sibility your official notice of the action of the
National Convention already brought to my
knowledge through the public press. | appre-
ciate more profoundly than can express the
honor which is implied in nomination for the
Presidency by the Republican party of the Ma
tion-speaking through the authoritative voice
of duly accredited de egates. To be selected as
candidate by such an assemblage from the
list of eminent statesmen whose names were
presented, fills me with embarrassment. | can
only express my gratitude for so signal au hon
or and my earnest desire to prove worthy of
the great trust reposed in me.
In accepting the nomination, as | now do, |
am impressed. might also say oppressed, with
sense of the labor and responsibility which
attach to my position. The burden is tighten
ed, however, by the hosts of earnest men who
support my candidacy, many of whom add-as
does your honorable commttee-the cheer of
personal friendship to the pledge of political
fealiy.
A more formal acceptance will naturally be
expected and will in due season be communl-
Gated. 1t may, however, not be inappropriate
at this time to say that have already made
careful study of the principles announced by
the National Convention and that in the whole
and in detail they have my heartiest sympathy
and meet my unqualified approval.
Apart from your official errand, gentleman, |
am extremely happy to welcome you all to my
ed the duties of the public service and have en-
joyed the most cordial friendship. trust your
journey from all parts of the great Republic
has been agreeable, and that during your stay
in Maine you will feel that you are not among
strangers but with friends. Invoking the bless
ings of God upon the great cause which we
jointly represent, let us turn to the future with
out fear and with manly hearts.
Mr.. Blame concluding, Chairman Henderson
took step forward and said ito one and all
of you l introduce the next President of the
United States" This was greeted with cheers,
Mr.. Blaine responding with bow of the head.
Hardly had the applause subsidized when Gen.
Henderson moved to the side of Mrs. Blaine
who was standing near, eXclaiming at the
same time "With equal pleasure take the lib
crty to introduce the coming ladyaof the White
House" Three cheers for Mrs. Blaine were
given with much power. The company after
chatting together on the lawn for Il few mo-
ments dispersed, the committee returning to
the Augusta House where d princely lunch was
served by Mr.. Miliken, the popular proprietor
of the hotel Following the repast all hurried

said that the enthusiasm of the grand scene
before him presaged victory in November. The
nomination of Blaine and Logan had been made
in response to the wishes of the Republican
voters of the United States, and the election
day would show it to have been the wisest,
strongest and best nomination that could have
been made. ''For more than % years" he
said, 81 have personally known your standard
bearer, James G. Blaine. A nobler, purer,
more upright man; a more devoted lover of
his felowmen; an ADLER, broader and more

SENATOR MALONE,

was loudly called for, and responded He said
it would be the high ambition of the Republi-
can party of Virginia to swell the electoral ma
jority by which the standard bearers were as
sured of election. The convention at Chicago
with the fidelity of the magnetic needle, had
voiced the will of the people. In the splendid
record for distinguished service, broad expert
ence in public affairs, recognized ability and
unwavering devotion to every American inter-
est found in that of James G. Blaine and John
A. Logan lcheersl the guarantee for the ener
getlc maintenance of Republican principles
which filled the measure of scrupulous and eX-
acting confidence, demanded jealous support
Malone was repeatedly cheered, and sat down,
after predicting the certain success of the tick
et amid storm of applause.
SENATOR FRYE
said he had been told that the Republican party
would have to fight a defensive battle Defen-
sive of what, and of whom? In 1876, the DEM
ocrats had an overwhelming majority in the
House of Representatives. The presidential
election was coming on then, as it is coming on
now, and the Democrats determined to bring
infamy on the Republican party and put 1t on
the defensive, and then resolved themselves in
to great investigation committee. They de-
lberately determined to tear the laurels off the
brow of the great Republican leader, and to
make him hang his head low before the Ameri-
can people. One day Blaine went into the
House of Representatives and said he proposed
to take into his confidence 50,OOO,O0 of his
American fellow-citizens, and then went on,
without oratOry, without ornamentation. and
told his story, and when he completed the tale,
he charged upon the Democrats of the House
and routed them, horse, foot and dragons
Soon afterward the Republican convention was
held at Cincinnati, and, although news came
there right on the eve of the nomination that
Blaine was dead or dying, or that, if he surviv-
ed, his grand intellect was dead forever, he
came within score of votes of clearing out the
field and coming of conqueror. If he had
Logan. Logan was the bravest man in the
country. AS Blaine on the day of his magnifi-
cent performance in the House, couched his
lance and made onset on the Democrats
which they would remember forever, SO would
he now again couch his lance, and be and Lo-
gan, fighting shoulder to shoulder would make

CRAZY QUILTS.

