MAINE OFFICE SEEKERS,
stili Struggling for Places at the Crib.

Chairman Brown does not seem to be en-
couraged at the prospect of changes in the
Maine offices. General Stevenson is awav
and the fourth class post offices await his
return. The President has thus far shown
little disposition TO take up any of the Maine
matters. Brown said tonight that he had no
lntimaton as to what would be done in ref
erence to any of the offices or when action
will be taken. As far as the principal places
are concerned, he saws the cases are fully
before the president, the evidence closed, and
nothing left to be done but TO wait The
President does not seem to be in
any haste in taking them up. The
Portland Collectorship and the Bangor,
Lewiston, Thomaston and other offices which
were before the President a few days ago
have, he says, again been laid aside. and the
resulsis in doubt. He does not think the de-
lays are likely to bring out new candidates
now. The prospect for dark horses would
not be good. The cases are virtually closed
In reference to several of the effices the
President refuses to hear anything further
Concerning the Presidential Post Offices in
Maine, Chairman Brown says nearly all
should be changed. Charges are on file and
good reasons presented for changes in almost
every case. If the President should agree to
turn his attention to Maine for a few DAYS, he

The ten corn factories belonging to the
Portland Packing Company all closed work
last Saturday. Sept 20. except two; the one,
At Sebago Lake, which had one more DAYS
work, and the one here which closed Thurs
day noon. The prospect now is that this
WHIRLPOOL factory in few years is destined
70 become the best 10 the State. With an
acreage 10 per cent less than some of the
other factories, Winthrop has packed 4O. 1000
cans more than any other factory belonging
to the company. Taking last year, which
was fully an average year, as q standard of
comparison, the yield this year has given
about two-thirds crop, the average yield per
acre being in the same proportion. The
cold weather in August was what damaged
the crop. While the yield is ligh. the quality
OF the corn is good. 1t has taken three
weeks longer however, to pack on account of
being Obliged to stop work several DAYS for
want of material. The company put in this
year new steam press with packing capaci.
ty of 36, 900 cans per day They have only
run half OF the cutting machines and one
table this year and have employed only ITO
persons, huskers and all, which is about two
thirds the number employed last year. The
largest number of cans packed in any one day
TINS year was IA 900 against l9, 800 last wear
The whole number Of cans packed was 2l6,-
900. The company have 20, 900 cans left over
