The Thunderer's Opinion.

LONDON, June THE Times says;
"Blaine's nomination viii be received
with satisfaction. Not only has he been
the most popuIsr candidate, but the most
conspicuous and respected politician in
the ranks of the Republican party,
which has done itself honor by the nom
ination of so well-known and distinguish
ed q man. If the Democrats could make
up their minds to definite and reasona-
free trade policy they certainly would Sc
cure more sympathy on this side of the
Atlantic than hitherto. In the meantime
we congratulate the Republic on the
choice OF candidate so eminently suited
as Mr.. Blaine to represent and uphold
the dignity of the United States"

JOHN \. LOG AN.
A Happy Woman's Rejoicing in Her
Husbands Victory.

WASHINGTON, d. c., June AT ten
O'Clock last evening General Logan sat
in his library, conyersing with friends
upon the events of the days session
OF the Convention at Chicago. In
an adjoining front room was
Mrs. Logan conversing with party
numbering eight or ten ladies
and two or three gentlemen. A card was
brought into the General by a colored
waiter, followed instantly by two or
three perspiring gentlemen, who seized
General Logan's hand and shook it heart
lily, offering him congratulations upon
something which they were not
given an opportunity to fully ex-
plain. There was a mo-
mentary sound of more excited converse
ton in the front room, as if something
of an agreeable nature had become known
to the companions of Mrs. Logan, and
that lady entered the library the bearer
of torn envelope and its en-
closure in her hand, "Come, Papa,
here is something" she said, as
she grasped his hand to lead him toward

voices was heard from the street. 4 lady
clad in pure white passed Mrs, L. IN
and seized both Of the Generals hands
beginning an impressive and evil
IDENTITY very welcome greeting.
More gentlemen entered. Loud
shouts came from the streets. Some
one proposed three cheers for something
and the result drowned for a moment all
voices in the room. "Nely happy
thanks. Very gratifying. Nominated by
acclamation, did you say: Great compli
ment. Very much obliged. Yes, yes,
Oh! | remember you; certainly" The
sound of teams approaching from
Il distance lent its help to
swell the noise. The Generals face at
the first salutation wore look of some
thing resembling surprise, but it gave
place to bushes and broad smiles as he
was seized by the ladies and gentlemen
and conducted to the front window
in response to Il demand from the
street below. "Speech, speech"
shouted the crowd OF thousand white
and colored men in about equal proper
tions, and again the General, now priS-
oner in the hands of his captors, took up
his march. The way was cleared with diff
Guilty through the han down stairs, out to
the front door, where, standing upon
the steps of the mansion, the General
was cheered very frequently by his WIS.,
itors. Silence was secured, and General
Logan, in voice inaudible to more than
half the crowd, said;
"FRIENDs-I thank you for your kind
greeting tonight. am not prepared to
make a speech, Again | thank you.
Goodnight"
General and Mrs. Logan were then
conducted back to the parlor of
the mansion and, the doors being
thrown open, crowds pressed
in and, forming in line, filed past, shak-
ING the extended hand of both the Gen.
eral and his wife. In half an hour they
were gone and General Logan
had an opportunity to read the
paper which Mrs. Logan had
brought him when the quiet of their
home was first disturbed. 1t proved
to be the Associated Press bulletin an.
nouncing his nomination by acclamation
for the Vice-Presidency.

How They Feel Over Their Own De.

WASHINGTON, d. c., June 6.-Presi-
dent Arthur received the decisive news
from Chicago with great composure.
Secretaries Lincoln and Chandler, POST
master-Gencral Gresham and Senator
Don Cameron, who have been guests at
the White House for several days, were
with him when the foreshadowing bulle-
tins arrived, and without waiting for
the complete fulillment, the President
invited the company to proceed with him
to luncheon. Shortly afterward Presi-
dent Arthur responded to the card of an
agent of the Associated Press, who found
him, not only cheerful, but apparently In
the best of'spirits. He remarked that the
news from the Convention to-day had not
taken him by surprise, disappointmentsi in
politics being of such common occur
renee, and so readily discounted. He also
pleasantly referred to the general law of
compensation, and said he highly priced
numerous compensations that might be
mentioned in the present case. AS to his
position In the canvass the President said
it was outlined in The telegram which he
had sent to Mr.. Blaine Immediately upon
the receipt of the announcement of the
Conventions choice.

