LAKE VIEW CEMETERY,
Appearance of the Ground, and De-
sCrlpttOn of New Monuncnts

Appearance of the Ground, and De-
scription of New Monuments.
Lake View cemetery is now In all the
freshness of its early summer beauty. The
trees are thick with foliage, the turf green
and bright, and the grounds are being moved
and put in the very finest condition. The
frequent rains of the past few days have
caused the grass and leaves to grow with
unwontcd luxuriance, and the closely
moved lots, with their handsome terraces
and slopes, present most handsome
appearance. The lawn around the
Howard mortuary chapel is especial
" beautiful, with its granite Dor
Ger The lawn is rs level and smooth as
floor, very closely grown and fresh, and is
the admiration of all the visitors to the ceme-
terry. Nearly all the lots are also covered
with the most beautiful turf, and many
hitherto unused portions of the grounds are
being seeded and cut into lots by MIR.
Poquette and his assistants. Lots are being
rapidly taken up this season, and very soon
the entire cemetery will be opened to drives
and paths. A few very handsome new
monuments have been erected since last sea-
son. The finest Of thesc-and, indeed, the
finest memorial stone anywhere in this
vlcinlty-is the new monument on
the Barnes lot, description of which
has already been published in these columns
A very fine monument of Barre granite, in
sarcophagus form, has been placed on the
George Francis lot, The monument is rich
unique and very finely gotten up. 1t is
about six feet high and four feet wide. In
the E. o, Stafford lot an elegant cottage
monument of Barre granite has been erected
OF especially new and han9so design, II
is about seven feet high, and is ono OF the
finest small monuments in the cemetery. On
the Albert Taft lot is q fne new monument
of Barre granite, ten feet high. Its con-
struction is very beautiful, and it is sur
mounted by elegant urn, AS of
Barre granite. On the Samuel H. Baker
lot there is very TASTEFUL neat shol,
column of Barre granite, polished. 1t has
two broad bases, and is one of the most
noticeable memorials in that portion of the
grounds. The only new marble memoir al
Us very graceful column on the lot of Will
marth G. Farmer. 1t is six feet high, and
IS one of the incest marble monuments IN
the cemetery. On the Miles Evarts lot is a
BARRE granite monument, with urn, which
is most admirably proportioned, having an
appearance of lightness and grace which is
quite noticeable upon approaching The
monument is eight feet high and very richly
polished. The Herr ick lot has been sur
rounded with fine curbing of Barre granite
with tastefully designed entrance and cor.
ner posts of the same stone. Several other
new monuments are to be erected this sea-
son a very fine one being already in pre-
paration for the James A. Shedd lot. There
are very few cemeteries in the country which
can show so many handsome memorial
stones as Lake View, and certainly none
which can boast natural advantages, or more
excellent care of the grounds and everything
pertaining to them.

Blaine and Logan I'm tn south.

The leading Southern Democratic papers
seem to be united in the opinion that the
Republican ticket is going to prove strong
one in the South. The Atlanta Constitution
declares that, II Tilden declines land be has
declined), cit is not impossible that Mr..
Blaine will be the next occupant of the
White Houue. Should he be, we believe his
administration will be liberal one. He is
the ablest and most experienced public man
to be found in the Republican party, and il
the country is to have another four years of
Republicanism, we believe that Mr.. Blaine's
administration will give more general satis-
faction than that of any other Republican.
The Augusta Chronicle and C0nstttuti0n-
alist says 1--WE will have trouble enough
to elect our men over those Just named at
Chicago, and that fact may as well be stated
and relied upon at once. The campaign will
be red-hot; and If we arc to win, none but
irst-class statesman of incorruptibe record
must be the Democratic standard bearer.
With Western men for 90 odd years the re-
publicans have triumphed." And 1t thinks
Ban Western man in character, and all
hut his residence.
re Houston, Texas, Post says. 'The
y lOcratc party must be aware that by
i'niing Blaine the Republicans have
t>h t the finest trump card in their deck.
Ii II use to digulse the fact Blaine is
a very strong man, difficult TO beat. He has
the magnetism of the few select who stand
head and shoulders above their fellow men;
his private record is a pure one-to the best
of our acknowledgement his ability has been
tested a hundred times and not been found
wanting. The Democracy should not under
rate their enemy.
The Lyrchburg, Va, Nsps says that a
strong attempt will be made by the Republi-
cans to carry Virginia, and it warns the
Democrats not to be too confident. The
Virginia Seaport and the Richmond Wig
both declare that Blaine and ogan will run
strongly in Virginia, and poll thousands of
Democratic votes, The Wheeling Intel6-
gencer thinks that West Virginia will give
her electoral vote to the Republicans. In
short, all over the South there is feeling
that the contest is going to be one of unusual
vigor and that the result can not by any
means be safely regarded as foregonc con-

