The city of Worcester celebrates today
and tomorrow with elaborate ceremony and
rejoicing the two hundredth anniversary
of its settlement. The streets and public
buildings have been handsomely decorated
for the occasion, there will be professions,
illuminatiors, fireworks, public meetings
and liberal hospitality. The historical
address will be delivered by Hon. George f.
Hoar which is an assurance that it will be
noble and eloquent. Worcester is one OF
the model cities Of America. Always re-
nowned for the intelligence, patriotism, pros
perity and public spirit of its population, it
has taken active and honorable part in every
progressive movement. Formerly the cen.
trail trading town OF large and fertile agri-
cultural region, 1t has within the last half
century developed into one of the most i'm
pertant centres of manufacturing Industry
In the country. 1t il not the seat of one
special industry but of great variety of in-
dustries, Its churches, schools, libraries,
benevolent institutions and noble philanthro
pies have contributed to its wide fame.
With population OF about IS, 600 and grow
ing fast its future is as promising az It's
past is honorable, and as the sons and
daughters of the old town gather to rejoice
over their good fortune in being now or
formerly citizens of such city, they may be
enthusiastic with abundant reason. Proba-
bly, there is not in the world city of its
size which affords in fuller measure to all
Its inhabitants all the advantages of the
best modern civilization.

1t must not be forgotten that the local
questions involved in the Ohio election to-
day operate almost wholly against the Re-
publicans. The Prohibitionists have tick
ct in the field, and circumstances dispose
them to support it, regardless of their views
on other questions. The liquor interests are
openly arrayed against the Republicans,
whose candidates for Supreme court Judge
and Secretary of State are particularly OBJ
noxious. To defeat these. many will vote the
Democratic ticket to-day who will doubtless
vote the Republican ticket ia November. The
only offset to these conditions that we know
of is the possibility that there are some Repub-
licans who will support the party candidates
in the State election, but will not vote for
Mr.. Blaine. There is no reason to suppose
that there is any considerable number of
these 10 Ohio. There are few in CinciD-
natl, but not enough elsewhere TO make any
demonstration.

He went to Mexico and secured the conces-

such high responsibilities as have devolved
upon him. But few years ago he was a

most Immediately he was sent to the Mass
achusetts legislature where he quickly be-
came influential and succeeded John d.
Long as Speaker of the House. About this
time his uncommon ability as lawyer and
business man led to his employment by Mr..

age and ranks with the most competent rail-

This is the great day in Ohio, when per-
haps the fate of the nation for Presidential
term will be decided. In case the majority
either way should be large it would practi-
calls determine the issue of the November
contest. If it should be small neither party
would acknowledge it as conclusive. The
Republicans appear to be more confident as
the decisive hour approaches; but the con-
d'tiens are so incalcuable that 1t Is impossi-
bic to feel any certain assurance. Should
the vote be very close the result may not be
definitely known tonight; but it is probable
that if there is strong drift either way we
shall be able to indicate tomorrow morning
which way the State has gone. We would
like to hope that before another four years
rolls away all these untimely elections
will be Line away with. They are dis
traction and an evil. Too much is staked
on the result of elections where local QUE s.
tions interfere with the greater issues; and
the temptation to corruption aud demorali-
cation is strong.

In South Carolina the Republicans and
Independents have fused upon an electoral
ticket and the situation gives the bourbon
press some alarm. The Charleston News
and Courier in recent article made this i'm
portant admission. "The Republicans have
large majority in the State" Mark that.
The leading Democratic paper in the State
contesses that the Republicans have large
majority. Does it therefore expect the cleo
toral vote of South Carolina to be given to
Blaine and Logan? o, no, nothing of the
sort. That paper and other Democratic pa
pers say the Democrats must rouse them
selves and take such me assures as have been
taken before to secure Democratic success.
For example this is the way the Columbia
Register talks
We should carry the war into Africa. The great
bulk of the colorsd people of the State want no
troubles with the whites. The colored people in
stnctvely feel and recognize the power and proves
OF the southern whites. 1t is no THU to them
They have seen it with their own eyes and not with
thoee of another; they have felt it in their own
bones and not in other peoples bones.
Everybody knows what that means. 1t
means intimidation, violence, murder if nee
essary. 1t does not mean free ballot and
fair count. 1t means the illegal fraudulent
triumph of the minority. But for wicked
violence and fraud, by which the rights of
the majority are trampled under foot and
Republican government made a farce,
South Carolina would not be represented in
Congress by two Democratic Senators and
Democratic Representatives from every dis
trict but one and her electoral vote could
not be counted for Cleveland and Hendricks.
On fair vote the State is Republican by
large majority as its chief Democratic pa
per confesses.

