introduction of any such resolutions as those
n+rodnoed nv the Westhrool, deleoation

introduction of any such resolutions as those
introduced by the Westbrook delegation.
He sat down amid storm Of applause, and
Mr.. w. II. Mclaughlin of Scarboro, arose.
He. too, objeeted to indorsing any of the old
parties. ''We could have indorsed the old
parties by staying at home, he said and the
delegates applauded again. If the West
brook delegates wanted to sell the eonven-
ton out to lawyer or capitalist, they
could, but he should go home to Scarboro be-
fore he would allow any such thing to be
done. They didn't want lawyer or capi-
talist or ''any of their kidney for Congress
man. Thomas B. Reed and William II. Cliff
ford each lived ON an income, and one was
as bad as the other.
The delegates applauded uproariously as
the man from Scarboro took his seat, and
shouted again when Elias Norwood of Port
land, arose and said that he had served
twenty years apprenticeship with the DEM
ocratic party, and found them rotten to the
core. The Republican party was no better,
and it was time for the laboring men to
break away from both.
The satisfaction with which these speeches
were greeted left no doubt of the sentiment
of the delegates, and it was voted to post
pone indefinitely the consideration OF the
resolutions brought in by the Westbrook del
egation.
This happily settled, M. S. Butterfield Of
Portland, stepped forth. Said he: Three
great evils have scourged humanity" Pri-
vate ownership of land interest on money,
and speculation in trade; they caused the
flood, the overthrow of Pharoah, and have
oyerthrown every failing nation SINCE" The
old gentleman continued with remarks that

BASE BALL.
The New England League.

PORTLANDs, 8; LAwRENCEs, 4.
The Portlands defeated the Lawrences
again yesterday afternoon, this time by
score of nine to four. Hatfield and O'Rourke
were the battery for the home club. The
features of the game were the batting of
Kearns and Shelter, who made hit every
time he went to the bat, the base stealing of
Wheeloek, the second base playing of Kearns
and O'Rourke's catching. Galligan made an
exceptionally difficult catch of long fly ball
from Pettee's bat. For the visitors, the bat
ting of Pettee and the first base play of Cor
man were noticeable.
Donovan will long remember Hatfeld's
swift delivery. He was at the bat and lodged
the wrong way receiving a clip from the
swiftly moving ball. which forced him to re-
tire from the field. His place was taken by
Strouthers. The score follows:

before Governor Hill on the removal of
Commissioner Squire by Mayor Grace was
opened this afternoon. John II. Strahan
and Col. Robert G. Ingersoll appeared for
Squire and Wheeler Il. Peckham for the
people Mr.. StrahaR declared there was no
evidence to support any of the charges
against Squire.
"Rollin NJ. Squire" said Mr.. Strahan,
whatever he may be, has never had Que
cent of the city's money in his pocket but
cutor, William R. Grace, since the time when
100000 found its way through bogus

its way out" :.
Col. Ingersoll also made an argument IN

JOHN G. TALBoT's FRANK CONFESSION.
Machias Republican.
At the Democratic County Convention held
here last Thursday, John G. Talbot, ESQ.,. of
count out fame, was selected as a candi-
date for the office of County Attorney, which
position he firmly declined. Among the rea-
sons for refusal, he said there were laws on
the Statute book of the State which he would
not be party to enforce The inference was
plain and unmistakable that he had refer
ence to the prohibitory laws Of our State;
and the appreciation expressed from the
floor by the Convention plainly showed the
sympathy felt by the members Of the party
in his declaration, and yet that is the party
that Neal Dow and his followers are seeking
to put in power in this State. Every vote
thrown by a third party man, is a vote, to
place in power men who openly declare they
will not be party to enforce law of the
State they do not like.

The State Department has received des-
patches from the United States Consul at
Fiji relating to the curious proceedings Of
his predecessor in the consulate, Samuel E.
Belford, brother of the celebrated Congress
man of Colorado. 1t appears that Repre-

huysen some years ago, and besought him to
assist in disposing of troublesome brother
of his. ''Can't you send him." said he, "'to
some place where the cannibals will eat him
up?" Accordingly Mr.. Frelinghuysen sent
him to Fiji AS soon as he had started on
his way to the islands, Brother Samuel
began making numerous drafts on Congress
