The Bath Daily Times says: .'Mr.
Bodwell is a republican and all that the
wo,d implies. Clean in character. strong
in intellect. a self made man: where will
you find in the ranks of our party more
thoroughly representative candidate.
While the natural dignity and modesty of
the man preclude the possibility OF his
using any measures to secure the nomina-
ton. while he makes no canvass in his
own behalf but leaves the matter to the
wise Judgment of his fellow republicans,
his position is an honorable and strong
one in this, he prefers the office should
seek the man. We indulge the hope that
tho State Convention will ensure the repub-
lcan ticket rousng old fashioned major
ity by placing at its head, so clean. strong
and popular candidate as Hon. J. r.

for any sign from the administration. ex-
cept the receiving OF one dispatch which
was followed the same day by another
contradicting the first; leaving those who
asked for information in greater doubt and
difficulty than they were before seeking
instruction and advice.
The explanation of the strange conduct
of Secretary Bayard in this affair is that
he is so under the influence of the British
Minister at Washington. that he is
willing to allow that individual
to manage the American as we'll as the
British side of the case. and to treat the
fishermen of New England as if they had
no rights which our government is bound
to respect. Their vessels have been
seized, their rights have been trampled
upon as it appears, they have demonstrated
and pettioned, and yet not word has
been heard from President or Cabinet to
indicate that the government takes the
slightest interest in their concerns. Con-
gTcco Ids tdhCu uP bhO oNcJNS
promptness, our senators and representa-
tives from Maine have presented the case
IN both branches and secured some legis-
lation looking to correction OF injuries
which have already resulted and a settle
ment of questions in dispute, but the ad-
ministration is interested in the distribu-
ton of the various post-offices and other
offices which it has to parcel out, and has
no time to spare for the hardy fishermen
of Maine and Massachusetts, and appar-
emily is willing to turn them over to the
tender mercies of the British Minister and
the Dominion officials.
But the storm is rising, and if we mis-
take not Secretary Bayard will be reused
from his inertness before many days.
There is strong suspicion that if these
fishing troubles affected the interests OF
Southern States, Mr.. Bayard would feel
more concern about them. Be that as it
may, New England will assert her just
rights and maintain them as far as she has
the power to do.

ADVENTURES AND rRANsGREssIoNs or

Geronimos capture is causing a good
deal OF comment in Washington. When the
confirmation of the report reached Indian
commissioner Atkins, he said:
There has been no such warrior as Geron-
imo since the days CT Rob Roy. lie has
subsisted on the roots of the desert and the

heroism and endurance are unsurpassed by
anything in history. There are a good

bucks. eight boys aud ninety-one women.
They travelled 100 miles before camping,
and their pursuers were hot upon their
tracks, but they didn't get in sight Of the
indians. For hundreds Of miles this chase
