The Patriotic Ladies of Bradley.
Bangor Commerclal.]

The ladies of Bradley are taking decided
interest in the management of the town af-
fairs and yesterday, town-meeting day, they
turned out in full force and occupied the gal
lery during the day. listened attentively to
all the business and in practical sort of a
way seconded the action Of their sisters in
Washington Territory, who have already
been given the right Of suffrage. They sery-
ed an excellent dinner during the noon ad-
journment, under the auspices of the Union
Sewing Circle, netting handsome sum of $17,
which they voted to expend in the building
of sidewalk from the bridge in the south
ern part of the town to the cemetery. This
street has always been in poor condition
during the muddy seasons of the Spring and
Fall, and the ladies deserve much praise and
credit for interesting themselves In the mat
ter and should have the willing aid OF the
male portion of the town TO assist them in
accomplishing their object. 1t would seem
that the day was not far distant when when
Maine will recognize the claim which ladies
have in the management of public affairs.

Elbe, Nogat, Vistula and Oder rivers cover a
territory 100 miles wide in many districts,
and an enormous amount of damage has
been done to property. 1t is impossible to
estimate the number of lives lost, but It Will
reach large proportions. While trying to
break an ice gorge on the Elbe by blasting,

was passed calling tor o general convention
on the first day of the July Circuit Court
to select delegates to the State, Congres-

ton for the Judicial Circuit and unani-
mOusly and with great enthusiasm adopted
the following resolutions:
Resolved, That the Democracy Ot Logan
county do hereby cordially endorse and
approve the manly, honest aud patriotic
administration of President Cleveland.
We congratulate our brethren of the Dem
ocratic party and the people generally
that the Democracy has given TO the
country President who, By his brave,
unselish devotion to the principles Of our
government and the interestg of the people
has demonstrated the safety of the govern
ment in Democratic hands and his own
determination to reduce the public burden
to the minimum OF public requirement.,
with justice TO all and injustice TO none.

the action of Hon. John f. Kenns and
extend our thanks to him on his able and
successful yird cation OF our President aud
his administration against the partisan
assaults Of Republican politicians in Con-
gress.
This being the first mestiGg held in the
State during the present year, it IS graft
flying to note the frmnesS of support that
the administration has commanded in the
Democratic stronghold.

when arrived in Charleston last night
were: There's h on the Wabash now"

WASHINGTON, April 4.-The interview
printed in the Cincinnati ERgairer on Sat-

created considerable surprise here among
West Virginia politicians. The opinion is
freely expressed that Sen ,tor Camden was
misquoted. No one cou(i be found who

He is in New York but will be back

is quoted as having talked is so entirely
different from the way I heard him talk
both here and at my room that am not
prepared to put any reliance in the inter

Mr. Faulkner said that he has frequent

tax bill feel that IL they permit
an adjournment the chances for the
passage of the measure at the present
session OF Congress ere very small, while
its opponents, being OF the same opinion,
are putting forward every effort to secure
an adjourpment. 1t is possible, however,
that WEAKNESS will weaken the determine

that some compromise will be affected.
