OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
Made to Cen Harrison of His Nomina-
tion-His Able Reply.

Wednesday the notification committee
from the national republican convention
waited upon Gen. Harrison. To Chairman
Estees' announcement Gen. Harrison replied
as follows:
Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Com
mittee--'rhe official notice which you have
brought of the nomination conferred upon
me by the republican national convention
recently in Chicago, excites emotions of a
profound though of a somewhat conflicting
character. I hat after full deliberation and
tree consultation the representative of the
republican party of the United States should
have concluded that the great principles
enunciated in the platform adopted by the
convention could be in some measure safely
cOnfded to my care is an honor of which
am deeply sensible and for which am very
grateful. do not assume or believe that
this choice implies that the convention found
IN me any pre-eminent fitness or exceptional
fidelity TO the principles of government to
which we are mutually pledged. My salts
faction with the result would be altogether
spoiled if that result had been reached BY
any UNIV orthy methods or by dslaragement
of the more eminent men who divided with
me the suffrages of the convention.
accept the nomination with so deep a
sense of the dignity of the office and of the
gravity of its duties and responsibilities
as altogether TO ex' lute any feeling of ex-
ultativn or pride. The principles of govern
ment and the practices in administration,
upon which issues now fortunat.ly ~ so
clearly made are SO important in their rela-
tons to the national and individual prosperity
that we may expect as usual popular interest
in the campaign.
Relying wholly upon the considerate juig-
ment of our fellow citizens and the gracious
iavor of God, we will confidently submit
our cause to the arbitratment of tree ballot.
The day you have chosen for this visit sug-
gests no thoughts that are not in harmony
with the occasion. The republican party has
walked in the light of the declaration of
indep ,ndence. IL has lifted the shaft of
patriOtism upon the foundation laid at Bun
ker Hill. Ii has made the more perfect
Union secure by making all men free. Wash.
ington and Lincoln, Yorktown and Appomat.
tox, the declaration of Independence and the
proclamation of emancipation are naturally
and worthIly in our thoughts.
As soon as it may be possible / shall BY
letter communicate to your chairman a more
formal acceptance of the nomination, bur il
may be but proper to say that have ALREADY
examined the platform with some care, AID
that its declarations, to some of which your
chairman has alluded, are in harmony with
my views. Ii gives me pleasure, gentlemen,
to receive you IN my home, and to thank you
for the cordial manner in which you have
conveyed your official message.

GRIMES AND ACCIDENTS.
MURDER AT ELLIorsvILLE.
An Overseer OF the Canadian Pacific
Found Short Through the Head.

DANGOR, July D.
The Wing learns that man named Ken
ney from Prince Edward Island, was muir
dered at Elliotsville Monday or Tuesday.
The best statement of facts at present OBJ
tainable is: Kinney, boss of steam drill
crew on a section of the Canadian Pacific mas
not drawn any pay for long time till few
he came to Monsen, aud from there went to
Elliotsville with young man who has a
camp there and lives by guiding parties and
doing other jobs. he was also assisted by
friends who regard him as partially deranged
having been queer in his ways many years
His family is one of the highest in respecta-
bility and of considerable wealth. When
they left Monson the young man had Win
chester rifle with him. Tuesday the latter
returned without the rifle and went to Mon
son Junction and purchased ticket to Ban
gor on the Piscataquis railroad but left the
train at Guilford, saying he was going to
take the stage to Dexter and the railroad
further to Boston.
Kinley not returning the workman turned
out to search and found the body in Water
Pond, Eliotsville, in a clump of alder bushes
He had rifle shot wound through his head
and another through his shoulder Coroner
Poole and County Attorney Parsons of Dover
went up today to investigate. The result
has not yet been learned. Steps are being
taken to apprehend suspected man whose
name is withheld on account of his family
until further developments fix the guilt on
them or relieve him from suspicion. There
was talk some years ago of sending him to
the asylum but his alteration was said only
to be by spells.

The modes of deaths approach are various,
and statistics show conclusively that more
persons die from diseases of the Throat and
Lungs than any other. II is probable that
everyone, without exception, receives vast
numbers of Tubercle Germs into the system
and where these germs fall upon suitable soil
they start into life and develop, at first slowly
and are shown by slight tickling sensation In
the throat and If allowed to continue their
ravages they extend to the lungs producing
Consumption and to the head, causing Ca
tarrh. Now all this is dangerous and If al
lowed to proceed will in time cause death.
At the onset you must act with promptness;
allowing a cold to 90 without attention is
dangerous and may lose you your life. As
soon as you feel that something is wrong with
your Throat, Lungs or Nostrils, obtain a
bottle of Boschee's German Syrnp. IL will
give you immediate relief.