The particular species of fancy work which has lately possessed the minds and fingers of younger women is that of ''crazy quilts" Somebody has decreed that silk quilts must be made of odd pieces, not cut in regular blocks as our grandmothers made patchwork, but but pasted on cambric lining, helter- skelter, the edges turned in and worked over in brier-stich or cut-stitch in fl loss. The colors of the patches aSd sewing silk are chosen hap-hazard; the "crazier" the effect of the work the better. Somebody made this decree, but the women went even further in carrying it out. Not content with crazily stitching the odd pieces of silk together, they now embroider every separate patch in floss, as they decorate it with painting, or they attach to it a flower cut from brocade, like an applique fig ure, and instead of using only brier- stitch and cut-stitch for the joining they employ every variety of fancy stitch, in cluding all the conceits known as South Kensingtcn and Point Russo. And these same ladies defend their practice by say ing that crazy work affords ample room for economy, as it enables one to use every scrap of silk or velvet, however small, and it exercises the taste and in genuity, as it gives the widest field for the display of originality. So they have all taken the craze over crazy work. When they do not make quilts of it they make tidies, lambrequins, table covers and borders for other quilts.
 But, sooner or later, this fashion must die out. The test of beauty is often utility, and any expert needlewoman must know that the floss raised above the surface of the quilt must wear out before the silk patches will. What then will become of the quilt, once the stitches have given way? Then the old-time patterns, already become fash ionable again, will take on new lease of favor. These were made by carefully cutting out the silk, basting them over pieces of stiff paper and overcoming them finely on the wrong side. Among the old patterns those now growing in popularity are the tea box, consisting of three diamonds, forming cube in per spective; the log cabin, or State House steps, displaying graduated strips sur rounding central square, so as to form as it were, piles of logs or flights of steps, and the patty-pan, or group of seven hexagons, the whole effect of . quilt being that of a pavement of hex agonal tiles.

MIRA CLARK GAINES.
some Facts In Relation to a Remarkable
 Woman

Myra Clarke Gaines. the widow of the late Gen. Gaines, has for the past fifty years been trying, through the courts, to prove her right to property which actual ly belongs to her, and about which the Supreme Court of the United States has decided in her favor, but now comes some technical flaw about bonds. The little woman has seen 76 years, but has the appearance of being only 50, with her.fai complexion, bright black eyes, that never look through glasses to de- cipher the finest print or to use her pen, which she is doing, and the result will be her autobiography, which cannot help but be an interesting work. With all her trouble and opposition, she does not show any vindictiveness or bitterness, is amiable, generous, and true friend to the poor. While relating to us the ex- periences of her trials, she would vibrate about the room, gestculating in an amusing manner. She ayows that she can outtalk, outlaugh, outwalk any wo- man under the sun, and boasts of hay ing monopolized the conversation when Mime. LeVeit was of the company, much to the chagrin of that renowned foreign CT.
 When the question of the illegitimacy of Mrs. Games birth was introduced in court, she pleaded her own case in the presence of more than thousand people which plea brought every member of the jury to her side. She says "God never repented having made woman, but he saw that man was decided failure and was sorry that he had created him. " She is always wOman's champion, be- lieving in her rights, which she says must come, and the rights of franchise on which subject she has talked in public to thousands of attentive listeners. of" said she, Il had been man l should have adopted the medical profession, be- cause for it I inherit both taste and tai ent." She restored her daughter to perfect health after the physicians had pronounced her beyond cure.
 Mrs. Gaines father, Daniel Clarke was native of New Orleans, and in that city he is buried In her early maidenhood she became the wife of William Wallace Whitney, of New York but in few years was widowed. She says: "Gen. Gaines was greater than Clay, Calhoun or Webster, and his last words to me were: Your cause is just and you must succeed.'" Although her father was born in Louisiana and her husband in Virginia, she has never known any North or South, but has idolized her whole country. Her first benevolent work will be to build a widows home, the next an orphan asy- lum, if the greedy lawyers do not "gobble up'' all she secures. The charges in the case thus far for fees, stenographers, writs and counsel fees have already been over $300,00 The printed record will cost $l2,0 ,000. It is hoped that the moneyed woman will soon secure her rights, as she has been living on borrowed capital since 1870 part of the time supporting thirteen per. sons.-[ Mobile Correspondence Chicago lnterOcean.
