DEPART IN PEACE.

Lafayette Journal.
We say to the New York Times more in sor-
row than anger: ''Erring brother, depart in
peace" 1t is going over to the Democratic
party, where its advocacy of the theories of the
Golden club will be appreciated, and where it
will find sympathy, and aid, and comfort; but
we very much fear the odor of sanctity with
which it has surrounded itself will not impart
fragrance to the ''putrid "reminiscences" 1t
should remembe the old adage that zone can
not pitch and not be defled." While this English
organ in New York proposes to pack up its bag

riotic Irish Americans, realizing that the
Republican party is their best friend, are coming
to the support of the Republican ticket by
thousands. The Republican party had rather

organ of the Golden club.

Blaine and Logan an energetic support. He is
a singular man in some respects. but he is no
half way man. The men who have been most
bitterly hostile to him in the past are the men

A merchant in this city has been exhibiting in
his store windows some well-preserved cartoons
of 1860. The greater number, perhaps, are at
tempts, more or less successful, at ridiculing the
principles and leaders of the Republican party;
and several were produced after the nomination
of the rail-splitter. The people who stopped in
passing, to look at the pictures, could not but see
that these relics tell against the Democratic
party. Much that was good wit once can hardly
be appreciated now, the events of the twenty-four
years have been so different from what the
artists could have foreseen. If the clever
men who were caricaturing Abraham Lincoln
could have looked ahead five years their fingers
would have been paralyzed, and the pencils
would have fallen from their clutch. One cut
portrayed the Republican leaders and a~gitators
entering a mad house; and at that day the en-
thusiastic party raised up to break the chains of
bondmen and reunite the fragments of the State,

faith and courage confer, and which is often
better than political s~agacity, a host of heretics

The Funny Speech with Which Douglas Was
Welcomed to Bangor.

new 10TH sun.
Apropos of Governor Robes ''congratula-
tons" which he extended to the Maine Repub-
lican convention for nominating him, | am re-
minded of the fact that Bangor has been the
scene of other oratorical plumbers. The funniest
happened in the fall of 1860. Stephen A.. Doug
las was a Democratic candidate for President.
He made IA tour of New England, showing him
self to the people wherever possible, making
several speeches, and being received with
almost universal enthusiasm. The Democratic
local committee here made arrangements for
o grand out-of-doors meeting. Judge John
A. Peters was then a Democrat, and he
was also the originator of many Of the best
practical jokes ever perpetrated. | suspect
that it was at his suggestion that a com
mittee was appointed to induce the Republican
mayor to preside at the Douglas meeting. He
fell into the trap, and never thought of the
anomalous position in which he was placed until
the chairman introduced the mayor to the Eel
low Democrats assembled. The mayor never
could make much of a speech. He was a bust
ness man, q staid, respectable citizen, and a
good mayor, but did not shine as an orator. His
duty, however, was to present and welcome the
renowned senator from Illinois, and he did it in
very nearly this fashion, hesitating and STAN
mering:
'Honored Strive cannot show you the mag
nifcent prairies of your-of your own native
State; we cannot show you the magnificent arch
itecture of your-of the nations capital; we can
not show you the magnificent-magnifcent rail

business of the nations metropolis; we cannot
show you the grand and magnificent mountains
and rivers-and lakes; but we, the Republic
ans of Bangor, welcome you without distinction

Lafayette Ind.) Journal.
There is one man in Lafayette who has known
James &. Blaine from boyhood. Joseph Y. Dor
sey, the assistant superintendent of the water
works, was born and raised on an adjoining farm
in West Brownsville, Washington county. Penn
sylvania, on the Monongahcla river, just sixty
miles by water above Pittsburg. Blaine learned
his letters from young Dorsey's mother, and the
two boys continued school fellows until, at the age
of fourteen, Dorsey left Pennsylvania and came
west. He says Blaineis mother was a most bril-
liant woman, and that young Jim was the bright
tuition. 1t was seemingly unnecessary for him
to study. In mathematics he was considered a
phenomenon. One teacher to whom the boys
went to school, and who was always in a chronic
state of semi-intoXication, let Blaine run the
school pretty much las he pleased. When
the boys wouli go to the teacher for instruction
he would exclaim petulantly, "Oh, don't bother
me; go to Blame and, although Jim was the
youngest duck in the puddle, he managedto pull
the boys through the knotty problems with little
difficulty. mo brighter boy ever went to school;
just such a boy as he is a man" added Mr.. Dor
sey. When Blaine was here in 1880 Mr.. Dorsey
saw him for the first time since, as boys, they
babe each other goodbye in the little Pennsyl-
vania village. 1t was at the courthouse. Mr..
Blaine had just finished speaking. 1t was quite
dark, and, at first, he did not recognize his old
school-fellow, but, on hearing the name of Dor
sey," grasped his boyhood friend by the hand,

