Their Candidate for Governor Dead, They
Hardly Know what TO DO.

BANGOR, Juno 1.-THE death this morning
OF the Hon. Francis W. Hill, tho Democratic
nominee for Governor, is a severe blow to the
party in this State. 1t was less than two weeks
ago that he attended the state Convention and
accepted the nomination. which was tender
ed to him unanimously. The nomination
struck a popular chord, and he would have re-
ceived stronger support than many men OF his
party. The leaders don't know what to do.
suggestion has been made that the state Com
mittee put another candidate in the field, but
that meets with little favor 1t might be done
in an emergency, but as there are yet three
months before the election there is plenty OF
time to select n new candidate In a regularly
called Convention. Neither does the idea that
the old Convention be called together again
prove acceptable to the few Democratic lead
ers who could be found tonight =,
That Convention ls as dead rs It's candi-
date, said one: give US new Convention.
One objection to a new Convention would be
that of the question Of license. Prohibition
could be raised again and q fairer expression
Of the opinion OF the party obtained. This
will probably lead the friends Of license to In
slst upon new Convention: but even II the
old one was recommended II would be hard to
30 contrive its action as to prevent its express
ing an opin on on any question OF public N
terest 1t chose to discuss. II 1t was 80 pre-
vented. the threats OF an Independent anti
prohibition Convention might stand chance
Of being carried into execution.
