A Strong Hold Upon the People.
IN. Y. Press.)

The denomination of Gov. Cleaves by
reclamation Tuesday by the Republicans of
Maine was an honor worthily bestowed.
Gov. Cleaves has filed his present position
with conspicuous ability and fidelity, and
the heartiness with which he was again
chosen the Republican standard bearer
shows the strength of his hold upon the
people. The platform adopted yesterday
was what might have been expected of
the State of James G Blaine and Thomas B.
Reed. Every line glows with the spirit of
true patriotism. Protection to American
industry will be the watchword of the Re-
publican campaign. No other issue comes
so near to the people of Maine. The mon
grel tariff bill now before the United States
Senate, with its free lumber schedule, deals
deadly blow at the chief industry of that
State. The wage earners of Maine, now
menaced with permanent beggary by that
compound of corruption and Bourbon hate,
should make their will known with an en-
phasis at the coming State election that can
not be mistaken.

The State convention was fortunate in
its choice of presiding officer. Hon. Charles
A. Boutelle is a man who honors Maine
and whom Maine delights to honor. An elo-
quent speaker, with the courage of his con-

where, and his vigorous speech on taking
the chair sounded the keynote of the COM

In other words, does Venus turn on her
axis in the same manner that all the 9TH
er planets are supposed to? Every school
boy or girl knows that the earth, besides
having an annual motion around the sun,
has daily rotation on its axis or shorter
diameter, which is performed from west
to east in 90 hours, So minutes and 4 sec
onds of mean time. Late observations on
the planet Venus are of such a startling
character as to warrant Professor Shia-
lpnrelli, the italian astronomer, in making
the astonishing announcement that the
planet is motionless with the exception OF
its flight around the sun. Ilo claims that
he has been able to define and identify the
spots on the surface Of Venus sufficiently
to determine that they do not change ex-
cept as the planet moves in its orbit
around our great luminary.
| All that was ever known concerning the
supposed rotary motion of our sister world
was ascertained by observations made on
the spots on her surface. Astronomers
claimed to have thoroughly identified
these, and that such marked spots were
found to occupy the same relative position
"a hours later. On the strength of this
they announced that the day of Venus
was about equal TO our own. Schiaparelli
