Romance of the Life of Veteran Maine
Sea Captain.

Romance of the Life of Veteran Maine
Sea Captain.
Boston Correspondence bingham, Mass, Journal ]
Captain Maxwell is one of the most re-
markable characters connected with New
England commerce since the War of 1912.
Had Marryatt come across him he would
have found legitimate subject for a three
volume novel. which would have made Mu-
dies fortune. Captain Maxwell is now
fully ninety years of age. His fortune is
immense. A native of Maine, he was wed
to the life OF seaman, and in time reached
the elevation of master. l knew him forty
years ago, when he was comparatively an
old man, but he was a splendid specimen of
physical perfection, and he must have been
more than that twenty years previous.
The Patterns of Bath, were the great ship
builders of Maine sixty years ago. Captain
Maxwell was in their employ. The females of
the Patten family for generations had been
noted beauties, but they were as eccentric as
beautiful. Captain Maxwell, in the pride of
his vigorous manhood, made love TO one of
these beauties and was rejected. By the way,
the marriage ties formed by the Patten girls
were not always of the pleasantest kind. One
married Jarvis Slade, of the well-knowu firm
of Lawrence, Stone IL Slade, the great dry
goods commission merchants. which went
down in the financial crash of 1857 IS. An
other and an equal beauty married Wildes
P Walker, whose business and financial rec
ord in Boston and New York are very well
known. After Captain Maxwell was re-
iected he became soured and turned his at
tention to accommodating wealth. For long
time he lived in Charleston in the most
penurious manner, till his mind gave way,
and to-day be is complete lmbecile; and
yet when he dies the bank records and safety
vaults of State street will have to proclaim
blm one of the richest, if not the richest
man in Boston. Captain Maxwelrs wealth
might belong to a family of hereditary mon
archs. it is so invested that no financial
panic can shake it; and yet looking at the
Captain Maxwell of sixty years ago and the
Captain Maxwell of to-day, who would &C.
cept the change at the price of all his
money?

THAT s4oo, ooo, 600 SURPLUS.


= Attorney Harrison in his sereech Wednes-
day evening said: These gentlemen (Gray
aud others) have perverted a statement of
Mr.. Calkins' in one of his early speeches"
He was referring to the statement of Calkins
as to the amount of surplus" in the Treas
ury. Perhaps Attorney Harrison can not
understand the English language. Here are
the exact words of Calkins taken from his
Richmond speech as published in the Jour
nal:
"The Republican party found an empty
treasury and now it has a surplus of $780,
100000"
Callzins doubtless said this through ignor-
ance of the facts, but little Attorney Har-
rison can not truthfully say that the Demo-
cratic speakers have perverted his statement
1t is 30 plain that even Attorney Harrison
ought to understand it.
This statement is giving the Republican
papers and orators a great deal of trouble.
1t will be observed that Calkins says the Re-
publican party has this money in the Treas
ury. The Democratic speakers and papers
are showing how much good this surplus
would do if it was put in circulation. Cal
kins fixes the responsibility of its being
boarded upon the Republican party, and
Attorney Harrison can't get him out of the
scrape,

lambs who have an itching palm for specu-
lative ventures. 1t is q species OF robbery
that has just enough of the air Of legitimate
business about it to relieve the SHOP" OF
the odium OF q common gambling hell,
possessing at the same time enough of the
insinuating allurement of the green cloth
to inveigle the most unsuspecting into its
deadly anaconda-like coils.
Many is the mortgaged home and poverty
stricken man that could. if they would, rise
up and testify 10 the seductive influence Of
Mr.. Doxey's adjustable device for trans
ferring money from the pocket-5ooks of the
public to his own capacious and gaping
wallet, and yet, Notwithstanding
the wrecks Of fortunes and happy
homes, like ghosts OF the damned
line every thoroughfare in his district, mad
so by the snake-like charm of the bucket
shop, the man Doxey has the effrontery to
ask the people to take ideals" in his Polit-
icsl bucket-shop, and thus enable him 10
obtain for his individual use and behoof in
a political what he squeezed" out OF them
in q financial way.
1t is q sad commentary on the moral sense
and business integrity of any people when
such a man as Doxey is recognized as a
leader IN either religion or politics, and the
district that would return such man to the
Congress of the Nation should not be accepted
as representing in any degree the real moral
worth, virtue and honesty of the people OF
the great State of Indiana. His election
would give the lie to our claim of honesty
of purpose and social excellence, for by our
fruits are we judged.
We all remember how, not only his own
district, but how the whole Nation felt
chagrined and Inundated over the presence
of the gambler, John Morrissey, on the floor
of the Nations Legislative Hall, yet Nor
risseY's gambling operations had the merit
of being open and undisguised, while
Doxey's are concealed behind thin veil of
so-called business ventures. In that, both
he and his system of gambling are
far more disreputable in every way than
MoTrissey and his chips and cards. Doxey
assumes virtue and has it not, while Nor
rissey neither possessed nor assumed it.
Now, we do not believe the people of that
community can afford to compromise their
dignity and besmirch their fair name by ad-
mitting by their act at the polls that Major
Doxey is fair and honest representative of
the religious, moral and business integrity of
the people of the Ninth Indiana Congress;
sional District. 1t would be far better to let
the Ninth's chair in Congress 90 unoccupied
until time shall be no more than to have it
taken by the inventor of the most wicked
and diabolically constructed bit of gambling
machinery that ever robbed humanity.

About THAI Joint Discussion.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Ind, Sept. 26. - This
morning Hon. John Z. Lamb forwarded the
following letter to Hon. James I. Johnston
To Hon. James 7. Johnston:
DEAR SIR notice in the Terre Haute Express
OF yesterday a letter addressed to me by you from
Clay City, Ind, under date of September a. 1884,
in which you renew your proposition for fourteen
Joint debates and fail so entirely to answer my
letter to you of the Goth inst proposing de-
bates To avoid any further delay, take il for
granted that your letter as published is correct
and / hasten to RESPOND without waiting for
the original communication to reach
me. In my letter to you Of the 10th inst, de-
clined with regret your proposition for fourteen
joint debates and stated clearly that, with the
limited time at my command, IL would be impos
sible for me to accept under these circumstances.
renewal OF your proposition made five days after
the date of my letter declining ii can only be con-
strued as an effort On your part TO prolong this
correspondence and avoid joint discussion with
me. You are certainly too well informed to be-
lieve that 1t would be possible for to have four
teen joint debates in seven consecutive days and
at the same time give the lsboring l-Jple
OF the district an opportunity to hear us:
Permit me TO suggest that because OF
your early nomination your canvass is much more
advanced than mine and that can not make any
more appointments until receive definite an
swer from you to my letter OF the 10th inst In
view of the fact that wrote you one week ago
that could not possibly give you fourteen meet
inas, will you not screw your newborn zeal Tor

who lis "steye" .Elkinse

No question since the organization of the
present Republican National Committee has
been more frequently asked than the one
which we shall here attempt to answer, says
the Denver News. The suddenness with
which an apparently obscure individual has
leaped into prominence, together with the
flourish of trumpets attending it, to say
nothing of his representation on the commit
tee as the member from a territory, has
naturally caused the inquiry. The answer
to it generally is that he is the son-in-law of
Senator Davis, of West Virginia, but that is
scarcely satisfactory. Our acquaintance with
the political history of New Mexico. together
with certain old residents ofMissouri, enables
us to give better one.
Mr.. Elkins is a Missourian, aid lived there
prior to and during portion OF the war.
His education and associations naturally de-
veloped in him strong love for the institu-
tons and interests of the South, and as q pro-
slavery Democrat he was in those days
