To Young Men.

The pharisaical Independent organs are
making moving appeals to young republi-
cans to commit political hari.kari by bolt
ing the regular ticket. They represent
the independents as standing upon very
elevated plain politically. Like the phari-
see of old. who went up into the temple
10 pray. they say to themselves; IL thank
thee that am not as other men are, ex-
tortioners, unjust. adulterers. or even as
this publican" Ifyoung men will look
over the pages of the New Testament.
they will find therein line upon line de-
scribing the character of the pharisee and
warning others not to follow his example
or teaching. II they will take the spirit
OF these descriptions and compare it with
that Of the anti Blaine Independents they
will find no difference between them.
The republican candidates for ofiice
were nominased in great convention. the
members Of which were elected BY the
republicans of every State and Territory
In their State and district conventions.
There is no charge that the nominations
Of Blaine and Logan were not fairly made.
or that they do not represent the senti-
ments Of the great body Of the republican
party. No objection was made In the na-
tional convention 70 the nominations aiter
they were declared or TO the platform upon
which the nominees were placed. These
facts young men are bound to take into
consideration II they deshs to arrive at =
Just conclusion. The result Of fair, re-
publican convention Is certainly entitled to
the respect Of members of the republican
party. A young man who would bolt the
nominations OF such . convention would
not b. credited with being very profound
in intellect or OF superior moral char
acter.
But the independents assert that the
trouble is all with the candidates. that they
are unworthy TO be supported by truly
good men Of the "stand by. am holier
than thou" class. They place their own
narrow. preiudiccd opinion against that of
the broad, universal. thoroughly formed
Judgment OF the great majority In the
convention with their vast constituencies
extending into every part of this wide
extending country. They raise their
voices In depreciation and in gross
personal abuse of MIR. Blaine. we'll

A Significant Change.

The constant attempts of the Advertiser to
make it, limited number of readers believe
that Mr.. Blaine is unworthy Of the support
of decent men remind one of the fact that in
other days that journal was wont to speak
well Of the republican candidate for Presi-
dent. In an article in the issue of Novem-
Der 22, 1881. the Advertiser said:
''Mr Secretary Blaine authorizes the an
nouncement that he is not q candidate for
such offices as the people Of Maine or Pres
ident Arthur might wish to offer him, and
that he will devote himself entirely to pri-
vate affairs, when he retires from the high
Office which he now occupies. This does
not mean that Mr. Blaine proposes to with
draw from politics. Mr.. Blaine will quit the
State Department with the respect of the
country greatly increased during the months
of trial in which the Secretary of
State had to bear the double burden of
government and unparalleled personal
anxiety. Those who do not share all of Mr..
Blaine's political views. and those who might
not sympathize with all his acts in foreign
politics, republicans and democrats, will
agree with Mr.. Blalne's personal and politi-
cal friends that he has earned and obtained
during President Garfeld's prostration the
esteem and the cordial respect Of the country.
and that these were won by that sincerity
and that di9nified bearing which were inspired
alike by manly heart and the sufferings of
the beloved President.
When the above was published Mr.. Blaine
was about to retire from public life. Since
il was written MIR. Blaine has occupied nc
public position, nor has he openly sought any.
On the contrary, he has simply attended tc
his own affairs. No partisan Of Mr.. Blaine
could wish for more appreciative estimate
Of him rs man and a statesman than the
ABOVE. printed by the Advertiser when
Mr. Goddard was its editor, and wher
it was conservative advocate OF republican
ideas. No change has taken place in Mr.
Blaine since the Advertiser expressed its ad
miraton Of him. The change must, conse
quently, have taken place in the Advertiser
IL can doubtless be accounted for on the
ground that the editor of the Advertiser in
November, 1881. knew Mr.. Blaine and the
present Board OF Directors do not.

The Court Of General Sessions opened yes-

His charge to the Grand Jury covered the
usual ground and was clear and succinct. He
dwelt With emphasis, upon their duty in re-
porting violations of the State law in refer
ence 10 selling whiskey, and the necessity Of
making careful examination of the books and
bonds Of the County officers.
True bills have been found in the following
cases:
The State vs. John Howell-burglary and
larceny. William G. pierson-obtainiue
; watch under false pretence. S. G. Dennis
trespass aud larceny. William Thomas and
Samuel demonstrating live stock. Robt

A Pretty Scene.

The crowniug of the May Queen by the
Methodist Sunday School last Wednesday
| evening, brought out prodigious crowd.
The Hall was packed aud the behavior even
of the "bad boy" was remarkably good.
At 8 80 the curtain rose and disclosed a
pretty scene. A beautiful bower in the cen
tire of the stage, deliberately decorated, con-
taiaed the throne for the Queen and seats for
her two maids of honor placed against the
crimson background.
The exhibition opened with song from on
invisible choir, and then six girls as lovely rs
fairies trooped in under the control OF their
directress. The Queen of May was crowned,
! the Queen Of Fairies opportunely being
present to perform that duty; and through
out the remainder of the exercises, consisting
of songs, dialogues and recita tons, the two
Queens sat most lovingly side by side, while
the stage was covered and pervadcd by v's-
ion of lovelness rarely seen. The exhibition
was full of delightfully."- fancful coaccits; and
the pretty little girls (and Dig ones too) in
their fairy costumes made the scene most IN
teresting even to those who could hear moth
ing. Dr. Aud stated ut the close of the
ceremony that ice cream, strawberries and
lemonade, were on hand aud for sale in the
rear of the HALL Then came the rush hun
dreds Of thirsty souls trying at the same
time to cool their parching tongues. Will
ing hands waited on the eager customers,
and the purse of the Church Building Asso-
citation was heavier by quite large amount at
the close of the evening.

are always on the side Of the saloon Keeper,
voted for fine ofS5 90. Capt. Loring, who
