BAR HARB0R, July IL, 1891.
To the plain citizen of Maine the pluto
cracy OF Bar Harbor is wonderful and even
bewildering. Here on this island are to be
seen the evidences Of luxury and the splen-
dors Of wealth which make visit to New
York or Washington so full of wondermentto

streets appear daily those elegant equipages

CLEVELAND, Ohio. July 14.-Governer
Campbell will be the nominee Of the Demo-
cratic convention tomorrow for governor Of
Ohio. The contest will be short and decIs-
i've and be concluded with the first ballot.
Governor Campbell will received far more
than enough votes to nominate him, but the
auti-Campbell delegates say they will go on
record In opposition In order to prevent an
unanimous nomination. While an angry
wrangle was Ia progress this evening In
front OF the Plain Dealer office between Pc
ter Nolan. Campbell man and an amateur
prize fighter, and William and James Patter-
son, Neal delegates, all understood to be
from Cincinnati, the lie was passed and In an
instant revolvers were drawn. A lively fu
sllade followed, In which four four or five
shots were fired with mild results. An lnno-
cent bystander received one bullet, after
which the weapons were used as clubs with
q more appreciable effect on the contestants.
They all received numerous gashes over the
head and were bleeding profusely when ar.
rested. This incident tended at once to re-
store more philosophical feeling all
around. The party leaders OF all factions
Immediately entered a vigorous protest
against thelfaeti0nal wrangles which had con
tinued throughout the day. Tonight petty
disputes are disc0untenanced by all and a
strong attempt Is being made to restore har-
mony.

Mr.. Reod In the Hands OF tho Por-

New York Sun Editoria,l


The Hon. Thomas Bracket Reed is hay
Ing his portrait painted in Paris by Mr..
John 5. Sargent, one Of the most accom-
plished and original of the younger genera
tion of American artists; and the work
ought to be noteworthy addition to the gal
ley of statesmen. A subject more salient
in characteristics, more interesting In gem
ius and stronger in type could not be given
to MIR. Sargent's pencil, even If he should go
back to the great race of subtle statesmen
and hidalgos who were the contemporaries
OF Velasquez, with whom some Of his admir-
ers have compared him. The high-piled fore
head Of the Shakespeare Of the Stratford
bust, the shrewd and penetrating eyes of a
master politician, and the careless Down.
East mOustache scarcely penumbrating a
mOuth of hospitable width, at once humor-
GUS and determined; cheek firm and hard,
chin that means business, and cOQuettish
sebaceousness of under chin and upper neck !;
here is combination to which all of Mr..
Sargent's skill cannot do more than Justice
The moustache will be especially difficult to
render.
Unlike another celebrated son of Maine
and Bowdoin, Mr.. Reed does not give up to
his upper lip what was meant for his brains.
He does not wantonly waste nervous tissues

too large for him. Avoiding capillary hyp-
ertrophy, he contents himself with a plain
modest, and economical mOustache. To par
0dy famous phrase of Daniel Webster's
speech in the Dartmouth College case, it is
a small moustache, and yet there are those
who love 1t. Its proprietor devoted nearly
80 years to raising it; the painter should not
slur it, magnify or minlfy 1t; but lay it upon
the canvas in all its.simpliciIy Of texture and
carelessness of attitude.
Another charm, evident IL impalpable, Of
MIR. Speaker Reeds countenance Is the un-
exttnguished light of boyishness that shines
in 1t. In vain have time and feeding expan-

No doubt Mr.. Reed will be portrayed with
the gavel in one hand and the Force bill In

quorum in the Speakers eye?

Whites Alarmed at the Thre ais of
the NavaJoes.

DENVER, Col, July 14-A special to the
Rocky Mountain News from Flagstaff, Ariz,
says: sheep herder arrived at this place
last night, with information that the Navajo
Indians were gathering in vast numbers.
They seemed greatly excited. and were pre-
pairing to resist any attempt on the part Of
the government to arrest the leaders in their
raid on the cattle and sheep ranges in this
vicinity. They warned the stock men to
threatening their lives If they do not. IL is
the belief OF the people that this is the COM
mencement of the expected outbreak of the
Indians. Twenty-Five more citizens left here
last night to reinforce Sheriff Francis and
his posse of cowboys. kilograms have been
forwarded to the governor asking for troops
TO be ready to come at once. The sheriff has
issued warrants for the arrest of the chief
and others. 1t Is believed the posse will on

LINCOLN AND hAMLIN.
Hon. A. J. Waterman's RecoIiectIons
of the Baltimore Convention.

