Grand Master RobIe's Address.

UIUUts
Governor Robie rendered q real service to
the State when he delivered his annual adj
dress as master of the State Grange. Gov,
Robie is thorougly conversant with the busi-
ness of the State, and has more widely ex-
tended acquaintance among all classes OF
our citizens than any other man can boast
of, and when he speaks in regard to Maine
He proved in his address before the grangers
that Maine is going forward, not backward
that progress and Improvement is the rule
and not the exception, and that here the la
Dor of the toiler Is rewarded better than in
any other States the advantages are appar-
emily greater. The thanks Of all good citi.
zens ought to be returned to Governor RobiC
for his timely and much needed document.

FROM WASHINGTON.
The Struggle for the Lewiston Post
office.
Objections to Levi creenleaf, the
Carpet Bagger.
More Fourth Class Postmasters APP
pointed for Maine.
Especial to the Press. !


WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-The administra-
tion is just now enjoying brief respite from
the opportunities of the Maine Office seekers.
The next offices to become vacant are the
post offices at Bucksport and Wiscasset Feb.
9th, Lewiston Feb. 18th, Bangor Feb. 10Th
and Mechanic Falls March I'd. The most
interesting struggle will doubtless be over
the Lewiston post Office, although that has
not yet reached its height and probably will
not until well along into next month. Post
master Little's commission expires on the
18th of February and it is practically certain
that his successor will not be appointed be-
fore that date. About the middle of next
month, however, the fight will begin to wax
interesting. The number of candidates in the
field is quite a large one, and who ever re-
ceives the appointment there will be large
number of disappointed and disgruntled ones.
The first man in the field, and one who it is
said here, has the longest petitions in the
files of the department is Levi Greenleaf,
lawyer of the city. The strongest objection
to him comes from the fact that he is some
thing of a carper-bagger, having been a resi-
dent OF the city but very few years. Next
w hAhi 40 Nlldlito w dlktT, WHO was
mayor for two terms and quite popular
with the party in the city. Hon. Jesse Ly-
ford and his son. Fred D. Lyford, would also
like the Office very much. w. w. Sanborn,
a lawyer, and f. a. Conant, an insurance
agent and ex-collector of taxes, also figures
as possibilities. AT present the chances
seem to be most strongly in favor of one of
the first two mentioned, Greenleaf or Walker,
but in the month and half which inter-
venes before the Office becomes vacant, there
is no knowing what may happen, and some
new man who is not now mentioned at all,
may bear off the coveted prize. The salary
of the Office is So 500, with 50, $50 for clerk hire,
which gives qui-e a patronage to the post
master, he having also the appointment of
six letter carriers.

tie details The by-play Of the various ac-
tors was well sustained, the ehoruses were
well drilled and the sol0ists were very effec-
tive. especially Miss Wood as the plaintiff,
Mr.. Dennis the defendant and Mr.. Payson
the usher. The bridesmaids dance and
chorus was remarkably well done. The
Theatre orchestra accompanied In excellent
style, under the efficient baton Of Mr.. Dun
can. Elegant floral tributes were presented
Miss Wood snd Mr.. Duncan. The gentle
men behind the scenes, Mr.. Virgin, who
directed the stage, and Mr.. ellison, who had
charge Of the properties, are entitled to much
praise for their efforts. The audience was
olarge Il filed every seat down stairs and
almost all those in the balcony, and the per-
formance could be repeated with equal sue
cess. The following was the cast for both
plays:

Baton Rouge Truth.
Sometimes in discussing collateral
questions the editors of leading jour
nails forget themselves for the once and
allow their real convictions on leading
issues to crop out in print.
This is illustrated in a recent number
of the MorehOuse Sentinel by an article
attacking Messrs. Crandall and Shields
fol manipulating" political meeting
in the Fifth District, and fixing the
basis of representation on the INC
Emery vote" cast at the last general
election. The Sentinel, strong adher-
ent of the Administrati n, startles us
by characterizing that vote as unjust
and fraudulent, calculated to smother
the voice of the Democratic party"
and to have "Democratic Convention
controlled by a Republican represen-
tom
We stand aghast at such language as
this. The Sentinel's editor should Ger
tainly be called upon to explain.
The Patriot Democrat has an inter
esting editorial in its recent issue
touching Gov. Nc. Emery and the fac
tons in this State. In Louisiana it is
generally accepted as true that you are
either with the Guv'nor or "agin" him,
and this fact leads the P.-D. to infer
that Gov. Nj. is man of some marked
distinguishing traits OF character, by
force of which the bitter interparty
strife has been strengthened and per-
petuated. 10 the course Of its able ar
ticle the P.-D. says:
I" The great fault with the
Governor is the exhibition of an unwise
and unstatesmanlike selection of un-
worthy personal friends to fill positions
of public trust, and an obstinate un-
reasoning persistence in keeping them
in such positions after their utter un-
worthiness has become known to him,
and even after their grave derelictions
have became matters of public nOtori-
ETY.. His generous warm-hearted ma
ture has drawn to Governor McEne1y's
side many true and devoted friends
whose desire 1t is to see him so manage
the affairs of his office as to afford an
overwhelming refutatiGn of the thOus-
ands of charges and insinuations direct
ed against him. On the other hand, his
too great susceptibility to t1attery has
lead to him espouse with all the ardor OF
his friendly nature the causes of design

having once received them inc the cir
Gle of his friendship, he seems to have
been incapa ble of eXcisiDg the slightest
