Some interesting "reminiscences of official
society az the Maine capital in the old days,
are contributed to the Kennebec Journal by
Mr.. Frederick j. Williams, who was one of
the young engineers sent from Boston in
1886 to make the surveys for the Augusta
dam. The surveys were made in the winter
when the Legislature was in session, and the
young engineers boarded at large hotel
near the State House. where also many of the
members boarded. 1t was the gay season
and Augusta was crowded with prominent
Maine men in business and political life, and
many lovely women" There were many
brilliant parties of gentlemen and ladies of
the best Manners" the house of the Hon.
Reuel Williams being one of the favorite
meeting places of Capital society in those
days. Robert p. Dunlap, of Brunswick, an
early graduate of Bowdoln College, In the
class with the more famous George Evans,
and afterwards member of Congress, was
Governor. Josiah Pierce, of Gorham, was
President of the Senate, and Jonathan Gil
ley, of Thomaston, destined to brilliant
career and an untimely end, was Speaker of
the House. Dunlap and Cilley were eminent
Democrats. Indeed, Democracy was the
ruling power in Maine in those days, as Re-
publicanism is today, although of the eight
Congressman the Wings managed to have
two, one of them the brilliant George Evans.
But the prevailing Democratic atmosphere
around the State House did not attract the
attention Of the young surveyor so power
fully as would similar phenomenon today.
MIR. Williams has the liveliest recollection of
man, and man not Democrat either,
ex United States Senator John Holmes, of
Alfred. Holmes had belonged to the old Re-
publican party, and in the division of that
party he became, not Democratic Republican
with most OF the other old Republicans of
Maine, but National Republican, with
George Evans. who later developed into a
Whig Holmes was one of Names first two
Representatives in the United States Senate
when she became State in 1920. He had
attracted attention by his vote In favor of
the admission of Missouri, slaves and all, at
time when the anti-slavery sentiment was
forcing the Missouri Compromise but he had
otherwise made his mark as an able legisla-
tor. In 1886, after having had two terms in
the United States Senate, he had, for some
reason, been sent to the legislature at Au-
gusta. HE was" says MIR. Williams, "the
observed of all Observers" His reminis-
cences Of life in Washington were constant
source Of entertainment at the hotel dinner
able; and his representations of Clay and
Webster, then the great orators of the
Time, are described by Mr.. Williams as re.
markably fine. He was most impressed
with what he considered the superior talents

to reduce the competition which they had to

One of the most interesting aud impor-
t.nt of next weeks contests is the
contest for the control of the gov
eminent of New York city. The issue
is sauarely drawn this year between Tam
many Hall and its opponents. Ordinarily
Tammany when it has been assailed has
managed to divide its assailants. But this
year the opposition is concentrated on one
set of candidates, and there are no third par
ties in the field. 1t is square fight between
Mayor Grant, the candidate of Tammany
Hall, and Francis M. Scott, the candidate of
the County Democracy, the Republicans and
the Peoples Municipal League. Two years
ago when Grant was the candidate as now of
the Tammany organization, there were two
other candidates in the field. namely, Hewitt,
nominated by the County Democracy and
Erhardt by the Republicans. Grant then
polled 114,111 votes, while the vote of
Hewitt and Erhardt combined was 49,
0l6 Thus Grant was elected by pln-
rality merely. A union on the part of the
opposition would have beaten him, If a
union candidate could have got the votes
p0lledTfor Erhardt and Hewitt. 1t is this
doubt as to whether the elements opposed to
Tammany can be prevailed upon down
through the rank and file to concentrate
upon single candidate that makes the pres
ent contest uncertain. II Tammany tri-
umphs undoubtedly the effect will be to
greatly strengthen that organization, and
render it practically invincible for years to
come. If it is beaten Its power for mischief
will be greatly crippled.

Harmony has been read in numbers in Har-
per and has created stir of curiosity as to
its authorship. Somewhat wearisome are
the details of fashionable society, but if the
story will serve to hold up anew to reproba-
ton the American tendency to solicit Eng
lish patronage, it will be very well in its
way. The real strength of the sketch lies in
It's sad ending. Here anu there the vulgar
ity of the scramble of wealth for position is
made rather over unpleasant in detail, and
while we would not enroll ourselves with
the class of critics who detect plagiarisms
with or without cause, at every turn, like an
over-zealous ferret, we must confess to
thoughts of Bella Boffin and 'pa" in the
heroine's interview with her paternal rela-
tive, prior to her acceptance of an untoward
fate. The ADglomaniacs will interest read
ers who like to dwell upon the career of the
New York nouveaux riches.

Gov. Hill of New York has returned from
his stumping tour in Ohio, and If he is not
assembling, he is not filled with confidence
that the Democrats will succeed. Spe aking
of the prospect in Major McKinley's district,
district which at the last election gave
more more than 1000 Democratic majority,
he says: "What the result of the election
viii be in Major McKinley's district it is
hard to conjecture, and do not care to ex-
press an opinion about Mr.. Warwick's
chances of beating the major. but can say
that the Republicans will have hard fight
of 1t, and If they win it will be by very
small majority" If the Democrats cannot
carry McKinley's district their chances of
carrying any of the doubtful districts of the
country are not worth talking about.
