THE STRIKES.
A Raise Demanded.


NEW YORK, June 29.-Brakemen on the
New York Central and Hudson River Railroad
have made demand on their employees for
$50 per month. If they do not receive satis-
factory answer tonight it is said they will
strike and leave their trains wherever they
may happen to be.
The Freight Handlers.
The freight handlers and corporations are
still at variance and there is little change to-
day in the condition of affairs. The same
blockade of freight laden trucks exists although
new hands are beginning to handle the freight
a little better.
Forestalling a Strike.
BOSTON, June 29.-The Boston, Lowell &
Concord Railroad to-day increased the wages
of freight handlers to $1.50 per day and the
men resumed work.
The Eastern and Boston & Maine roads also
advanced their freight handlers pay to the
same figure, thus forestalling contemplated

THE LEWISTON CONVENTION.
Some Comments on its Doings ana Mis-

A WEAK PLATFORM.
Bangor Whig.1

The platform promulgated at Lewiston is the
most demagogical and weak string of cant
phrases and square contradictions that has ap-
peared within our knowledge Of politics. We
shall refer to some of its mischievous and
tricky features hereafter, but at this time 1t is
only necessary to ask sensible men to peruse
the document and ask themselves if it could be
duplicated for incoherency anywhere outside
of lunatic asylum. The fact is that the men
who went to Lewiston fully recognized that
the State of Maine is to be redeemed by the
Republicans this year, and their hopelessness
was conspicuously advertised by the stolid in
difference with which the cut-and-dried pro-
gramme was put through.
