Last Nights Caucus.

1t was a splendid gathering OF Au-
gusta Republicans that assembled In
City hall, last evening, for the purpose
of electing delegates and alternates 10
the State convention at Bangor. NOT
withstanding the almost universal SEN
timent in Mr.. Cobbs favor that existed
among the voters of the city, and the
general knowledge that no attempt
would therefore be made to oppose
his candidacy, the rank and file OF the
party attested their interest in the oc-
casion by turning out in force. IL WIS
a splendid caucus, and the ringing APP
plause that greeted the mention OF MI.
Cobb's name showed how strong is the
hold of this clean, strong and able man.
upon the hearts of our citizens. .lhc

the name of Mr.. Cobp' "dS
an admirable one. No man in Maine
enjoys a closer acquaintance Win 'le
popular Rockland candidate, ana none
is better able than he, to speak from
personal knowledge. of the hlsh per
canal attributes which have commend
ed Mr.. Cobb to the favor OF ms lelioW
citizens. Unquestionably the methods
adopted by some of Mr.. cobb's oppo-
nents, in attempting to conduct SAND
bag campaign, were powerful factors,
when contrasted with the clean and
courteous canvass conducted by Mr..
Cobb and his friends, in crystallizinG
public sentiment in this vicinity, and
contributed powerfully to the decisive
result i'm last nights caucus. There is
no question but what this style of
campaign has reached its elimination.
The reaction has set in. and the result
is being shown in the election of Cobb
delegates. The warm interest that is
felt in the Rockland candidate by
voters in this section of the State was
very clearly shown, last evening. i'll

Journal office relative to the caucus i'll

Of approval at its result The tide is
certainly with Mr.. Cobb in this can

only resulted thus far in raising up
new friends for him.

The death Of President CandamO of
Peru is especially unfortunate at this
time, because he is one of the few men
ever at the head of one of the smaller
American republics, who had the I'M
divided respect and confidence of his
years. and during that time Peru has
been spared the political revolts which
EIark the history of most of it's sister
republics. His DEATH as we said, Is
especially regretable at this time be-
cause the boundary dispute between
Brazil and Peru appears to be rapidly
approaching a crisis.

1t is no joke TO be bitten by a
pickerel. We have dim recollection
OF story by a Maine newspaper
humcrist about a farmer who proposed
to sue the fish and game commissioners
because the pickerel had bitten his son
while the young man was wading out
after pond lilies. This was the same
farmer. by the way, who sent in COM
plants that the cartridges were ruin
Ing his apple crop and that the bass
and perch were coming ashore and
eating his clover tops. Well, out in

poisoning from the effects of a bite
upon his finger by a pickerel which he

The good word from Franklin county

futility and worse of the attempt of
some of the opponents of Hon. w. T..

Governor, to defeat him by assailing
his reputation. The effort to make the
people believe that the Rockland man
did something dishonest and UNDER
handed i'll connection with the Eastern

completely, but it has actually had the
effect of increasing Mr.. Cobb'S support.
He has been conducting such Il gentle

any way, shape or manner, that it is
impossible not to admire it. 1t has been
