JOHN LAHEY'S DEATH.
Fact and Rumor Concerning the
Lewiston Murder.

LEWISTON, Aug. 6.-The coroner forbids
the publication Of the testimony in the case
of the murdered man Lahey. In the darkness
of the night the deed was not distinctly wit
messed. A relation Of the deceased says he
walked up Knox street with him, when he
left with a pleasant good night. He had
gone, by measurement today, sixty-eight
yards when the alarm was heard. Hurrying
back, he found Lahey dying Byron Kelley
heard the outcry and saw the deceased and
Jerry McGillicuddy in tussle. He saw
thrust made and then Lahey staggered.
Pretty soon they said he was stabbed Dur
ing the fight old man McGillicWddy kept say
ing: Let me at him!'' McGillicuddy re-
members everything clearly up to 9 o'clock,
but processes oblivion beyond that hour. He
says he was too drunk to remember. There
are rumors, however, that he shows an incli-
nation to confess. The impression is that an
old feud was awakened by liquor and that
Lahey and Conners were followed and stab
bed in the dark. Lahey was buried today

Veteran Republicans.

This Is one thing rain does not dampen
and that Is the aIdor Of the Veteran Repub-
lican Club. They turned out In large num-
bers last night to hear Republican tenets 70
asserted by Mr.. Alfred Roberts Of Old
Orchard. He said at the outset that he
voted for Mr.. Lincoln and was proud Of il
and had never since that day voted any
thing but the Republican ticket. Proceed
ing he said; "While l am aware that the
Republican party is not perfect still do
believe that 1t has done more good for this
country than any other party has ever done
for this or any other country" He referred
briefly to the line Of Republican Presidents
who have done honor to the party, honor 10
the country and honor to themselves. Ofthe
grandeur Of Lincoln, the heroism Of Grant,
the purity Of Hayes and the modesty and
chivalric loyalty to truth that made Garfield
leader, though by no means the least, our
standard bearer Of 1884 is perhaps the man
that is better fitted to perform the duties Of
that Office than any other" James G. Blaine.
And though he is so many miles away from
here yet we seem to hear and have heard his
every football on the other side. at least the
Democratic party has heard them all and /
believe tonight they dread his landing on
this shore, thatl they dread to hear what
thoughts he shall utter upon the great ques-
tion Of protection to American industries.
For he is the man Of all others best fitted TO
discuss this important policy"
Mr. Roberts spoke upon the difference in
the price Of American and English labor
showing how impossible it was for us to
compete with them. The matter OF the re-
duction in the price of nails from s4.C0
keg in 1888 as delivered In this country by
England and the present price Of S2.s5 keg
at which they are now produced at home
was clearly demonstrated to be the result Of
the high tariff imposed "It did not In this
ease," he said. "leave the result as Mr..
Cleveland stated in his message Of raising
the price, the amount of the tariff placed on
the article. "Cheap labor means cheap
homes, cheap schools, cheap education
cheap living"
The attitude Of the third party men and
the suicidal nature Of their work for the
cause Of temperance was considered and the
desertion Of the Republican party by some
Of the temperance men shown to be an en-
deavOr to kill the very party that had been
Of the greatest aid to them.
Mr.. ROberts's remarks were frequently ap-
plauded and at the close he was given a
hearty vote of thanks.
