Maine Democrats cannot vote for
listing conditions, without impressing
the country that they voted for free
silver and the anarchstic, Populistic
national platform. That's a fact, gen
tlemen, which cannot be successfully
denied and should not be overlooked.

oppressive and rcpelant doctrine would
feel constrained by a sense of party 10y
atty to accept it if it came as the calm
and deliberate judgment of an honestly
conducted convention. But if the ascen-
dancy of an issue borrowed from the
Populists is ACCOMPANIED by revolution
airy and destructive tactics and an inso-

of Masons, of Townsville, was deliver
ed last nightin the Presbyterian Church
at that place by Frank E. Anderson,
esq, of this city, the chief of the law
division of the Pension Office. MIR.
Anderson's subject was Kisses" and
with what might seem to be difficult
subject he constructed a very interest
ing and entertaining lecture, which was
replete with humor and pathos, quick
transitions from the sublime to the
ridiculous, good advice and funny
stories. During the course of his talk
he read several poems, some of which
were original. The audience was mole
appreciative than large, owing to the
fact that an important meeting of the
Langley Conversation Club. on the sub
ject of good roads, and dance at Mr..
Richard Hunley's, were being held at
the same time. Added to these the
inclemency Of the weather "a real OBJ

many away. But, nevertheless, there
were a goodly number present who
were in thorough sympathy with the
speaker and very appreciative. Mr..
Anderson was the guest of Mr.: John S.

LADY RoBBED.-About six O'Clock
Yesterday evening Mrs. Gregory, wild
ow Of ;. F. Gregory, was robbed Of her
pocketbook in front of Justice Whittle-
sey's office. on the south side of Duke
street near Washington. Mrs. Gregory
had previously left the postotlice where
she had received her mail, which in
cluded a registered letter from her son
in New Orleans containing fifty-five
dollars. She had walked up Prince
street aud down Washington to Duke
when she turned to the east for the
purpose of going to her home on ST.
Asaph street. Her pocketbook was on
her arm at the time, and as she passed
the corner of Washington and Duke
streets two men who had been stand
ing there started to walk in the direc-
ton she took. One of these, who was
a short and stout young man, walked
briskly and left his companion, and
when he came alongside of Mrs. Greg
DRY he pulled the pocketbook from her
arm and ran. His companion followed,
and both FASTENED down Washington
street to Wolfe and entered the alley
on the south side of that street, be-
tween Washington and Columbus.
The partner Of the thief, who was the
taller of the two, soon emerged from
the alley into Columbus street, and
there being at the time some commo-
ton in the neighborhood over the
high-handed robbery, he mingled with
the crowd and expressed his righteous
Indignation at the act. OF course the
real thief escaped in the meantime.
The robbery was reported at the sta
ton house and officers were started in
every direction for the purpose of rum
J ming down the thieves. Officer Wilker-
son aud Mr.. j. T. Beckham, jr., in their
search found one of the letters taken
from Mrs. Gregory in the yard attach
ed TO the st. Johns Academy building,
near the mouth of the alley on Coluu-
4 bus street. The envelope was subse-
Squently discovered on the pavement
X this morning. Officers Atkinson, Davis
Sand Wilkerson found the registered
letter in which the money had been
#sent and some street car tickets in the
Ayard of Mr.. Emerson's residence, south
81 west corner of Duke and Payne streets
but who were the.thieves? That was
xthe question which agitated every one.
q Some were positive that the act was
n committed by tramrs, while others
@Tere equally satisfied that local thieves
4were the guilty parties. Three men
8 VIM. Scott, Edward Schydecker and
g Robert l.. Jones-were arrested on sus-
SSpclon, but in the examination this
