The Democratic state committee calls
a convention in each congressional dis
trict to select two district delegates and
one deiegate-at-Iarge to the national
convention. thus doing away with the
state convention. The Republican way
Is better. It assemblies the Republic
cans Of the state in convention to
choose the four delegates at large. and
the Republicans OF each district meet
within the district to select district
delegates. The Republican state COM
mlttee has nothing to do with calling
the district conventions. That is the
work OF the congressional committee.

to himself: Behold my enemy, asleep

A Rift in the luse for Augusta.

The burning of the Opera House
Block on the eve of the great celebra-
tion in this city was a loss which every
citizen felt in sense to be personal.
and occurring just at the time it did
was perhaps the more keen. No city
could have a place for theatrical and
+ operate entertainment better suited to
its needs than had Augusta when Mr.
Haynes, who gave to the enterprise his
personal supervision. excellent judg-
, nent, critical and cultured taste and
unstinted expenditure had completed
/ the structure
1t is fortunate that at this time we
have the facilities which the City Hall
, affords for stage entertainments on a
large scale, but this is really no sub
| stitute for an Opera House, nor was it
| intended to be. at best it will be but
a nakeshift and we trust will in no
wise deter the replacing Of the struct-
urc just destroyed. Through Mr..
Haynes enterprise in providing a thea
tre which in itself was source of
| enjoyment and pride and an induce
ment for attendance upon first class
| theatrical attractions, and his success
| in securing the best of management
under Mr.. Owen, the taste of the peo-
pie has been cultivated, a wider appre-
| citation of the best in those classes of
| entertainment has been aroused and
educated and a demand has been
| created The public will not be con-
! tented with less than they have had
and we believe that their patronage,
under such conditions as have existed
since the Opera House was opened will
naturally increase and be profitable.

the Democratic national platform and
nonlinates an avowed free silver candi-
date to stand upon that platform the
Democratic party stands before the
world unuuestionably committed to the
cause of free silver and fifty per cent

for that electoral ticket votes for free
silver, gives the world to understand
that he is committed to that doctrine
and believes in it regardless of how he
votes for congressman. Every attempt
to blind the eyes of the voter to this
glaring fact is an attempt to establish
silver monometalism in this country.

value. Events of this character serve
to stimulate local pride and Datrio-
tism, and TO cultivate in the communi-
ty that spirit of cooperation and mu-
tual helpfulness, which tends to build
up a live spirit of enterprise and pro-
gress, and to strengthen and solidify
the spirit of social unity which is so es-
sential to the prosperous life of any
city.
We are aware that our people have
sometimes been accused of lacking the
spirit of local enterprise and push to be
found in other cities of the State, but
the magnificent celebration of Satur-
day was most effectual disproof of
any such charge. 1t demonstrated to
the whole State the fact that it is pos
sible in Augusta to enlist, in a general
and active way, the local pride and en-
ergy of the entire community, and
The magnificent decorations that lent
beauty and charm to the city's great
gala day were not confined to the busi-
ness portion of the city, nor to any par
ticular residential section. They We're
foundin all parts of the city and among
all classes of it's people. The poor and
the well-to-do alike contributed in a
degree to the artistic work of making
the city beautiful and attractive upon
this great gala day, and the result was
one which all citizens could well COM
template with genuine pride.
The committee, who has had charge of
this celebration in its various depart
ments, has been indefatigable in its
labors to make every portion of it a
pronounced and memorable success, and
are entitled to the sincere and grateful
thanks of the community. To Hon. p.
Q. Vickery, in particular. is due the
lions share of credit for this successful
celebration. He has devoted himself to
the work with characteristic energy,
and our people long since came to
know that whatever he took hold of. in
the interests of his beloved city, was
to be carried through to success. He
has been 4 most untiring and ener-
Gctic general; no detail has been too
snail TO receive his careful attention
and he has organized and directed the
able corps of assistants who have been
associated with him in the work with
the consummatcs Skill Of a born organ-
ger
The sincere thanks of our people are
also due the various organizations
that contributed so generously to the
the gentlemen who participated in
the parade of antiques; to those who
assisted in making the grand parade
such a marked success: to the firemen
whose presence in the parade, and
whose Nellfought prize contests af-
1orded such conspicuous and pleas
ing feature to the days festivities; to
ALL in fact, Wllo assisted in making the
day success in spite of the discourag
ing weather
1t will probably be some years to
come before the city of Augusta will
again have a Fourth of July celebra-
ton, aud when it does we trust that
skies may smile more kindly upon us
than they did in the year 1896.

Ice Business on The Penobscot.

The ice trade on the Penobscot Is
rather quiet up to date. and not much
Improvement is looked for until the
middle of July. A considerable amount
of ice sold previously on long time con-
tracts is going forward. mostly TO Phil
adelphia. but no new sales are reported
and no brisk movement is TO be expect
ed until q period of decidedly warm
weather strikes the middle states. says
the Bangor News.
At present the thin ice harvested in
Virginia, Pennsylvania. Maryland and
New York is being disposed of: also the
second quality of Hudson ice. but later
on the heavy. solid ice from Maine will
be called for and then trading is eX-
pected to be lively.
As to prices. there is not much upon
which to base quotations. but so to
30 centswould covcrany transactions at
this time. Later on, holders of first-class
ice expect 81 to s1.25. Whether or not
they will get it tdepends largely upon the
state of the weather.
AS to freights,it can only be said that
those who hoped for so to 20 cents
have been disappointed. Most of the
tonnage controlled by the so-called
New England Vessel Owners associa-
ton has been south, or i'll the Nova
Scotia coal or plaster trades. so il has
mattered little to them what the rate of
ice freights has been. Up to this time
perhaps 60 cargoes have been shipped.
and the same prices have been paid to
anybody who has come along-59 cents
to New York. 40 and IS to Philadelphia,
The New York rate is higher than the
Philadelphia because of the poorer
facilities for discharging at New York
and the better chance of getting return
coal freichts at Philadelphia.
