ARGUMENTUM AID INvIDIAM.
Don Dickeuson Tries to Cover His Re-
treat with Laugh.

BosToN, Oct. 9.
representative of the Boston Herald
called upon Postmaster General Dickinson
today in Washington
Have you seen Blaine's reply to your
western speech on New England?"
II want to ask in all seriousness said
Dickinson, whether Blaine is well. His
statements out west have been extraordinary
on every subject. There is more than a
touch of Don Quixote de la Msneha in some
of his rhetorical capers. With dozens of ex-
cellent speeches on the issues of the campaign
urgently calling for replies, from represent
atiye statesmen, this uDcrowned king of de-
baters incoherently belsbcrs a speech which
he says | have delivered through the west a
speech only existing in his Imagination. The
knight of the sorrowful figure fitting at the
windmill was more grotesqe and pitiable.
Here is something else, he stated, in Mich
igan, referring 10 wood pulp. He said: 1T is
cabinet affair Dickinson and Secretary
Bayard's son own the patents, and right there
lies free trade. The joke of the season was
that wood pulp was on the free list but has
been placed on the protected schedule. 1t
is an industry which should be protected
even if it does put Clevelands cabinet in
rather an anomalous position. Now | do
not even know Secretary Bayard's son and
of course have no interests with him.
If Blaine were quite well the only reply
would make to this charge would be that
of Horace Greeley to the country editor
laconically impugning the latter's veracity in
good Anglo-SaIon. The Plumed Knight
should put on tin helmet and have a
Saaeho Panea to go about with him. When
do make a speech. as shall, | will have
something further to say about Blaine if he
gets well enough.

The Coburn Cadets are to hold an exhib-
ition drill and military ball in Town Hall,
Orono, probably on Nov. .. 1t is TO be
somewhat similar TO the one last year, which
was such a success, but with some new
features. In this connection il may be said
that there has been some talk on the part of
the cadets of issuing a challenge to any
other military company in the State TO drill
against them some time before the close of
the present term, but whether such step
will really be taken is not yet known. OF a
more specific nature has been the talk of
drill of the cadets against the Hamlin Rifles
of Bangor. c. G. Cushman, company A, has
been in conference with Capt. Chillcott, of
the Hamlin Rifles, in regard to the matter,
and it now seems probable that a competi-
tive drill may be brought about between
these two companies, but nothing absolutely
certain concerning it is yet ascertained.

Instructions. Some of the employees of the
road and the officers removed the debris, but
as fast as it was taken away it was replaced.

by the stubborness of the strikers, responded
with a will. They made a rush and used their
clubs freely Men and boys were hit and
