CURRENT COMMENT
THE SECOND TEST.
New York SUM-

To the Mugwump fanatics, Mr.. Cleve-
lands ina mary popularity about the
time of his accidental election in 1884,
grew like Jacks beanstalk steadily
throughout his four years of Mugwump
administration. Then, in 1888, he was
defeated with a reversed OF diminished
Democratic majority in every Democratic
state.
The same frantic argument for the
Stuffed Prophets fictitious status has
been put to the test of fact again in the
city of Providence, where this ponder
Gus and unaccountable demagogue went
to plead his own case for the Democratic
nomination, under the pretence that it
was the s'People's cause" The result is
that the Democratic majority of 1000 in
Providence sank almost to 200. This,
too, was after a bewilderingly vociferous
reception few days before to the visit
ing speaker.
The popularity alleged of the claimant
is as baseless as his democracy. Mug
wump politics and moral hypocrisy are
offensive to every one trained in the
school of American republicanism. Mon
sieur de Buffalo is a back number. Take
him away!

our eyes were wide open to see other
wonders. We soon learned that large
steamboat was in sight The news OF
her coming and wonderful size and
speed, had preceded her and the entire
male population seemed to be rushing to
Union wharf, to have look at her, and
we joined them. If Chinese junk with

Patent Capt. Seward Porter, four days
from New York, which was coming up
the harbor. After much backing and
filling and loud orders from the captain
on the wheel house, with cane in hand
and spectacles above his eyes, she was
hauled into the wharf. Lieut.. Nc
Call of the Enterprise who brought
the captured Boxer into the har-
Dor in 1914, was not sensible OF
greater achievement than was Capt Por-
ter, who the year before had been
laughed at about his horned hog 1.-THE
Kennebec), as she was called by the IN
credulous, and who now brought here
splendid steamer for the times. She was
described as of one hundred tons and
costing $4,000. From my recollection /!
think she had no mast, but wore small
U. S. Ensign on staff at her stern. The
Patent was low boat, without hurrl-
cane deck; her boiler and engine below;
and, like all boats of her time, she had
heavy balance wheel half above the deck
and an arrangement by which the paddle
wheels, which were small, could be dis
connected from the engine and work off
the steam without moving the wheels,
or one could be thrown off to facilitate
the turning of the boat in narrow chan
mel. Of course her cabins were all be-
low. The ladies' cabin was at the stern,
and lighted by windows in the stern, but
no skylight in the deck; the entrance
was through the gentlemen's cabin. The
stern was broad like the vessels of that
time, the quarterback clear with seats
all around, which were occupied by the
passengers on going on board. The Pa
tent was run during the remainder of the
Boston, with an occasional trip to the
Kennebec. In the Boston Courier Of Au-
gust II is notice of her arrival on the
Sth from Portland in III hours against a
head wind, with 81 passengers. She was
afterwards commanded by Capt. Heath.
Her agent in Portland was Abial Somer-
by, who was then about 16 or II, and
stood on the end of Union wharf with a
lantern in his hand many an hour to light
her in and take the line. The Patent
ran from Boston to Portland
and to Bath the next day. The fare
from Boston to Portland was S., with
meals. The Patent ran from Belfast to
Eastport in 1926 until about 1880, when
Capt. Porter sold out his interest and
the route east of Portland,
and turned his attention to the Boston
route. The Patent was sold soon after
and went South and was wrecked on the
Southern coast.
