MR.. BuRLElcH AT HOME.
Enthusiastic Augusta Citizens Ten
der Their Congratulations.

The members Of the different county dele
cations, Young Mems Republican Club and
citizens, stopped at Augusta, Tuesday eve
ming. and marched to the residence OF Hon.
K. G. Burlelgh. The band played several
selections. Mr.. Burleigh appeared on the
front steps Of his residence, and was greeted
with cheers for "Hon. e. 9. Burlelgh. our
next governor" Mayor MacOmber intro
duced Mr.. Burleigh, who spoke as follows:
Fellow citizens, Republicans am glad to see
you and listen 10 your kind greeting, coming as
you do from the convention whose duty was TO
Is to receive the support Of the Republican party
az the approaching September election. 1 thank
aWaTted me- II apDrecIate @ the honor wo which nc Sas
been conferred on me by your action.
IL VIII be my aim % prove myself worthy Of
your choice as the candidate of the Republican
party of Maine. You have the right to consider
me as your servant. You fully appreciate that
the Republican party exists for an Important and
the advocacy and enforcement OF principles
which we deem Of vital importance &c Maine and
TO the entire Union. The resolutions which you
have today indorsed In the convention clearly ex-
press the issues which are TO be contested In the
You and accept them, fuzzy and sincerely. We
accept In good faith the nxed policy OF the State
in respect to the prohibition Of the liquor trafc
and maintain IL 10 be Republican duty TO pro-
tect our homes and hresldes against the terrible
evil OF lntemperance. We accept In good faith
and with all the warmth Of the patriotism Of
for American labor and American products, and
will oppose to the utmost OF our influence te
notions Of free trade advocated by the Democratic
party as expressed In the message Of President
Cleveland, In the Mills bill, and as endorsed BY
the National Democratic convention at St Louis
last week.
Fellow Republicans an exciting and highly i'm
portant campaign Is Immediately before us. The
Maine elec Ion In September viii have a large
significance throughout the country. Rhode Is
land spoke well In April. Oregon has Just ex-
pressed herself IN language more cheering than
she ever uttered before. These are two decisive
indications Of the condition OF public sentiment In
the extreme East and the farthest West.
Let the Republicans Of Maine at once close up
their ranks. At no distant day our great leader
will come home TO US from beyond the sea and
his presence and voice among us will be more
than a power Of strength; they viii inspire union,
courage and enthusiasm and be the sure omen OF
splendid victory.
The large assemblage was invited into the
house and shook hands with the nominee for
Governor. The procession reformed and
marched through the Illuminated streets to
the residence Of Chairman Manley, Of the
State committee.
Mr.. Manley addressed the assemblage In
ringing speech, rejoicing with them over the
result Of the convention, and predicting a
splendid victory In November. with an old
fashioned Republican majority.

BLAINE FEELING AT CHICAGO.
Preside. .>tIal Probabilities as Seen In
the conve..tlo City.

CHICAGO, June 13.-There is a s..."neiy
defined Blaine feeling among the delegates
arrived to attend the national Republican
convention, His supporters say he would
have no right to refuse to serve if nominated.
There is also great activity at the Gresham
headquarters. A register was kept open,
and every Gresham man who dropped in
put down his name. A good round number
from Indiana, and many former residents of
New York, held a meeting in the Gresham
organized themselves into committee to re-
ceive the New York delegation with all the
hospitality the city could extend, and at the
same time, in the interest of Gresham, they
decided to call upon all former New Workers
now residents Of Chicago, to get their active
cooperation. Gen. Alger will be nominated
in the convention by Col. Robert T. Frazer,
of Detroit,

The Industrial School.

lcptclal 10 tnt Trcssl
HoLLowELL, June 14.-The quarterly
meeting of the managers of the Industrial
School for Girls was held today, the fol-
lowing being in attendance: Gov. Sidney
Perham, Hon. Moses Giddings, Bangor
Maj. E. Rowell, Judge ii. X. Baker, Hol-
lowell; Sarah NJ. Ware, Waterville; Mrs. s.
G. Sargent, Augusta. Routine business was
transacted for the most part. The superin-
tendent and the matrons offered their quar-
terly reports. Owing to an inadvertancy the
appropriation forth school made by tn e
last Legislature was much less than intend
cd, but the funds have held out thus far.
When they are exhausted it does not appear
what course will be persued. Gov. Bodwell
said when he was alive that sufficient mon
ey should be forthcoming to make up the
deficiency in the appropriation if he had to
furnish it from his own pocket. The num-
Der of inmates continues about 80 in each
building.

HaIstead on the Ground.

CHICAGO, June 13.-Murat Halstead ar
rived today to look after Sherman's inter-
ests. He said: "Ohio is for Sherman.
Sherman has already large vote assured,
more than 300, and he will grow. Blaine is
out of the race for good. Tom Platt is doing
all in his power to turn the New York dele
cation to Alger, end may succeed If Depew
is not in the field. Depew could carry New
York but might lose Kansas and Iowa. Har-
rison and Phelps are a strong conblnatlon
and will receive attention. IL Gresham was
nominated he would have to resign from the
bench and that would give Cleveland an OPP
portnnity TO put in some old Democrat to
preside over Illinois, Indiana and Wiseon-
SIN. That won't do. The Gresham boom
reminds me of the manner in which we ran

not help Bristow but we beat Blaine and

CHICAGO, June 13.-Chairman Jones ar
rived today. Being interviewed in regard to
the rumor that he had letter from Mr..
Blaine expressing the latter's preference as
to Republican presidential nominee. he
denied he had received any letter of poll
tical nature since Mr.. Blaine wrote from
Florence. Mr.. Blaine has not intimated that
he would not accept the nomination though
rendered him unanimously. The interview
made two points measurably clear: that
new letter from Mr.. Blaine was not forth
coming and that, in the contingency of the
convention rendering Blaine the nomination,
the delegates would have to look beyond
Chairman Jones to learn the results.

portion to the natural increase of in- habitants and business. The stability of the state progress is amply attested by many enterprises and other im- provements projected and pushed for ward on all sides by shrewd capital ists, whose experience and wisdom are strong evidence that their plans are not visionary and that the future is full of promise. Material advance ment for the next ten years will un- doubtedly be greater than during any past decade, and it is safe to predict that property will never again be cheaper than now. The present is un- questionably propitious, and money promptly invested in well selected real estate, whether in large or small amounts, cannot fail to yield hand- some return, while it's owner may rest in secure possession of that which thieves cannot steal, and which never can be made the shuttlecock of stock exchange.
