ORIGIN OF REpUBLIcAN1sM.
The Great Democratic Bolt in Maine in 1852
and What Came of It.

The Great Democratic Bolt in Maine in 1859,
and What Came of It.
John J. Perry, in Oxford tMe. Democrat
Up to 1852 the old Democratic party in Maine
had successfully stood the assaults of Wings and
Free-soilers, and with the exception of two years
it had held political sway for over twenty years
1t was in 1852 that it received its first stunning
BLOWN the great 'boltswhich occurred in Oxford
county. In the month of July, of that year, the
regular Democratic county convention was held
on Paris hill Every town and plantation was
represented The convention consisted of two
wings familiarly known as the wildcats and
the Wool heads Between these two wings there
existed bitter political feud Its principal
cause was the action of the Wild cats in bolt
ing the nomination of Governor Hubbard the
year previous, on account of his signing the
Maine liquor law The anti -Maine-law wing of
the party voted for Anson q. Chandler, which
defeated Hubbard and threw the election of
Governor into the Legislature
Messrs. Walker and Holman were in 1852
members Of the Senate from Oxford county and
voted for Crosby, the Wing candidate. who was
elected, and against Hubbard, the regular Dem
ocraiic candidate. who was by Democratic votes
defeated Walker and Holman came up in this
July convention for denomination, and against
them were the late ONeiI w Robinson and
Judge Lyman Ransom. The battle between
these two wings of the party was fierce one,
lasting until 3 o'clock the next morning when
the ssWild-catsT won Walker and Holman were
declared nominated. The Wool heads were SO
incensed at what they deemed the outrageous
proceedings Of this convention that they went
away declaring eternal war on the ssWild-cats."
A mass convention Of the Democrats opposed
to these proceedings was called and met in Nor
way. 1t was large and enthusiastic gathering
Of the bone and muscle fthe party It was pre-
sided over by Hon. Noah Prince, Of Buckfeld,
then president of the Senate. Hon. w w.
Bolster was secretary, and the late DIR. T. H.
Brown chairman of the committee on resolu-
tons Hon. Isaac N Stanley, Of Dixfeld, and
Jonathan Moore, of Stoneham, were nomi-
mated for the Senate. Walker and Holman pulled
through by small majority; but that bolt was
the end Of the old Democratic party in Oxford
county then one Of the strongest Democratic
counties in the State. This bolt was really the
great procuring cause of the subsequent over
throw Of the old Democratic party in Maine and

FALSE LAND ENTRIES.
The Commissioner Informs the Agent at
Humboldt of Irregularities,

WASHINGTON, Aug IS. Acting Land Com
missioner Harrison has written to the register
and receiver of lands at Humboldt, California
informing him that the practice of allowing
timber-land claims to be fled at the time of fling
application to purchase land under the land act
of June 8, 1878. at any time within sixty days
of publication is irregular and unauthorized L
am informed the acting commissioner says,
that great numbers of fraudulent timber
land entries have been made at
your Offices. 1t is stated. as a particular
allegation, that the California Redwood Company
has hired men by wholesale to make such en-
tries, and that the agents of this company con
stantly appear at your Offices as agents of the
entry men who pay for land, and that these are
matters of common notoriety in your district.
If it be true that the entries are made in the
manner alleged, it appears to me strange that
your suspicious have not been aroused, and that
information of such or like circumstances has
not been communicated to this Office

the organization Of the great Republican party
upon its ruins This viii clearly appear from
the sequel.
The next year, 1853, the Democrats held a
State convention at Bangor, at which Albert
Pillsbury was nominated for Governor 1t was
disorderly, disgraceful convention, in which a
good many of its members very clearly ssillus-
trated1 their opposition to the Maine law By
this time the better element in the party became
ripe for revolt throughout the State. Political
revolution and reform was in the air and the
Oxford county bolters of 1852 were Just the men
for the emergency. They sounded the War-ery
for State convention, and, without any formal
request from any one two of its leading men
issued call for mass State convention to be
held at Portland, for the nomination of a eandi-
date for Governor. When the day for the meet
ing came, amid drenching rain about 800 of
the unterrifed Democrats of old Oxford
accompanied by two bands of music at
tended the convention And there
were men there from nearly every county in the
State, and the old City Hall in Portland was
well filed. The convention was one of the most
enthusiastic ever held in Maine The Hon. An
son 2. Morrill, was nominated for Governor by
acclamatlon The supporters of Morrill, made
the best fight they could, and at the election
gave their candidate IL 027 votes They also
elected thirteen members of the House. and by
an amalgamation with Wings and Free-soil men
elected four members Of the State Senate
Now what followed These Morrill, Democrats
as they were then called, held the balance of
power between the Democrats on one side and
the Wings and Free -soilers on the other BY an
arrangement, the Wings, Free -soilers and Nor
rlll Democrats practically became one
party,-and this coalition resulted in the
election of the Hon. Noah Smith Speaker
OF the House. and John J. Perry clerk.
In filling vacancies IN the Senate
they acted together, and had it not been for an
objectionable pressure brought upon a Whig
member of the Senate, by some of the straight
Wings in the party, Mr.. Morrell would have been
elected Governor. As it was the Hon. William
Pitt Fessenden was elected to the United States
Senate. His election consolidated these three
parties into one. 1t was here that the Repub-
hcan party was formed to all intents and
purposes; and it was here that it was agreed and
understood that these three parties should there
after act together. And so early as the next
June following the three parties in the Second
congressional district lad agreed to support one
and the same candidate It should be borne in
mind that all these things took place long time
before the Franklin county convention at which
it is claimed the Republican party was born

