CALAIS, July 29.-Democratic circles in
this county are much agitated by the an
nouncement that Messrs. L...Leighton and
Horace Leighton of Columbia Falls, in this
county, have declared their intention to
vote for Harrison and Morton. The Messrs.
Leighton are of the firm of l.. Leighton &
Son, of Columbia Falls, dealers in general
merchandise and lumber, and heavy owners
in shipping. They are this year building a
vessel at Columbia Falls, and they also are
the proprietors of the Columbia Falls Can
ming Company. They are among the most
prominent and influential business men in
Washington comfy. They have always
been Democrats, standing high in the coun-
ellis of the party in this county. Mr.. Horace
Leighton has been twice the Democratic can
didate for sheriff of Washington county, in
1884 and again in 1886.
AS would be expected, the announcement
of their decision created no little consterna-
tion among the Democrats hereabouts, and a
delegation of prominent party leaders went
over to Columbia Falls to interview the
Leightons. They were very courteously re-
ceived by Mr. Horace Leighton, and at once
began to put in the missionary work. But
he stopped them with the declaration: Eyes,
gentlemen, / shall vote for Harrison and
Morton and protection. cannot stand this
free trade programme of the Democratic par
ty any longer. 1t will ruin the business of
this place and of good many other places
throughout Maine. 1t is no use for you to
demonstrate. 1 am going to vote for the pol
icy that means prosperity; and what is more,
1 am going to use all my influence to get 9TH
ers to vote the same way"
As both of the Leightons have great deal
of infuence-in this county, this statement
did not make the visiting delegation very
happy.
Preparing to Greet Mr.. Blaine.

The Shore Line.

MAcHIAs, July 2S.-A reporter called on
Colonel Greene tonight to get some informa-
tion on the new Shore Line. Colonel
Greene said "The Shore line is now sure
thing. / mean to push the work as fast as
can and have the road completed as soon as
possible. Cherryfeld gives $4,000; Har-
rington, $500; Columbia Falls, $500; Colum-
bia, $500; East Machias, $4,000; = Machias,
$4,000; and the other small towns along the
surveyed line give in proportion. Pembroke
has not voted yet. Eastport is heavily in
debt, and they cannot bond the town for
much more, so | don't know yet exactly how
much they will aid altogether. Whatever
they do give will be raised by subscription,
and by direct tax. Several parties have al
ready offered from $4,000 to $4,000 each. You
see Eastport is going to receive great bene-
fit from the road, for it will be the terminus,
and they will probably furnish from $4,000
to $4,000 in ALL" Colonel Greene added
that the road would not be extended to
Calais.

OLD ORCHARD MEETINGS.
The Services and Exercises at the
Beach Yesterday.

OLD ORCHARD, July 29.-Two thousand
people assembled at the Methodist Camp
Ground at Old Orchard today, to attend DIR.
McLean's holiness meeting and listen to
Bishop William Taylor, the ounder of the
self-supporting missions of Africa. The
love feast in the morning was attended by a
large number of visiting clergymen. Among
the principal speakers were Rev. A. Mclean,
Boston; Rev. Mr.. Pike, South Carolina; Rev.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lowery, of New York. and
Rev. A. Graham. of New York. Bishop Tay-
l0r's remarks were especially pithy 81
would rather spend the next twenty years in
Africa" said he, "than in Heaven" Rev.
A. Mclean conducted the opening exercises
of the forenoon and then gave way to Bishop
Taylor, who preached an interesting sermon
on "God's way of teaching mankind" He
started with the thought that the whole hu-
man race enters life on equal moral standing
and followed the idea to conditions existing
where civilized and savage races diverge. In
the afternoon, Bishop Taylor gave talk on
self supporting mission work. He gave an
account of interviews with the sovereigns of
the old world relative to the opening Of mis-
sion fields. 81 never go to kings" said he,
unless have business with them, and then
l go fearlessly." He described his method
OF starting missions. First he comes to an
understanding with the kings and chiefs,
who agree to grant lands, etc., for the mis-
sion. Then the natives are taught both the
elements of education and work He has
bought and built thirty-two houses in the
last three years. He walked six hundred
miles the first year and five hundred the next
His African labors are along a coast of two
thousand miles in the torrid zone He has
lately founded missions in Aspinwall. The
Anglo-Saxon race he finds better for the work
at present, but soon graduates from Southern
colleges will be of service.
The Chautauqua meetings at Ocean Park
were very interesting today. A conservation
meeting was held at $50 and devotional SER
vice later. The morning sermon was preach
ed by Rev. DR.. Dunning, of Boston, on "The
Bible and its teachings" The sacrament of
the Lords Supper was observed at the close
of the service. Rev. N. L. Whitaker, of
Portland, preached the afternoon sermon on
Redemption" A children's meeting was
held in the Curtis House at o'clock, follow
ed by woman's meeting in the chapel, con-

The Temperanoe Plank.

