman had been added at
different points, until the train
numbered thirteen cars and no soon
er did it appear in sightth bands of
music struck up lively airs, steam
whistles footed, the bells of the city
started a merry peal, and the BOOM
ing Of cannon added to the almost
deafening enthusiasm. AT every
point along the route from the West
where the train stopped there was
great enthusiasm. People, learning
of the coming of the train, would
congregate in the dep0ts and make
the air ring with cheers for Blaine and
Logan. At Portland five cars were
waiting to connect with the Blaine
train. The leading car was gaily
decorated with bunting and por-
traits, and was engaged by Collector
Dow for select party of leading cit
liens and public men. Chambers
Band accompanied this party. The
train rolled in at 2;40 p. NJ. amid
cheers and welcome and the strains
ofthe band. AT Portsmouth address
es were made by Congressman Bou-
telle, GOV. Roble and Gov. Davis, of
California. The train made short
stop at Portland, and Mr.. Wing, OF
Auburn. made pleasing little
speech, after which there was an artil-
lery salute. The train reached Bruins
wick at 4 O'Clock. Here there we're
four cars from Lewiston and Auburn,
decorated with Blaine insignia, and
three more from Rockland and other
cities on the Knox and Lincoln Road,
all filled with delegates to join the
Blaine train. A great crowd with a
band Of music greeted the California
and Maine delegates with cheers,
Bowdoin students being conspicuous
in their enthusiasm. Senator Nc.
Clure, of California, made a ringing
speech, after which Congressman
Boutelle made speech, which was
cut short by the starting of the train
at 400 P. M. for Augusta. General
Chamberlain would have joined the
train here, but was detained. At
a salute Of artillery welcomed the
train, but stop of only two minutes
was made. All along the route the
flying train was greeted with cheers
and the waving of hankerchiefs, par
ticularly along the Kennebec river.

A Popular Ticket.

WASHINGTON, June THE ver-
diet of the politicians and law makers
upon the work at Chicago yesterday.
rendered after having 'slept over it, 7"
is that it is the strongest ticket that
could have been nominated. Occa-
sionally you hear Democrat say that
it is an easy ticket to beat, but that
would be heard of any nomination.
Semi occasionally you hear Repub-
lican say that Arthur or Gresham
would have been stronger; but they
all say that they personally will sup
port the ticket, and that il will, in
their opinion, be elected. Indeed,
the absence ofsoreness and grumbling
is marked feature of the situation
here to-day. Even the growIs of the
New York Times have. not encour-
aged any of the disappointed ones to
rebellion or rebellious words. Your
correspondent has not found or heard
of a Republican in political circles
here to-day who endorses the course
of the Times, or who indicates an I'M
Willingness to support the ticket of
Blaine and Logan. Those who were
opposed to Blaine say that Logan's
name adds so much strength to the
ticket that they are well satisfied with
it. Those who were tor Blaine orig
inally say that Logan's nomination
was the best that could have been
made for second place, and that it
makes assurance double sure, The
careful canYass of the situation shows
a belief that the Republican ticket
will carry New York, but even with
out that state it would be successful.
1t is expressed by those who are fa-
miliar with the situation on the Pa
cific coast that success in those states
is settled beyond peradyenture, while

James G. Blaine.

James Gillespie Blaine was born in
Washington county, Pennsylvania,
January 81, 1880. He graduated from
Washington College in 1S47, taught
school in Kentucky for several years.
In 1852 he became a teacher in the
Pennsylvania Institute for the In
struction of the Blind in Philadel-
phia. In 1854 he went to Kennebec,
Maine, here he became the editor of
the Kennebec Journal. AS an elO-
quent and powerful speaker he had
already gained prominence when, in
1858, he was chosen a member of the
Maine legislature, He went as Rep
resentative to Congress first in 1862 !;
was made Speaker of the House in
1869, and did not lay down the gayel
until 1875, when the Democratic ma
jority elected Samuel ], Randall his
successor. The ensuing year he re-
eeived the highest number of votes
on the opening ballot for President
in the National Republican conven-
ton at Cincinnati, which finally
nominated Mr.. Hayes. Appointed
the successor of the dead Senator
Morrill,, of Maine. in 1878, Mr.. Blaine
was again a popular Presidential cam
didate in 1880, receiving 2S2 votes on
the first ballot. Mr.. Blaine, on the
election of Gen. Garfield, was made
Secretary of State, which position he
resigned on the death of the Presi-
dent, eight months latter.
In 1867, while Mr.. Blaine was alb
sent in Europe, the theory of paying
the public debt in greenbacks was
started in Ohio by Mr.. Pendleton
and in Massachusetts by Gen. Butler.
just after his return in the autumn,
at a special or adjourned session of
Congress in November, Mr.. Blaine
assaulted the proposition in a speech
of great research. 1t thus happened
that he was the first man in either
branch of Congress who spoke against
the financial heresy that in subse-
quent years has engrossed so much
of public attention.
Mr.. Blaine's crusade against Chi
nese emigration is one of the most
marked points in his career. The
New York Tribune of February "a,
1879. contained long letter from the
Senator in reply to William Lloyd
Garrison, which may be taken as de.

John A Logan.

