BosWoRTH POST INSPECTION.
Celebrated With supper. Speeches and
Enter; ainment.

It was wild New Years eve and q
fitting parting from old 1897, which
has witnessed SO many memorable hap
penings. The annual inspection !. of Bos-
worth Post, No. 2, took placetlast night
at the Post hall, and called out gath
ering of veterans to the number of hun
dred or more. Assistant Department
Inspector Abel d. Russell of Augusta was
the inspecting officer. The mastering
in service of the order was exemplified
and this was followed by the transaction
OF the necessary routine business of the
Post, at the close of which the members
proceeded to the dining room where the
camp fire was started and the conven-
tiopal and substantial Grand Army sup
per.
After ample justice had been done to
the eatables spread before them, Col. e.
G. Milliken raped for order and as toast
master, pleasantly introduced from time
to time the different speakers Of the eve
ming. Bright, thrilling and eloquent re-
sponses were made by Department Com
mander L.. t. Carleton, Past Department
John D. Anderson of Gray, Inspector
RUSSELL, A. S. Bangs Of Augusta, and
by MIR. Stinson, a representative of the
Harry Wessinger Tobacco company of
Louisville, KY, who was gratefully re-
membered as the gentleman who SO hand
somely entertained the Department OF
Maine at the time of the National En-
campment at Louisville. Brief remarks
were also made by Connrade Field of Gray
and several other members who were at
the table.
All of the speakers dwelt upon the nee
essity of closing up the ranks of the
Grand Army, and feeling of indigna-
tion was voiced at the many attempts on
the part of many papers throughout the
country to continually harp on what. they
were pleased to call the oppressive bur.
dens of the pension system.
At the close of the camp fire the COM
rades We're asked to stand up in token
of respect to the memory to those broth
ers who had during the past year an
swered their Jast roll call on earth and
joined the ranks of that larger army on
the other shore. The camp fire then adj
journed not however, without the most
cordial interchange of Happy New
Year. all around.

CONGRESSMAN MAGIIRE RETURNS.
AND REPUBLICANs HAVE TWO CAUSES FOR
QUALIFICATION.

AND REPUBLICANS HAVE TWO CAUSES FOR
QUALIFICATION
Washington. Dec p (SpeciaD. Representative
Mcguire. of California, appeared III the House to-
day for the first time since the beginning Of the
session. and many Of his party associates congratu
lated-no that is not the proper word-condoed
with him. When Mr. Mcguire left here last sum-
mer he did not expect to return to Washington this
winter. and advised his friends. He informed
them that, having been nominated for Governor Of
California the duties Of which Office he would he
obliged 20 take up January ], it would not be
worth his while 10 make the long journey from San
Francisco to Washington and return merely to at
tend a few sessions of tho House in December But
events did not turn out as Mr. Mcguire and his
friends confidently expected lie awoke the
morning after Election Day TO find himself de-
feated candidate instead OF Cove rnorelect OF Cali
fornia, and that the duties of the office would not
require his personal attention on and after Janu-
airy t. Mr. Mcguire. MS n faithful and consclen-
tious Representative-he had prudently RETAINED
from Northumberland to reCOns der his determna
ton not to attend tho present session of Congress
which will probably be his last ono. This radical
change i'm his plans is not wholly without its COM
pensatons He Will continue 10 draw his salary IL
a Representative until March (. and the mileage of
California Congressman amounts to Il tidy sum.
The return OF Mr.. Mcguire TO Washington under
the circumstances is a source of qualification TO
Republicans. entirely apart from the welcome he
would receive from them on account of his agreea-
bic personal qualities.
