The Portland Press takes occasion to
inform republican papers which predict
that the democrats will make no effort to
get out party vote, that such statements
unless upon the best authority are danger
Gus in the extreme, for they tend to pro-
duce apathy and inactivity in the republic
can ranks. The Press declares that the
democrats are not inactive and will make
a vuiet but strong fight this fall. To avoid
all danger, town COMMITTEES are urged to
make immediate measures to secure a full
republican vote.

the former Of whom lodged 1t tho camp,
have been arrested, and after examination
before Justice Sharp, Antonio was Gem
mitted to answer. George Barstow, Of

scene Of the murder at daylight this morn
ing, and then came on to this place and
attended to tho case - counsel for the
