1872 and 1884.

Republicans have every reason to be satisfied
with the present political outlook. In no presi-
dental campaign since President Grants first
term have the prospects been brighter at this
stage of the contest than now. The Democrats
are demorazed and disheartened They took for
their Presidential candidate man who was not
known beyond the State in which he lives; an
accidental Governor, whose brief public record
is such as to array against him the workingmen
and the soldier element. and with private rec
ord which has given him within the past few
weeks an unenviable notoriety. While Mr..
Blaine was the peoples choice, Clevelands
nomination was the work of the politicians.
He was an unknown quantity to the great mass
of delegates who made up the convention, and
to the voters they represented. The nomination
of Bayard, or Thurman, or Randall or Morri-
SON. would have been hailed with enthusiasm.
Ceveland's nomination fell fiat. Why, then,
was he nominated: 1t was to please the Inde-
pendent Republicans, so-called; the men who
sneer at the Western people is cowboys, lat
laborng people everywhere As ritl-rtl. and who
turn up their noses at brave John Logan, be-
cause they say he is illiteratc.
The Democratic party will never learn wis
dom from experience This year, az in former
years, drops the substance to grasp the shadow.
Where it secures one independent vote it will
lose dozen of its former supporters. 1t re-
peated at Chicago in 1884 the mistake it made in
Baltimore in 1877, and with less reason. Then
the diSatiected Republicans called themselves
Liberal Republicans. Their revolt promised to
be formidable one. They carried the State of
Missouri, with the influence of the Admini>tra-
tion against them; and then began to lay plans
to carry the next Presidential election. Horace
Greeley was the recognized head of this move
ment and he was aided by cX-Goycrnor Curtin
and Col. \. II. Mcclure in Pennsylvania;
Chas. Francis Adams in Massachusetts; Judge
| TrumbuIl in Illinois Reuben +. Fenton in New
York; +. Gratl Brown and Carl Schurz in
Missouri; and in fact, by leading Republicans
| and leading newspaper, in nearly all the States.
These Liberal Republican, hclda National Con-
ytnton in Cincinnati on May /, ls-2. and nomi-
mated Greeley and Brown. The Democratic
Convention, held at Baltimore, June 9th, en-
dor,cd the Cincinnati platform and candidates.
The result was the Generalization of the Dem
ocratfc party. the death Of the Liberal Republi-
can party, and great victory at tue polls for
the Republicans, with Grant aud Wilson rs
their standard bearers. History repeats itself.
| The Independent Republicans, >o-calird. are

the Liberal Republican, of Isl; they have not

| Dental candidate, and the Democrats have r;ti-
| fed their choice. Cleveland has neither the

Each eager playfellow to Baby brings
Some separate gift; a fitting bird that sings
With her; a waving branch of berries bright;
A heap of rusting leaves; each trfe cheers
This JOYOUS little life but just begun.
No weary hour to hel brings signs or tears;
And when the shadows warn the lettering sun
with blossoms in her hands, untouched by fears
She softly fails asleep, and day is done.

Judge Sprague and Will Mudgett Went up to
Ship Pond last week, making "a stay of three
days. Before coming back they went up to Il
house between Boar Stone and Barren Mts.
The old lady remarked to Mudgett, There has
been quite change since you were up before.
assented the old man, ''there has been quite IA
change-Susan is married and mother she died"
"Oh yes' chimed in Isaac, "there has been
quite change-Susan is married and mother
she died" Eyes continued the old man medi-
tatively, ''there has been quite change; Susan
is married and mother she died. Mother win
tered well, but come Spring, she up and died.
Each one having testified to the change that had
taken place deep silence fell upon them all.

done. Our ship of State has moved
gloriously forward and we are now called
upon to have new commander.
Who will YOU takeg Voices, Blaine,
Blaine.) All those in this great crowd
who will choose Mr.. Blaine for command
er will please raise their hands. The
whole audience, apparently, lifted their
hands, amid cheers and applause. Now,
continued the Governor, will all those in
favor Of anybody else raise their hands
one man raised his hand, amid an uproar
and shouts of laughter. At Governor
Robes call three rousing cheers were
given for the next President, James G..
Blaine.
HON. JAMES &. BLAINE.
Mr.. Blaine saidt Fellow Citzens-The
place and time where the Republican
party was first organized will, presume,
remain like the birthplace of Homer, a
subject of unending dispute. Seven cities
claimed the latter and seven States may
claim the former. 1t could hardly be
doubted that the great thought, common
to the minds of the millions, would find
expression at the same time and at places
widely separated, but think it is hstor-
ically true that the patriouic men who
met in this town of Strong, in 1854, were
among the pioneers Of the great move
ment which resulted in the organization
of the Republican party. The men Of
that day builded better than they knew
and initiated a movement whose grandeur
and whose destiny could not then be
measured. Great parties never come by
a whereas and resolve. Parties cannot be
improviscd or eXtempOrized. They grow.
They come from the instinct in the mass
es Of the people and are not the product
of political leaders,
Thus it was with the Federal party !;
with the old Republican party with the
Democratic party; with the Whig party
and the great party whose existence we
celebrate to-day. am here to exchange
congratulations with Old neighbors and
old friends. Congratulations on all that
has been accomplished already, congrat-
uiations on the spirit and courage Of the
party to continue its great work III the
future.
MI Blainc's speech was frequently in
terrupted with applause and closed amid
a grand outburst.
The last speaker was Congressman
Burrows, Of Michigan, who arragned the
Democratic party and reviewed the tariff
question.

the following note on the table:
Jo-when you get this shall be good many
miles from here. / hope you will find somebody
who will use you better than did. Your money
is on the mantel piece. Think kindly of me as
you can. Good bye, Su.

himself East, after two years of welded bliss

THE INTERESTS OF MAINE PEOPLE.

The people Of Maine, with whatever party
they may have acted heretofore. appreciate
that their interests now are in peculiar sense
dependent upon the issues of this campaign.
If this State is to grow and prosper its increase
must come from the wise protection and foster
ing of manufacturing industries, must come by
a continuation of the policy which the Repub
since it came to power and Is pledged to pursue
in the future, the policy to which the Demo-
cratic party is hostile and which it purposes to
end, and will end, if it is given a chance.

He said he believed the sentiment of the
Republican party was in Patrick Henry's

Daniel Webster's Bunker Hill speech
echoed the sentiment of the Republican
party. For all its civilization for all its
progress this country is indebted to the
Republican party. What has the Demo-

We most always have some Indians
here, says a Washington letter writer.
They want to see the President once in q
while, and the President and Secretary
of the Interior want to see them. The
Indians always have good time. They
are brought here in good style, carefully
shown all the attractions of the town,
and lionized by the people in q certain
sort of society. They don't usually get
the thing they come for; but they
always get something, and sometimes it
seems better than the thing asked for.
Some New Mexico Indians, recently at
the capital, carried back with them ideas
somewhat more extravagant than usual.
They began the story with the remark
that President Arthur was the wealthiest
man in the world; that in his great treas
ury gold and silver were as plentiful as
the sand on the plains of New Mexico,
and that in this great storehouse the
President has 200 wives, who have moth.

Before the day was over three more of

deposited their freight rs expressions of
gratitude to one who had befriended

expressed it, "helped them to get start

From day to day We gathered up the
remnant of what was scattered over the

about two hundred sheep, twenty came
