justice which is satisfactory to the whole

So have we met all such questions. We
have given the Postofice Department its due
need OF increase. Whenever the necessities
OF the government require any addition. we
propose to give 1t to the people. Such Is the
magnificent growth of the country that we
can do this safely We have met all questions
in this spirit. There was that question
Of the currency, with widely diverse Ideas.
On the Paclhc coast and in the silver states
there was wild demand that the mints
should be opened to the free coinage of all
the silver in the world. On the other hand
there was q reasonable fear on the part of
men living In other parts of the country lest

result has been very much owing to the good
action of member of Congress from Mas
sachusetts that the righteous judgment has
been reached which seems to be sending sill
yer safely to par, to the great advantage Of
the country. The loss of the bank circula-
tlon will be made up and the circulation Of
the country be adapted to its vast and grow
ing need. This population Is growing at the
rate OF two and one-half millions year, and
its circulation increases in still greater ratio.
did not come here to outline the policy Of
the Republican party, but stopped merely to
greet you and give you the thanks OF the Re-
publican party for the help which Massa-
cnusettS mas given the party during tne year.
AT the close the Speaker was again loudly
cheered. Then Mr.. Lodge was introduced
and loudly cheered as he eloquently address
ed the meeting. Every reference to the
Speaker was loudly cheered both in Mr..
Lodges speech and in all the speeches of the
evening. Mr.. Lodge said in substance
We have come here to honor a man who
represents a great principle. who has broken
down system of obstruction which had re-
duced the lower House to stagnation, who,
by his will has enabled the ma
chine Of the people to move for
wald. 1t Is very easy to sit down in
newspaper Office and arrange all public
matters. Another and very difficult thing
Is to do 1t in the face of opposition. One
principle the people bave decided on is that
the majority shall govern. We were con-
fronted when we came into power with the
question whether we should do business at
all. AS first step we elected Reed speaker.
[Applause.l The second came when they re-
fused to let us have quorum. We have pre-
vented them from wasting time by whole
sale, but they still waste it in detail.
After the meeting the audience in
sisted on shaking hands with the Speaker,
and held an impromptu reception on the
platform. 1t was one Of the greatest recep-
tions ever accorded public man in Boston.

BDDEFoRD, September 2.-There is Doodle
ia the air. For some days past unwary
Democrats have been betraying feeling of
hopefulness which is not their won't Several
times the remark has been incautiously
dropped by some of the workers of the party
that the Republicans would get a big surprise
when the vote came in next Monday. These
mysterious outgivings of course somewhat
disturbed the Republicans, but they said
nothing lest they should put the talkative
Democracy on their guard. They kept
their ears open and it wasn't long before
they heard something more definite, and
enough to convince them that the Democrats
had received plenty of Doodle and were dis
tributing 1t about the various towns for use
just before election day. One Democrat
boasted to a chum of his that there was
Doodle enough to enable them to offer almost
any price for votes. $40, he thought would
be the first offer, but they were prepared to
go much higher if need be. 1t appears that
two Democrats came out here from Portland
a few days ago and had long conference
with some of the Democratic magnates.
Soon after this the mysterious outgivings
about surprise party began. The presump-
tion is that the Portland gentlemen brought
out the Doodle. Where they got 1t can of
course only be conjectured, but Germans
disappearance from Washington and the
report that he has been seen in Portland
within week raise very strong suspicion
that that arch boodler has Matched up
scheme for corrupting the first district of
Maine and introducing here the methods
that have been SO successful in keeping the
city of Baltimore in the Democratic line.
But whether the money has been brought or
sent here by German or not, it is certain that
it is here in large quantities and that the
Democrats are prepared to pay handsomely
for votes.

SCIENCE HIS AccusER.
Analysis Of the blood Stains on
Isaac saWteII's Clothing.

DOVER, N. H.. September 3.-Tbe result
Of the analysis of the stains found on Isaac
Sawtelps clothing, which was recently COM
pleted by Prof. K. F. Wood of Harvard Uni
versity. is the strongest clincher the prosecu-
tion has secured in the line of new evidence
against Isaac Sawtell. 1t disposes at once
Of the Jack" theory in the accused mans
alleged confession. and leaves little room for
doubt that Isaac killed his brother.
The result of the analysis Is that the stains
on his garments were caused by arterial
blood, and that there was a much greater
quantity Oh the clothing than the mere ex-
ternal examination, made at the time of the
discovery, seemed to Indicate Isaac's under
garments and overcoat were literally covered
with blood. AS for his pantaloons, jacket
and vest, the prosecution will show at the
trial that those he wore the day Hiram was
killed have never been seen since, and that
the accused man must have disposed of them
in the same manner that he did Hiram's head
and clothing and the shovel. Not only was
blood found on Isaac's clothing and on the
carriage cushions, but on the pickaxe which
was found in the woods less than two months
ago.
The trial will probably commence in this
city, Monday, September 18th, although there
is slight chance of Its being called next
Monday. The former date, however. is the
one most likely to be selected.

The second day of the Cumberland Coun-

and representing largely Western Maine,w was
most successful.
The weather was deliciously mild for Sep
tember and the attendance very large, some
5000 people being upon the grounds In the
afternoon.
In the morning large numbers witnessed
the trial of draft oxen and saw the exhibi-
tion of gentlemen's driving horses.
The Races.
The display of horses at this fair is the
largest and best seen in this section for
many years. For the meeting Of so many
fast trotters, the association is largely in
debted to Mr. John S. Head, who has given
much OF his attention to 1t for many weeks.
THE 2.40 CLASS.
The first race called was the 2.40 class.
The judges in the stand were Isaiah Pompil-
ly of Lewiston, starter; John S. Head of
Portland, and Edward Cobb of Deering.
Five horses appeared to contest and drew
positions as follows: Goldwood, /; Went

The remaining four horses got a great
start for the second heat. Their noses were

heat, save a hard fight for second
place between Goldwood and Han

with a good lead easily maintained. Han
