ADDRESSING THE VETERANS.
Mr.. Blaine at old Orchard Beach
His War "Reminiscences.


Mr.. Blaine arrived at Old Orchard Beach yes.
terday. 1t was estimated that 25,o0O per-
cons, including 5000 old soldiers, were there
to attend the encampment OF the Grand Army
Of the Republic. Most OF the visitors attended
MIR. Blaine's public reception In the parlors
of tho Old Orchard House during tho fore
noon. Mr.. Blaine stood in the centre OF the
largo parlor, with Colonel Fred N. Dow aud
George ID. Bisbeo on his right and Governor
Rohie, Department Commander Williams aud
members OF tho committee on his left. Tho
crowd passed them In single file, and shook
hands with Mr.. Blaine and Governor Roble.
When Mr.. Blaine assembled the steps OF tho
stand TO address the veterans he was greeted
with shouts cheers and cries OF "Dlaine our
next President" He said; "dentlemen OF
the Grand Army OF Maine, / thank you for
your kindly and cordial greeting. The occa-
sion has been ono Of great pleasure TO me In
the renewal OF old acquaintance aud the re-
calling OF old scenes In civil life that ante.

mind Is carried back TO the winter OF 1861, 10
the excitement, tho clation, and at tho same
timo the seriousness ana the .sadness OF that

gigantic struggle.

Governor Washburn Immediately summoned
an extra session OF the Legislature. had
tho honor at the timo to be the Speaker of tho
House OF Representatives. Patriotism was
fervid, confidence was strong, and the younger
members of the Logielature-I was but 81
years old myself-determn TO do something
very bold, something that we venturod 10
hopo would be rather appalling TO the Con.
federate Government. Instead OF responding
with one regiment which tho President had
asked for, we authorized the Governor to ofIor
ten regiments to the National Government,
and, though entirely unused TO State debt
we empowered tho Governor to borrow ST.
100000 on the faith OF tho State for immediate
uso In the equipment OF troops. We all felt
that we wore Dragging when We used these big
figures. We felt sure that our ten regiments
would never bo needed, for such q contingent
from Maine implied larger force than Ma.

field Of Waterloo"

PRINCE BISMARCK is getting impatient
with England for not fastening up the in
demnity to German residents who suffered
from the Alexandria bombardment. He
also wants carly action by England to
punish the outrsges committed by English
fishermen upon German sloopsi in the North
Sea. Germany is also dissatisfied with the
English policy in the Egyptian conference.
The German press is hostile to England.
The North German Gazette, the organ of tho
Government, says that England ia trying
to stip up trouble between France and Cor
many.
This looks little like trouble ahead.
There is not much chance, however, of
England and Germany coming together
with a clash of arms. France, ever since
tho Franco-Germ2n war, has been sleeping
upon her arms awaiting good opportunity
for revenge upon her old foe. She would
very quickly join England should hostil-
ties break out between that country aui
Germany. For similar, though not by any
means as strong, reasons, there is not much
danger of France warning with England
This for the reason that Germany is fully
armed and perhaps more than ready TO re-
venge the recent French insults to her flag
and citizens. The war cloud In Enropo Is
not likely to assume serious dimensions

A CANVASS was made OF tho Cortland
Wagon Company's employees the other day
and out of about 200 votes Cleveland got 10
votes, and ii is reported that several con-
versions to Blaine and Logan have taken
place since. This company is located in
Cortland County, N. Y, and its president,
L. J. Fitzgerald, was delegate to tho con-
vention which nominated Cleveland, and
Hugh Duffy, chairman of the Executive
Committee of the Democratic Central Com

Your letter or yesterday Ia received, ia

have advocated the laying down OF certain
principles on which II has seemed 10 me i'm

neither advocated nor opposed any particular
candidate except as the principles themselves
should do this. But II the charges to which
you refer are true, do not sec how one with
any self-respect can vote for the man against
whom they are made, nor how party with
any pretentiOns 10 decency can Keep such u
man In nomination.. 10 afflrm that tho Of.
fenses are veninl because they have not been

THE Democrats arc trying to prejudice
the laboring people against Mr.. Blaine, be-
cause tho New York Tribune refuses to en-
ploy union printers. Mr.. Blaine has about
as much to do with the running of the Til
Juuo as the man in the moon. But, why don't
our Democratic exchanges urge ex-Sherif
Cleveland to try to induce tho Buffalo
Courier, his homo organ, to put on union
printers and discharge tho "rats"
employed in that office ? One
proposition is about as reasonable
as the other The Republican Ma
tional Committee has tried to induce Mr..
Reid to change his policy in this respect,
but hitherto have not succeeded in per-
suading Mr.. Reid to do as they wish in this
matter.

