Hats were thrown in the air, red bandanas
waved from thousand hands, and white
and gray hats were frantically thrust upon
the points OF canes and wavered until the
owners became exhausted Some one on the
stage crowned the bust of the president on
the left of the chairman with laurel wreath,
which was the signal for even wilder burst
of shouts and cheers than before.
Twenty minutes passed and the record of
the cheering that succeeded the presentation
of Grover Cleveland's name at Chicago in
1884 had been broken. AT the end of twen-
ty-two minutes the chairman raped vigor-
ously for order, and it was hardly restored
when again the enthusiasm broke out, and it
was not until 1855, when the applause had
lasted just twenty-four minutes, that the
tumult came to an end.
Judge Twiggs, Of Georgia, seconded the
nomination. The rules were suspended and
Grover Cleveland unanimously renominated
for president Of the United States.
After the convention had been nearly four
hears in continuous session, a motion to adj
journ was carried, and the gavel fell and
closed the days proceedings.

PULPIT AND PLATFORM.
NEW JERUSALEM TEMPLE.


The fourth Sunday evening lecture in the
Denominational series at the New Jerusa-
lem church was delivered last night by the
Rev. Howard G. Durham of this city. His
topic was the Divine, Beautiful and Ration
al Standard OF the New Christianity"
OF the second coming of the Lord, the
speaker, interpreting the language of the
scripture according to the doctrine of the
New Church, said:
"The symbolism points to an inward coming
of Divine truth rather than an outward per-
sonal coming to the external senses. The
prophecies of the Lords first advent were
not fulfilled to the letter. Is it reasonable to
expect that the predictions concerning his
second coming will have a literal fulfllment?
The very existence of the Christian church
rests upon spiritual and symbolic inter pre-
tation of the Old Testament prophecies con-
corning the coming of the Messiah"
As to the place occupied by Emanuel Swed-
enborg to the New Church, tae speaker said
that New Church people make less of
Swedenborg than do the .Lutherans of
Luther, the Calvinists of Calvin or the Meth
odists Of Wesley. 1.-THE New Church." he
said, lis founded upon the Lord and the di-
vine truth OF the Holy Word. The doctrines
Vi Tue new CHufcn are W Dt dcctpteu OF re-
jected solely with reference to their agree
ment or disagreement with Holy Scripture,
with sound reason and with human expert
ence."

At the First Parish Church yesterday

FANcHoN.


The familiar Fanchon. with Maggie Mitch

large and interested audiences, as was evil
denced at Portland Theatre Saturday night.
The sterling actress was as full of fun and
pathos as ever and was warmly applauded.
Her support was very good.

The great company of Rice & Dixey will
pack Portland Theatre on the last three even

GLORIOUS GETTYSBURG.
The meeting ON the battlefield last July of
the men of the Philadelphia Brigade and
those of Picketts Division, was only one of
the many instances that causes the popular
interest in the glorious fight to still continue,
increase, and become even greater than it is
If that were possible, and we are barely well
over the meeting of last July when we hear
the notes of preparation for next years gath
ering of the veterans of both armies on the
historic field Next summer will be the
twenty-fifth anniversary of the fight and no
doubt will be to the survivors the most inter-
esting of all that have taken place. When
another quarter of a century shall have
passed away how few of those who particle
pated in the fight will be with us to visit the
field and fight the battle over again. General
Meade, the superb Hancock, and host of
noble souls have already gone to join the
heroic Reynolds in the fields of eternal rest
Corps, division, brigade and regimental COM
manders are following fast The hundred
thousand noble men who touched elbows in
defence of Pennsylvania soil are being rap
idly gathered TO their reward and soon none
will be left TO tell the story of the awful
struggle which is the one event of our history
which overshadows all others. Our citizens
seem to never tire of studying the field and
hearing the incidents of that memorable
fight.
Our Grand Army friends have succeeded
in securing for exhibition in City Hall, We'd
nesday evening next, the magnificent EXPOSE
tion of the battle that has been creating such
a sensation throughout the country for some
months past, and our citizens will have a
chance to see the titanic struggle, not only
on both portions of the field, but the entire
fight from first to last in all the sublime gran
deur of the storm-swept field.

the New York Convention.

At the Methodist church last night the
death in New York at noon yesterday OF
Rev. Charles J. Clark, d. D., of Woodfords,
aged 40 years and / month, was announced,
and expressions of profound regret were Of
fered Mr.. Clark was attending the general
conference which was in session in New
York, as delegate from the Maine Metho-
dist Conference. Saturday at 430 p. M, Mr..
Frank b. Clark, the stationer, brother OF the
deceased, received telegram which stated
that his brother is very sick, and at once
he. accompanied by Mrs. Charles j. Clark,
started for New York where they arrived
several hours previous to Mr.. Clark's death.
In the death of Rev. Charles J. Clark, d.
D., the Methodist church of Maine loses one
of its ablest and most devoted sons. When
a young man Mr.. Clark was connected with
the book store OF Bailey q Noyes, and later
in 1866 he opened tea store on Exchange
street. Here he was burned out by the
great fire after which he removed to the
store now occupied by j. B. Donnell on
Commercial street. He continued in this
business during 1867. and then gave it up.
Later he was connected with the Methodist
Book Concern of New York, and in 1874 he
was pastor of Methodist church at the
Highlands, Boston, then being a member of
the New England Conference. In 1876, 1877
and 1878 he was pastor of Pine street church
of this city and in 1879 became pastor
of the Chestnut street church. He also oc-
cupied pulpits at Saco and at Auburn. He
was presiding elder of the Portland District
four years, and Of the Augusta District two
years, and twice elected a delegate from the
Maine Conference to the General Confer
ence. At the last meeting of the Maine
Conference he was appointed financial agent
of the Maine Wesleyan Seminary, and for
years he was secretary of the Conference,
He was at one time amember of the book
committee of the Conference, and also a
member of the Portland Lodge of Free Ma
sons.
Mr.. Clark was born in central Maine, and
married Sophia Babb, daughter of the late
Mr.. Joseph Babb Of this city. Mrs. Clark,
four daughters and one son survive him.
Mr.. Clark died of diphtheria and was sur
rounded by friends during the last moments
of his life AS a member Of the church he
was greatly beloved by all who knew him !;
he was great favorite with the children,
and as citizen he was held in the highest
esteem He was sweet singer, man of
sound business ability and his death will be
regretted by vast circle Of friends. The re-
mains will be brought here on the noon train
today

AN EXPLANATION.

What is this snerveus trouble" with which so
many seem now to be afflicted? Ii you will re-
member few years ago the word Malaria was
comparatively unknown, to-day it is as common
as any word in the English language yet this word
covers only the meaning Of another word used by
our forefathers in time past SO it is with nervous
diseases, as they and Malaria are intended to GOV
er what our grandfathers called Bilousness, and
all are caused by troubles that arise from dis
eased condition of the Ii yer which in performing
its functions finding it cannot dispose of the bile
through the ordinary channel is compelled to pass
1t off through the system, causing nervous troub
les, Malaria Bilious Fever etc. You who are suf-
fering can well appreciate a cure We recommend

question has created a third party, which
has determined to put ticket in the field:
l have no doubt that the Republicans Will
lose by this movement much more than the
Democratic party. Our prohibition leaders
are earnest and strong men. some OF them
they have already created diversion there
large enough to command respect and cause
a good deal of apprehension. Moreover, it
is no secret that the third party assault is di-
