the decision of the Supreme court of the

first place no such opinion is likely to be

The Kennebec Journal thinks there was a
good deal of Choking off" done in the Dem
ocratic convention at Augusta, considering
that one Of the chief complaints of that body
was that the Democrats had been "choked
on" In the House by Speaker Reed. John
Madigan tried to speak on the license ones
tion' but was "choked OFF, and an effort was
made to choke off, Gen. Plaisted right in
the middle of his speech. Furthermore the
license men complain they they were not
only "choked off," but also counted out.
Another ridiculous feature of the perfor
nance was the nomination of millionaire
Hill after denouncing millionaires and mo-
nopolists and coddling the laboring man.
But Democratic convention seldom adj
lourns without making itself a laughing
stock.

The Little Soldiers Serenade Mr..
Busch and Col Knippenberg of st.
Louis. ~
The Busch Zouaves gave a reception to
Adolphus Busch, Jr., aud Col. B. Knippen-
berg at the regimental armory last night,
and it included an exhibition drill which,
was highly complimented by the guests of
the corps, Col. Knippenberg, of the st.
Louis military, expressing his surprise at
the perfect evolutions Of the ZouaveS.
After the drill Mr.. Busch addressed the
corps, and he said that he would carry back
to his father, after whom the Busch Zouaves
are named, the message that no should feel
proud that such gentlemanly company of
well drilled military boys bear his name.
Mr.. George Meyer, after the drill, enter
tanned the corps and Messrs. Busch and
Knippenberg. The Zouaves had the regi-
mental band out, and they marched down
to the Pulaski house 60 escort the st. Lous
visitors, but through some misunder-
standing they had gone out to the
armory. The Zouaves then marched
to the armory to the music of the
band, and after serenading the visitors
marched in and went through their drill in
an excellent manner. Quite a number of
the friends of the corps were present by in
vitation and shared in the hospitality ex-
tended by Mr.. Meyer.
Messrs. Busch and Knippenberg are here
to attend the Meyer Walter nuptials to-
night, having made the trip from st. Louis
for that purpose.
