Cancelled Notes Reappearing.

WASHINGTON, D. c., December d.
One or more national bank notes once
redeemed and cancelled, and as sup
posed, destroyed by marceration, have
appeared a second time at the treas
ury department for redemption, and
it has been found that the theft must
have been committed by some person
having the handling of such notes af-
tel their redemption by the department
The lower corners of the notes con-
tanning the names of the bank Off
GERS, are cut off. After counting in the
redemption agency, the notes are then
sent to the office of the comptroller of
currency, where they are counted and
again cancelled by punching and
then taken under lock to the macera-
tor for destruction. With the many
checks OH this money from the time
redeemed, it is very difficult to de-
termine how the theft was accom-
plished as the notes, when finally
counted lack the large corners, which,
as stated, are cut off in the redemp-
tion agency before the notes are sent
to the comptroller, and these it was
necessary to obtain to complete the
notes

PRESS COMMENTS.
Upon the Portland Convention and the
Candidate Nominated.
Bangor Wing.

The republicans of Maine have grandly
inaugurated the campaign of 1888 by the
nomination of Hon. Edwin c. Burleigh for
governor on the first ballot and by an i'm
mense majority, in the largest and finest
convention ever assembled in the State. The
harmony and promptness of the proceedings
have not only disappointed those of our enc
mics who have hoped that the sharp antago-
nisms of rival candidates. would develop
discord, but will inspire the republicans of
the State TO the united and jealous effort that
will make republican victory decisive and
glorious in September.
The remarkable strength of Mr.. Burleigh's
support from all parts of the State. in spite
of the strenuous efforts to weaken it, demon
strates his popularity in the most striking
and positive manner. and affords the ampest
viud,cation of his choice, as the standard
bearer of the coming campaign.
The vote by counties is given in detail in
our Geographic columns, and We will present

tricts to show the distribution of preferences
