NAMES GRAND RECORD.
TWENTY THOUSAND MAJORITY FOR
THE PARTY OF PROTECTION.

THE PARTY OF PROTECTION.
PORTLAND, Me, Sept TO-
Maine has gone Republican by one
of the largest majorities the old
state has ever given that party.
The biennial election to-day was
for a governor, four congressman,
81 state senators, and 15l state rep
re9entatives, as we'll as county ofli-
GERS in sixteen counties. The last
legislature stood: Senators-Repub-
licans, 81: Democrats, 4. Represen'
tatives-Republicans, 122; Demo
Gratis, %; Prohibition, l.
The Republican congressman
we're all candidates for reelection
and all but one district, the First,
was considered Republican without
question. In the First district
strong contest was made, VIM. EN-
cry of Alfred, being the Demo
cratic nominee against Thomas b.
Reed, whom the Democrats hoped
to defeat.
There we're four candidates for
covernor in the field-Edwin O.
Burleigh, of Bangor, late state
treasurer (Republican): Wm' Il.
Putnam, OF Portland, late Fishery
treaty commissioner (Democrat);
Volney b. Gushing, of Bangor
(ProhibitionisD, and w. ii. Sim
mons, of Rockland (Labor). The
vote for each party in 1886 stood:
Republican, GS,991; Democratic,
%, ,2S0; Prohibition, 3,S6S, and scat.
tering %. Comparisons are made
with the vote of 1886, concluding
with a comparison with the vote OF
1881.
Androscoggin county elects the
! full Republican ticket. In Knox
county the Republicans probably
elect all county officers except reg
lister of probate. In Washington
county the Republicans elect all
their county officers by twelve hun

This is a Cow.
Small Girl in Hartford Time

A COW is an animal with four
legs on the under side. The tall is
longer than the legs, but 1t is not
used to stand on. The COW kills
flies with her tail. A COW has big
ears that wriggles on hinges; 80
does her tail. The COW is bigger
than the calf, but not 80 big as an
elephant. She IS made 80 small
that she can 20 into the barn when
nobody is looking. Some cows are
black and some hook. A dog was
hooked once. She tossed the dog
that worried the cat that killed
the rat. Black cows give white
milk ; so do other cows. Milkmen
dell milk to buy their little girls
sre sses, which they put water 10
and chalk. Cows chew cuds and
each finds its own chew. That is
all there is about COWS.

LETTERS.

Such little thing-a letter,
Yet 80 much it may contain;
Written thoughts and mute expressions
Full of pleasure, fraught with pain.
When our hearts are sad at parting,
Comes a CLEAN of comfort bright
In the mutual promises given;
1--WE will not forget TO write"
Plans and doings of the absent,
Scraps of news we like to hear,
All remind US, cen though distant,
Kind remem brance keeps us near.
Yet sometimes single letter
Turns the sunshine into shade;
Chills our efforts, clouds our prospects,
Blights our hopes and makes them fade
Messengers Of joy or sorrow,
Life or death, success, despair,
Bearers of affections wishes,
Greeting kind of loving prayer.
Prayer of greeting, were we present,
Would be felt but half unsaid,
We can write, because our letters
Not our faces-will be read.
Who has not some treasured letters,
Fragments choice of others lives;
Relics, some, Of friends departed,
Friends whose memory still suryiyesi
Touched by neither time nor distance,
will their words unspoken last;
Volceless whispers of the present,
Silent echoes Of the past

A Great Flood.

