The three New York Congressional Dis
tricts which elected delegates to the Republi-
can National Convention on Wednesday did
not give any Bingle candidate for President
a strong send-off. In the Buffalo district
the two delegates chosen favor the re-nomin-
alton of President Arthur, In the Albany
district there was a struggle which ended in
a division of the convention and the election
Of two sets of delegates, one for Mr.. Arthur
and one for Mr.. Blaine, whose claims to ad-
admission the convention will have to decide.
In another district one Edmunds and one
Blaine delegate were elected. All the pro-
ceedings indicate that the state of feeling
between the supporters of the President and
his opponents and especially between the
administration Republicans and the Blaine
Republicans is very bitter. Two Blaine
delegates were chosen from the Lexington,
Kentucky, district yesterday. Two Missouri
Districts elected delegates whose preferences
are not known. The Newark, n. ]. District
elected Edmunds delegates, The Fifteenth
Illinois District elected two Logan delegates.
The Twenty-fourth Pennsylvania District
elected Blaine delegates. The Arkansas
delegates are all chosen but they are
not instructed and not claimed. Ar thur got
two delegates in Washington, two in Ala
Dama andsfour in Georgia. We believe this
completes the record for that day.

Maine for Blaine.


The time for holding conventions in this
State to elect delegates to the Chicago conven-
ton is drawing near. The sentiment of the
State Is very decidedly in favor of the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Blaine as the Republican candi-
date for President. But the attitude of Mr.
Blaine, In refusing to take any steps to pro-
mote his oRn candidacy, here or elsewhere,
has tendency to discourage efforts on the
part OF those who favor his nomination to
secure delegates who will attend the Chicago
convention and exert themselves for his nomi-
nation. We hope, however, Mr. Blaine's
earnest and numerous friends in Maine will
not permit his reluctance to do anything for
himself prevent them taking oil necessary
steps TO secure the strongest and best delega-
ZION they can to support him in tho National
convention. In many of the States Blaine
delegates have already been chosen and
pledged by the conventions to support him at
chicago. Everywhere his name is mentioned
Tor the Presidency with marked favor. The
great State of Pennsylvania lnanifests unpre-
cedented unanimity for him. In New York
there Is powerful tide in his favor, also in
ONO and Indiana. The conventions SO far
held Ia New England have been In favor Of
Mr. blalue. There is 20 doubt that the North
western and Pacific States will suppoft him,
nor that he I'll get fair share of the dele-
gates IN the South. Maine is not behind any

The, bill which passed the New York
House, making civil service examinations
compulsory in all cities of over 10000 in
habitants, has been amended almost to
death in the Senate. The police depart
rnenu and the FIRE departments have been
exempted from its operation, and it has been
further provided that any honorably dis
charged soldier or sailor may receive any of
the appointments which the bill affects
without undergoing an examination. 1t

partments to defeat The object of the meas
ure entirely by selecting veterans to fill the
subordinate positions. The dictates OF graf
itude may be safely followed to the extent
of giving an honorably discharged soldier or

to do the work required preference over the
civilian in appointment to office. Beyond
this they should not be Needed. To appoint

The Prohibitory Amendment.
hIaina Enr...nsA

(Maine Farmer)
Whatever opinion we may have entertained
In regard to the necessity of submitting the
amendment to the people, one thing is now
certain. Its defeat by the popular vote would
be disastrous, almost fatal, blow to the pro-
nlpltory law Many temperance men who or
iginally were opposed to the adoption of the
amendment, are in favor of it now, for the per.
fectly logical and manifest reason that its de-
feat would strengthen the men who are seek
ing to overthrow law which has been on the
statute book for over quarter of century
country towns, greatly diminished their num-
Der in the cities, and made rumselling q dsre-
putable business.
Congressman BOutelle's Industry.
(Aroostook Republican,
The amount OF work which he Congress-
man Boutelle) is doing in private and incon-
spicuous, as we'll as in public ways, is i'm
mense, and his active and energetic efforts
have already procured recognition and practi.
cal results which entitle him to the gratitude
Of his constituents. Through his efforts the
postal service IN Aroostook has been greatly
| extended and improved. Houlton is in a fair
way to obtain an important public building,
many pension cases are being expedited and
other matters of importance to our people are
receiving attention. Capt. Boutele is proving
himself an able, faithful and useful represen-
tative in Congress.
For Blaine First, Last and All the Time,
(Rockland Free Press)
Though no concert of action has taken place
| to procure the election of delegates favorable
to the nomination of Mr.. Blaine for President
while he is mentioned as a possible candidate
before the convention, the Republicans of
Maine can be counted upon to support him
| with their united and unwavering strength,
first, last and all the time.
Mere Democratic Candidates.
According to a correspondent Of the Argus,
it is not unlikely that the friends of DR.. Fran.
els G. Warren of Biddeford will endeayor to
have him receive the Democratic nomination
for member of Congress from the first district.
1t is also probable that the friends of Hon.
JAS A. Strout, ex-Mayor of Biddeford will
work hard to secure for him the nomination,
Up TO date besides the above the candidates
mentioned for this nomination are Charles W.
Goddard and Augustus f., Moulton, of Port
land; George F. Clifford. of Cornish: W. A.
Cromwell, of South Berwick, William Emery
and Ira T. Drew, of Alfred.