A special train Of fifteen cars from

reached the city in the evening, and a
few minutes lates a special from Bangor

and upwards OF one thousand people.
The visitors marched TO the residence OF

as follows:

"Three times three for Logan" and a
voice "You can't beat that team" lam
sure, gentlemen, can add nothing by a
speech to that fact, and you would hardly
expect me to do more on this occasion
than to express to you the very deep OBJ
legation feel under for the extraordinary
compliment you have paid me in coming
from your homes in distant parts OF the
state on the announcement Of the action

AUGUSTA, NE, June Mr.. Blaine
took the news of his nomination with
reasonable equanimity.. He spent the
afternoon on the lawn in front Of his res.
idence on State street, reclining in a
hammock, apparently unConCerned at the
fact that the eyes Of the whole nation
were upon him. His wife and several
members Of his family were around him.
Maggie, one Of Mr.. Blaine's daughters,
was stationed at telephone in an upper
room, receiving the latest news. As the
dispatches came in Mr., Blaine opened
and read them. There was some joking
about apple trees among the party
DIDN'T GET EXCITED.
When the news Of Mr. Blalne's noml.
nation was received there was no particn-
lar change in the manner Of the party.
Mr. Blaine did not seem to be affected
in any way, but on the contrary, exhibit
ed the utmost cquanimity. lie said that
he was glad that he was not in Washing
ton, and was seconded by Mrs Blaine
''It we were in Washington" she said,
"we should be oyerruu by great
crowds
Soon after the nomination OryiIle D.
Baker and other prominent men arrived
and congratulated Mr.. Blaine, who re-
spondcd with the utmost serenity. When
the news of the nomination reached Au.
gusta perfect wave of enthusiasm rolled
over the city. The streets were throngcd
with excited men who, almost frenzcd
with delight, shouted until they were
hoarse. They threw up their hats
wrestled with each other and cut up all
manner OF capers. A liag was run up on
Water street inscribed: "Our Next Pres.
ident-James q. Blaine" The banner
was received with loud shouts and
cheers. Bells were rung and cannon
fred.

DEMONSTRATIONS.

Ten minutes after the nomination a
large body of school children came down
OAK street and added their voices to the
din. The shouts and hurrahs could be
heard all over the city until far into the
night.
Intense interest has been manifested
by the people all day in the proceedings
of the Convention. Early in the day all
business was practically suspended and
Mr. Blaine's chances became the chief
topic Of conversation.
At Mr.. Blaine's mansion the scene
throughout the afternoon was fully as in
tcrcstlng. On account of the warmth of
the day Mr.. Blaine and the members of
his family had abandoned the house for
the shaded lawn, and the Western Union
messenger on his frequent visits found
the central figure of the Convention sitting
in hammock suspended beneath flowing
branches of fruit trees and surround
ed by members of his family and few
neighbors and friends, who, at the recep-
tion of each dispatch, exhibited far more
anxiety over the result than Mr.. Blaine
himself. 4 considerable portion Of the
time Mr.. Blaine played with his grand
child, and was in the best possible humor,
freely communicating to all around him
the contents of the dispatches. Several
congratulatory dispatches were received
before the result of the Convention was
announced.

PLANS.

1t has been announced that Mr.. Blaine
and his family would spend the heated
period at Bar llarbOr, but it is now
expected that the larger portion of
the summer and autumn will be spent
at his residence in this city. He has
got to finish the second volume of his
history, and this of itself will probably
take some months He has the work
we'll in hand, and the events to be
treated are !resher in his mind than
those included in the first volume. If
Augusta is to become the Mentor of
Maine the prosecution of literary work
will not be an easy task, even to a man of

Poor Nose Rceder probably never will
get out of trouble, even if he should live
to be a thousand years old. 1t has not
been very long since he got out of the pen
itentiary, after u four years service for
stealing a dolman and other articles from
Cowhick & Whitcomb, of this city, but
still "Mose' seems to have an uncontrol-
able desire to steal anything he can get
his hands on. Only a few days ago Nose
was brought up, and given three months
in the County jail, for stealing a hat from
the millinery store of Mrs. Walker, and at
that time he had on a coat which evident
ly did not belong to him. A man by the
name of Buchanan came to the Court
house, and identified the coat as being his,
and a new charge was preferred against
the colored brother on account ofthis coat.
Nose in the meantime didn't know any
thing about it, and when let out yesterday
for the purpose of being brought down to
Judge Fishers office, he was informed
that the judge wanted to see him in order

Nose at once, and lighting his little pipe,
which he always carries, he marched down
town withO ficerS malley with such a grand
and stately tread that, were it not for the
difference in color, it would have been
somewhat difficult to tell which was Ben
and which was Nose. A change came
over the spirit of his dreams, however,
when he reached Judge Fishers Office,
for he was told there that another charge
had been filed against him. If there was
ever an astonishcd darkey in this world it
was Nose. He got up and made a wild
speech. The long and short of the whole
matter was that Nose was sentenced to
pay the value of the stolen goods and also
the costs of the prosecution. Not having
recovered entirely from the effects of the
financial crisis, Nose was again recon-
