ing no prospect of change have at last
given vent to their feelings in public

present deputy collector is an excellent

Deer Isle democracy demand of this civil

elected and democrat put in his place.
"An offensive republican partisan" is
what they call him.
This is a serious case for the admins

become of the country And if they are

Revolt Against Democracy.
New York Tribune.


More than eight years of war and recon.
struction could do to break its strength, more
than twice eight years of prosperity and
growth, has been done by these two events
the appeal of Mr. Blaine to genuine Ameri-
can patriotism, and the revolt of plundered
workingmen from the blind allegiance of
themselves and their fathers for half a GEN.
fury, to the democratic name. Movements
of this nature do not go backward. The
democratic workingmen who have revolted
this year did not quite realize how strong
they were, but they know now. The knowl-
edge brings them greater freedom to think,
and to ask questions. They cannot look for
republican sympathy so long as they threaten
the overthrow of the protective tariff, or
assail the rights of other workingmen, organ
ized or unorganized, black or white. But
when they get quite clear of blind and
slavlsh obedience to democratic dictation,
they will presently see that it has been the
republican party which has tor a quarter of a
century labored and battled for the uplifting
and the defense of labor, which has done
more than all other powers or parties in this
land to make labor honorable, prosperous
and free, and which, because it is the party
OF free workingmen themselves, deserves the
con tidence and the support of every intelli-
gent and free American worker.

The result Of yesterdays election is not
such as will please Massachusetts republi
cans, but is yer, much what many feared
who were aware of the situation. There was
a feeling of confidence not only among re-
publican committees and prominent men in
the parry, but on the part of republican vot
ers generally. The result shows that the re-
publicsns went into the contest without or

Mr.. James N. Stevens. Some two weeks ago
his neighbor, Capt. Frank Cunningham
whose farm buildings had been burned, sold
his farm stock and removed to Massachusetts.
He had two old horses which had been worked
long time together, one of which he sold
but the other being worn out, he gave to two
OF his neighbor's sons, named Mendell. The
horse upon being taken away appeared very
much dispirited and whenever he could get
away, he went back to the farm. On We'd
nesday upon going back he went to the old
watering place and drank, and afterwards
wandered short time over the deserted pre-
misses. He then turned back and with his
head dropping nea- the ground he proceeded
slowly back on the road toward Mendelrs
and then turned into the private way leading
to the shore of the bay The boys started
after him and got around him upon the fats,
the tide being out They were unable to
catch him, and he again turned and went
back to the waters edge. They again got
him turned back, but he got away, and went
back, that time into the water to his knees,
evidently to prevent their getting around him.
He then waded up some distance, when he
turned short and wsded out till the water was
up to his body, and then he deliberately
rolled over and sank, and there renamed till
he drowned.
