POLITICAL POINTERS.

The World says the New York Free Trade
Club has challenged the New York Protect
i've League to debate on protection or free
trade, Henry George to represent the free
trade club and Gel Ingersoll the protective
league. The debate will probably take place
in September in New York city.
Hon James G. Blaine will address a re-
Publican meeting at Old Orchard next week,
the date not being yet decided on. He will
also speak in South Berwick the latter part
of the same week.
SO Mr.. Mills thinks that Blaine's speeches
will do the Democrats good, does he Well,
that is undoubtedly true as to some Demo
Gratis. The speeches will convince many of
the rank and lie of that party that their true
interests demand that they act this year with
the Republicans and to convert a Democrat
is certaialy to do him good.-PoytLaud Ez-

FARMISGroN, Aug. 90.
A large audience gathered in Music hall
this evening, and listened to an able address
on the political issues of the day by Col
VIM. c. Plummer of Dakota. The speaker
was introduced by Captain +. l. Merrill, the
chairman of the evening Col. Plummer is
an able and eloquent speaker and his many
telling points were warmly appauded. He
confined his remarks almost wholly to the
tariff question. He made scathng crit
cism of the Mills bill, which he denounced
as sectional in its scope and purposes, and
which if passed vould deal a crushing blow
T, our varied il Iustries. He showed up the
free trade fallacies of the democratic party
in a strong light. The attack upon Names
industries which is made by the Mills BILL
was shown mp in a most convincing manner
The republicans of Pennington are in ex-
cellent fighting trim. A number of voters
here who have hitherto acted with the demo-
cratic party, will vote for Harrison and Nor
ton. There will be good gain in the repub-
lican vote here.

THE pEpARrM sNr OF JUSTICE
Responds to Edmu1d's Resolution OF
Inquiry Regarding New York Mar
shals and Inspectors OF ofElections.

WAsHINGToS. Aug. 20.
The department of Justice today sent to
the Senate in response to Edmund's recent
resolution of inquiry, the correspondence re-
lating to the appointment of deputy marsh
ais and inspectors of election in New York.
Dnrng the election of 1886 and the coming
presidential election it appears that Marshal
McMahon sent estimates for Sl09,920 to
cover the expenses of employing deputies at
each election district for six days. The de-
partment through acting Attorney General
jerks cut down to $40, 100 and allowed but
two deputies at each district and but for five
days, thus covering each four days of regis
tration apd one day at the polls. A letter
from Supervisor Davenport, already pub
lished in which he charges the Attorney Gen
eral with obstructing and endeavoring to
nullify the laws by curtailing the services
of deputy marshals to five days also includ-
ed in correspondence.

Appears In the Mill Of 5. n. AaIcy.


GARDINER, Aug. 20.
About 30 this afternoon flames were seen
rising from the dry house of the s. n. Max
cy Manufacturing Company. The Holmes
Co.'S bell Immediately sounded the alarm
and the Eagle hose company rushed to the
rescue. On account of the repairs going on
at the Winter street bridge they were obliged
to cross the stream at Bridge street, and be-
fore their hose could be adjusted the dry
house and engine room adjoining were in a
bright blaze.
The employees of the Holmes Company
had previously crossed the stream on floating
logs, and were doing good execution with
their private hose. Seven streams were soon
directed upon the burning building and after
flames were subdued. A strong northerly
breeze was blowing at the time and sparks
were carried nearly half mile into the city
setting fire to Preble & Keenes furniture
factory in three places, also to Mr.. Peasley $
store, and several dwelling houses. All,
however, were promptly extinguished.
The fire caught from spark from the mill
engine and was first seen by the engineer.
The lumber and moulding she with its con-
tents and the engine room were totally de-
stroynd. The top of the dry house was
burned off and the lumber within damaged
about ten per cent.
The loss is estimated between SO, 500 and
81 900 1t is insured in the Etna, Hartford.
North American and other companies for
about two thirds of its value. The engine is
damaged very little and the mill will resume
work on Wednesday. Mr.. Ma1cy will re-
build Immediately.
This makes the third time within ten
years that this has caught fire. On the 25Ih
of January, 1884, the main building was
burned to the ground

In his account of the accident at the races,
Saturday, our reporter spoke of Mr.. A. c.
Scribner, as the driver who so courageously
caught the runaway hsrse, Hector, as it was
pouncing down upon him while driving his
own horse. The plucky man who did this
was not Mr.. Scribner. although he would
have been equal to it, but it was Ira Wood
bury, the driver of Spratt in the free-for-all.
Mr.. Woodbury. is a muscular, cool headed
man who has seen much of turf life, and is
not thrown off his bias by any accident he
has yet met. May he be spared them in the
future.

Thompson Esq Secretary of the Bangor
Association, informs us that the organization
is in highly prosperous condition. Since
January lst more than fifteen hundred
shares have been sold, the total number
issued being now about twenty-six hundred,
and the total monthly receipts accordingly
about $500. The prominent business men
of Bangor as well as those of small means
take an actual interest in the affairs of the
association because it not only contributes
to the growth and prosperity of the city,
but at the same time affords an opportunity
for safe and profitable investment. The
Augusta association is in an equally prosper
GUS and encouraging condition.

This finished one of the most important
and closely contested races that was ever
trotted upon the Maine turf. Important,
because placing upon turf annals the fastest
record ever made over Maine course and
closely contested because of the qualities of
the horses and their being so evenly matched
in speed The race was full of business
from start to finish, and in all the heats,
from wire to wire, on the part of each of the
three horses was trotted to vim. They were
all fairly driven. When horse broke his
driver brought him to work as quickly as
possible, and showed no disposition to take
any advantage of the break to gain.
