To ct all adequately describe the city
of Portland, tho metropolis of Maine,
would require column upon column OF
space. In the brief space at our COM
mand it will be only possible to allude
to few Of tho many points of interest
which are associated with the name OF
Portland, the city of broad avenues and
stately trees, Of fine residences and refined
and intelligent people, of fine schools and
noble public buildings, the "Forest
City," Longtellow's beautiful "City by
the Sea" and thu home of ''Tom Reed -
Portland is beautifully situated on the
shores of Casco Bay, body of surprising
loneliness, with countless 'safe harbors''
as tho carly explorers were won't to write
of 1t, and containing three hundred and
sixty five islands,-one for every day OF
the year. These islands furnish summer
homes for thousands upon thousands OF
people from every nook and corner OF
these broad United States, and numerous
lines of steamers furnish means of con-
slant communication between them and
the city.
The fame of Portland's Harbor is world
wide. 1t is unsurpassed Oh the Atlantic
coast. Up to its docks can come with
safety the largest vessels that sail the
sea. Steamer lines to New York and
Boston make frequent trips as do steam
ers to Bar Harbor and the famous coast
resorts and to the Maritime Provi noes.
Three lines of transatlantic steamers
made Portland their winter port
Portland is The terminus of four rail-
way systems, the Boston & Maine, Maine

The city has population Of about 40,
600 people in the city proper and numer-
GUS large and growing suburbs. It's re-

ancient town Of Falmouth. 1t was first
settled By George Clesves and Richard
Tucker il 1889 and !. handsome monu-
ment On tbs Eastern Promenade now

town Was several times destroyed in the
French and Indian wars. Portland wa:

vioIs to 1881. In 1775 Captain Mowatt
and his British fleet bombarded and
nearly DESTROYED the city. On July 18th
1865 q third Of the city was de stroyed by
fire. Despite these blows the growth OF
Portland has boon healthy and steady.
The health of it's people is good, the
credit of its merchants ranks high, its
manufacturing industries ara prosperous,
its debt is small, tho city well governed,
its natural beauty and surroundin as un-

speaker of the house for the year fol-
lowing. The signal ability with which
the duties of that Office were administered
caused his election in 1859 to the Senate
branch Of the law-making body of the
State. There he represented the con-
stituency of Kennebec county until he
resigned to accept position he was we'll
qualified to fill, that of Acknowledgements
OF the State. After attending to the
duties of this Office for TWO terms, he de-
clined further political preferment and
in 1860 took up his residence in Portland.
Here his known qualifications as law
yer and law maker again forced him into
the service of the people as q member of
the legislature where he was for the
third time chosen to preside over the de-
alterations of a legislative body and
form it's committees. Mr.. Josiah II.
Drummond has been many times spoken
of as q candidate for Governor of the
State and one who would ably represent
it in the U. S. Senate, and also could
have honorably occupied position on
the Supreme bench of Maine, had he
cared for the position. But Mr.. Drum
mond prefers the practice of his profess
sion in which he stands as one of the
ablest lawyers at the Maine bar with
lucrative practice as the counselor and
advocate of many important corporations.
