Why Fogg Was Nominated.

Mr.. Leonard H. Beals, counted in repre-
sentative from Durham, was interviewed the
other day on Foggs nomination and explained
how it happeped, by a story. He said there
was once girl who was married to an inferior
sort of fellow. She was pretty sharp and he
was pretty cheap stuff. After they were mar
ried people laughed at her and asked her why
she married the fellow. ''Well I'll tell you -
said she, she hung around me so long that 1
married him to get rid of him. ''That," con-
tlnued Mr.. Beals, SIS the reason why the
Greenbackers married Fogg. He'll put all
he's got into the fightand he'll get beat like
blanknation." Mr.. Beals also thought another
reason which had weight with the convention
was that Fogg would be the best man to de-
fend the count-out. "The issue will be forced
upon u.s. said Mr.. Beals, 'and Fogg's got
cheek and cOuraoe'

Facts Versus Fiction.

KITTERY, May %.
MR.. EDIToR:-An article in the Boston
journal of yesterday in relation to a conference
OF Republicans held in Biddeford ON Friday is
full OF errors: First, not more than thiyd of
the towns in the county were represented.
Second, Col M. f. Wentworth was not there
in connection with the meeting at all. He
went to Biddeford in the morning ON business,
and left for Kittery in the half past one train.
He is emphatically opposed to the movement,
and is for Thomas B. Reed, our present able
and popular representative, first and last, j.
M. Stone if in Biddeford at all ON Friday was
probably there as Col. Wentworth was, and
not identified with the meeting. The majority
of the delegates were from Biddeford, and the
balance were soreheeds, who claim to be
Republicans, but who having fattened on the
party for years. are now ready to vote for any
body or any thing to defeat the Republican
party. AMOURELL

Probable Lead POisOpino

The Newport Times says that Mr.. Samuel
Lancey of Hartland, for number of years
commercial traveller, representing boot and
shoe firm in Portland, died suddenly at his
home in Hartland. 1t is thought his death
was caused by lead poisoning. Some part of
his house had been painted, and as it was
rough, he had been sand-papering it down, pre-
paratory to putting on another coat, when he
inhaled so much of the dust as to cause his
death as stated.