The Independents and the South.

New York Special.
The reported Vaccinations of the Independ-
ents with reference to a separate convention and
ticket was the subject of discussion among the
returning delegates. An Edmunds man said:
There may be a movement of the kind, but
few, if any, of the Edmunds men who sat in that
convention will give it any support. The time
for a bolt was on the announcement of Blaine's
nomination. All of us, including George Will
lam Curtis, Lodge and Roosevelt, returned to
the evening session and assisted in making the
rest of the ticket. In doing so, we necessarily
aSsented to the nomination of Blaine"
Phelps and Horn, who have arrived, had a talk
press the belief that he will support Blaine and
Logan. To Mr.. Phelps he said that, apart from
the defeat Of his own candidate, he regarded the
work of the convention with satisfaction, that II
had acted with fairness and Elaboration, and
that the treatment of himself and his friends
had been as courteous as they could desire. Mr..
Curtis left the impression that his sense of duty
as a patriotic citizen will c~oustrain him to sup
port the candidate of the Republican party
against any man that the Democratic party may
nominate. 1t is understood that Mr.. Curtis will
not countenance the nomination of a third ticket
by the Independent Republicans.
H. w. Grady, managing editor of the Atlanta
(Ga. Constitution, who knows the South thor
oughly, says: 1T is a nomination to put the
Democrats on their mettle, even in our State. 1t
is q common remark among Democrats that if
we must have another Republican President, by
all means let it be Blaine"

The Feeling in New England.

Washington Special.
A small circle of Republicans gathered about
Representatives Long and Ranney, of Massa-
chusetts, when they appeared on the House floor
this morning, and Immediately there began a
sharp cross-questioning regarding the feeling in
New England. Repr sentative Miller, of Penn
sylvania, said to them, 81 live in a strong Repub-
lican district. Ninety nine of every 100 Repub-
licans favored Blaine's nomination, and the
whole hundred will work enthusiastically for his
election. These men are upright and intelligent
citizens and are sincere in their belief in Blaine.
Now, take the mass of Republicans in Massa-
chusetts who, 1 dare say, are no honester than
the Republicans of Pennsylvania, and what do
they think about the Republican ticket Just
nominated"
''They are satisfied" said Mr.. Ranney, and
the answer received a nod Of assent from Gov
ernor Long.
"Then what will the much-talked-of opposi-
ton amount tor

past in a few weeks, said Mr.. Long.

Mr.. Long further assured his questioners that
Massachusetts would certainly give a Republic
an majority in November, no matter who may
be nominated by the Democrats.

whereupon that gentleman writes to that journal
as follows:

interview is misleading. My first choice was
Sherman, but I regard Blaine as clearly the first

An Enthusiastic Ratification Meeting.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
MUNcIE, Ind, June 10.-This city has been
wild with enthusiasm tonight over the nomina-
ton of Blaine and Logan. A ratification meet
ing was held at the courthouse, which was
attended by hundreds of people, VIII listened to
the able and eloquent addresses by many dis
tinguished visitors, while outside was a much
larger number cheering and shouting
for our standard bearers. 1t has been
the most spontaneous outburst of en-
thusiasm ever known in the county.
Anvils were fred, bands playing, bon-ires burn
ing, and rockets bursting in the air, so the pro-
ceedings have taken more the shape of jol-
LITIGATION over the result of the Chicago conven-
ton than a ratification of its nominees. En-
thusiasm for the ticket does not need to be
manufactured. People here recognize the fact
that never; before did the delegates to a national
convention so completely voice the popular
sentiment as this year, and they are taking hold
of the campaign more cheerfully and hopefully
than ever.