From a Salt Lake City Lotte


Mormonism does not change its boaslful

somewhat its expressions, but its spirit is
bitter, and its acts would be violent if that
were safe. Salt Lake CITY is at present filled
with Mormon families, who have come In
from all parts Of tho Territory, making prep

dance with maud1tc Of the church. Dur.
ing the past few years, the Mormons have
planted vigorous colonies in all the Rocky
Mountain States and Territories, and it is the
most Ignorant fanatical and obedient classes

1t is almost needless to say that the abomi
nations of Mormonism are not left behind
and the way in which this scheme of spread

NATIONAL POLITICS,

strong speech by senator Hale.
ELLSWORTH, Me-, June 17.-At 8 o'clock
tonight crowd of people gathered at Han.
cock Hall, literally filling it to overlooking
The reception committee, accompanied by a
band of music, proceeded Mr.. Blaine, Gen.
Logan and Senator Hale from the residence
of the latter to the Hall, where grand re.
paired to the residence of Senator Hale
where Mr., Blaine aud Gen. Logan were
received with cheers. Senator Hale made
speech in the course Of which he said
"There are this year a great many live,
earnest men in the country who have not
hitherto acted with the Republican party,
who believe in the doctrines laid down in
the Chicago platform and the live earnest
candidates whom we have placed upon
it. For every grumbler who protests against
our platform and our ticket: for every doubt
er who thinks the mission Of the Republican
party ended for every one who revolts
against the rule of the majority for every
traitor who would deliver the citadel to the
foe-these live, earnest men, who have never
yet been with us, but whom our candidates
and our principles satisfywill give US our
hundred and the party will come out Of the
BATTLE stronger than ever.
Now, have some experience in National
conventions and | have watched this one
carefully, though at distance. If there was
any one thing to be seen plainly from the
beginning it was this: that Blaine's nomina-
ton was inevitable, and Il was equally plain
that it was not to be done by management
or fincsse. The people sent delegates to
Chicago to nominate one man for President
and they followed them there by thousands
to see to it that their will should be done.
For the first time in the history of the party
the unite rule was rid of and
the voice of the district was heard.
They demanded him for a leader aud the
voice which commanded in June at Chicago
will command and be obeyed in all the
United States in November. | have great
pleasure in presenting to you our friend, our
neighbor, our distinguished fellow citizen,
next President, Hon. James G. Blaine.
Mr. BIaine's Speech.
Mr.. Blaine said: 81 have had many
causes for great gratitude to the people OF
Maine in these many years past for their
friendship, support and confidence; but l
never was so profoundly touched as l have
been by the manner in which have recently
been received by all classes and, might say,
all parties in this State; for have to rec
ognize besides the friendship of my own
political associates the courtesy and kind
ness manifested by those who have
in the past have been opposed TO me politi-
cally. Whatever may be the issue of the
pending campaign of which it would indeed
| be unbecoming of me to speak. can
say that by the people of this State | have
in this supreme crisis of my public career
been already sustained in manner that
gives me the most intense satisfaction.

The National Convention.

CHICAGO. June 1. - The bulletin
does not give estimate of Arthurs
strength. The Times says yesterdays
votes give Arthur pos on first ballot and
Blame 36i. Further says the opinion
that neither Arthur or Blaine will be
nominated is stronger than ever, while
few venture an opinion as to the prob
able prospects of other candidates. 1t
is not thought ballot will be reached
to-day, owing to the contest over the
Virginia delegation. Its now reported
that John B. henderson, of Missouri,
will be made permanent chairman of
the convention.
