OUR FRIENDS, THE ENEMY.

The Democratic State convention put
its best foot forward Yesterday,
Rarely has the State Democracy NOM
mated ticket which we may SO unani-
mously regard all through with so much
of real sy mpathy for their misfortune in
representing party that is dis
credited and put to shame in municipal,
state and national affairs the country
through.
Mr.. GEORGE l.. LrTTLEFIELD, our
esteemed fellow-citizen from Pawtucket,
certainly deserves better of the world
than to have been put upas the figurehead
of party whose leaders are chiefly
political banditti and whose rank and file
contain large proportion of political
coffee coolers. Mr.. AUGUSTUS S. MILLER
was nominated for Lieut.. Governor as la
boris candidate, this distinction being due
to Mr.. MILLER's honorary membership
in the North End Anarchist Club. Mr..
p. II. QUINN, the strident young advo-
cate OF labor ON the part of everybody else
but himself, was Mr.. MILLER's sponsor
on the occasion of the convention. Mr..
GEORGE w. GREENE of Woonsocket,
who, next to the Hon. ARTHUR CUSHING
of North Providence, is about the most
agreeable young man we know
of in these parts, was nominated
for Secretary of State. Mr.. GEORGE
T. BRowN-by the way, three of the
five candidates are called GEORGE"
by George lawyer of good parts and
disconsolate mien will run for the attor-
ney- y-generalship, and Mr.. JOHN G.. PERRY,
the last memento left to "a sorrowfu
world of the Honest JOHN DAVIS galaxy,
is to run for the general treasurership,
as he almost always did and always will
SO long AS Democratic convention can
be got to nominate him.
Believing as we do that all these
gentlemen keenly feel the painfulness of
their position, far be it from us to add,
by careless word or ungracious senti-
ment, to their discontinue. They, evil
IDENTIFY, have trouble enough.
As the much esteemed p. j. Nc
CARTHY, the self-resurrected, remarked
of the gentleman whom he placed in
nomination for the Governorship, these
gentlemen need no eulogy, bless them !
But their party is awfully hard up for
eulogies. Besides the record of a Re-
publican administration of four success
sive years standing is the best argu-
ment for keeping the State in the hands
of the party against whom these gentle
men are set up.
Who cares. though, so long as Colonel
FRANK OWEN can amuse himself getting
up conventions and running the machin-
cry of back-number political party9

Convention rededicated the party "to
the principles of the founders of our

constitutional convention and opposed
the biennial election bill. The rededica-

the Democratic party got back to first

THE PITCAIRN.
Will Call Here on Her Way to
San Francisco.

Captain J. f. Graham, of the
mission vessel Pitcairn, writing to
Sydney by the German cruiser
Buzzard, which arrived here from
FIJI, gives an interesting account
Of the cruise Of the Pitcairn, says
the Sydney Herald Of September
25th. The vessel left San Fran
cisco on the 1st of last May, and
was at Pitcairn Island on June 9th,
having sailed 4OOOmiles. She had
on board a large party of Seventh
day Adventists, who volunteered
their services for religious work in
the South Seas. After staying a
week at Pitcairn, the vessel left for
the Society Islands, 1900 miles to
the westward, and was eighteen
days on the trip, owing to head
winds and Gains. In that group
all of the stations under the con-
troll Of the Seventh-day Adventists
were called at, and after visiting
the Austral and Cook Islands, and
Niue and Tonga, the Pitcairn made
for Suva. The passengers on board
are DR.. and Mrs. Braucht, Miss
M'Coy, Mr.. Owen, son and daugh-
ter, and Messrs. Young, Eldon, Ora
ham, and Mr.. and Mrs. Elahasman,
missionaries. From Fiji the Pit
cairn will proceed home to San
Francisco via the Gilbert Islands
and Honolulu. Twelve new sta
tions were established, and Captain
Graham remarks that the work of
the society is prospecting beyond
anything in the past.

Taking ADVANTAGE of the Tabu.
Shortly after the arrival of the
Mariposa yesterday a large shark
was seen swimming about devour-
ing waste material from that YES
sci. The custom house guard in a
boat near by threw one of his oars
at the fish and succeeded in chas-
ing it off for a short time. After
returning it was allowed to swim
about unmolested. Sharks have
been seen frequently in the harbor
since the restriction was placed on
fishing. Several persons were talk
ing of going out with rifles to get a
shot at the monster of the deep.
Should its appearance be made
again today, danger will be in store
for the fin, which is the only por-
ton that has been observed to ap-
pear above water.
