THE RULE OF THE pOpln1sTs.

the executive committee Of the Den

republicans, partly democrats and
partly recent populists:
"Populist rule in Colorado has
been like Il devastating forest fire.
BY destroying our credit. which is
the life Of commerce, it consumed
for the time being not less than
$500 900, 900 Of value in this state.

the borrowing power OF her property
ranked in the late census next to
that Of New York. 'This borrowing
power, this handspring OF our splcn-

JACK THE HUGGER
Puts in an Appearance Again in Ward
One.

1t was thought that Jack, the hugger
seeing the wickedness of his ways, had
deserted Munjoy hill, or else had given
up his nefarious deeds. We learn, how
ever, that he has reappeared at the old
spot and is again in business. Two
young ladies of well known respectable
families have lately been assaulted by
him. One was on st. Lawrence street,
just below the Congress street Methodist
churh, having turned into the street
from Monument street, and the other
was on the Eastern Promenade in front
of Mr.. Henry P.Dewey's house. In both
instances the ladies' were taken by sur
prise, and were Extensively treated, but
not injured. The one assaulted in front
of Mr.. Dewey's had strength to break
away, run up the steps of Mr.. Dewey's
residence and ring the bell.
If the chap keeps on it is only a
question of time when he will find him
self in Jail.

THE MARSHALSHiP.
Hon. John Il. Donovan VIII Probably Not
Assume the Duties of the Office
Immediately.

The Hon. John B. Donovan, who has
been appointed United States marshal
for Maine, is the chairman of the Demo-
cratic State committee and leading
mem Der of the Plum Trust He is a
young man, lawyer by profession, and
distinguished by courtesy and geniality
of manner that has so far been proof
against the Vaccinations of his enemies.
Mr.. Donovan will not at once take
possession Of the marshal's office in the
federal court portion of the post Office
building. He is not yet confirmed by
the Senate, and Marshal Fl. B. Saunders S
commission will not expire until the 23rd
instant
Mr.. Saunders has held the office four
years, and has been an efficient official.
In his residence here he has made many
friends who will regret his departure to
his old home in Ellsworth Previous to
accepting this position, Mr.. Saunders
was for twenty-one and half years the
clerk of courts for Hancock county.
The pay of the United States marshal
is one of the state secrets. The salary is
two hundred dollars year. but this is
merely nominal, as the fees are relied on
for the main recompense. Formerly
when the business was larger, the re-
turns of the office were more considerable
than now.
The attorney general of the United
States has recently recommended that
the fees of marshals, clerks of courts and
district attorneys be abolished, regular
salaries being substituted.
