4 HAPPY NEW YEAR.

The people of Ellsworth have recent

hibitionst. That Mr. Gushing 3 one of
the ablcst speakers in Maine We know
that he is honest 10 his utterances and has
the courage of his convictions We have no
doubt; and Yet We feel equally sure that
he has made a mistake in becoming an ex-
ponent and advocate of the Third Party
Prohibition movement. Some one has very
aptly said, There are three kinds of peo-
pie in the world, the wills, the wonts, and
the cants. The fist accomplishes every
thing, the second opposes everything, and
the third fails in everything" And SO in
the temperance work in this state there
are these three kinds of people. which con-
stitute three political parties. The Repub-
Ncans are the wills, the Democrats the
aoonts, and the Third Party Prohibtionists
the ccnts. la the promotion of temper
ance in Maine, the Republicans have ac
complished everything, the Democrats
have opposed everything, the Third Party
Prohibitionists have failed in everything,
except really to assist the Democrats in
opposing everything.

Much to everybody's surprise, the
Allan steamers are to touch at Halifax this
winter, instead of coming direct to Port
land. As the Allan ships are British yes
sells, it is hardly necessary to say that it
was subsidy which occasioned this sud-
den change of route. British sensibilities
revolted at the idea of seeing British line
giving British towns the go by, and rum

REPUBLICANS CAUCUS.
The Primaries Saturday Night Favor
able TO Jno. A. Willard for Mayor.
Fifth Ward Republicans Show their
0ld-time Strength and Spirit.

The Republican caucuses Saturday
night drew out large number of Yot-
ers, and the contest in most OF the
wards was spirited. Three delegate
tickets were in the field, and the vot-
ers had considerable difficulty in know
ing what the different ones stood for.
One was headed ''Unpledged, " but was
thought TO be for E. r. Kennedy or
W. n Shepard for city treasurer. An
other was for T. W. Hunt, and the
third for J. J. Edwards for the same
Office. Mr.. Hunt claims TO have a ma;
jority of the delegates elected. John
A. Willard is the choice Of all the
delegates for mayor, as is also Ira p.
Shissler for municipal judge.
The most interest centered in the
aldermanic contest in the Fifth ward,
where an attempt was made TO thwart
the will of the Citizens movement.
The scheme was repudiated, however,
and its originators received severe
but well merited rebuke. Geo. E..
Brett received 80 votes, while S. T.
Barney got paltry Ii. The delegate
ticket which was headed "Unpledged'
was successful there, with lone excep-
ton Dwyer Walker receiving IA
votes, TO 80 for Mr.. Hunts delegates,
and 81 for Mr.. Edwards. Whom the
1alara@ ac fox-or mill mt ha 6aApifa1r
known until the convention to-mor-
row.
There was pretty contest in the
Fourth ward over the delegate ticket.
Mr.. Hunts ticket was successful with
one exception, receiving from p TO %.
That the fight was close one is
shown by the fact that no one on the
other two tickets received less than
% votes. r. D. Hubbard was unanim-
ously nominated for alderman.
In the Third ward there was no OPP
position to Thos. Saulpaugh for alder
man. Mr.. Hunts delegate ticket re-
ceived 2S votes to 5 for each Of the
other two.
Fred. Widell was unanimously nom
mated for alderman in the Second
ward. and has been promised consider
able Democratic support. Mr.. Hunts
delegates received Is votes to 4 for the
opposition.
Joseph Schlingerman was nominated
for alderman in the First ward with
out opposition.
J. G.. Fowler was nominated for al
derman in the Sixth ward. with but
two opposing votes.

Mr.. c. s. Paine. who is in the city
in the interest Of the proposed Com
mercial College, is meeting with con-
siderable encouragement from our
leading business men, and it is TO be
hoped that sufficient interest will be
taken to secure for the city this insti-
tuition.
1t is an acknowledged fact that at
the present time thousands Of dollars
are going out of this city annually for
Just such a training as this college
proposes to give, not TO mention the
vast territory of which Mankato is the
natural center, and from which the
college would draw large patronage.
Prof. Rucker, who is the president
and proprietor of great chain OF col
leges extending over the northwest
of which the University of Commerce
and Finance of Minneapolis is the
head. comes highly recommended as a
successful business man. and gentle
man of national reputation as busi-
ness educator.
II is proposed to establish here a
permanent Institution which will In
every respect be the equal OF any col
lege Of the kind in the northwest.
and it should not be a question OF
whether we have a son or daugh-
ter of suitable age TO attend this
school, but the public good should in
duce every business man who can. TO
take scholarship.

DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES.
The Citizens Aldermanic Slate Some
what Mutilated-All for John
A. Willard.
Porter for Judge. Bienapf for Clerk
and Maxfield for Treasurer
Seem to have the Lead.

Seem 10 nave LIE LIEU.
The Democratic caucuses Friday
evening were more largely attended
thanrhad been expected. There were
two tickets in the field in most of the
wards. There was no opposition any
where manifested TO Jno. A. Willard
for mayor. but the aldermanic slate
prepared by the Citizens Committee
was somewhat shattered. In the
Third and Fourth wards there was no
opposition to MeSsrs. Saulpaugh and
Hubbard. the former receiving about
20 votes. In the First ward Dennis
Hayes had been pushed by his friends
as a candidate against Mr.. Schlinger-
man. but observing the flow of the
tide he gracefully Withdrew before
the caucus. and thus avoided defeat.
He vows vengeance on Mr.. s., how
ever, whom he accuses Of unfair play.
Nick. Peterson, in the Second ward,
secured the nomination by a vote OF
81 TO 80 for Ed. Cousandier, the Citl-
zens' nominee. In the Fifth ward the
lack Of energy shown on the part OF
his friends deprived Geo. E. Brett OF
the nomination, and gave it TO 5. +.
Barney, who, it had been reported
for several days, has been making
still hunt for the nomination. The
vote stood: Barney %, Brett IL. 1t is
evident that a little hustling might
easily have changed the result. In
the Sixth ward J. G. Fowler was NOM
mated over A. P. Halfhill.
The principal fight on the delegates
was over the municipal judgeship. be-
tween Judge Porter and II. L. Bulls.
Judge Porter claims p of the % dele
gates.
1t seems as though Geo. Maxdeld,
ST., has large majority Of the dele
gates for the Office Of City Treasurer.
but there are some who whisper that
he has not such ''sinch' on the NOM
inaIion as appears on the surface.
There was no opposition TO W. f.
Bienapfi for city recorder.
The vote on delegates in the Fourth
ward stood SO to II. in Judge Porter's
favor
In the Third ward the contest was
between so-called Fowler and Robel
tickets and the latter was successful.
These delegates are inclined toward
H L. Bulls for Judge.
In the second ward the successful
delegate ticket received 81 votes TO Is
for the opposition ticket. 1t is hard TO
say what the fight was on there. Mr..
Cousandier, the defeated aldermanic
candidate, is disposed TO bolt the
ticket.
In the Sixth ward the successful
ticket had 80 votes out of 81.
There were 81 votes cast in the First
ward.
The result of the caucuses was as
follows:
FIRST WARD.