The following extract from private let

The following extract from private let
ter written by very intelligent Eugishman
actively interested in the great political
movements in progress there shows what re-
suit Is expected from the present agitation:
dare say the agitation about the House of Lords
has net escaped your notice. 1 have not taken
much part In it, though l may do so during the
next two or three months. OF course as a convinc-
cd democratic am against the Lords; but think
at the same time that not very much will come i'm
mediately out of the wave of democratic sentiment
undoubtedly sweeping over the country. A modas
cicendi will be effected by those on both sides who
wish to retain the House of Lords, yet for some
time longer. majority of the members of the
present administration really take this view, and
the only question is whether the strong aDtiariso
cratic sentiment of the people will not force their
hand

change are great and everywhere apparent
to the most casual observer who has any
knowledge of the state prior to the year 1881.
We do not believe the people OF maine, Tor
any consideration, would again sanction the
policy of license to drinking houses and
tipping shops
Mr.. Blaine adds to this:
l did not reside in the state prior 10 tne
enactment of the first prohibitory law, and
therefore cannot make comparative state

as my knowledge extends, derived from
twenty years observation of the cause OF tenn

From this tits quite evident that If Mr..
Blaine means all that is stated above, there
is poor hope for the German who wishes to
drink his glass of lager in comfort in case
he had the authority. 1t is not necessary to
state now at length that the statements in
the letter are not in accordance with facts,
as liquor is sold and drunk here as freely as
in any New England state. The important
fact is, that when Mr.. Blaine was driven to
the wall by the incorrigible Neal Dow, he ex-
pressed his opposition to license

SHOT BY A .PICKPoCKET.
Dan Winkle,, Patrol Dricer, Probably
Fatally Wounded.

Dan Wlnkle,, Patrol Dricer, Probably
Fatally Wounded.
Wednesday evening Detective Caswell and
Officer James Lawrence attempted to arrest
a pickpocket on Cedar avenue car Three
''pallsn came to the assistance of the thief
and lively fight ensued, during which Law
renee shot one of the men through the thigh
of the left leg The others succeeded in es-
Gaping, but the wounded man was taken to
the lookup, where he gave the name OF Sam
uel Maynard and his home as San Francisco.
A surgeon was called and an examination
showed that the injury was not a dangerous
one.
Maynard was not locked up, but was given
a cot in the ia ilor's oiiice. About 3 O'Clock
in the morning the news came of a disturb
ance on Washington avenue and the TAILOR,
Matt Bross, hwentsto render assistance, leav-
ing the lookup in charge of Dave Winkler,
the driver of the patrol wagon Scarcely had
he gone when Maynard made break for lib
erty, attired only in his underclothes. He
ran down the alley to Second streets and had
got but a short distance further when Wink
Ter overhauled him.
At this junction a man stepped out saying,
you've got him again, have you.' and
fired revolver point blank at Winkler, the
ball striking him just below the nose, passing
downwards to the back OF the neck where it
lodged. Winkler fell to the ground and the
two men disappeared. The injured man
was picked up and taken to the lookup
where surgical help was summoned. He was
found to be dangerously, and probably
MORALLY wounded.
The ball had fortunately missed the jugular
vein and wind pipe, but there is great dan
ger of modification. He was removed as soon
as possible to his residence, corner of Nine
teenth avenue and Two-and-a-haf streets,
where at this writing he lies in a very critical
state, suffering intense agony.
There are two theories concerning the
crime. A pile Of dry goods boxes across the
alley was set on fire about midnight, it is
supposed to attract the police away from the
lookup. A man, a stranger, also visited the
lookup, and assisted in washing Maynard's
wound, about 1 O'Clock Winkler says the
man who shot him had on special police
mans badge. Officer Hill, who was the first
on the spot, found aFspecial policeman there
who said there had been shooting and one
man killed. When asked why
he did not try to arrest the
parties the special said he had no gun. The
special was taken before Winkler, who said
he resembled the man who die the shooting.
The question therefore is, whether the spec
ial was one of the confederates of Maynard,
or whether he shot because of excitement or
accidentally. The police are mum as to what
their opinions are, only saying they do not
think that the special police on hat beat
would have fired Intentionally.

