What They Are I'm To.


The Somerset Reporter says the Maine De-
mocrats will attempt to do three things as fol-
lows:
First-To keep the majority of Governor
Robbie at as low a figure as possible so as to
affect the October and November elections in
other Sta,es. II this majority should fall be-
low 10000 it will be claimed as a Democratic
victory and used as an argument against Mr.
Blaine.
Second-To defeat Mr.. Reed in the First
Congressional district, and Mr.. Boutelle in the
Fourth. Their only hope in doing this is
through dissensions in the Republican ranks.
Their prospect of success is not fattering in
either district, but they have way of work
ing against any and all odds as valiantly as
though invariably successful and will doubt
less so work this year.
Third-To recover some of the close counties
that they lost two years ago and among these
the County Of Somerset. Also the recovery of
close legislative districts and the cutting down
of the majority in the Legislature.
With these objects and hopes to stimulate
them, it is safe to say their efforts will be
earnest and persistent and their work thorough,
and must be met on the part of Republicans
with equally thorough work and earnest effort.
That this will be done we are well assured

About hundred spectators went to Presumpseot
Park yesterday afternoon to witness the game be-
tween the Biddefords ard Portland Reds. The
game was an interesting one up to the eighth In
ming, when loose playing on the part of the Reds
and rank decisions of the umpire, spoiled the rest
of it, The Reds had the game in their hands in the
seventh inning, when by one.of the worst decisions
ever given On ball field in this State by any umpire
the side was declared out Again. in the eighth in
ming, another bad decision was given against the
Reds on the Sd base, Dugan of the Biddefords run

uecia5ed nm not out. The minute he left the line
acquainted with the game would have decided so.
Inc Blddefords have no reason for congratulating
themselves on their victory for it was in measure

defeat, for they proved themselves fully as good
