Dinner to Senator German.

The banquet. given to Senator German at
Wizards Hotel, Washington, last night by
the Columbia Democratic Club in recogni-
ton of his valuable services during the late
Presidential campaign. was q grand success.
The table presented a beautiful appearance.
In the centre were long plates Of nirrared
glass, fringed with smiiax and choice flow
ers. Upon this glass were set the cut pieces,
aud their reflection made the centre Of the
table appear like silvered lake. Great
floral pieces, four feet high stood at ciosr
intervals, and pyramids of fruit siternatci
with the fosu stands. The set pieces were
narvels u The cuisine AIT, aud were almost
as tall as the floral pieces AT The head OF
the table WAS tae body OF young lawn
decorated with flags, and a small table
directly in front Of Senator German bore
Kennebec salmon weighing forty pounds,
and all the game birds represented III the
menu. Each menu card rested liSn nu In
verted V before each plate, and the differ
| ent colors among the sparkling glasses made
| brilliant picture. The room was also pro-
iusely and appropriately decorated. Behind
Senator German hung q shield bearing
Maryland's coat-of. arms, With the words
Son of Maryland" Flags Of oil nations,
statuary, palms, ferns and other tropical
plants in gilded baskets heightened tie
brilliant appearance of the banqueting hall.
An oil painting of President-clect Cicve-
land, frstooned with flags, was also display
ed, while over the head Of the table hung Il
large silk streamer, bearing III gilt letters,

The RULES of the Senate allow a member
Of that body to speak as long as it may
please him to do 80. Awaiting himself of this
privilege, Mr.. Riddleberger has delayed the
.nnrmation of Mr.. McCulloch as Secretary
of the Treasury for two weeks, for the rea.
son that the Senators would vote to adjourn
daily at an early hour rather than be COM
PEELED to listen to his repudiaton twaddle.
But all things have to come to an end. and
Mr.. Riddleberger's wind did yesterday,
when, as was anticipated. Mr.. McCulloch' g
nomination was confirmed by the vote of
every single Senator present except that OF
she one referred to. Mr.. Riddleberger, by a
cheap method, achieved additional notoriety,
but of the sort that inspires no envy in most
meus minds.

The following poetical effnsion is
from Democratic boy in this city, who
has not yet numbered twelve years. He
takes to Democracy natural and in a
legitimate way. Sound politically, his
poetry, like good wine, will no doubt
improve with time.
His lines will serve to create good
natured smile, for though his verses
may halt there will be no halt ia his
political faith:
o! Jimmie Blaine got on drunk
Whenever he saw fit
He saw his rival Cleveland
And at him he did hit
But the Mulligan letters were thrown in his
And they hit him hard you bet,
Tt was the coolest kind of day for Jim
When he and Cleveland met.
For Cieveland's now elected,
The White House is his home,
And Jimmie is so very mad,
That his mouth is full of foam.
The Republicans are out of office,
And they not get in aSain,
For the Democratic party
Is made of determined men.

BIa1ne's Augusta Speech.

Blaine's foolish outcry against the
South at Augusta in his recent speech,
was intended to produce the impression
that the Democratic party was sort of
Solid South animated by the feelings
and passions of the late Confederate
States. A glance at the figures of the
late election, if indeed any argument
was needed, proves him to be a mere
sectional bigot and demagogue. Inthe
first place, out of total vote OF 10000
900, Cleveland received q plurality of
upwards of 10000, and in the second
place the Democratic party of the
Northern States cast one million and
half more votes than the Democratic
party cast in the Southern States. Such
facts as these conclusively demonstrate
the shallowness and falsity of the ut
terances of Mr.. Blaine and show them
to be the angry rawlings Of disappointed
personal ambition. The New York
Commercial Advertiser, which next to
the Tribune is the leading Republican
paper of the United States and sup
porter of Mr.. Blaine in the late cam
paign, administers rebuke to him in
the following dignifed and appropriate
terms:
We do not intend, at this time, to dis
cuss the details or figures marshaled by
Mr.. Blaine. There is much to say about
them, but the discussion is foreign to
our present purpose. That purpose is
to point out with emphasis and with
regret that Mr.. Blaine's spirit is not the
spirit of Gen. Grant at AppOmatOx that
if the evils he complains of exist, they
have existed during score Of years of
Republican rule; that patriotic Demo-
Gratis, and especially patriotic Southern
Democrats, have assured US with the
utmost solemnity that however hard it
might be to cope with some existing
evils in the South in previous circum-
stances, they would and should melt
like mist before the rising sun after
Democratic success in presidential
election. For this reason, while Waiv-
ing fee minor questions OF grace and
del scy involved in a defeated candi-
date ) taking such an attitude, at such
s,lomcnt, those citizens will agree with
is, wa take it, when we express our
hearty sorrow that Mr.. Blaine spoke the
words no did speak yesterday at Au
gusta.-NeW York Commercial Adver-
tiser, Rep.

The political sea has Gained down
and all excitement subsidized. 1t was a
hard thing for the Republicans to real
ize that they must 60, but they have had
to make up their minds to the ineyita-
BILE. The Democrats are calmly but
aupremely happy. On the fourth of
March next, they will come to the front,
and for four years from that time, pro-
pose to do the governing business Of
this country. We have no doubt that
there is brains and patriotism enough
among the leaders of the party to so
run the machine as to score another
popular verdict of approval iu 1883.
One thing is certain, that is, that James
G. Blsine and statesmen of bis character,
are eternally consigned to the "demni

Complimentary to II. w. seuI..

AUGUSTA, Dec. 10th, 1884.
Mr.. X. w. SOule:
take great pleasure in informing you,
that at meeting of the trustees of the Maine
Insane Hospital held this day, the following
resolution was presented and unanimously
adopted:
Whereas Mr.. r. w. Soule, the efficient
steward and treasurer of the Maine Insane
Hospital for the last two and half years,
pre-emptorily resigns his Office, therefore, re-
solved; that we as trustees, wish to express
our entire satisfaction with the eminently
successful and impartial manner in which he
has discharged the varied and arduous duties
of his office. Also our sincere regret that he
finds himself impelied, by his own private
affairs, to step which deprives US of his
valuable services. We would tender to him
as he leaves, the expression of our warmest
friendship, and the hope that in whatever
business he engages, he may be as success
ful in winning the esteem and confidence Of
all, as he has while connected with US. We
authorize our secretary TO convey to M
