Campaign Notes.

The Providence journal having remarked that,
"had Mr. Blaines letter of acceptance been written
by Senator Edmunds or Senator Hoar,s as the Re-
publican nominee for the Presidency, the Boston
Herald would have applauded 1t wise and states
manlike," the Herald admits that "with some ex-
captions this is measurably true. 1t is the imam
back Of the letter. that destroys confidence in the
letter itself We take it this is what they all really
think, Advertiser and all. A wise and statesman
like letter in itself, but Mr.. Blane's letter, and
hence weak and wicked. Next confession is GOOD
for the soul.-Boston Journal.
The New York Sun concludes an exhaustive re-
view of MIR. Blsine's book-"Twenty Years of Con-
gress''-a follows: ''Wc have enumerated n few
particulars in which feel constrained TO dissent
from MI Blaine's conclusions but they are not of a
nature TO materially affect the profound impression
made on the reader by his book. Twenty Years
OF congress" is brilliant, weighty, durable pro-
duction. No man who has not read this history can
annrm that ne truly and thoroughly knows Mr..
Blaine, and none that goes for knowledge of the
author to these pages will underrate his intellect
his candor and his magnanimity.'
Tbs political information from New York is of
the most gratifying character. The reports from all
sections of the State agree in showing an over
whelming and irresistible current for Blaine and
Logan. The evidence on this point is of the most
conclusive character Indeed, 1t is so strong that
II testimony were not all one way it would be al
most incredible. If the election were to be held
now, Blaine would carry the State by an immense
majority and there is no prospect of any change
marked as to reverse this current.-Philadelph
Press.
The Biddeford (he) Sentinel has taken the
trouble to go back thirty years, and royive the his
tory of the Know-nothing fanaticism, which IL
prints at considerable length. This is misdirected
enterprise. 1t is pretty generally admitted AZ :
Mr james G. Blaine and Rev. John u. Stevens a
who were editors of the Kennebec Journal in az

TEMPERANCE IN KANSAS.
Some Republicans Want the PrOhibitory
Amendment Again Submitted TO the
ReOuIe-The Resalufious,

Some Republicans Want the PrOhibitory
Amendment Again Submitted TO the
PeOpIe-The Resolutions
TOPEKA, Kan. Aug.-21-The convention
OF Republicans who are in favor of again sub
uniting the prohibitory amendment to the peo-
pie, met here at o'clock last night. A
temporary organization was made permanent.
The committee on resolutions submitted long
platform. 1t asserts in substance that the
majority OF the Republican party of Kansas
has determined to coalesce with and adopt the
dogmas OF the Prohibition party and that in
pursuing this course it has departed from true
faith OF Republicanism, and says:
We have repeatedly protested against
TINS suicidal course and in a spirit of con-
citation and concord have appealed to them in the
light of past experience to consult again the will of
Ine people on the Vexatous question of prohibition.
warnings have been answered by sneers and onnro
brious eplthets. Now in the name of the national
RePu4htcan party, We arraign the Prohibition
majority IactO2 OF this State as untrue to Republ-
can principles and an enemy to Republican success
we arraign it as an organization that is plotting
ana consplring all over the country to defeat the
Republican ticket. In Kansas they remain
nominally with the Republican party, solely be-
cause that party can be used to carry their pet
hobby.
Such being the case and declining to accept their
doctrines we prefer them declared enemies
rather than as treacherous friends We condemn
the coWardice and hypocrisy of those Republican
leaders who have permitted this foreign and false
issue to be thrust upon the party in this STATE On
their heads shall rest the grave responsibility
. We endorse the platform of the National Repub-
lcan party, and pledge our un qualified support to
It's nominees, James G. Blaine and John A. Logan
We especially endorse the action of the national
convention through its committee on resolutions in
rejecting the abominable doctrines of prohibition
and We hold that the action of said convention nm
on that as upon all other questions constitutes the
controlling rule of action for all true Republicans
throughout the country, and that while supporting
Blaine and Logan we cannot consistently support
the odious doctrine which has been expressly re-
nomination.

FELL FORTY FEET.
A Young Man Fatally Injured by the
Breaking of Limb of n Tree

The telegraph yesterday briefly noted an
accident in Biddeford, by which young man
lost his life. The details are thus given BY
the Biddeford Journal;
Arcene, a 19-year-old son of Alexander
Miller, who occupies tenement No. In the
Summer street block, climbed high mp into .
pine tree at Gooch & Haines' granite quarry
on Granite street, to witness a game of ball on
the grounds on the opposite side of the street.
at $50 O'Clock Wednesday afternoon. The
limb upon which he perched himself was
dead and he had occupied his seat but few
minutes, when the branch snapped with a re-
port as loud as pistol that attracted the at
tention of everybody in the vicinity, and he
was precipitated to the ground, distance Of
40 feet. In his descent he struck q number of
dead limbs, that broke like pipe stems and
caused his body to revolve several times be-
fore It reached the ground. Young Miller fell
heavily upon his back and one side of the
head, and when the crowd that witnessed the
accident had reached the scene he lay upon
the rocky road bed in stunned state Blood
streamed from his nose, mouth and ears, and
feeble groans escaped from his lips. He was
lifted up and laid in an express wagon that
was standing in the street and conveyed to
his home. All the while he continued to
moan piteously, but did not fully regain his
senses. DR.. +. g. Warren was summoned
and rendered all the assistance possible, but
1t was evident that the young mans recovery
was matter OF very grave doubt, as the
chances were that some OF the internal blood
vessels had been ruptured. He fingered along
until about $50 o'clock, and died in terrible
agony.

THE HAY CROP.

Reports From New England and the
Provinces-The Crop 80 Per Cent Less
Than Last Year.
SPRINGFIELD, Aug. 21.--Reports to the New
England Homestead from 325 points, covering
the Provinces, New England and New York,
indicate that the hay crop just harvested is
nearly 30 per cent. less than last year. The
average yield in the several sections is as fol-
lowe: Maine, Is per cent; New Hampshire,
65; Vermont, 81; Massachusetts, "a; Connecti-
cut, 60; Rhode Island, S3; New York, 70;
Provinces, 50. The average for the whole
section is 70 per cent. Prices are higher than
last year, when the crop was very heavy in The
great shipping counties. Many farmers will
either have to sell their stock or buy hay. Cat
tie will, therefore, be somewhat lower than one
year ago. The drought in northern and
central New England is extending south and
west The make of butter and cheese in Yer
mont and in the great cheese section of New
York State will be much curtailed. Another
week of drouth will seriously affect the milk
supply of Boston and New York.