The Danger Line Passed

The Philadelphia Evening Telegraph,
which, as we have before explained, sup
ports BLAINE under protest but does not
propose to be whipped into misrepreseh'-
ing the formidable character OF the oppo-
sition TO him, Is also outspoken as to the
result at Saratoga. Further 1t would seem
that Il Is disguised with the efforts OF some
OF the BLAINE organs to discount that re-
suit. IL says: -,
nTbe friends OF Governor Cleveland
have occasion for great rejoicing. The
danger line was passed at Saratoga yester-
dov with skilfulness that shows the per-
lection Of political management. An cs-
tecmed Republican contemporary that mas
been m cold sweat for week past through
manifest fear OF Cieveland's triumph, IN q
desperate effort to extract some comfort
from the unexpected situation, most aD-
surdly saws. that he 'has nothing but the
votes, Pray what else does he need? Ana
what would it profit him If he had al every cry,
| thing else but lacked the votes! Inc Coh
yention approved his administration, ana
with the universal knowledge that he had a
clear majority OF the whole Delegation

voice. the unit rule, under which the en-
tire seveuty-two votes OF the State are
made practically solid for him. He has
the votes indeed, and the Tribune frankly
admits that as matters now stand his nomi-
nation at Chicago is almost beyond ques-
ton. Other States are rapidly falling into
line. the Democrats OF Maine. Michigan,
and Georgia showing remarkable unanlm-
itv and enthusiasm for the reform Gov.
ernor. IL is suggestively stated by one OF
Mfr. BIaine's personal organs that whole
ctaDter Of accident and intrigue may be
recorded before the Democratic ConVen-
ton meets. Just so. The State House
at ALBANY NAV be blown up by some
emissaries from Augusta. or Cleveland may
be kidnapped by some Of the wrathful ad-
hercnts OF Benjamin the Bad, from Bos-
ton; or a band of Logan warriors may
swocp down and slaughter the whole New
York delegation en- route, but it Is to be
hoped no such dreadful things will be
attempted. The Democrats may yet OUT
blunder their overburdened enemies, but
the days are rapidly passing, and for once
they show Il strange perversity. The
nomination Of Cleveland will mean the
most desperate political battle in the his
tory OF the country"
We repeat that we would not be surprised
to find the telegraph regretting before the
canvass is over that it ever pledged itself to
support the Chicago ticket. 1t has not only
a heavy but a very dis,asteful burden to
carry

This morning while Mr.. Samuel =. Cox,

city. was engaged with force OF hands ex-
cavating in the hillside at the corner OF
Church and Seventh streets, he took pick
himself and commenced digging under an
over. hanging bank in order to undermine
it, when it suddenly fell and the whole
mass caught him and completely buried
him. Very quickly n number OF willing
hands, including laborers and passers-by,
commenced to remove the dirt, and soon
extrlcated him. He was carried to the
house OF his brother-in-law, Mr.. j. A. Camp
bell, corner CT Main and Seventh streets,
and his injuries examined. His right leg
was crushed from the knee TO the ankle.
and he received internal injuries from
which he died few hours afterwards. Mr.
Cox was about sixty years ofage and man
OF sterling qualities.

The Boston Globe Democratic in taking
.the MEASURE OF the bolt" deprecates the
idea OF making the result OF the presiden-
tial election dependent upon il. Yet, as
far as Massachusetts Is concerned ii Is OF
opinion that after giving falr allowance
for backsliders from the bolt, that State
must be classed as doubtful. In reaching
this conclusion il says:
"0i course it is impossible to estimate
the sticking qualities OF the members Of
the movement. A percentage must Of
course be allowed for those who will feel
their party ties growing stronger as cleo
ton time approaches. But against this
must be sci the fact that the bolt Is con-
stantly growing. Besides this, even II the
bolt were confined almost entirely TO Bos-
ton and vicinity. il il were TO be OF the
magnitude 1t now promises IL might decide
the State. For Boston polls goodly pro-
portion Of the votes OF the State, and be-
fore this has come very near holding the
balance OF power"
