Ovation to Blaine.

Lewiston, Maine, June 25.-Blaine
arrived in Lewiston this evening and re-
ceiyed an ovation from the crowds assem-
bled at the railway station. He at once
drove to the residence of Col. Drew, whose
guest he is during his stay here. After tea
a procession composed of the local military
organizations and a reception committee IN
carriages, went to Col. Drew's residence,
where they received Blaine and escorted
him to the hall, which was densely packed.
When Blaine stepped on the platform he
was greeted with tumultOus cheers. A. X.
Savage. on behalf Of the committee Of
arrangements, delivered brief address OF
welcome. Mr.. Blaine replied as follows :
Mr.. Chairman and Ladies and Gentle
men of the cities of Lewiston and Auburn
l am deeply moved by the cordiality of
your reception. 1t is very great addition
to the compliment of your reception that
it is outside and beyond the line of party
division and that / am permitted to meet
you simply as old fIiends-fellow citizens
of the same state which l am proud to
claim as my home. In the last thirty
years l have in public station and IN
private life known and appreciated your
city and citizens, and have cO-Operated
with them in many ways for the benefit
of our joint constituents. l attended a
public meeting in Lewiston thirty-two
years ago. 1t was then small village
When l see the superb city which now
welcomes me and meet this vast assem-
blage of your people / am more than ever
impressed with the energy, character and
magnificent enterprise of the American
people-Republicans and Democrats alike
and can say with pride, quoting almost
literally the language of Jefferson, That
upon such an occasion as this we are all
Democrats and all Republicans" 1 can
not close without again thanking you
most profoundly, ladies and gentlemen, tor
the cordiality with which you have greeted
me, and wishing to each and all of you
and to your beautiful city, continuation
of that abundant prosperity in the future
which you have enjoyed so richly in the
past.
At the conclusion of his remarks Blaine
held an informal reception and many EN-
braced the opportunity to take him by the
hand. Tomorrow Blaine will attend the
exercises at Bates College.

Disastrous Storm.

PHILADELPHIA, June 26.-Reports from
the regions affected by the storm last
night show much damage. At York the
submerged district includes, besides private
residences, stores, lumber yards, and some
large manufactures. Several of the latter
are on the west side of the stream, and the
extent to which they have suffered cannot
be ascertained, as all the bridges, eight in
number including the Pennsylvania rail-
road bridge, were swept away. Much live
stock perished. Thousands of feet of lum-
ber were washed away, and valuable con-
tents of many of the buildings were
wholly ruined.
A dispatch to the Press from Chambers
burg says: By the heavy rain last night
about 800 feet of the Baltimore & Cum
berland Valley railroad was washed away
at Five Forks. The bridge at Five Forks
was also swept away, making it necessary
to tranfer passengers in carriages dis
tance of two miles.
Another dispatch from York says that
nearly 200 frame houses and stables were
swept away, but no lives were lost.

The AbIest and Most Experienced Man
ATLANTA, (Ga.,) Constitution. Dem).l

ATLANTA, (Ga) Constitution. Dem)l
The nomination of Mr. Blaine is the best
it could have made, and it willrequire all
that the Democrats can do to bring about
his defeat. Recognizing the nature and
extent of his popularity within the iimita-
tions which we have mentioned, we are
free to say that there is no room in the
campaign for any Democratic blunders, and
no place in the programme to accommodate
the capering and vaporing procliyities Of
certain Democratic cranks who assume to
lead the party, and who have led it time
and again from the emergencies of hope to
the certainty Of defeat Should Blaine be
elected we believe his administration will
be a liberal one He is the ablest and most
experienced public man to be found in the
Republican party, and if the country is to
have another four years of Republicanism,
we believe Mr.. Blaine will give more gen.
eral satisfaction than any other Republican.
He will at least fly the American flag over
the White House and the State House, and
there will be some consolation in that

THERE Is NO DEATH.

There is no death The stars go down
To rise upon some fairer shore,
And bright in Heavens jewelled crown
They shine for evermore. a....
There is no DEATH The dust we tread
Shall change beneath the summer shower
To golden grain, or mellow frnit,
Or rainbow tinted flowers.
The granite rocks disorganiZe
To feed the hungry moss they bear r.
The fairest leaves drink daily life
From out the viewleSS air.
There is no death, The leaves may fall,
The flowers may fade and pass away;
They only wait through Wintry hours
The coming of the May. .-.
There is no death! An angel form
Walks DER the earth in silent tread;
He bears our best loved things away,
And then we call them dead"
He leaves our hearts all desolate;
He plucks our fairest, sweetest mowers;
Transplanted into bliss, they now
Adorn immortal bowers. ..
The birdlike voice, whose joyous tones
Made glad this scene of sin and strife,
Sings now in everlasting song
Amid the trees of life
And when he sees smile too bright,
Or heart too pure for taint or vice,
He bears 1t to that world of light,
To dwell in Paradise.
Born into that undying life,
They leave us but to come again:
With joy we welcome them, the same
Except in sin and pain.
...,.
And ever near us, though unseen,
The dear, immortal spirits tread,
For all the boundless universe
Is life: there is no dead.