BOSTON, July 14-Hon. A. J. Waterman
of Pittsfeld. attorney general of Massachu-
setts in 1888, 'S9 and 80, was a delegate to
the Baltimore convention in 1864, and is very
clear in his recollection of the convention.
Said he: 81 went to the convention full of
the idea which so many had, that it would
be wise policy to nominate johnson, to
recognize the Southern Unionists. l had
heard Johnson's loud talk about traitors tax
ing back seats. and began to believe in him.
But on the night before the convention
Henry Wilson ccme to the headquarters of
the Massachusetts delegation, and his con-
versati0n with me convinced me that ought
to support Hamlin. He explained the neces-
sty of President LincOln's abstaining from
any public declaration of his preference for
the second office, but assured me that he had
full authority to represent the views of the
earnest desire of Mr.. Lincoln that Hamlin
should be renominated. The next day l
voted for Hamlin.
There is no doubt whatever In my mind
about this" continued Mr.. Waterman. "Mr.
Wilson was positive in his statements, and
have always been glad that voted for Ham
lin instead OF that miserable scamp who, af-
ter getting the presidency, showed out so
clearly his real sentiments"
Other surviving members of the MasSa-
chusetts delegation to the convention, said
that they did not know that Mr.. Lincoln had
expressed any preference in the matter.
Most of them voted for johnson in Obedi-
ence to the cry for Middle States man.

SMASHED INTO sPLINTERs.
How Eliot Men Took the Law Into
Their Own Hands.

BIDDEFoRD, July 14.-Last Sunday night
a crowd of masked men attacked a house
known as the "Kearsarge." on the lower
end of Eliot Neck, and completely demol-
ished it, The house has been the resort of
questionable characters for some time and
has been an eyesore to the community.
There was fighting in the house on Saturday
and Sunday, but on the evening OF the latter
day, the occupants drove to Portsmouth to
spend the night
The attack was made about midnight. A
dozen or 10 men of the party were armed
with axes and at a signal from the leader
they fell upon the house as one man
and began the work of destruction. The
axes were piled with lusty arms and In less
time than 1t takes to tell the story they had
the supporting timbers chopped away. A
rope was then thrown over the house and in
minute it was upset. Half an hour later it
had the appearance of big pile of kindling
wood. In fact the whole house had been
smashed to splinters. When the Job had
been finished the white caps departed as ST.
lently as they had come. An eye witness
says that not a word was spoken while the
work of destruction was going on. OF the
many who witnessed the job not one could
be induced to disclose the identity of those
participating,

son answers recent Washington letter TO
the New York World, in which occurs this
passage: "Watterson's personal dislike OF
Governor Hill may iustlhably be very
strong" Mr.. Watterson says: "The editor
Of the Courier-Journal has not the smallest
personal dislike of Governor Hill. II the
governor and bis friends are satisfied with
the episode referred to assuredly Mr.. Wat
terson has no desire To disturb their equa-
nimity. He has not regarded the governor
as probable, not even a possible, Demo-
cratic nominee for President In 1892 for the
following reasons: There Is a widespread
feeling, unfounded though 1t be, that Cleve-
land was defeated by some zeal In New
York with which Hill was connected. Those

Passengers in an Electric Car Scram-
BILE for Safety.

BANGOR, July 1.-the dangers and force
of electricity were wonderfully illustrated
here this noon. A car on the electric road,
containing thirty people, running at the rate
of fifteen miles an hour, caught fire, the
flames bursting through the floor, envelop-
ing men, women and children. Previous to
this some three minutes, the car had sudden
lY jumped. Some said it seemed like going
over rock. others like the violent starting
of locomotive. Then the car ran smooth
until the fire broke out. There was a wild
scramble, some clothing being left and burn
ing up. The fire burning brightly was seen
under the car just below the blaze. Had the
car been box car, the people must have
been badly burned. The motive power was
uninjured, and the only explanation is that
there was cross between the power and the
ground. The electrician says such may take
place under an electric car, though rarely. 1t
has never happened here and no case ever
was known before.