ANs i Gun.
When wo consider tho appearance OF Mr..
Carl schurz as the advocate OF q Democratic
candidate for President, we are amazed at the
immeneity OF his impudence.
Only oight years ago Mr.. Schurz engaged In
promoting tho lnstallmont Of Rutherford ID.
Hayes as President whom Samuel j. Tilden
had been elected. Deliberately concurring In
this unparalleled crime against free institu.
tions, Mr.. Schurz, rs soon as the deed was
done, hastened to appropriate his part OF the
booty. Ho became Cabinet Secretary in the
Administration OF tho Fraudulent President,
and he held on 10 the ONCE, the power, and
the salary to the latest moment that tho law
allowed.
And now here comes this man, blackened all
over with the infany OF that fraud, and pratee
to the people about honesty In politics and
about the duty OF defeating James @. Blaine
who repudiated Schurz's crime as far os ho
was able without breaking from his party
and of electing Mr.. Cleveland, the Democratic
candidate.

human impudonce there is nothing TO be COM.

LOGAN, Ohio, Sept. 2.-Everything is quiet
III the valley, and there is no authentic re
port of damage to person property Sunday
night. There was a rumor that fifteen men
had been killed at Buchtel, but it
lacks confirmation and probably there
is nothing in the report. Telegraph commu-
nication is in good shape now, and it
is learned that continued firing occurred
early i'll the evening between the strikers
and guards at Sand Run and Longstreth.
1t is not learned yet that any person was in
iured
Governor Hoadly arrived here on a spe
cial train early in the morning, and is dis
posed to learn all he can about the situation
before ordering more troops on the
ground He was furnished a special
train by the railroad and is accom-
panied by Private Secretary Dan Nc
Couville; Walter Crafts, of the Hooking
coal company; Frank Merrick, attorney for
the latter company, and correspondents. The
governor held a consultation with the leading
citizens of Logan, among them being Judge
Friesner, Col. Weldy, the sheriff, and Others
He says he has formed no definite conclusion
as vet from the talks he has had but will
make a circuit of the mines and try and see
the leaders on both sides He will be accom-
panied by the sheriff, Judge Friesner, and
others
Frank Woody is in Jail here, having been
arrested for participating in the riot Satur-
day night and for shooting William OHara,
one Of the guards, He has made a full con
fession. in which he gave the names of five
or SIX of the leaders in the attack of Satur.
day night Sheriff Mccarthy will furnish
the names of all implicated as soon as ar
rests can be made The presence of the
militia about the jail seems TO have had the
effect of making Woody weaken. Wher
captured his hat was found shot full of holes
William O'Hara, the guard killed, was al
oldTeteran of the war. When attacked by
the strikers he was heard to cry: For Gods
sake, men, have mercy" but instantly fell
pierced with forty shot. Until recently
thirty-fve of Pimkertons men guarded Snak'
hollow, but they were transferred and re
placed by twenty-five civilians, sworn in anc

NEW STRATTsyILLE, Ohio, Sept. 2.-Judge

with Governor Hoadly, thinks the worst oil
the trouble in the valley over. The governor
SAYS Friesner is charged with great deal OF
responsibility and considers his opinion
@ ii iderable force The governor left
l.. gan at H30 FOR trlp to
,il principal mining towns, ac-
C aapanied by Sheriff Mccarthy and sev
efal Others. Before leaving he telegraphed
a. all points he wanted to meet the promin-
Q miners and bear their side of the story
A all stations large number of miners were
"a to meet the train and at this
Lace about $50 had congregated. The
greatest interest prevailed, and the
wernor began the holding of private
con.u tatons with representative miners
Tue president of this district and others who
were questioned deny stoutly that there is
anv necessity for militia at this point, and
claim to know nothing about the burning OF
tn hopper at mine No Z, q short distance
ltn here They have u theory that the
guards became dissatisfied with the wages
they were getting, and set fire to the hopper
themselves. The governor tells them that he
doesn't want to be forced to order the
military ON the ground, and is exacting
promises that the miners will do all
in their power to aid the civil author
ities. If he should conclude, however,
ef.er visiting all the points, that
tn military is required, he says he will have
~ give orders to that effect. A team was
brought out at this place to convey the gov
ernor and few others to the mine where the
hopper was burned, and just as ii
started three cheers were proposed for
the governor. The response was very
weak and without enthusiasm Some
of the miners are very glum and say this
trip is only political scheme Several OF
the miners interviewed say there is no poll
tics in the situation, and that the topic il
scarcely mentioned in the valley. The gov
ernoY expects to visit other points
