Such government would destroy national

NAINE DlNPATCHES.
HEAVY ROBBERY.
Mr.. }. IL. Clark of Portland Loses
s1OOO-Successful Rand of Old
Orchard PickPOckets.
PORTLAND, Aug. u.

PORTLAND, Aug. u.
For several weeks gang of pickpockets
has been operating boldly at Old Orchard as
well as at other places in Maine. They have
been more than usually successful and have
secured large amount of money as well as
iewelry and other valuables. Last night Mr.
J. b. Clark, the livery stable keeper at No.
39 Tying street in this city, was robbed in a
daring manner at Old Orchard. IL appears
that he had been at the beach during the day
ard got on board the 7.25 Z. NJ. train. He
had in his wallet 500 in cash and upwards
Of $1,000 in notes and securities. He had
this wallet in his inside coat pocket, The
car was nearly full and seats were scarce.
Mr.. Clark noticed two well dressed men oc-
cnpyng half of double seat and made
motlon to take a seat with them. Upon this
one Of them spoke roughly and told him the
seat was engaged. Mr.. Clark then stepped
across the aisle and attempted to sit down
beside another man dressed much like the
first two. This man rose up sharply and
pushed Mr.. Clark with much force from the
seat and told him that he could not stav
there, as that seat was engaged too. Immed-
lately after this, just as the train started, the
three men rose, filed out of the car and
Jumped off. Mr.. Clark thought their actions
were strange and a suspicion of their true
character dawned on him. He hastily felt
for his wallet but of course he found that it
was gone. The train was by this time going
too fast for him to jump off, so there was
nothing to do but to sit down and think over
how it had all happened. The last man in
hustling him out of the seat had without
doubt frozen to" the pocket book. Mr.
Clark did not notify the Portlind police last
night. He waited quietly until this morning
and went to Old Orchard. There he noti-
fed tine officers and measures were at once
taken TO spot the pickpockets if they still
remain there.

POLITICAL.
CONVENTION IN KANSAS.
Question Regarding the Wisdom of the
Prohibition ParIy's Movements.


lOfEhA. aug
The convention OF resubmission repub-
licans assembled al o'clock last evening and
the temporary organization was made per-
manent. The committee on resolutions sub
mitted long platform. II asserts in sub
stance that the majority Of the republican
party of Kansas have determined 10 coalesee
with and adopt the dogmas OF the prohibition
party. and that in pursuing this course il has
departed from the true faith Of republican
ism and saws; we have repeatedly pro-
tested against this suicidal course, and in the
spirit Of conciliation and concord have
appealed TO them in the light Of past expert
ence 10 consult again the will Of the people
on the vexatious question of prohibition.
That request was contemptuously refused.
and our warnings have been answered by
sneers and approbrious epithets. Now in the
name of the national republican party we
arragn the prohibition majority faction of
this State as untrue TO republican principles
and an enemy 10 republican success. We
arraign it as an organization that is plotting
and cOnspiring ALL over the country 10 defeat
the republican ticket. In Kansas they remain
united with the republican party solely be.
cause that party can be used to carry their
pet hobby. Such being the case, and dectln-
ing to accept their doctrines, we prefer them
as declared enemies rather than treacherous
friends. We condemn the cowardice and
hypocracy of those republican leaders who
have permitted this foreign and false issue 10
be thrown upor the party in this State. On
their heads shall rest the grave responsibility.
We endorse the platform of the national
republican party and pledge our unqualified
support to its nOminees-James q. Blaine
and John A. Logan.
