Senator Frye.

There is strong desire among the Republic
cans Of Belfast and vicinity to hear the voice
of Senator Frye in the campaign now fairly
opened. No more effective speaker has ever
addressed our people, and nowhere has he
warmer friends or more sincere admirers than
in Waldo county. OF course we cannot cx-
pect to nonopolize him on that ground. for
these sentiments are common throughout
Maine, aud wherever Senator Frye has al-
dressed the people. Nor has be ever failed to
respond to calls Of this kind and it is ONLY be-
cause OF important duties in Washington that
ne remains in the Senate Chamber. when he
would vastly prefer talking to his friends at
home. Two matters the fishery treaty and
tie tariff question. have detained him at the
National Capitol, and now that the former has
been disposed Of there are hopes that Mr..
Frye may be able to come to Maine for week
or two during the campaign. This will be good
news to Republicans.
