the Hon. Elliot King of Portland, would address
the meeting at the same place in the evening. The

seen driving into town with a rcd bandanna flying
from the whip. The team contained the speaker

one of the brightest lawyers in Maine and repre-

He expected to have heard the Democratic party
denounced, but he heard Cleveland praised. Mr..
Thompson said that Mr.. Heaths remarks were
remarkable in the fact that he did not make
single alluson to MIR. Burlcgh, the Republican

A Meri,ed Compliment.

10 THE EDITOR OF TIE JorRNAL: The most
significant incident which occurred during the late
Republican County convention was in connection
with the candidacy of Hon. II. Jackson for Sen
ator. do not think Mr. jackson had entertained
a thought Of being candidate until the subject
was suggested To him less than half an hour before
the assembling Of the convention. The order for
printing the ballots for him was not given until The
convention opened, and yet in less than one hours
canvass he secured just 'Sij per cent. of the vote
for senator. The vote very fattering to Mr.
jackson and was such that he has every reason to
be justly proud Of. 1t shows that integrity. ability.
and upright character have more influence among
ones fellow citizens than an extensive canvass

The Fishermen and the Free Trade Adj
ministration.

Congressman Mi!liken secured the passage Of
bill in the House last week which not only re-
minds us of days gone by, but suggests the con.
trast between the way American fishermen
We're regarded by our forefathers and by the
present free trade Democratic party. The bill
referred to provided for the payment to Will.
liam Collins, of Waldo, of fishing bounty due
him - years ago. The claim was once placed
in the care Of Senator Hannibal Hamlin, but
the facts were never fully looked up and present.
ed. This Mr.. Milliken has done and at last Sc
cured the passage of a bill to pay the claim.
In the early days of the government our
forefathers recognized the national importance
OF sustaining and encouraging the fishing in
dustry as a nursery for manning our navies.
They were not disappointed in the result, for
there has not been great naval victory for
ermen of New England have not she'd their
blood and rendered manly service. To-day the
fishermen whom the founders of our govern
ment deemed it so important to encourage in
their perilous pursuit, are surrendered to the
mercy of neighboring province, which con-
tinually annoys and abuses them, and insults
our liag, and they are plainly told, in a coward
ly. infamous treaty secured by negotiators APP
pointed by the present administration, that UNI
less the Canadians shall he allowed to import
into our markets free fish and so destroy their
industry, they must take care of themselves
while there is not even pretence of enforcing
law of Congress which provides for their
protection. How humiliating is the contrast
between the old days Of patriotism and the
new days OF Democratic free trade and Cleve-

surviving comrades. We therefore condemn in
emphatic terms the hostile attitude of the present
Administration towards the veteran soldiers of
the Union.
Resolved, That in the election now pending with
clean ticket in the Nation In the State and in the
county, and with vital issues, namely protection
TO American productions, home market, and well
PAD and con;ented wOrkmen, we enter upon the
contest with courage and appeal to every patriotic
citizen to aid us in bringing about old fashion
ed Republican victory.
Resolved, that we renew our allegiance to the
noble principles of prohibition long and reso-
lutely maintained by the Republicans of Maine
against all its enemies.
Resolved, That our thanks are due and are here
by rendered to the chairman of this convention for
