Catholic fathers and mothers, YOU that have

Realize your daughter or sisters in the
hands of such a villain as Grover Cleveland
Knowing Clevelands damnabe record, how
can Catholic cOnscentiUusly vote for such
a villain They cannot, and many thousands
of them will not. His defeat is marked on
the wall, notwithstanding the statement in
the democratic papers and Plaisted's New
Age in regard to knownothlngism and the
Mulligan letters, and last but not least, the
Madgan circular. | see that few demo-
cratic papers have published Mr.. Buckley
affidavit With all due respect to Mr.. Buck
ley, | would like to ask, through your paper,
who wrote the affidavit, and why it stated
that he saw piles of the circulars, and wheth-
er it is not true, as | am informed by party
whose reputation needs no certii-
cate of character, that on the eve of
her final departure from this city.
Miss-,one of the domestics in Mr.. Blaine's
home, whose name | withhold for the pres
ent, stated in the prs,nre OF several parties,
that she was pica>rb Nlrh the many friends
that she had GIadc IA Nugusto. and that prob
ably she would never turn; and wi h tears
in her eyes, stated that Mr.. Buckley had
coaxtd and leased her to get him one of the
Madigan circulars ii she could find one, that
he wanted one for Eben +. Plllsbury; and
after he had leased her several times she
finally found one and gave it TO him, and
never received it back, so that instead of
there being pile or piles in Mr.. Blaine :
hause, as reported, there was only one that
could be found, and Plaisted at his Bangor
office had plenty of them Why. then,
should not every intelligent Cotholic of this
country, and especially this city, vote for
Mr.. Blaine and rebuke the Islander and
false statements issued by the defunct dem.
ocracv i? And why did Mr.. Buckley change
| afnIayif hon
am informed by a reliable gentleman, he
told Mr. Blaine he was going to vote
| for him =? What is the matter with
Plaisted? His paper has been very tame late
| ly about the Madigan circular. In my opin-
| ion he cannot throw the authorship of the
Madigan circular on any one else, as the
Catholic voters of this country know
ing that he as well as other dem
ocratic leaders were active members of
the know nothing party. will place no conf
dence in their statements, but will do all in
their power to defeat such q party and the
seducer and betrayer Grover Cleveland.

Two games of polo were announced for the
Gardiner Coliseum last evening. The first
was between the Capitals of this city and
Mascots of Gardiner. The former won in
three straight goals. Time, 20 minutes.
The teams were about on par in rushing
but the home team excelled in guarding their
goal. The attention of the Mascots WIS
much occupied in chewing gum and eating
apples the first goal, but at the lost they woke
I'D and did some very handsome playing.
Between the games Professor Wyman gave a
performance. The second game was between
the Independents of Hsllowell and Coliseums
of Gardiner. 1t required the larger part OF
the time for the men TO repair their skates
and in the third goal the game was declared a
draw. The hoodlums were oat and yelled
