TO CAMPAIGN CLUBS ON RECEIPT OF $3.50.
oRFIvE cor1Es-oRDERE AT ONE TTmE-sl. 40 EACH.

HARPER's WEEKLY has for many years
maintained the twofold character of an ac-
knowledged leader Of public opinion, and of a
family journal of the highest rank in point of
literary and artistic excellence.
Independent of partisan control, it Is the
friend and advocate of all measures that tend
to the publication of politics, to the establish
ment of Civil Service reforms, to the spread of
knowledge and intelligence among the people,
and to the general advancement of humanity.
The Republican Party as the organized politi-
cal exponent Of these principles has received
its cordial sympathy and support; but HAIR
PER's WEEKLY has never surrendered into
party keeping the right of private judgment,
nor will it hesitate to criticise or condemn
whatever, within or without party lines, may
appear to be at variance with the fundamental
principles of right.
HARPER's WEEKLY believes the nomination
of JAMES G. BLAINE to have been grave po-
1itical mistake, and that his election would, at
this critical period Of the nations history, en-
danger the influence of Republican principles.
1t believes that the election of GROVER CLEvE-
LAND, who, as the Governor of the State OF
New York, has evinced the executive qualities
of sagacious, bipartisan statesman, would
promote the objects for which the Republican
Party has contended, and he will therefore re-
ceive the earnest and cordial support of HAIR
PER's WEEKLY.

A Marrow Escaue.

The Portland Railroad Company had mar
row escape from another serious accident
yesterday-an accident similar in character to
that Of last Winter. The car which left for
Deering about 2.45 p. m. was crowded with
people, so full in fuct that the attention of
bystanders was called to the slipping of the
car on the rails before the order to leave the
head of Preble street was given. 1t was re-
ported that the brake was broken before the
car started, but the driver denied the state
ment. At all events, after the car started it
went down the grade of Preble street so fast
that two ladies becsme frightened and tainted.
When Portland street vas reached the
car couldn't be turned as its impetus was so
great, and it left the iron and plunged across
the street into the fence attached to Mr.. e. f.
Boothby's house. AS the car left the rails the
driver had presence of mind to pull the pin
connecting the horses with the Car and they
were not hurt. Stran ge to say, no one in the
crowded car received injury, other than some
slight bruises. The car was one of the long
open cars with temporary canvas sides, and
was broken down.
