ize the incorporation of national trade un-
ions 1t provides that the term national

signify any association of working people
having two or more branches in the United

Mr. Patrick Ford, Nelu York:
received your remittance of e500 for the
relief of the distressed people of Ireland, and
will leave for the Islands of the west coast
tomorrow to investigate and report upon
the present condition of the famine stricken

The Next Governor OF Maine Receives
the Congratulations Of His Friends
and Neighbors.

AUGUSTA, Me-, Jnne 9-The Republicans
of Hallowell, together with VISITORS ten
dered Hon. J. R. Bodwell, the nominee of
the Republican Convention for Governor,
a congratulatory ovation at his home this
evening. A procession consisting of a band
200 of Mr.. Bodwell's stonecutters and quar-
rymen, returned delegates citizens, and $50
school children, formed and proceeded to his
residence on Middle street. DR.. w. S.
Thompson was master of ceremonies, and
Walter F. Marston delivered happy ad-
dress, congratulating Mr.. Bodwell on his
nomination. He characterized him as the
friend of the laboring man and gentleman
who had the confidence and esteem of his
fellow citizens. Mr. Bodwell responded
briefly. The coming of the people gave him
special qualification and confidence in their
good will, for he saw many who had spent
years in his employ. He deemed the nom
ination all the more a high compliment as it
had come to him without any effort on his
part to secure it. He could but accept the
honor rendered him so generously.
Hon. S. w. Matthews of Caribou, and A.
NJ. Spear, Esq, of Gardiner, also spoke
briefly. Mr.. Bodwell at the close received
his employees, friends and neighbors, taking
each one by the hand.
In the afternoon, when the nomination was
received, the Hallowell Republicans run out
a Bodwell and Milliken flag and fired a
salute
The Portland daily press., 1886-06-10
The convention then proceeded to ballot
with the following result:
And by counties as follows

Hannibal Hamlin, l.
The announcement of the result was
received with unbounded enthusiasm. As
soon as the applause had subsidized Mr..
Lewis A. Barker, who had presented
the name of Dr. Hamlin, mounted
chair and moved to make the nomina-
tion unanimous. He said he and the
delegates who stood with him had done their
best to nominate, but they accepted the deci-
sion of the convention, land they anditheirlcan-
didate would work from this day forth heart
lily for the election of the nominee of the con-
vention. There would be no hanging back:
they would take off their coats and go to
work and he promised that Penobscot coun~
ty would roll up the largest majority for Mr..
BodWell that the county had ever given for a
Republican candidate.
More cheers and applause followed Mr..
Barker's speech, and the convention took a
recess until o'lock.
The convention was called to order again
at245 o'clock, when the committee on resO
lutions reported through the Hon. David N.
Mortland Of Rocliand as follows:
THE PLATFORM.
Resolved That the Republicans Of Maine, re-
SponSlDle with single years exception, IOr lne
government of the State for the past thirty years,
point with pride to the steady advance in the pros
perity of all classes of our people, and they here
by proclaim with confidence the principles to
which they adhere, on national and State issues.
Resolved, That the distractions of the free
trade theorists are not adapted to the industrial
wants of this country, and that the protection OF
American labor is the true political economy of
the American people as long as they are Obliged
to compete with the manufacturers and Ill paid
labor of the old world. We call the especial at
tention of all working men to the fact that wages
in the United States under a protective tariff are
from 8 to 80 per cent higher than under the rev.
enue tariff in force before the Republicans came
into power in 1S61-wages at both periods being
counted on the gold basis in money, or reckoned
in comparison with the commodities necessary
for living
Resolved, That the Morrison tariff bill reported
from a Democratic committee of ways and means
and supported by the great body OF the Democrat
ic members of Congress. aims with apparently
special mavelolence to injure the material inter
ests of Maine BY its provisions all the manufac-
lures of Maine are deprived of a protective duty;
the farm products of Canada are TO be admitted
to free competition with the farm products OF
Maine; the lumber of Canada to free competition
with the lumber of Maine; the fishermen OF Nova
Scotia put a better basis than the fishermen
of Maine; and as a fitting climax the shipbuilding

The spirit of improvement has surely
taken firm hold here. The large glass
front stores on Main street seem to vie
with each other in point of attractive
ness. Two of recent completion are oc-
cupied by Mrs. Lucy Litzenberg and
VIM. ]. Alrich,-the former as millin-
cry and dress-making emporium, while
the latter represents the jewelry interests
of the town. The townpeople certainly
have cause to feel justify proud of these
places. Marked architectural improve
ment is noticeable among the new
dwellings of recent erection. The East
End leads in point Of general attractions.
We need new Court House. The
opinion Of the knowing ones is that one
will be erected on the sight of the old
one soon. II seems almost against the
wishes Of the old residents that such Il
historic pile should succumb to the
whims of progress. But you know we
all differ on every subject. Although
we do not revel under the glare of cleo
trio lights, yet we are far ahead of gaso-
line which seems to be the nearest APP
proach to gas that your town has.
The colored population here have not
thrown away the deadly razor. One
Freeman, alias Monk" slashed the
face of another ebony-hued boy on
Sunday evening. Monk" was arrested
and taken before Squire Scott Monday
evening. Evidence pointed so hard
against Monk" that the good Justice
held him in $500 bail for his appearance
at September court. As it now stands,
monks" chances to ride a runner at
the fall fair of the Cecil Agricultural So
ciety looks decidedly slim.
Politics quiet. Still there may be an
outbread at any time. There are numer-
GUS factions with ardent supporters, and
when they sit about unfolding or break
ing down certain individuals, the racket
they create is extremely lively. Some of
the fortunate ones have found favor with
Governor Groome, and will make the
Monumental City their habitation for a
while at least.
Freaks are becoming mores numerous.
This week early we had a specimen of
this class, that was known as a man-bear.
In some ways the monstrosity resembled
that species of animal whose hug is I'M
comfortably strong.
Weather-all kinds.

