Democratic Flag Raising In Belfast.

The Democrats of Belfast opened their cam.
paign last Saturday evening by displaying
large flag bearing the names of their nomi-
nees. Notice had been given in the newspapers
ana by hand bills, but the crowd small and
almost wholly confined to our towns people.
When we say the affair was tame one we do not
express the sentiments of the Republicans alone,
but Of many Democrats The only redeemng fea-
lures were the very handsome flag and the excel
lent music by the Linconvie band.
oar Democratic friends had hard luck in select
ing place to display their bunting. First Il wire
was stretched from the roof of the Custom House
building to r. Frank Pierccs but this did give
the required height. Next the wire was put across
Main street from the Custom House to the chin
ney of the IIaraden building A piece of timber
was dashed to the chimney, but when the wire
hauled taut the chimney gave way. Finally the
wire was made fast to a large tree opposite the
Custom House. 1t WAS considered important to
display the flag from the government building, for
official remarked, ut has been twenty five
years since we have had that privilege"
Early saturday evening the Lncolnville Ran'
marched up Main street and taking position in
Custom House Square played several excellent Sc
lcctions. The crowd then assembled. At 30 two
men mounted the roof of the Custom House and
ran out the flag The band struck up lively air,
but there was not cheer from the audience.
Whether the shouters absent whether
their part of the programme was overlooked is
not known. 1t seemed rather remarkable to have
campaign nag run out in profound silence. 1t
appeared more like funeral than scene of rc
joicing.
The flag is a large AMI one. Across the top

The National Committee.

The Republican party and its candidates arc
to be congratulated OH the we'll done work OF
the National Committee. Senator Matthew
Stanley Quay of Pennsylvania is just the man
for the craftsmanship. lie has long head. a
still tongue, keen eye for weak points of the
enemy, fine scent for the tendencies of pro.
gressive public opinion, shrewd faculty for
conciiating al! classes of voters, and withal a
tightening quickness of decision and action at a
critical moment. He is ambitious to make a
good record for himself, and will make It.
The Democratic brag and bluff about walk
over will! now stop. With Senator Quay in
charge of the Republican campaign the Demo-
Gratis have as desperate a Struggle before them
with victory, with bands playing and banners
flying, they invaded Pennsylvania and looked
upon the frowning hills of Gettysburg. [The