A Democratic View of Blaine.
Cincinnati Inquirer.

The National Republican Convention
yesterday selected the Hon. James G..
Blaine of Maine as the candidate of the
party for the presidency of the United
States In nominating him the cOnven-
ton has acted in accordance with the
wishes of nine -tenths of the Republican
voters of the country. The nomination
was therefore popular one to make By
this nomination the Pharisees and hypO-
critics of the party are routed and covered
with confusion. They made bitter and
unrelenting fight against him, but their
black flag had to come down. The idol
of the Republican masses has achieved a
most decisive victory. The politicians,
tricksters, manipulatOrs, and professional
schemers for power and place have been
overthrown and the man of the people
chosen. --'- '.'..-
James G.. Blaine was not born with a
silver spoon in his mouth. AS boy he
was compelled to battle with poverty, and
in the hand tO-hand struggle with life had
to push aside the arrogance which wealth
invariably begets and wears. AS young
man he was compelled to be the tutor in
stead of the spoiled and pampered pupil.
When he dared to enter political life he
was met by that rascality which wealth is
too often the parent Of But Mr.. Blaine
ALWAYS maintained steadfast course, and
to-day he is the most conspicuous figure
and the strongest man in his party. It
must be conceded that he is the most capa-
BILE man and the most thorough master of
politics that can be found within the Re-
publican hosts to-day. Blaine is states
man, while too many of his contemporaries
are merely politicians. Always the de-
fender of American interests, he will
awaken an enthusiasm that no other man
in his party possibly could.
The means by which certain of his own
party sought to compass his defeat were OF
the viest and most vicious character, and
naturally have fallen harmless upon him.
To the unparallel lying of few of the
daily newspapers and the low caricatures
of a portion of the illustrated press, Mr..
Blaine should feel much indebted. The
magnanimity, the manliness and the spirit
of fair play which predominant in the
American character asserted themselves
by awarding the victory to Blaine in ar
swer to the vile attacks which were made
upon him. The nomination OF Blaine may
be understood as an Endorsement Of the
short and sad administration OF Garfield
Northern Ohio, the home of the murdered
president as we write, is greeting the ris-
ing sun by the booming Of cannon and
general rejoicing. In that locality espe-
cially is the nomination Of Blaine regard
ed as an Endorsement of the administration
of their friend and neighbor, who fell by
the assassin's bullet. In choosing Mr.
Blaine, the convention recognized the i'm
portance of the vote of Ohio at the Octo-
Der election ..-. ~

DAKOTA HORSE.THIEVES.
Four Hung and One Shot by Mclean
County Farmers.
Bismarck Tribune.l

Bismarck Tribune.l
For some time the farmers of Mclean
county have been after the horse thieves
and Sunday night were rewarded for their
labors by catching Jacob O'Neil, one of the
leaders of the gang, whom they hung to a
telegraph pole, six miles south of Victoria.
The horse thief was hung by the lariat
with which he had captured the horses.
Captain Barr, who came down on the
Undine last evening, said that while at
Washburn the report had reached that
point to the effect that the remaining four
horse thieves had been followed as far as
the Mouse river, where a fight ensued.
One of the thieves was shot and the other
three hung. This report, of course awaits
confirmation, although it came reliably to
Washburn.
An inquest was held over the body of
O'Neill on Monday evening and it is un-
derstood that the verdict of the jury is
that the deceased met his death by suicide,
riding on his horse to the telegraph pole,
tying the rope to the pole and his neck,
and driving the horse out from under him.
In his pocket was found note bearing the
words, "ONeill the horse thief" The
farmers of the country are gratified over
the result, and are determined to protect
their property. -

Bold Robbery.
THusbandman.