AUGUSTA, GA, Sept. 1O.-The
Savannah river has flooded the
city. Heavy rains have brought
the river up to the highest register
since 1940. The water rose rapidly
and at 8 o'clock P. NJ, is still rising,
having stopped the cotton factories
in the western end of the city, and
Transforming the business and resi-
deRce portion into islands. Broad
street, four miles long, is in a fair
boating condition. Currents are
running through cross streets from
Broad TO Green. Stores are flood
ed from one TO two feet, but the
merchants generally have moved
their goods to shelves and counters
Many persons are sitting tonight
at their doors watching the tawny
tide. Wires are down in many di
rectlons, and not O single train will
leave the city tonight. The belief
is general that the highest point
has been reached.
In the upper and outer edge Of
the city the suffering among fami
lies IN the lOw.built houses will be
considerable, but steps will soon be
taken to relieve them. One man
is reported dead from fright, and
an old cOIOred flshmOnger was
drowned today on Ellis street,
The buildings of the great national
exposition, to open here next month
are high, dry and undamaged, and
work on them is uninterrupted.

although warning was given it was
impossible toavert the collision. The
locomotive of the freight plunged
into the rear coach of the special
wrecking four cars, two of them be
ing completely demolished.
The excursionlsts had notice OF
the impending danger, and all sue
ceeded in getting out of the cars
before the crash came, but as they
! hurried down the embankment the
wrecked coaches rolled down upon
them, killing tour persons outright
and injuring % others.

of that city Miss Weston.

"No, slr,7 said Dick demurely.
"Glad of it. Thought you'd take
a sensible view of the thing in

"I agree with you, sir" said the
doctor.
"If you could find suitable girl

solemnly, "what is your objection

This was too much. The old
gentleman vas speechless, and his
wife, scarcely less agitated than
himself, shrieked to Miranda for
water.
A few gulps restored him to
speech, and the first use he made
of that faculty was to order his son
to quit the house.

The mother, her first astonish-
ment subsiding, was easily reconcil-
ed to the state of things, and in
her heart secretly approved the
young couples proceedings. Per-
haps also, in his secret heart, her
husband did the same, though he

his wife upon him in his own house

CHICAGO, April 15.-In the presence
of hundreds of people on the busiest
thoroughfare in Chicago, Simon Rosen-
field, travelling salesman, stabbed him
self to the heart yesterday afternoon
and fell to the sidewalk dead.
State street, near Washington, the
center of the fashionable shopping
district was the scene of the tragedy.
Pavements and sidewalks for square
in any direction were blockaded almost
in a moment by crowds of excited and
curious people, the majority Of them
ladies. 1t was with dsfficulty that a
lane was made through which the
CHASTITY cospSe could be removed. A
common pocket knife was Rosenfield's
weapon. He was walking with two young
men,. friends of his, neither OF whom
suspected the suicides intention or
knew the cause of the act. A pawn
ticket for an overcoat was all that the
dead mans purse contained. In his
breast pocket were three letters. One
was from lawyer, stating he had in
formation that Rosenfield ought to
know. The second was addressed to
s'Friend Maudie," asking her to come
to Chicago and live with him. The
third letter was from RoSenfield's sister
in Detroit, expressing the hope that her
brother had given up THAT awful habit,

Last year many of the Minnesota horse
men thought they would play smart, ana
so went down to Iowa, where they could
have soft thing picking up large
purses. They took it for granted that
there would be but few entries down
there, and all that they had to do was to
go down and scoop in all the purses.
They left the Minnesota races because
they thought they could make
more money in Iowa. When they
got down there they found that the
entries all through the circuit were
exceptionally large, and were compelled
to trot against from six to eight horses,
and good ones, too, in each race. The
result was that that they got
almost nothing, but they said
they found, when the circuit was
over, that the walking up through
Iowa and Southern Minnesota was very
good, and on the whole rather pleasant.
The meeting that is given here on tne
Sd. 4th, 5th and 9th of July offers S2O,O
in purses ranging from $1,000 to 81, 900
each. with $1,000 reserved for specials.
These are liberal purses, and save the
expenses of travelling. 1t should be
borne in mind that the nominations to
all classes close tomorrow, Monday,
April 16. Up to this time the lumber
of entries has not been what was eX-
pected, and the officers have had some
fears that some of the classes would not
fill. All horsemen in the state should
remember that to-day is the last day
they have to complete their entries. The
terms of entry are as usual, with a di-
vision of so, 25, Is and 10 per cent of the
purse. Address d. w. WoodmanSee,

Trotting-horse breeders in the states

The stakes which will be trotted at the

is $40, S. payable on April IA, S. on June
