A Lady Outrageou.ly Treated.

A Auuy OutE3&cUusy Arcatc0s
A few days ago a lady residing at the West
End was doing some light work in her garden
when two we'll dressed men came along and
asked her If it was true she had milk COW for
sale. The lady said she had and after exhibit
ing the COW the men asked for drink of water
and said they would step into the house and
get it themselves 30 as not to trouble her. They
were gone little while and the lady stepped
into the house to see what they were about
She found them at work on bureau and had
just taken seventy-five dollars from a drawer
where she had placed it. The men seized her
and choked her until she became unconscious,
and then fed with the money. Strange to say
she has made no complaint to the police. The
information was given by clergyman at the
station yesterday. The lady's name was Mrs.

A Portland Scholar to Lecture Hsefor
the Concord school of PHILOSOPHY.

A Portland Scholar to Lecture Before
the Concord school of Philosophy.
To the Editor of the Press:
Among the lecturers before the summer
school of philosophy at Concord this month,
Boston and New York papers mention "The
French scholar Rene de -Belleiste" of
Portland.
Portland alone seems slow to recognize the
position that Monsieur de Poyen has achieved
for himself. This invitation comes to him
from distinguished scholars and includes him
among themselves. He has been long devot-
ed admirer of Emerson. His lecture, ga
French View of Emerson" will be given In
French and the discussion will be in alternate
French and English. 1t is to be hoped that
the lecture may be rendered into English for
the benefit of those who, not understanding
French, would yet be glad to know the French
view of Emerson from the standpoint OF a
Frenchman whom the Concord school consid-
ers a fit person to expound it. PORTLAND.

MR.. DRUMMoND's REMARKS.
Hon. Josiah a. Drummond was next intro

He said in brief that the people are now enter
ing upon which is to decide the politics of
the country for the next four years. They had
why they should vote for the candidates whose
names it bears. Protection has now become an i'm
portant questions, and the people of the United
interests of the world.
The prosperity of a country is based on its labor
and when the untry is prosperous it is happy. Mr.
Drummond alluded to the Democratic platform,
spoke of the boilers in Massachusetts as being
'',Roody goody'' men whom nobody could touch;
they were free traders and for each
one lost, ten laboring men were gained.
He favored strong foreign policy and hell that
Blaine was a man who would look sharply after the
interests Of American citizens abroad. 1t is lot
only our dRty to elect the candidates, but to elect
them by rousing maj Jrity. We must carry the
skrmish line and put the enemy to rout, a.
when the first of September comes will go to the
polls and do such good work that the cry of the
people all over the country will be; ''Well done,
old Maine"
His remarks were received with much
applause.
A selection of music was played by the band,
and cheers were given for the presidential.
congressional and gubernatorial candidates
with will, after which the crowd dispersed.
The procession reformed and marched up
Bracket street to Spring, and down Spring to
the residence of Congressman T. B. Reed
where a serenade was rendered him, the band
playing "Auld Lang Syne."
Mr.. Reed, on coming out upon the steps and
addressing the Guards, thanked them heartily
for their presence. A few moments before some
one had informed him that procession would
march by his residence, but he did not expect
to be called upon by such a large assemblage
of citizens. He spoke briefly in regard to the
prospects of the campaign. and thanked the
party once more for the compliment paid him.
Three ringing cheers were given for Con-
gresham Reed, and the procession marched
to the armory at Sterer's Hall, where it broke
ranks.

MR. KEATING's ADDRESS.
Mr., Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
1t gives me great pleasure to be called upon to
address the people this occasion. When the
news came over the wires that the Chicago Conven-
ton had chosen for the standard-bearers of this
campaign, James G. Blaine and John A. Logan, the
masses knew that 1t was the choice of the mecban-
ic the laborer and the soldier. Men, who in the
dark hours of financial distress stood by the credit
Of the country and saved It's honor 1t is the right
and duty of every American citizen, before casting
his ballot to scrutiniZe the candidates presented
for his VOTE and TO examine the principles they
represent How have the candidates of the Repub-
lican party conducted themselves, and what are
their principles? Are they honest? Do they repre-
sent American principles? james G. Blaine has
lived in Maine for upwards than twenty years.
During that time the people OF the State have de-
lghteu 10 honor him, and have hurled back upon
MS uetractors their foul accusations and base cal
umny. No doubt the people of Ward will do
their duty. The great prin ciple of this campaign
is protection to American industry and
labor. What has been the result of this
than ever before. When American citizens
OF Irish extraction in 1868 were languishing in the
prison pens of England, on vague and groundless
charges, James G. Blaine, in the halls of the Am

Citizens

The workingmen of Ward raised hand
some flag at the corner of Bracket and York
streets last evening. Over thousand ladies
and gentlemen were in attendance, and the
ceremonies passed off in most successful
manner.
At 7.45 o'clock the Blaine Guards, Capt.
Irish, headed by Chambers band, marched
from Storer's hall along Middle street to Free,
to High, to State, to York, to Bracket. Col.
ored lights were displayed along the route, and
the procession, numbering thirty torches, made
a very imposing appearance. The band and
several distinguished citizens took seats on a
platform constructed for the occasion, and at
o'clock Major Thomas P. Shaw called the as
sembly to order and introduced Albien Little,
Esq, as the chairman.
