Struggle for a Maine Post Office.

Ellsworth is the home of Senator Eugene
Hale and other prominent men, and is a
halfway house from Bangor to Bar Harbor.
Its post-office, therefore, is worth fighting
for.
Eight democrats have put on war paint
and are after the place. -Four of the candi-
dates are farmers, one is a tailor, one boot
and shoe dealer, one a jeweller, and one a
harness-maker.
Ii is sad to see so many hardy agricul-
turists after political Office. Ssdder yet is
the fact that one of these hoe-tossers has
kept the poor-farm. which is altogether too
suggestive
a redeeming circumstance is the applica-
lion of a farmer who lives 10 miles OH. This
shows enterprise. He doubtless means to
walk to town and back and carry his hard
tack each day.
The battle of Ellsworth will go thunder
ing down the ages.-Bosfon Erening
