THE MAINE STATESMAN'S REPLY. OFFICIALLY NOTIFYING MR. The Interesting Proceedings at Au- gusta Te-day. AvovsTa, Mz., June 2i.—At an early hour this morning the streets began to assume a lively ap- pearance, and long before the time set for the com- mittee appointed by the national convention to notify James G. Blaine of bis nomination to the Presidential candidacy of the republican party to perform that duty a considerablacrowd of citizens collected around the Augusta house to gaze with curlosity upon the members of the committee. A cireus being also in town brought out vast num- bers of people who,with the allied attractions of the national committee and the sawdust ring, seemed disposed to make the day a general ‘hoitday, Promptly at 11 o'clock the national committee of notification proceeded in a body to Mr. Blaine’s residence, where they were received by Mra. Blaine. As the day was oppressively hot and the rooms of the mansion were crowded almost to suffocation ft was suggested that the presentation of the addresses be Inade upon the lawn. Accordingly the committee and guests pro- ceeded to the well-shaded portion of the grounds, where a semi-circle was formed, and all present stood with uncovered heeds, making an impressive scene, the rustling of spreading branches of great elms ‘and the buzzing of insects being the only sounds to disturb the stillness. When all was in readiness, Mr. Blaine was escorted to the lawn, where he stood within the arc of the semt-circie, Gen. Henderson’s Remarks. Gen. Henderson then stepped forward and pre- sented the address of the committee. Reading from manuscript, he spoke as follows: “Mr. Blaine: Your nomination for the office of President of the United States by the national republican convention, re- cently assembled at Chicago, 1s already knowh to you. The gentlemen before ‘you, constituting the ‘cominittee, composed of one member from each state and territory of the country, and of one from the District of Columbia, now come as the accredit ed organ of that convention to give you formal no- tice of nomination, and to request your acceptance thereof. Its of course known to you that beside your own, several other names among the most. honored in the counctis of the republican party were presented by their friends as candidates for this nomination. “Between your friends and friends of gentlemen so justly entitled to the respect and confidence of thelr politieal associates the contest R- | Injustice. | ot Colunibia, and pursuant to an order | ue 21, 1884, in the suit of the United States of cave.

Mr. Blaine Accepts. Mr. Blaine listened to Gen. Henderson's address, standing under an elm tree with lls arms folded on his chest and his eyes cast down, but at times wan- dering about and seanning the faces of the au- dience. Gen. Henderson had concluded speaking. Walker Blaine, the candldate’s son, stepped for- ward and handed his father the manuscript of an. address in reply to that of the committee. Mr. E ine then read as follows: ‘rman and gentlemen of the national I recetve, not without deep sensibility, al notice of the action of the national con- ly brought to my knowledge through | Lappreciate more profoundly unin ah eXpress the honor which fs implied In the nom- ination for the Presidency by the repuhiican party | aking tlirough authoritative volce lited delegates, to be selected as a such an assemblage from a lst of en Whose names were presented, Mls Me with embarrassme my gratitude for so signal a I can only exp honor, and my de: oppressed with a sense of the labor and ¥ which attach to my position.

At the conclusion of Mr. Blaine’s reply members of the committee were introduced to him indl- vidually and an hour was spent 1n social informal converse. Members of the committee then repaired to the residence of Col. H. 8. Osgood, where they were entertained at lunch, and at one O'clock they left for Portiand, where they will have a reception this evening. Ses ‘The Garrison Failure, New York, June 21.—Melville C.

A special dispatch from Albany to John Kelly's Paper says that a changehas apparently come over the Cleveland element there since the Saratoga re- verse. The failure to secure an instructed dele- gation is as much a matter of surprise to the Cleveland boomers as the success of Mr. Flower would have proved. Still, they cling tenactousty to the conviction that he'will be pusted at Chi- cago, aud some evén clam that they will be able to sweep tne convention by storm. ‘The same dispatch says that the Albany Times of last night states some new matters which make Gov.

These were bills which the workingmen prayed for all over the state.

Mr. Van Wyck reviewed the financial course of the Union Pacitic railroad and the relations of that company with the government of the United States. He insisted that for twenty years the railroads had controlled the government, as shown, in his opin- fon, by the operations of’ the land department; the eplnions of the Attorneys General and some of the decistons of the Supreine Court. He said that Charles Francs Adams was seeking, In the interest of abankrupt debtor, to negoulate with Congress. He spoke of the Union eas aconcern of wa- stock and worthless bonds.

"That committee had re- ported a bill early this session to amend the Thur- man act, but the Senator from Nebraska (Mr. Van Wyck) was wholly mistakén in his supposition, or in his reading of the public press, that the judicl- ary ay iny action it had taken, was in an: m_ consider this subject. ‘The matter to which the press and the Benatar seal referred was who! ferent matter from that dealt with by the’ bill that had just come from the House of Representatives, and ‘aiso different from the subject-matter dealt with in the Dill re ony this seaaion iby Mr. Garland from the Toate com! ‘course, the matter won! of the relations of the railroads to the nn Tnment, but the special matter referred to was 8 different matter to that covered by the bills To ferred to.
