THE MUNICIPAL CONTEST.

The nesting OF the Republican cit
committee on Thursday night has started
the municipal campaign in earnest and
from this time ON the interest will not DO
permitted to lag. The contest for the
mayoralty is of course exciting the most
attention just now. Mayor Randall has
the advantage Of being in, which gives
him the support Of most of the office hold
ers. who of course feel gratitude for their
appoin tments He has also the advan'
taoe of Alderman Rounds's support
which Is no small one since MIR. Rounds
controls good many votes. Personally
Rounds thinks we'll of Judge Robinson but
he is said to regard himsas." too conscien-
tious" to make good mayor. Hence he
is putting in what work he can down In
his ward. and while he is seeking third
term for the mayor he Is seeking one also
for himself, and judging by his past ex-
plots he has a fair chance OF getting
there, Asked II he thought the annexa-
ton of Deering might not unfavorably
effect Mayor Randall's chances he replied
in the negative, adding, by way OF expia-
nation of his confidence that Randall
was "Deering boy" Judge Robinson s
triends will make "a vigorous fight in this
ward and they claim that the fact that
until recently no WAS resident OF the
ward, and very popular there, will give
him a good many votes, but 1t Is fact
that Rounds has generally succeeded In
carving that ward when ne has been in
earnest.
I'm in Ward one the friends of both
candidates are claiming everything, and
Il is impossible to say whose claims are
the better founded. Some OF Mayor
Randall's appointments were not over
and above popular in that ward, and
there are several persons there who arc
sore over disappointment at not getting
what they expected. Some of them, now
ever, who started ont in opposition TO the
mayor have thought better of 1t and are
now supporting him, and probably the
opposition of the rest Of them will not
amount TO much.
Up to the present time there has been
more stir In these two wards than in any
other. But the pot is beginning TO boil In
the upper wards Ii has been quite gen.
orally supposed that Judge Robinson was
likely TO carry these wards, but Mayor
RandalPs friends oont,nd that they will
put up strong fight in all of them
The DeeriEg wards constitute factor
| in this contest that it is hard to predict
about. Rumors are sfioat that Deering
| is likely TO give its support in the eau
cuses to some citizen of that section, hop
ing perhaps, that 1t may by so doing hold
the balance of power and be able TO die
tate which of the two Portland candidates
shall get the nomination. But this Ii
only rumor. Apparently nothing has
been definitely decided upon. Judge
Robinson undoubtedly has great many
admirers in the town, but Mayor Randall''
friends are looking after his fences there
and expect to land some OF the
delegates unless Deering should decide
to nave a candidate of its own.

The Ubiquitous Celt.

laNoF III duCIett JlmtS Nue SeltS
gave their names tn iunumerable
rivers, seas, cities and towns through.
out Europe. They have made more
glorious history than any other race
now extant, with the single excep-
ton, perhaps, of the Latin race.
Unlike most Of the modern nations,
they we're never robber race. Re-
nowned in war the Celts were, it is
true, but they were still more re-
nowned in the arts OF peace and
civilization. The ubiquity OF the
Irish Celt has been most remarkable
in modern times. There is no coun-
try, no matter how remote and un
frequented, which has not felt his
presence and been blest by his la
bors. Illustrative OF this remark
able truth is the narrative Of Dr.
Arthur O'Neill, who has lately re.
turned from Manila in charge of the
sick and wounded soldiers.
81 was about two months in
camp" relates the medico, "when a
soldier brought me card with the
information that Spanish officer
had given it to him and wished to
see me, CHANGING over the white
cardboard, [ perceived that the
name was the same as my own. Iu
clear, neat type, | beheld 'Arthuro
O'N-ill.'
"Having ordered the soldier to
conduct the visitor to my apartment,
a tall, handsome young gentleman
soou made his appearance. No soon
or had | greeted him, than he said:
saw your name in one of the
morning papers, and Immediately
felt a natural impulse to have an in
terview with you. We have sprung,
| presume, from the same old Irish
stock. My ancestors were the o.
Neills of Ulster They left Ireland
at he close of the sixteenth century.
Since that time my family has been
rooted in Spain; but the history and
traditions of our Irish ancestry have
been transmitted to us and preserved
as most precious heirloom
Needless to say" continued DIR.
O'Neill, 'that | was delighted to
meet, in the distant Philippines,
descendant of the Ulster Chief who
outmatched and defeated the great
est generals of Queen Elzabeth's
time. The young Spanish officer
was proud of his name aud race, and
| was proud of him | tell you"
Another incident, also related by
the Doctor, will be of interest to our
readers:
"While off duty one day, in Ma
Mia, DIR. A. p. O'Brien aud myself
paid visit to the Jesuit church.
Being educated by the learned
priests of that Order, in California,
we felt, after our visit to the church,
that we ought to pay our respects
to the reverend professors at the
college. In the very best Spanish
we had, we asked the brother act
ing as porter if any OF the priests at
the college spoke English.
SIN English, every bit as good as
our Spanish, he answered affirma-
lively. Then, showing us to room,
h. went aud brought US venerable
looking gentleman who greeted us
most cordially in our own tongue
SIT is many a year said the learn
ed old Jesuit, since I had to con-
verse in the language Of my youth.
What are your names, gentlemen
"We gave him our names-O'Brien
aud O'Neill."
"Irish, Irishp he exclaimed, and
| am Irish, too. My name is Doyle,

felt a new interest in the Philip
