some OF the staunches finest, swittest
vessels in the American merchant
marine, Carrying the stars and stripes

From the days OF the chubby little
Diana. built in 1898. until the great
steel D.r;gs, built in 1894, this house
has leadthe country in designs for mer.
chant vessels. Beginning under Will
liam D. Sewall in 1882, the house has
been continuous, and too day owns the
largest merchantmen feet under our

by his sons under the name Of E and
a. Sewall, which has since become ar
thur Sewall 81 Co., with Arthur Sewall,
Maine member OF the national Demo
cratic com mittee and Democratic nomi
nee for Vice. President.
The Sewalls are OF an old and illus
trious family on both sides of the water.
The first American Sewall came here N
1884 and Dummies Sewall, the grand
father OF the first ship builder, came to
hath from York, which was also in the
district OF Maine, in 1853, when he pur-
chased the tract OF land on which to
this day stands the Sewall yard and the
houses OF the Sewall family. In the
seventy one years that the Sewalls have
been building ships, they have owned
ninety-five ships. Arthur Sewall, the
present head Of the firm, is about Atty
years of age. He grew up among the
scenes Of the shipyard and seashore, &C.

which has served him we'll, not only in
that particular branch, but in many
other lines OF mercantile life.

A PROPOSED AMALGAMATION.

There now seems to be little doubt
that the free silver element will CON
troll the Chicago convention, Being in
control it will be its policy to adopt
a 10 to / platform and nominate free
silver man like Bland or Boies. In the
event it does it is understood that the
Populist and the National Silver party,
which hold their National conventions
in ST. Louis on the same day, July %,
will formally endorse the Chicago plat
form and candidate and abandon their
organizations. A circular issued from
Populist headquarters says: IF by any
chance real Democracy should triumph
at Chicago and candidate be named
whose record justifes the confidence
of the believers in monetary reform
that candidate will be taken at st.