CROP PROSPECTS.
The Outlook for Wheat and Corn in Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois.
Indianapolis.

WASHINGTON, Aug 10. The August crop re-
ports contain the following from the State
agents of the Agricultural Departments
Ohio--A very severe drought prevailed all
over Ohio in July, especially severe in the
eastern and northeastern parts, which damaged
the pastures, tobacco and early potatoes Wheat
and oats were too far along to be seriously in
iured Abundant rains came all over the State
July "a %. 26 and q, which will save the corn
and early potatoes on good ground that had been
well tended. Owing to the dry weather the hay
both timothy and clover, was secured in superb
condition, as were the wheat rye barley and
oats. Wheat as far as thrashed is yielding
rather better than was expected and is of fine
quality. On the whole the agricultural situa-
fion is encouraging.
Indiana--W Wheat Is turning out much better in
quality and quantity than was expected The
yield Of 1882 will be equaled if not surpassed
Corn tobacco, potatoes and pasture have suf-
fered from drought The rains during the past
ten days, however, have improved the condition
of each, and the prospects are good for an aver
Hlinois-The condition of corn is rated three
points lower than on July ], Drought prevailed
during the greater part Of July in q majority Of
the thirty-fou counties in the southern division
Df the State, and during the last week Of July
heavy rains generally prevailed throughout the
State, and In many sections strong wind pros
|trared the crops. In the parts where the drought
prevailed the recent rains, it is believed, will
more than compensate for the damage by winds.
July furnished but few hot nights and the aver

and Of the city. It's literary and rnisceIIane-
GUS features are Of the best
THE WEEKLY JOURNAL is newspaper that

in the hands Of those persons in their
counties who are not now readers Of
sore sound Republican paper The
tariff question is the one issue which
is likely to be most prominently dis
cussed, and to this the Journal pays especial
attention, advocating the maintenance of the
principle Of protection to American industry
in whatever revision Of the tariff laws may be
made necessary in the future developments Of
business and labor. In this question the
farming community is deeply interested, and
the discussions Of the journal will be
largely directed to the agricultural aspects Of
the question.
THE WEEKLY JOURNAL is the only paper in
Indiana that publishes regularly Ten Pages,
and this will be continued throughout the
campaign, despite the low price. Send in
names at once, either singly or in clubs and

laws unnecessarily interfering with the habits
and customs of any Of our people, which are not
offensive to the general sentiments of the civil
lied world and which are consistent with good
citizenship and the public welfare, are unwise
and yexatious.
The commerce of nation, to great extent,
portation should, therefore, be literally fostered
Within the limits of the Constitution the general
government should so improve and protect its
natural waterways as will enable the producers
of the country to reach profitable market.
The people pay the wages of the public en-
ployes, and they are entitled to the fair and
honest work which the money thus paid should
command. It is the duty of those intrusted with
the management Of their affairs to see that such
public service is Forthcoming.
The selection and relation of subordinates in
government employment should depend upon
their ascertained fitness and the value of their
work, and they should be neither expected nor
allowed to do questionable party service; the in
terest Of the people will be better protected the
estimate of public labor and duty will be inn
mensely improved, public employment will be
open to all who demonstrate their fitness to
enter it, the unseemly scramble for place under
the government, with the consequent impor
tunity which embitters official life, will cease,
ard the public departments will not be filled with
those who conceive it to be their first duty to
aid the party to which they owe their places, in
stead of rendering patient and honest return to
the people.
believe that the public temper is such
that the voters of the land are prepared to sup
port the party which gives the best promise Of
administering the government in the honest,
simple and plain manner, which is consistent
with its character and purpose. They have
learned that mystery and concealment in the
management of their affairs cover tricks and
betrayals. The craftsmanship they require
consists in honesty and frugality, prompt re
sponse to the needs of the people as they arise
and the vigilant protection of all their
varied interest If 1 should be called to the
chief magistracy of the Nation by the suffrages
of my fellow-citizens, will assume the duties
Of that high Office with solemn determination
to dedicate every effort to the countrys good,
and with humble reliance upon the favor and
support of the Supreme Being who, believe,
will always bless honest human endeavor in CON
