Waterworks Proposed for Richmond
Business in the Shoe Factory.

Especial to the PreSS.1
RICHMOND. June ia town meeting has
been called to see what action the town will
take in the matter of supporting system OF
water works in the village. 1t is proposed
by certain parties, to establish system OF
pipes and hydrants throughout the village,
provided that the town will agree to~pay a
certain sum yearly for the use of the same
for fire purposes and otherwise. The water
will be taken from the Kennebec and distrib
uted from reservoir to be located about a
mile from the river, at an elevation of 200
feet above high water level. Such system
would be Of immense advantage to the vii
lage in case Of fire, the present facilities be-
ing entirely inadequate to cope with any ex-
tensive confagration.
The present superintendent in the shoe
factory, Mr.. J. G. Bailey, will shortly go to
Pittsfield, N. H., and take charge In the
stitching room of the company'S factory
there for two weeks, and afterwards spend
two weeks alternately in each place. The
factory here is on half time, with no prospect
of immediate improvement. Many opera
tives have left town to obtain work in other
places. The consequent depression in busi-
ness here will tend to like effect on the
water question.

in a corner, but in the open ace Of
day, upon a proper canvas Of their
merits, in the spirit of healthy emu
~lation, with a view to their fitness, for
the good Of the people and in the
good old Democratic way. No rever.
erend schetners, no carpet-bag manip-

party, two years ago, in the majesty
of its might, rose up and threw off the
incubus that had SO long borne il
down to the earth and placed the
Democratic party in power in. the adj
ministration Of the government.
1t is a fact undeniable, t at Presi
dent Cleveland as its representative.

which Governor Hill Of New York,
thinks, will be the main issue in the
next presidential campaign in connec
ton with the question, whether the
Democratic party has redeemed its
pledges for good government and an
increased prosperity to the country
in the event of it's entrance into
power. On this point it is quite in.
teresting as indicative Of the fulfllment
of its pledges, to read what the Re.
publican Governor of the Republican
State of Vermont has to ssy on the
subject. In his last message to the leg.
islature Of that state, recently, lie used
the following languages:
"The last two years have been the most
suspicious in the history of our state. Saw
ing banks deposits have increased over
S55O,oOO, the great industries of the state
have prospered,; and skilled and unskil ed
abor alike command fair remuneration"
This then is the attitude Of the
Democratic party Of to-day; to com.
plete the work Of reform 50 auspic-
ously begun by President Cleveland,
and its destiny, is to crush out the
corruption that, under Republican
influences, has we'll nigh destroyed the
peace and prosperity of the Nation.
This is the task before the reform
party of Canada and the gritty Dem:
ocracy of Bottineau county extends
the right hand. of fellowship to its
representatives here and asks them to
in the cause of the people against
their oppressors.
In the coming election the only
way in which your influence can be
felt in that direction, and respected
too, is in your vote for delegate to
and the legislative ticket.

cratic candidates,

AS It's a we'll known fact that a very
large proportion of the voters Of Bot
tineau county are comparatively
strangers to American politics and
have accordingly made no political or
party affiliations, we desire to present
to them, especially those who, have
heretofore claimed to be citizens of
Canada, a few facts that we trust will
incliue them to the true rSef3tni party
in this country. r."
, The liberal or reform party of
Canada had its origin in the desire
and discrimination; on the part of the
people to break down the oligarchic
~plutocraoy which especially under the
leadership Of John A. Macdonald
and his partisans, has, as the Toronto
Globe fofcibly and t~tuthfully says"
fastened like leeches on the Canadian
body polite and sucked. out its very
life blood" and today as the outcome
of the mal-administration and mis-:
government ofSir John, the Canadian
people sweat and groan- under. the
burdens 0 fexcessive taxation, brought
about by a ruinous national policy Of
a high protective tariff, scandalous
civil service, Capitalization of power
and the obnoxious use of that powkr
in the perpetuatiobh. Of men in office,
and the immunity given to monopol.
lists and'capitallsts,I railway companies
and others by controlling Legislation,
discriminating in their favor as
against the masses Of the people.
The Canadian party of reform, gritty
though it is, is still striving to correct
the abuses. that have grown up and
strengthened -: with their strength
under tie destruction policy Of the. so:
called conservation administration Of
Canada and their failuteSas yett"to
