MEETING OF STATE AND DISTRICT CONVENTIONS.
The Democrats had a lively time of it in Bangor
on Monday and Tuesday last. Faction fights were
the "rder Of the day and evening. These We're
| inaugurHted Monday evening, before the State
/ Committee, by contest between rival Lewiston
delegations. Each side accused the other OF doing
dirty work. and finally the committee decided that
both delegations We're regular, and that they be
Admitted with half vote each. This OF course
was unsatisfactory to both parties. The next ROW
was over the possession Of Norcmbegu Han al 10

Age and the Transcript mean that no pensions
should be paid to those who Were disabled in
the Union cause. or to the widows and surviy-

tai there are some Democratic Congrcssnnen
who are also open for the cen>ure of the Trans

not diminish Gen. Logan's popularity either
among the soldiers, for whom he has the >ynl-

lie Hypocrlt1cal Humbugs of the Hub.

The call for the meeting of sore-heads in Bos-
ton reads believing that only men of high
moral character should be elected to high of
flee, and that the nominations lust made at Chi
cage ought not to be supported in any contin-
gency that now seems likely to arise" So then,
the characters of Blaine and Logan are not
high enough to suit these gentlemen. Let us
see. Mr.. Blaine has been in public life more
than quarter of a century. He has served in
the Maine Legislature. and was Speaker of the
House; was elected to Congress for seven sue
cessye terms, and was Speaker of the House of
Representatives for six years; elected to
the United States Senate from Maine and re-
signed his seat to enter President Garfeld's
Cabinet as Secretary of State. In 1876 and
1880 he was the choice of majority of his par
ty as Presidential candidate and he was nom
mated this year at Chicago despite the opposi-
ton of BOSSES machines and dudes His abil-
lty is generally conceded and be is recognized
by the London Times as the foremost states
man of this country. But his character is not
high enough to satisfy these fastidious Bos-
tonians. For nearly thirty years Mr.. Blaine
terance open to scrutiny and criticism. Mud
has been thrown at him but it has left no stain
on his garments or his character, and as Il citi-
zen. husband and father he is entitled to adj
mration and respect. Those who know him
best esteem him most, and no public man of
our day has 4 stronger hold upon the people.
But his character is not high enough to suit
haze r
them would, bear close scrutiny into their lives
and affairs.
John A. Logan He went into the United
States army as private during the Mexican
war and has fought bis way up to a Alaior-Gen
eral>hip. He was good enough food for powder,
though fortunately he survived with the Union
| he helped to save. But these Beacon street
snobS and State street Shylocks probably think
Il man who has cryed as a common soldier not
worthy of their support. The people of Hi
nos thought differently TO the laurels Gen
Logan Won ON the battle fields on which the
perpeluity of the Union was decided they add
ed civic honors. They returned him to the
House Of Representatives where he had served
with distinction before the Rebellion and he il
now in his second term in the Senate He is
the firm friend of the soldier, was one of the
originators of the Grand Army Of the Republic
and is every inch an American and patriot.
But these sO-callcd rcformers in massachusetts
can not support Logan nor Blaine. Th" peo-
pli will do 50, however, and at the polls i'll NOV
cmber next they will rebukc in unm>takable
terms those who condemn the peoples ticket.

Personal Gossip.

Among the active Blaine workers at Chicago
was Mr.. NJ. p. Handy, managing editor of the
Philadelphia Press, and one of the brightest
young journalists in the country. Mr.. Handy
Is the son of a clergyman, a native of Virginia,
aud we believe he carried musket in the Con-
federate ranks. After the war he held an edi-
toria position on the Richmond, Va, Despatch,
and acted as correspondent in that city for the
New York Tribune and other papers. At the
time of the Nirginius excitement the Tribune
sent Mr.. Handy to Cuban waters, and he was
the only newspaper man out of a dozen or
more sent on the same errand who witnessed
the surrender of the Nirginius to a United
States man-of-war. The New York Herald had
quite a fleet of its own, but Handy outma-
n~uvered them all, and his well written des-
patch established his reputation in the news
paper world. The Tribune at once offered him
place on its staff but he severed his con-
nection with that paper year or two later to
enter the service of the Philadelphia Times,
subsequently leaving that paper to take the
managing editorshp of the Press. He has
long been an admirer of Mr.. Blaine, who has
more personal friends among journalists than
any other public man.
Another journalistic friend and admirer of Mr.
Blaine was in Augusta last wcek-Mr. H. J.
Ramsdell, who holds the office of Register of
Wills for the District of Columbia Mr.. Rams
dell is native of PENNSYLVANIA and began his
newspaper career at the case in a country
ofhce lie saw service in the Union army and
al the close of the war entered upOn the duties
of Washington correspondents For many
years he was connected with the New York
Iribune's Washington bureau and did good
deal of brilliant work for that and other papers
He accompanied the Commissioners to san
Domingo as the Tribunes correspondent, and
soon after his return was, with his associate
Mr.. White, placed under arrest and held in
durance vile by the L. 5. Senate for refusing to
tell where be obtained a copy Of the Alabama
treaty, then pending in the Senate, and which
WAS published in the Tribune. The Tribune
| doubled the salaries of its correspondents while
| they We're locked up, and the Senate was finally
ohlged to release them. Mr. Ramsdell was
appointed Register of Wills by President Gar
field, but he has not relinqushed journalism.
| lie is the Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia Press and editor and proprietor
Of The Republic. very clever weekly. Rumor
has it that Mr.. Ramsdel is to be Mr..
Blaine's hiographer and his visit to Au-
gu>lH was probably something more than
It congratuatory one. The work could not
