An Aged and Prominent Citizen of PORT
land Gone,

One Of the best known and highly
respected of the older residents of our
city died at half past two this morning,
Oren Ring, Esq, at the age of 70 years
and 6 months. The lateness of the
hour at which the news of Mr.. Rings
death was received, precludes any extend
ed notice. Mr.. Ring had been an intense
suffer from q lingering and painful di-
sease sar many years. standing and his
death has not been unexpected for some
time. He was one of the bcst known citi-
zens of Maine and has held many i'm
portant public Offices. He has been in
the city government of Portland, city
liquor agent, sheriff of the county and
city marshal. He was man of pro-
nounced views and strict integrity and
was always staunoh Republican. He
leaves three sons. DR.. Henry Ring of New
Haven. DR.. Frank Ring of New York city
and Dr. Charles A. Ring of Portland
with whom he resided at the time of
his death. His wife died a few years ago.
The funeral will be held at Dr. Rings
residence, 608 Congress street, next Sat-
urday afternoon at O. 20 o 'clock.

cent de Paul Then with seven assist
ants they worked all night putting up
the decorations.
How They Gathered.
AS early as seven O'Clock, the corri-
dors of the City Building were thronged
with the members of the Lincoln club
and their guests. From that time on, the
bed shoulders in the throng, for promi-
nent men were there from all parts of
Maine. AsEeight O'Clock, as the hour Of the
dinner approached, the, crowd in the cor
ridor and on the staircase became SO
dense that it was difficult to move about
in it. 1t was good Datured crowd, too,
laughing, smiling, and exchanging greet
ings and remarks. At eight O'Clock, the
doors were opened and in five minutes
the seven hundred men were inside and
seated around the tables. Every member
of the Lincoln club was there, 325 in all,
a remarkable showing. President Libby
sat at the centre of the head table. On
his right sat Governor Cleayes, Senator
John l.. Wilson of Washington, ex-Pres;-
dent Carroll W. Morrill,, and Congress-
man Alden W. Smith of Michigan. On
President Libby's left sat Mayor Baxter,
Hon. Herbert M. Heath of Augusta,
Hon. Payson Tucker, Hon. Fred N.
Dow, Hon. W. W. Thomas, Jr. Others
at the presidents table were, E. p

Mr.. Hale, Republican of Maine, asked
unanimous consent to have taken up and
passed the bill reported today, for the
observance of the 18th of February (Lin-
coins birthday as national holiday.
Mr.. Hill, Democrat of Newe. York,
SAID he intended to propose an amend
ment to the bill, but would not do 80
now, but would introduce separate bill
to eoreate Jaokson's birthday, the Sth of
january, a national holiday.
= Mr.. Hale thought 1t would be very
fitting and graceful thing to pass the bill
today, this being the 18th of February.
Mr. Hawiey, Republican of Connecti-
cut, said he did not wish to act ungrac-
iously in the matter but he was opposed
to. creating any more national holidays
There was danger, he thought, of run
nlng into the extreme, like some CEN
turles which had SO many saints days,
and people were seriously deprived of
opportunities to work. After sb oYt
pause he said: II believe I will object y
'sOf course" said Mr.. Hale, cit can
only be done by unanimous consent"
The Senate then adjourned until to-
morrow.
Mr.. Teller, Republican of Colorado, to-
day introduced in the Senate bill which
provides after July 1, 1869, allHbank notes
issued by the National Banking Associa-
tion shall be redeemed in coin when pre-

Lincoln club is to BIZ congratulated upon
the success of its sixth annual banquet,
held on the S7th anniversary of the birth
of that great American for whom the
lub is named. To the gathering as
guests came Senator John l.. Wilson of the
far away State of Washington. Represen-
tative William Alden Smith of Michigan.
Hon. Herbert M. Heath of Augusta and
Hon. Stephen O'Meara. These gentle
men and President Libby, Gov. Cleaves.
and Mayor Baxter were the speakers of
the evening.
1t was an enthusiastic gathering and
the enthusiasm, spread from floor to gal
cries. 1t showed itself in the applause
withs which the orohestra's rendition of
the chorus "Swim Out, oh Grover"
was received and from that on, during
the speechmaking the applause was fre-
quent and hearty.
1t was Lincoln day, a nd the patriotic
illusions to the martyred President were
received with may marks of appreciation.
But the greatest enthusiasm, the enthu-
siasm which made the cheers ring out
dS6iu duu dSdius WAS afouS0u Dy the
name of o great man of the present. It
was when Thomas B. Reed
was first mentioned that the hand clap
ping was drowned in the thunder. of the
cheers. And after that it was ssReed,
Reed, Roed." AS one after another the
speakers mentioned him, they were
forced to stop in ther remarks until the
applause and cheers were over. Of course.
the Maine speakers spoke of the hope and
belief of Maine people that Mr. Beed
will be the next President, and the
speakers from away voiced the same SEN
timent. Mr.. Wilson is Reed man; Mr..
Smith is Reed man, and so is Mr..
O'Meara, and their illusions to the ad-
miration entertained for MI. Reed all
over the land and the widespread expeo-
tation that he will succeed President
Cleveland kept the cheers ringing.
There are two ways of Judging
speech. One is to listen to it and form
your own opinion. The other Is to watch
others and see how many go out. Those
who left last evening were very few in
numbers. and when they did depart left

evident that they were interested in the
proceedings.
One of the features of the evening was
the cry when the speakers rose: "What's

and glass and snowy table cloths and
napkins were in themselves an adorn

was long table for the speakers and 9TH
er invited guests. At right agles to this
table and extending the entire length Of
the hall, were eight tables, at each o
which nearly one hundred of the diners
were accommodated. At the side of the
hall under the gallery was still another
table. In all there were seats for nearly
seven hundred. Over the heads of the
company waved the stars and stripes,
lines of flags extending diagonally across
the room just beneath the ceiling from
corner to corner. Over the windows were
clusters of flags and other waved from
the gallery railing. 1t was happy idea
this making Old Glory the principal
feature of the decoration. Wherever one
looked he saw the stars and stripes, a
sight in keeping with the patriotic senti-
ments Of the eloquent speakers of the oc-
casion.
But there were other features Of the
decorations equally appropriate. On the
wall above the platform was a large por
trait of the great American for whom the
club was named and whose birthday it
celebrated. The picture is one in which

after his election to the Presidency. 70

Speaker Reed, the next President. On
the other side, was large portrait of
Governor Cleaves, who was one of the
speakers. Over the Lincoln portrait were
the words s'With malice towards none,

The platform itself was transformed
into a bower of shrubbery and plants.
Evergreen was banked high against the
wall at the back of the stage. At the
front was line Of potted plants. Other
plants were placed at intervals on the
long tables and added much to the effect.
On the rear balcony hung the Lincoln

the measure defeated to 5. The signi-

opposition to the admission of Arizona
is based on the objection that the grant
ing Of statehood would increase the num-
ber of tree silver advocates in the Senate
and this was the primary cause of the
defeat Of the bill. It is also regarded as
as an indiotion of the sentiment of the

in addition to the Arizona bill, would
add six new Senators to the list Of free