Indictment weather materially inter-
fered with the interests of the Pink Tea
last Friday evening. Notwithstanding
this, 1t was attended with financial sue
cess. and to greater degree, with success
in the quality Of amusement afforded.
About nine o'clock, when ice cream, cake,
ETC., had temporarily lost their charm,
taking advantage Of the air of expectancy
which seemed to prevail, the famous
Peak Sisters" charming, modest, yet
lonely, with their church-spire hats, their
band-boxes and their umbrellas, filed in,
looking none the worse for their extern
sive travels, and, after stacking band
boxes, were introduced to the audience
in turn, that is to say, alphabetically, by
their able manager, Jerushy. In the
words of Longfellow,
There is no Preside, howsoe'er defended,
But has one vacant chair"
And the Peakses formed no exception.
"Betsey," the youngest of the family,
mot used to travelin'," had forgotten her
bandbox and had been left behind, but
in the midst of the heart rending chorus,
20, where can our Betsey be?" Betsey
appeared, provided with huge bag of
peanuts, and the two-Betsey and the
peanut bag-received an afTectionate
welcome. The programme was contin-
ued through several popular selections,
interspersed with explanations by
"Jerushy." The most laughable parts of
the Peakses' entertainment were the
impromptu interludes on the combs,
"fhe Last Cake of Supper" by one of
the twins, and Poor Old Maids" solo
by "Arminty," assisted by full chorus.
After the performance was closed, the
troupe left "for New Jersey" where we
discovered them eating ice cream, their
usual terms for appearance. The pink
tea was repeated on Saturday evening,
minus the Peak Sisters.
We have been informed that the net
amount was $40

Milford is preparing for Decoration
Day on very elaborate scale.
A new kaolin pit is being opened ON
the farm of John Mitchell at Hockessin.
Lightning struck a shed early on last
Thursday morning on the premises of
Mrs. William ]. Bennett, near Chester
Bridge in Queen Anne coun ty, and pass
ed through a barrack of cornfodder,
without setting fire to it, but killed a
pair of mules in their stalls below.
Two KINDS OF GIR1s.-One is the kind
that appears best abroad-the girls that
are good at parties, rides, visits, balls, etc.,
and whose chief delight is in such things.
The other is the kind that appears best
at home-the kind that are useful and
and cheerful in the dining-room, sick
room and all the precincts of home.
They differ widely in character. One is
often torment at home, the other a
blessing; one is a moth, consuming
everything about her; the other is a
sunbeam, inspiring light and gladness all
around her pathway. To which of these
classes do you belong ?-Home Visitor.
Fried bananas with sauce of Catawba
wine are said to be delicious" -7rans-

We do not know many editors who
can indulge in such a dish. 1t is too
rich for our blood.
On Tuesday, John Oldfeld and Joseph
Hunter while putting up a pale fence
around the Catholic Cemetery, dug up
the body of a child, which had been bur-
led in pile of rubbish and dirt. The
child had evidently been buried some
time, and the general belief among those
that saw the child, that it had been born
alive.-DeIdwarean.
More trouble in the peach orchards.
The AdUerteser of Milford says: Several
young peach orchards near town have
been attacked by half-inch, dark-color-
ed worm, which eats out the ends of the
young shoots. Though it damages the
trees, they are all the time putting out
new shoots and the injury is not serious.
THE North East Star will come out this
week as the Cecil Star, be printed on a
power press, and a new dress of type.
Glad to hear this, Brother Carey. May
you ever prosper, and shed your light
among many people.

On Monday M. r. I. Cochran, Esq, oil
Middletown, Del, dined with Geo. W
Lindsey, Esq, cashier of Newark Ma.
tional Bank. Mr.. Cochran reports that
the prospect for good crop of peaches
around Middletown and in Kent County,
Md, is very hattering. The farmers are
through corn planting, and the wheat is
looking very well, and the harvest will
be an abundant one, and the farmers are
happy.

A concert was given last Monday even
ing at the house of Mr.. Samuel Lindsay,
at McClellandville, by local musicians,
for the benefit of a carpet fund of the
White Clay Creek Presbyterian Church.
The spacious parlors and Railways were
completely filled by an appreciative au-
dience, many of whom came long dis
tances for the evenings entertainment.
Among those present, we noticed a num-
Der of well-known society people of
Newark and Elkton. The program of
the evening comprised brilliant selec-
ton of classical music, and was rendered
faultlessly. Ifany thing might be criti-
cised with respect to the selections, it
would be their uniformly classical char
acter. A sprinkling of familiar and pop
ular pieces makes a concert always more
enjoyable We think, and especially so to
a mixed assemblage including many I'M
educated to the harmonic intricacies of
''the masters" We would not convey
the impression, however, that all the Sc
lections were heavy.
We very much regret our inability to