John A. Logan, the senior Senator
from Illinois, was born on farm in
Southern Illinois about fifty-eight
years ago. He received q common
school education, and was elected
county clerk when he was scarcely
out of his teens. He enlisted as a pri-
vate in the war with Mexico, and left
the army quartermaster. He then
studied and practiced law, but his
aptitude for politics reasserting itself,
he became a member Of the Illinois
Legislature in 1852, and again in 1856,
haying served one term as prosecut-
ing attorney in the meantime. He
was a Presidential electOr in 1856,
and then went to Congress as a Dem
Ocrat, serving continuously until the
outbreak Of the civil war. Entering
the army as colonel, he attained the
rank of maior-general, and command.
ed an army corps, accompanying
Sherman on his march to the sea. In
1865 he was appointed minister to
Mexico, but declined, He was elect
ed to the Fortieth and Forty first
Congresses as a Republican, and in
1871 was chosen to succeed Hon.
Richard Yates in the United States
Senate. After serving one term he
returned to his law practice, but was
again sent to the Senate in 1879.

A letter from Flintstone, under
date of Friday last, says that the wife
CT Ephram Lee, who died on We'd
nesday last, was buried at that place
on Thursday. Mr.. Lee has been the
principal of the public school at Rush,
where he resides, for some two or
three years, and by his ability as a
teacher and his general department
as a gentleman, has won the conf
dence, respect and esteem of all by
whom he is surrounded. This is the
second ordeal ofthis kind that Mr.. Lee
has been called upon to pass through,
having lost his first wife about three
years ago. A very singular circum-
stance is connected with the death Of
this lady. About four months ago
Mrs. Lee gave birth to fine healthy
boy, and when he was about three
weeks old his nurse noticed very
prominent fullness of his-breasts, and,
the matter eirg called to the notice
of the attending physician, he found,
upon examination, that both breasts
were raised from the surface of the
body nearly a half finger length and
seemed to be quite full. When the
doctor pressed upon them with his
fingers over tablespoonful of milk
was easily drawn from each breast.
and the boy, who had seem ed to be
in misery before, was apparently re-
lieved at once. This is vouched for
by DR.. b. B. McElfish, who was the
attending physician. Cun,6. AYe-,

MANITOBA AND CANADA.
Amos Rowe, of the Winnipeg Times,
interviewed, and Gives His
Opinion of the Sit
nation.

CHICAGO, March S.-Amos Rowe, pro-
prietor of the Winnipeg Times, is in the city
on his way to Manitoba, after sojourning a
couple Of weeks at the Dominion capital. He
said, upon being questioned by representa-
tive of the Associated Press, in regard to the
present agitation in Manitoba, and the de-
mands by the legislature of that province, that
the Dominion government had con-
ceded the granting to COM
pany for the construction of the
Winnipeg and Hudson Bay railway, a free
subsidy of 1880 acres per mile. The pro-
posed line is about 600 miles long. The char
ter will be granted at this session of parlia-
ment, and will provide for its immediate con-
struction. The government has also appro-
priated S15, 900 to provide for the survey of
the Hudson straits. A steamer will soon
start from Newfoundland for that purpose,
and report on the practicabliity of that
route as an outlet will soon be made. The
distance from the Hudson Bay coast to Liv-
erpool is something less than from
New York. The Dominion government will
also, in all probability, grant to Manitoba the
proceeds of the sale of each alternate section
of land in the province yet unsold, and also
of all the tribal lands, reserving only the
right to administer the sale of these lands
At the capital these are considered very fair
propositions by the leading politicians, and
Mr. Rowe said, in conclusion, that from the
best obtaianble information he could say
that these were all the demands the Domin-
ion government would concede.

Utterly Helpless aud Crippled.

The st. Louis, Mo-,
Post Dispatch, published
the following among its
local editorial reports:
A most remarkable
case has Just come to
the notice of q reporter
of this paper, who hay
ing been informed of
the wonderful cure of
Mrs. Phoebe Rice, 1,20S
Madison street, a sister
of Hon. H. Clay Sexton,
Chief of the st. Louis
Fire Department, yisi-
ted that lady at her resi-
dence. Mrs. Rice made
her statement, without
the least reluctance and
very readily said that for
the past seven years, she
had been a sufferer from
acute, inflammatory rheu-
matism, which had affect
ed the muscles Of the
hands, contracting them
so badly she could not
comb her hair, hold q
needle or pick up a pin,
and rendered the low
er limbs SO helpless
she required clutches
to move about. Dur
ing ten months she
was obliged to carry the
right hand in a sling.
Physicians were called i'll,
but gave her only tenn
porary relief. Some
time ago one of her
children was afflicted
with a contraction Of the
muscles of the lower jaw,
which turned her mouth
to one side; a few appli-
cations of st. Jacobs Oil
restored the features to
their natural conditions,
and Mrs. Rice began to
look hopefully towards it
for her own cure. A single
application, she said,
made her a firm be-
liver in its virtues, as
the effect was instanta-
neous, and she was
greatly benefited. The
continued use of it
brought her to the hap
ply condition in which
the reporter saw her,
with the free use of her
limbs and in perfect
health, cured. She was
very enthusiastic in her
commentators Of the
pain-relieving and cura-
tive powers of st. ia
cobs Oil, which she said
had accomplished more
for her in q few weeks
than all the other RENE
dies the physicians had
recommended in the
past seven years. She
can now run up and
down stairs, she said,
and her hands were as
useful, in every respect,
as they had been before
she began to suffer,
seven years ago. "God
bless St. Jacobs OIL"
the good lady exclaimed
as the reporter was about
to leave. Mrs. Rice has
lived in this city thirty
years, and her statement,
worthy of all credence,
is fully corroborated by
her friends and neigh
bors, and by her own
children, who were fully
cognizant of her help
less condition before she
began to use the wonder
full remedy.