On Friday night last a couple of masked
men, stripped down to their underclOthing
in order that their clothing might not be
recognized, entered the house of j. Laney,
known as the Canyon House, nine miles
from White Sulphur Springs, held up the
inmates, and robbed the place of all the
valuables they could lay their hands on.
Young Allen and another young man from
Aliens saw mill who chanced to be stop
ping there for the night, were searched
also. The robbers got about 500 from
Mr.. Laney, but failed to find any money
on the other two men, though one of them
had $40 on his person. The young men
held up their hands until they gave en-
tirely out, and they had to rest them on
their heads. The robbers seemed well ac-
quainted with the premises. Their masks
consisted of handkerchiefs tied over their
face with holes cut to look through. They
were evidently aware that Mr.. Laney had
money in his possession. --
On Monday night last the saloon at the
forks of the Musselshell, one mile from
Martinsdale was held up by couple OF
masked men, who behaved in the same
manner as those who robbed Laney. They
had their coats off and handkerchiefs tied
over their faces. Fortunately young War
rem, who runs the place, had taken the
money to the house few minutes before.

The Failure of Stout & Co.

NEW YORK, June 26.-The Tribune says
of the failure of Stout & Co. that no state
ment of their affairs could be made for
several days, but negotiations are pending
which might end in a speedy resumption
of business The failure is understood to
have been caused primarily by the calling
of loans on the Metropolitan Railroad stock,
of which the firm has been carrying large
amount for several years. The most inter-
esting feature of the failure was of c. j.
Hudson & Co., firm of which Henry A.
Smith is special partner. On receipt of
notice from Stout & Co. to sell quietly 200
shares of the New York Central stock
loaned it, the word quietly" was read
quickly" and Hudson at once sent
notice to the chairman of the Stock Ex-
change to sell the stock under the rule
On account Of the failure Of Stout q Co. the
letter was read, but the stock was sold ia
accordance with its terms. Soon after the
sale the firm was obliged to announce its
suspension. No little feeling was mani
tested by the members of the Exchange
because the action of Hudson Il Co. was
regarded as an attempt to depress the mar
ket. There was some talk about calling a
special meeting of the Governing Com
mittee to consider the circumstances, but it
ended in talk. The matter was brought to
the attention of the President of the Ex-
change, who decided that Hudson q Co.
were justified in their course by the rules
of the board.
81 did not intend doing wrong" Hud-
son said yesterday afternoon, "but l sup
posed 1 was following instructions The
hoI
before I received the notice, which
naturally read hurriedly. My mistake ex-
posed the insolvency, which might have
been concealed little longer. That is the
worse that can be said of it under the cir
cumstances, although many persons will
say did it for a purpose. l have made
an apology to Stout & Co. for the error and
can really do no more"

American Railways in Mexico.

GALVESTON, June ga Laredo special
says: Information was received to-day di-
rect from the City of Mexico, which gives
the startling news that American railways
in Mexico are to be handicapped by law
requiring that all railways in that country
be fenced the entire length of their lines,
with fences on both sides, which must be
stock-proof even 20 the keeping out of
goats 1t is estimated that the Mexican
Central will have to expend S500,00O to
comply with such law. The Mexican
Government has now appointed an inspec-
tor of railways whose duties shall be to
supervise and regulate the train schedules.
No special train can be run without first
obtaining his consent.

Stock Stealing.
Yellowstone Journal.

Reports of horse stealing from all quar-
ters show that there is growing disposi-
ton on the part of some to take care of the
stock of others without going through the
general order of business. The stealing of
a car load of horses at Dickinson, is, if true,
one of the slickest of all unbusinesslike
methods. 1t is supposed that the horses
were taken out of the car by the thieves,
branded and turned loose, to be identified
by the owners the best way they can.
Diligent search has been made for the cul-
prits but thus far without avail and we
understand that the officials of Dawson
county are exerting themselves in the
matter

For death cuts short all laughter;

And man to man be dearer.
NO time like now; the future lies

And merry be the chorus.

Ana born an heir to sorrow,
But what's the use of doubts and fears

made happy and modest address, saying
that he had many misgivings of his ability
to perform the duties involved satisfactor-
lily, and asking the full benefit of the su-

said: 1t was my good fortune to have
known him intimately for over thirty years
l have watched his career during that time
with unusual interest, and 1 have never
known any one to be actuated by pureI
motives or governed by higher standard
of morals. His lofty patriotism and splendid
abilities are recognized and acknowledged
everywhere. He is always on the Amer
ican side of every question. These virtues
and accomplishments account for his won.

the American heart The speaker said the
Democratic party must be held to its record
Of free trade and tariff for revenue only.
After abiding to LOgan'ssplendi record
he said in conclusion: With such: candi-
dates and such principles as are set forth in
