CORRESPONDENCE.


Owing to the rainy weather, Norridge.
wock had q protracted celebration this
year. But she celebrated just the same.
host Of small boys with tin horns
other accesslons gave the opening
kert ct about noon Thursday, and
continued with occasional short inter.
missions throughout the afternoon. In
the evening, several of our traders were
sereuadod BY this musical company, and
responded literally with small change,
and both solid and liquid Refreshments
which the boys evidently appreciated.
The sport was continued throughout The
night but the silence of the town II
breakfast time Friday morning was Al
most appalling.
When the sleepy traders arrived ct
their stores, they found some Of them de-
corated Ia strange manner. black
smith shop announced harness for sale
and the drug store Of r. W. Spaulding
was apparently converted into . repair
shop for carriages and broken down
furniture. During the forenoon quite q
crowd collected ln spite of the rain but
the parade Of horribles failed to arrive,
and the races we're postponed till SAtur-
day T. n. Saturday morning came, but
VIZ "S@sooA Wo6 - lOf 30 WV
and the races were given up. About the
middle Of the forenoon, however the sun
came out and the belated horribles were
seen vending their way along one OF the
principle streets, while Prop. Wright
sent up q good sized balloon Is sort OF
peace Offering. The balloon rose high In
the air and sailed steadily toward the
east, and the hearts OF the spectators
we're gladdened at the prospect Of fair
weather. Meantime the horribles reach
Maine St. and Q mounted troup Of COW
boys and Indians dash past, seeming none
the worse for days delay. The closing
events Of the day were brilliant display OF
fireworks and an open air concert by the
Norridgewock concert Band. The com
mittee Of arrangements showed remark
able perseverance, In carrying out such
| arts Of the program a. were possible
under the circumstances, and deserve
the hearty thanks and congratulations OF
the community.

R3bubmjsSlon,

The re.submission plank In the revamp-
ed Democratic platform Is about the
mildest form Of opposition to prohibi-
tion that could have been adopted. but II
II an entering wedge, the object Of which
10 the overthrow Of prohibition. That is
the Interior design OF it. sibeit they have
masked 1t under the plausible term re-
submission. The only object of again
submitting the prohibitory amendment to
the people to get prohibition out Of the
constitution DO that they can take another
step, viz: get prohibition out Of the
statutes.- Disguise It as they may, argue
the question as they will, throw all the
sophistry about 1t possible, and still the
the fact remains, clear and obvious to all,
that the movement In favor Of re-submis-
sion by the Democratic party is simply
and only the first step In the Democratic
programme, the substit ution of license
law in some form for the prohIbitory law.
Republicans In Maine are not ready to
assist the Democratic party to carry out
this programme and the intelligent people
Of Maine are not ready to take the. first step
In that direction. They will respectfully
decline this invitation extended to them
BY the free-rum wing Of the Democratic
party.

Of Maine passed upon: the prohibitory
