STATE POLITICS.

HON. F. NJ. RAY NOT A CANDIDATE FOR
STATE SENATOR.
PORTLAND, July 20, 1886.
To the Editor of the Press:
Having been assured by many leading Re-
publicans of their intention to support me
for denomination as one of the senatorial
candidates from this county, | beg leave
through your columns to thank them and all
others who have entertained like intention
for these tokens of their approval of MY ser
vices in office; and at the same time to an
nounce that for reasons with which the pub
lie has no concern, l shall not, under any
circumstances, permit the use of my name
in the convention.
In taking this step, however, | do not wish
to be understood as having retired from ac-
tive participation in the affairs of the Re
publican party. In fact, my devotion to the
party and its principles was never deeper,
and my belief in its future success was new
er frmer than at the present time ;and con-
fidently expect for it national victory in
1888 that will eclipse all the brilliant record
of its past.
convention, my successor included, hereby
pledge my best endeavors to add no incon-
siderable amount to the old-time majority
which already awaits them at the polls

GEN. NEAL DOW ON THE STUMP.
Kennebec Journal.
Gen. Neal Dow of Portland delivered po-
litical lecture in the interests of the third
party at Packard Hail. Winthrop, Sunday
afternoon, at half-past four. He was an
nounced to deliver a temperance lecture, con-
sequently the hall was well filed The great
majority of his audience left in disgust at
the close, on account of the trick played to
announce temperance lecture and then be
treated to political harangue. The speaker
was very profuse in his denunciation of
judges, sheriffs, deputy sheriffs, county at
torneys and police officers charging them
with a deliberate purpose to nullify the pro-
hibitory law. When asked by Rev DR.. Ste
phen Allen why not impeach the judge who
refused to administer the law in cases be-
fore him, he hippantly replied 'that would
be no use; the judge would be simply ar
raigned in the legislature before Republican
Bosses" He gave as his reason for leaving
the Republican party that he had been to
the legislature and asked for amendments to
the prohibitory law that would stop the traf-
tic in Intoxicating liquors, and was "spit up
on and kicked OUT When asked to state
what the amendments were, he entirely
evaded the question, did not deign an ans
wer, and roundly abused Portland Judge
instead. Such political harangues will not
aid the temperance cause in this section.

think we can safely declare that less than
one-fifth of the crews Of American hsnlng
vessels are Canadians, and not five per cent
of the supplies used on board said vessels
are purchased outside of the United States.
And as large proportion of the men III
American fishing vessels go on shares instead
Of wages, it is not quite plain how Canadian
fishermen can be procured cheaper than
American. Mr.. Bayardls proposition to APP
point commission to arbitrate on the sub
Ject of new treaty meets with strenuous
opposition on the part of New England fisher
men!as is most natural. HE takes away my
life who takes away the means by which L
i've applies in this case The New Eng
land fishermen have uttered their protesta-
lions against the formation OF new treaty
with no uncertain sound. Is is necessary to
appoint commission in order to determine
what are the commercial rights of American
fishing vessels in Canadian ports? What
we want is not the privilege of fishing IN
Canadian waters, bnt simply the same COM
mercial rights in Canadian ports, as are
granted Canadian vessels in our ports, "only
the exigency of the case demands that those
rights be asserted. Should the Dominion
government persist longer in its arbitrary,
outrageous and unreasonable cause in haras-
sing American fishermen, we shall hope to
see speedy passage of the Boutelle bill now
pending which calls for an increase in the
too low duty ON preserved fish, and the i'm
position of a duty ON fresh fish which would
afford Unreasonable relief to our suffering
fishermen and enable us to say with the
dignity BETTING American citizens, Cana
dians you have overstepped the bounds, thus
