Some time ago it was announced that
the young Democrats of Portland were
about to form an anti-prohibition club to
promote the business and social interests
of the State. We should judge from the
following speech made by Mr.. E. c.
SWEET before the Biddeford Young Mems
Democratic club that that gentleman
aspired to be President of the Portland
organization:
This is to be Democratic year, and let me
assure the Young Mems club OF Biddeford, that
we of Portland intend to be init, and do not
propose to rest upon the lanrels already won,
for next September we al going to rescue Cum
berland county from the doctrinaires and
cranks who are doing their best to make grass
grow in the streets Of Portland; then shoulder
to shoulder with the Democracy OF York county
we will redeem the First district, and Joining
hands with the triumphant Democracy OF Lew
iston, WaterViile and Bangor, We will raise the
Republican embargo of Prohibition which stul-
titles the motto and paralyzes the development
of the old Pine Tree State, and make Maine
what nature intended it to be- the summer re-
sort and playground of the wealth and culture
OF the nation.
Certainly this speech shows that he is
amply qualified for the office.

Our silly neighbor goes so far as to impeach
the common sense of Mr.. Reed himself and to
bettlc one of its directors, the Hon. Charles +.
Libby, by insinuating that the only reason for
the formers opposition to Governor Robbie and
sible penny-a-liner had put into print some silly
twitter of some one as silly as the Press.-Eve-
ming Express.
The irresponsible penny-a-liner'' al
luded to must be none other than the ed
itor of Col, Dow's organ, the Evening
Express, and the ''silly twitter'' referred
to must be the despatch he sent to the
Boston Herald insinuating that Mr.. Libby
could not go to Minneapolis because he
was heartily seconded by MI. Reed. Is
it fair for Col. Dow to charac
terise the editor of his newspaper as an
irresponsible penny-a-liner'' in order te
pull himself out Of hole?

The Florida Times-Union thinks Mr..
Robert T. Lincoln as the Republican
candidate for the Presidency might carry
half the Southern States If force bil''
were in operation. Bya 'sforce bill" it
means a bill like that framed by Mr.,
Lodge, which was calculated to ensure a
free ballot and fair count. Under such
law the Republicans might not be able
to carry half the Southern States, but
they would certainly carry number Of
them.

paper anent Gov. Robes withdrawal
that ''the Changers and the Grand
Army men are highly indig-
nant.n When Gov Robe Withdrew eau
cuses had been held in eight country
towns where the grangers reside and
where they throw most of the votes. Of
these towns Gov. Robbie had carried two

the light of these facts the Herald cor
respondents statement that the Changers

Amongsta multitude of foolish acts
the New York legislature appears to have
passed one which has much to commend
it, namely, bill submitting to the vote
of the people constitutional amendment
transferring contested election cases
from the legislature to the courts. Other
states would do well to follow suit. Par
tisanship in legislative body, especially
when the body is close, is apt to be SO
bitter that claimants to seat gets scant
justice when they belong to the minority.

CAPTURE OF GEMS. KELLEY AND CROOK
Gen. Kelley gave me the sequel to his escape
from the North Mountain Gap. In February,
1860, when the war was drawing to a close and
vigilance on the Upper Potomac was relaxed,
an audacious little band of rebel gnerril-
las under Capt O'Neal made night dash
into Cumberland, dragged Gems. Kelley and
Crook out of bed, and carried them off
"all IN the twinklng Of an eye" The plan
was laid by one of the guerrillas, Jim Daley
by name, a harum scarum fellow, who was
Crooks brother in-law. Crook had married
Mary Daley, pretty Irish girl, out OF rebel
family at Oakland, the daughter of tavern
keeper, and her brother Jim thought it would be
a very smart thing to capture Crook. But the
guerrillss took Kelley along, too
They we're taken to Richmond by way of
the Shenandoah Valley, as prisoners of war. On
reaching Staunton the distinguished prisoners
were conducted to the Headquarters of Gen.
Early. The great rebel leader received them
very Hospitality. He regretted that the for
tunes OF war made IL necessary for him to re-
gard them as prisoners rather than as guests.
Then he said bo Kelley;
- / intended TO have had the pleasure myself
of capturing you and your suPply-train at
Hedgesvillessbuty you mysteriousiy gave me the
slip, and you
DIDN'T LEAVE CRACKER BEHIND.
Ny army went without breakfast that morn
ing sir. l had estimated that it would be
fair mornings work before breakfast to take
you, and we had depended on your supplies"
To this pleasantly Gen. Kelley replied
grimly that there might have been enough
supplies to 20 around when he had finished his
part OF the mornings work
When Gen. Lee heard the story of the kid
mapping Of Kelley and Crook, he ordered their
release, with afe-conduct TO the Federal lines
He sent his regrets to the two officers, with
assurance that he did not believe ia guerrilla
warfare, and that he did not sanction the
act of Capt. O'Neal. This was one Of Gen.
Lees magnanimous acts which should live in
history as an element in the fame of great
soldier.
Gen Kelley's body was last July laid, by his
own request, next TO the still fresh grave Of his
comTade-in-arms, Crook, in the great soldiers
cemetery at Arlington, once the home of the
Lees and the Custises.

The senator passed through DanvilIe

The Register had already announced
that Mr.. Hill would be on the $50 p, m.
train, and some 25O or SOC people were
at the depot to greet him.
When the Midland train from Wash
ington pulled in, the crowd yelled for
Hill, and when the senator appeared on
the platform everybody cheered.
Senator Hill said he would not make
any extended remarks. He was on his
way to Charlotte to assist in celebrating
the anniversary of the Mecklenburg Dec

CHARLOTTE'S CELEBRATION.

The Tournament at Charlotte Ye esterday
Grand Success.
The Charlotte Observer says: TOurna-
ment day in Charlotte was a great day
BY 8 o'cock in the morning people be-
gan moving to the grounds, and from
then until 10 o'clock, the time when the
exciting contest began, humanity in all
classes, conditions, sizes and ages surged
to the park-the country seemed literally
swarming with people. They went in the
cars, in vehicles of every description,
from the stylish victoria and cart to the
humble one horse shay, and those who
could not get accommodation on wheels
footed it,
The grand stand was dense mass of
humanity-there were maids in their
pretty spring attire, enticing pictures of
| loveliness and fair enough in their be-
coming dress and gracious smiles to
nerve the heart and arm Of any knight ;
and is it any wonder that each knight in
passing in review before the grand stand
uncOnsciously gave an upward glance
well directed at the one special fair one
to him the inspiration of any deed of
chivalry? Gray hairs and youthful
faces sat side by side-not one condition
in life but what was represented. The
sea Of faces in the grand stand was but a
| reflection of the multitude on the ground
just outside of the grand stand. On
either side of the race track ropes were
stretched to keep the people back-and
up to the limit of space allowed they
were packed. 1t was estimated tha:
from ten to twelve thousand people wit
messed the great event.
