methods VIGOROUSLY adopted at cleo
tons wherever the Democrats have
control of the ballot-boxes, how is
that for brazen effrontery? The en-
tire platform is made up of such
false and hypocritical pretenses, as
every intelligent person reading it
will readily discover.
LIKE everything evil in this world,
the Democratic party manifests a
good deal of vitality. After being
beaten in six successive Presidential
elections, it comes up smiling at the
seventh round as fresh as daisy and
apparently as full of determination
and courage as ever. AS the poet
says:
Hope pricks them on,
Nor quits them when they die.
GEORGE WILLIAM CURTIS, the bolt
ing Republican editor of Jumpers
Weekly used the following language
at the Chicago convention:
I'VE are confronted with the Democratic
party, very hungry, and, you may well be
lieve, very thirsty; party without single
definite principle, party without any distinct
national policy which Il dares to present to the
country a party which fell from powers as Il
conspiracy against human rights, and now at
tempts to sneak back to power as Il conspiracy
for plumber and spells.
THE last of the political national
conventions to be held this year will
be that of the PIohibitionists, at
Pittsburg, on the 23d of this month.
1t is announced, by authority, that,
in the event of that party carrying
the Presidential election, Miss
Frances T.. Willard, of Evanston,
H., will have the choice Of any
position she may prefer in the Presi-
dents Cabinet. Miss Willard is a
very fine lady and "smart as a steel
trap" but she will probably never
be Cabinet Secretary.
GENERAL BUTLER declares that
the new Democratic platform does
not mean anything; its wordy tariff
plank does not mean protection and
it does not mean tariff reform, and
nobody can make out what it does
mean. Butler is right--the plat
form is as gushy as a soda-fountain,
but is destitute of both truth and
sense.
Even the Democratic Chicago
Times is out of all patience with this
ridiculous and absurd platform, de-
claring that what few ideas it CON
tains are smothered by a mass of
unmeaning words; that it accuses
the Republican party of imposing
burdens upon American shipping,
knowing that all existing burdens
were imposed before that party came
into power" that "the boosted eff
lection of the Democrats for the
laboring men is a mean, false pre-
tense;" and that, as regards the tariff
question, although dit says more
about that subject than about any
other of the many subject treated of,
it proposes nothing definite"

BECAUSE Blaine and Logan were
nominated on Friday, the Demo
cratic press tried to work up the old
superstitious absurdity about Friday
being an unlucky day, But how
now about Cleveland and Hen
bricks, who We're also nominated ON
Friday? If mis- Friday business
should prove fatal to both tickets,
old Ben Butler, who was nominated
by the Ant-Mouopolists on n We'd
neSday, will he the lucky man.
TIN DIScoyEREs.-Up to this
time the United States has been
forced to depend for its supply OF

THE Democrats declare in their
platform that "the Government
should not always be controlled by
one party" The people will not ad-
nit the truth of this declaration, at
least so long as the only other party
aside from the one now controlling
the Government is the party that
tried to destroy it,

Detroit POST. Mr.. Smith, of Utah,
wanted the Democratic platform to
contain a condemnation Of polyg-
amy. But a careful search fails to
reveal any mention Of that subject
in the platform. The Democratic
party, which was the last refuge of
slavery, will also be the last refuge
of the other twin relic of barbarism.

HOTALLATION


Last evening Rev. Arthur r. Skeele was
installed pastor of the Congregationaliss
church, this city, with appropriate and i'm
pressive ceremonies. Beautiful foral decor
ations adorned the pulpit. A bank of geran-
iums with flaming red blossoms, crowned by
clusters Of Easter lilies. covered the pulpit
front. A pretty green vine clambered down
from a vase of pure white callas resting on
the pulpit. A showy basket of variegated
flowers occupied position at the left of the
pulpit. There was very full attendance,
the body Of the house being we'll filled Be-
sides the other visiting ministers, there were
several members of the Kennebec conference
present.
The exercises opened at 7-30 o'clock with
an organ voluntary. Rev. Edward Chase of
Hallowell read a minute of the proceedings
of the Ecclesiastical Council which had met
in the afternoon for the purpose of examin.
ing the new pastor. 1t stated that Mr.. Skeele
had passed an exceedingly satisfactory exam
ination. Rev. W. F. Obear of Winthrop Of
fered the Introductory prayer. The anthem
TIE Deum, was rendered by the choir with
much effect. Rev. w. C. Curtis OF Richmond,
read very appropriate selections from the
scriptures. Hymn 1854 was sung.
Prof. VIM. J. Tucker, d. d., of Andover
Theological Seminary delivered the installa-
ton sermon. 1t was a powerful discourse,
and in beauty. finish and depth of meaning

ever been heard in Augusta. The speakers
delivery was clear and terse and carried
much weight. The text was founded on John
XIII, 80: ''Jesus knowing that the Father
had given all things into His hands. and that
He was come from God, and went to God, He
riseth from His supper and laid aside
His garments, and took towel and girded
Himself. After that He poareth water into
basin and began to wash his disciples feet,
and to wipe them with towel wherewith He
was gIrded."

Talk about your Western heroines. Let us
heart. She resided IN a country village and
kept house. A fierce, ferocious Thomas cat
had been the bane of the neighborhood for
weeks. In the summer his favorite menu
was chicken. In cold weather he prowled
around seeking what he could devour. BOYS
and men with firearms, had repeatedly at
tempted to end the career of this marauding
feline. hut always without avail. Our heroine
however, finally bethought herself of a
scheme to down the monster. The cat was
in the habit of stealing stealthily into the
porch and purloining food. She prepared
some dainty morsels and set them within
his reach She continued to appease
his appetite. and day by day the dish contain
ing the food was moved nearer the kitchen
door. A tub of water was prepared one day
not long since and set in the kitchen A
quantity of meat was also placed in the room
for pussy. He stole in with a we'll whetted
appetite, and commenced to partake of his
daily repast The lady stood in one corner
of the room bearing cloth of large dimen-
sions. Suddenly she peunced upon poor
Thomas, swsthed him in the cloth, and
scooped him into the tub of water. He .trug-
gled to get free. She held him down with
unruffied demeanor until his relaxing efforts
indicated death, and then pulled the dead
feline from his watery grave and laid him out
on the doorstep, victim of woman's Wit and
courage

The task of clearing the railroad track at
Farmngdale, which was blocked by the col

forenoon. The injured locomotives were
taken to the machine shops at Watervile, for
repairs. The engines halted at the Augusta
station for short time on their passage up,
and were eagerly inspected by large crowd
of men and boys. The injured cars will
probably go into the Augusta shops for re-
pairs. This will make two sets of Maine