BLAINE AND PROHIBITION.
The Position assumed by Him Early In the
Year 1882

Year 1852.
Bangor, Me-, July II, 1S94.-It has been
triumphantly declared by certain newspapers
in the west, who are opposed to prohibition
and because of the German vote fear any
prohibition candidate for the presidency, that
Mr. Blaine Is not prohibitionist. Now, Mr.
Blaine is politician first, and although he
has managed to make the believers of the
Maine law think he is all right on the ques-
ton, he has really said very little in regard to
it in his many speeches in this state. If any
one will turn, however, to the March num-
Der Of the North American Resieu for 1882. he
viii there find an article on prohibitory Iegis-
Iation by the temperance fanatic, Neal Dow
Mr. Dow in that article declares that in 1872
testimonies Of leading men in Maine were
obtained in favor of prohibition. Among
others he quotes from letter which, it is
suggested, was signed by Hannibal HamliD.
Lot VI. Morrill, and William P. Frye. After
ward Mr.. Blaine adds few words Of concur
renee. The letter declares in favor Of pro-
hibitiOn as fellows:
At the time OF the enactment Of The law in
1851, the traffic existed openly and every
where in Maine, as it now does in those
states where it is not prohibited. The i'm

THE RECORD SMASHED.
The Minnesota Crew Crosses the Line
Second in the Fastest Race
Ever ROWed.

ST. CLAIR, Mich, July 24.-The second
race of the Northwestern Amateur Rowing
association was a greater success than the
first, all records in straight away racing
having been beaten by the Wahwahtahus
The first event of the day was the senior
double SOULS between Harry Ball and W. B.
Wells, of Chatham, Ontario. George B. Jen-
nison and Fl. f. Fowler, Farragut, Chicago,
and C. Wright and w. O'Connor, Torontos,
Toronto Ontario The Chathams had a bad
boat and stopped at the boathouse. The
Farraguts pulled game race from start to
finish, and after the turn were a length in
the lead, but the Torontos were too fast, and
in the last quarter passed their opponents
and won by a length, in 13:50%.
For the junior fours the entries were the
Port Hurons, Port Huron, Irish, Excelsior
and Centennials, Detroit and Goguacs,
Battle Creek, Mich. The Port Hurons were
the favorites and rowed in beautiful shape
like veterans, pulling long, steady stroke.
The Port Hurons took the water first and
kept the lead throughout, leading all at the
turn by five lengths and going down in
celsiors dropped out of the race before the
turn. The Centennials rowed hard and
came in poor second, ten lengths behind.
The time of the winners was IL ~.
In the third event junior single SOULS, the
starters were John Parker, Centennial, De-
troit, Matthew Ryan, Bay Citys, Bay City,
w. E. Rispin, Chatham. In three hundred
yards Rispin fouled Parker, Ryan passing
over to Parker's water, and made him lose
his stake. This was declared foul. Ryan
went to the front while Parker rowed leisure
ly. Ryan crossed the line twenty lengths in
front, but was disqualified. Parker was
given the race in 15.091a.
The open .to-all tours came last, and was
the most exciting of the entire re-
gatta The race was straightaway mile
and half. The strong current showed its
influence in the result, for the Wahwahtahsus
beat all records by nearly a minute. The
Excelsiors were inside, and had no current
This club led for four strokes, but dropped
back, the Wahwahtahsus going to the front
with forty-six strokes to the minute, the Min
nesotas second. The Wahwahtahsus rowed
a fast, quick stroke, and increased the lead
surely, and half way down were
three lengths in front The Excelsiors
rowed in fine form, but were hopelessly be-
hind. The Wahwaptahsus began squirting,
running their stroke to SO per minute Their
oars went flashing through the water, and
this pace was kept up to the finish. The
Wahwahtahsus passed the line in 6:57S,
beating the record by nearly minute. The
Minnesotas came in second, five lengths be-
hind. The Excelsiors did not finish.
