PARIS, Oct. 70.
General Boulanger was present in the

Belron Sonbran stated that the enormous

NEW YORK POLITICS.
The Solid Rum Vote Driving Third Party
! Men Into the Republican Party.

NEW YORK, Oct. %.
1t has been shown by careful polling of
every school district in this state that the
national ticket will be elected by a large
majority. The result has been determined
by thorough and exhaustive canvass of
every voter. Unless some sudden change
occurs, there is no reason to doubt that the
electoral vote of the state will be given for
Harrison.
This happy condition of affairs has OF
caused the republican campaign managers to
lessen their efforts or to be less watchful
than heretofore. They know they have an
INSCRIPTIONS foe to deal with, led by men
who know every phase of political trickery
and are not at all backward in using this
knowledge when their party's success de-
mands ii.
At the great temperance meeting held in
the Brooklyn Rink ON Saturday evening,
which endorsed the candidacy of the repub-
hcan candidate for governor Warner Miller
and expressed its preference for the republi-
can National ticket the list of officers showed
the names of several who have heretofore
voted the prohibition ticket, and of some who
have always voted the democratic ticket.
Both these classes refused to aid in the re-
election of Gov Hill because of his saloon
enthusiastic for Warner Miller. Secretary
Mitchell reports that he has obtained the
names of number of third party prohib-
tionists who are averse to supporting the
candidate of that party for governor because
it will practically aid the reelection of Gov.
Hill and be saloon victory making GER
tain for three years the defeat of all tenn
perance legislation.
While they still claim to be members of
that party, they clearly see that Warner
Miller's active anti-rum canvass has solidi-
fed the saloon vote for Gov. Hill, and under
the circumstances they see the folly and alb
surdity of aiding his election, while yet pre-
tending to be temperance men.
This is a fair indication of ex-senator
Miller's vigorous championship of temper
ance measures. When the liquor vote goes
all one way they feel that it is time for the
moral and temperance votes to unite and go
solidly the other way. These facts indicate
a great falling off of the prohibition party
vote in this State.

Dignity at Par.

LOWELL, Oct 70.
A very distinguished citizen of Lowell
qualified last evening to exercise his consti-
tutional prerogatiye at the polls in Novem-
Der. He was driven to City Hall behind "A
handsome pair of brown horses, guided by a
stalwart colored man, and, having been led
to the registrars room, held up his right
hand and was sworn. Then the registrar
asked "W bat is your name sirl" "Benja-
min +. Butler"
did you vote in Lowell last year, Mr..
Butlerl" II think did"
Where were you born?" AT Deertield,
N. H."
Nv here have YOU lived the past year,
Where | have lived for 80 years past
How old are you?" Seventy years"
These formalities were gone through with
as gravely as though the general was per-
feet stranger. When the ceremony was
concluded, the general, shaking with merri-
ment, WAS conducted back to his carriage
and driven to his home. His name was
dropped from the list for the nonpayment of
taxes of 1887.

MAINE DISPATCHES.
THE 3. & p. RAILROAD.
CItizens of Bangor Considering Propo-
sitions for Purchasing 1t.

BANGOR, Oct. %.
citizens meeting was held tonight under
u call of the city government to near and
consider propositions for the sale of the
Bangor and Piscataquis Railroad, made by
the Castine & Railroad Co. and by Frank
Jones. Mayor Bragg presided and briefly
reviewed the history of the Piseataquis X.
r, BaDgor's connection with it and interest
therein, and the present financial condi-
ton and probable future prospects.
President Neatly was the next speaker and
he presented a more detailed account of the
road, which showed an annual increase in
business and net earnings and the large bust
ness which has been built up by the road
with fattering prospects for the future, and
opposed the sale of the road. He did not
think that Jones proposition gave Bangor
an assurance of protection to its CONNIE rcial
interest, nor necessary assurance that she
would receive the benefits to which she is
entitled under its connection with the through
line.
Hon. A. w. Paine, the next speaker, told
of the establishment of a great line of com
munication to the west and east. by the build
ing of the Canadian Pacific, and that between
it and the Maine Central the value of the
Piscataquis road was greatly reduced.
c. A. Bailey, Esq, then spoke in behalf
of the proposition of the Castine & Bangor
railroad company, arguing that through it
Bangor would have competing lines by there
being an open port at Castine all the year
round, through which to receive and deliver
goods. The Bangor & Castine Company
were prepared to show their ability TO carry
out their proposition in the assurances that
the city government would accept it when
their ability was shown.
Hon. j. 5. Wheelwright offered resolu-
ton that the whole matter be referred to a
committee of citizens, whose names were
given, to act in conjunction with a commit
tee of the city government, to carefully ex-
anime the matter in all its details, and report
at a future meeting.
Col. J. W. Porter moved a resolutonas a
substitute making a joint committee from
the board OF aldermen aud common council,
the Bangor < Piscataquis railroad company
and the citizens.
On these resolutions a discussion followed
and Hon. &. W. Ladd moved that the whole
matter be laid on the table, which car
ried unanimously. The meeting then adj
journed without day.

There is deplorable apathy in South

are, leading democrats say that the State
will give Cleveland thirty or forty thousand
majority, yet they must know that if their
neighbors are samples of the democratic
party in general, the State will give the
democratic candidates for President and
vice President painfully small majority, or
none at all.-Charieston News and Courier.
