MAYOR HEWITT.
Renominated BY New York's Best
Citizens. Regardless OF Party.

NEW YoRK, Oct. 4.
A mass meeting that was remarkable for
high representative character was held at
Cooper Union tonight. Hon. A. s. Hewitt
was renominated for mayor. Hundreds OF
the leading citizens were present. A repub-
lican, Jacob ID. Vermilli president of the
Merchants Bank presided, and in his address
declared that party lines should disappear in
the presence of this great opportunity to con
fer boon upon the whole people by contnu-
ing Mr.. Hewitt in the mayorality. These
sentiments were re-echoed by other speakers,
democrats and republicans alike. Jas. c.
Carter, president of the Bar Association,
made stirring speech urging the absolute
need of divorcing the municipal government
from party politics. An interesting incident
of the meeting was speech made in favor
of Hewitt by jackson S. Scultz, who some
time ago had warm personal controversy
with Mayor Hewitt on q question of admin
istration.

Brunswick, Oct. 4.
Several little impromptu games of Rugby
have been played here lately. There is
plenty Of material here for a strong eleven,
and there is no reason why a Maine inter
collegiate football league should not be
formed. This would occur in the fall when
it would be too late in the season for base
ball, and would thus take the place of this
sport. This is not the first time that this
idea has been broached, and there is good
reason to believe that another fall will see an
intercollegiate football league.
The sophomore themes are due Oct. II.
