The Boothbay sensation.

There is already summer business enough
to keep the people busy. but they haven't
yet got through talking about the myster
ious Fesrebay family. man aud wife. 1,

been living in the place for some two years
starting in very humbly in little quarters
and selling boots and shoes out of small
shop for less than cost. Afterwards selling
out their boots and shoes, they keIt jewell

been reported, he is supposed to have be-
come angere1 at his wife one day last wee K
and gave her horsewhipping. He then
left town, taking all he could carry. His
wife not only made formal complaint OF
the fioggng and sent officers on his trail to
Wiscasset and to Bath. but capped the eli
max by confessing that her husband was q
member of gang Of burglars that had
been committing the many burglaries in
the State. and that the goods they had been
selling from their store were stolen. Peo-
pie sympsthzed with the woman and she
seemed to feel badly, saying that she had
entrusted all her money, save 500, to him.
and he had taken it along in his flight.
The people who had taken interest in the
affair were more than surprised Monday
morning, however, to learn that Mrs.
Fearebay had flown taking all their proper

any value. This she packed in trunks tina,

Buying Votes.

Gov. Hovey, of Indiana, gives
frank notice that unless the Re-
publican party passes "the service
pension bill'' it viii be impossible
for it to win the next election. at
will cost only $4,000, 900 a year.
he declares, very small sum to
pay for the Presidency and the
control ofseveral hundred thousand
Offices.
Gov. Hovey puts the case very
strongly to his party; and it is only
too likely to heed his warning.
One hundred and twenty million
dollars a year As not q large sum
to pay for the control of the govern
ment, particularly when it is paid
out of the pockets of the people;
and on occasions Of this kind when
ever political preferment or adj
vantage is to be bought by an APP
preparation, the Republicans have
never hesitated moment to vote
away the peoples money with a
reckless extravaganza.
Gov. Hovey is unusually out
spokenin this matter, and DISCUSSES
and conceals nothing. It is, he
confesses, mere question of bar
ter and sale the voting away of
$3.50, 000,0 in return for the sol
der vote. 1t is mo pension, no
vote" unless we give this money
we are defeated for the Presidency"
he frankly confesses. The matter
was never put so broadly, indeed,
so brutally, before the country. No
one can fail to understand the Re-
publican policy-which is to buy
the veterans with pensions.
That the Republican party is
determined to adopt Gov. Hovey's
suggestion is patent 1t has, to
that end, changed its political
course on many important ques-