Mrs. j. Ellen Foster, of the Won
ems Christian Temperance Union, the
eloquent temperance lecturer recent
" said: ''That plank regarding free
whiskey, which has been referred to
as a temperance plank, was not in
trOduced as a temperance measure at
all. 1t is purely economic, and as
such is entirely proper and in &C
cordance with the protective views of
the party. But it has no significance
as representing the views of the COM
mittee or the convention on the tenn
perance question. At the same time
the repeal of the whiskey tax is some
thing that has been urged for years
by the best temperance people in the
country"
You consider Mr.. Boutelle's reso-
luton entirely satisfactory"
eyes I do, most emphatically. It
was just what was wanted from a
great Republican National Conven-
ton. Had it been temperance con
vention I would have demanded some
thing more, for 1 am Prohibitionist,
and came from a prohibition state,
Iowa. But coming, as I say, from a
National political convention, it COM
mends itself to me, possessing as it
does two important features. These
are, first-that the control Of the
liquor traffic is a matter of state leg
| islation, and not in the domain of
| Congressional action. Second-If it
were the proper subject of National
legislation it would be unwise for a
party to declare in favor of a specific
form of legislation when there is such
a divergence of views as to what the
legislation should be. The prohibi-
tory states would not be willing TO be
committed to high license, and the
party in the high license states would
resent a declaration IN favor of pro
hibition think it expresses in the
best form the present attitude of the
Republican party throughout the ma
ton toward the temperance question
: ''From letters already received,
l believe the platform satisfies the
quiet, conservative temperance PEG
l pie who desire to vote the Republican
a ticket, but who would not longer
1 affiliate with the party that remained
silent on the temperance question
OF course nothing would effect tn
return of a large majority of regula
: third-party voters. These have pass
S ed beyond the stage of argument

Mr.. J. n. Beacon, editor of the
Smith Center Pioneer was in Phil
lipsburg last Wednesday. On his
return home he printed some Obser-
vatiOns in his paper about our town.
We make the following extracts:
On arriving in the city we noticed
many new improvements going on,
among which was the bank building
by the State bank of that city, the
new three story hotel by a number Of
home capitalists, two story business
brick by VIM. Bisseu. The county
commissioners were having the court
house replastered and white coated
which will add greatly to the interior
appearance of the building. Speak
ing of the Republican rally he says
of Judge Pratt's speech: Judge
Pratt being called for came forward
and delivered one of those plain, for
chile speeches characteristic of that
gentleman. The Judge reviewed at
some length the history Of the two
great political parties from the or
| ganization of the republican party to
the present day, and In many instan.
ces showed in plain language the In
constituencies Of the democratic party
and its standard bearer. Among
! some of them was Cleveland's pre-
tense at civil service reform, his let
ter of acceptance in 1884, and the
transparent love of the democratic
party for the union soldier with it
usual democratic hedging on the tar
if issues of the day. The frequen
applause given the Judge showed tn
audience to be in full accord wit
} the speaker.
j. W. Lowe was called for an
made a short speech in which b
, showed himself to be a republica
} without a political sore spot.

A Few Suggestions About Our
County Fair.

The County Fair of Phillips cOun-
ty viii be held on the Is, 10, 20 and
q, of September. This fair can be
made a grand success if the farmers
and all classes try to make it so. J.
S. Barnes, the secretary, and the
other officers have done their part,
now will the people do theirs? The
Smith Center Bulletin publishes an
article which expresses our views so
well that we copy it entire. 1t says
the county fair this fall can be made
the best since the society was organ
lied if the people, will only take
little interest. The great trouble
with the fair is the fact that the
farmers do not place their products
and stock on exhibition as they
should. They appoint themselves
judges and decide before the fair
that everybody has better wheat
corn, apples, potatoes, chickens, hogs,
cattle etc, than they have, and of
course having come to that conclusion
they decide not to bring any OF their
things and compete for the prize.
Nearly every one of the persons will
come to the fair themselves and be-
fore leaving, again appoint them
selves judges and decide that they
can beat everything on exhibition.
What they should do, in order to
have a good fair and have a good ex-
hibit, is to decide that they will bring
such as they have, and let it do the
best it can to take the premiums
Our merchants, and what we NEAR
by our merchants are the merchant.
of the county, should take a littl,
more pains to have a nice display o
their goods. IF they don't get a pre-
MUM and make it a financial success
at the time, yet they will be we'll re
paid by the excellent advertisement
such display would give them. I
seems to us that a fair is a failure al
most without displays of this kind
Let the merchants of this city an
the other towns of this county, al
range some kind of an exhibit an
5 bring it to the fair this fall Let tn
t farmer also bring his stock and a
kinds of products, and let US have
fair this fall that we will be prou
of in the years to come.
