To THE EDITOR or TIE Journal wish to
call the attention of the citizens of Belfast and
vicinity to the locating Of tie projected electric
railroad from our city to Northport Camp Ground.
AS understand the present plan is to lay the rails
on the east side of the roadway, the inner rail
three feet from the centre Of the road ana as the
overhang OF Is about two feet the side of the
car would be only one foot from the present cen
tire. This would leave no room on the east side
for teams to pass, and so marrow up the west side
that would be impossible teach horses to pass
so near the car as they would be obliged do The
avenue is too wide 1t Is. In fact 1t has been
proposed to widen it. and subscription papers
have been circulated for that purpose. ON the last
some $500 or $500 was pledged by citizens in
terested. Now are we to allow this fine driveway
which is, or ought to be, the pride of city, to
be ruined On turned over to outside capitalists:
If the rails laid per plan it will lessen the
valuation of property on the avenue and many of
our citizens would suffer. All of our livery sta
bles, express companies ana other private enter
prises must OF necessity suffer loss. 1t would be
for the interest Of the electric company to lessen
travel by other conveyamces And If allowed to
lay their road where they Ike, 1t stands reason
their interests are not Identical with ours. ii the
railroad Is TO be built II should be aid outside of
the present travelled road. There is room enough
on the east Side. There are other reasons why the
company should not be allowed to lay over our
road. 1t would cost the city much more keep the
road in repair, as our labor saving road machine
would be Of little use on the avenue. If the clec
trio company could its cars the year around it
would be different. But are we to have this beau =
tifu driveway ruined simply to have this electric
car for two or three months during the year?
1t is well to give this matter our sincere atten-
ton, for once the rails laid 1t w ould be past
remedy, If the result should prove stated above.
There would be but way out of the trouble,
and that to widen the road on the west side at 4
great cost to the city and damage to residents on
the west side.
have looked the ground carefully over and fail
to see why the rails should be laid over the pres
ent travelled way, unless to trhe extra cost
to the company and the loss of dimes by leaving
our road Intact. r. II. COOMBs.

Hearing on the Electric Railroad.

Messrs David \, Mortland, of Rockland, Asa
". Wildes, of Skowhegan, and Roscoe l.. Bowers,
of Saco, State Railroad Commissioners were in
Belfast Saturday for hearing on the Belfast ccc-
trio railroad The Pierces were present I'll the in
son. Messrs. y +. Houston and A. A. IIowce
represented the Waldo Railroad Co., the Mayor
appeared for the city of Belfast and MI. NJ. { .
Hin for the town OF Northport The company
presented maps of the highways over which tie
p0po5ed road Will pass, but the line of tn propos
Ell road was not marked out. Mr.. Mortland,
chairman of the commissioners, said it was mot
their business to lay out the road but to approve
or disapproye of the location laid out. There
nothing before them to act upon. The proposed
road had not been laid out on the plan. He did
not want to establish a prece tent, but thought
they should go strictly according to Law. Mir
Mortland said the private interests as well rs the
public should be looked after. The location OF the
road should be well defined, so that if private
individual objected he could come before the com
mtssioners and be heard.
Judge Williamson said if lac had had his way
the line OF the alleged road would have been mark
| ed out. Chairman Mortland remarked al know
you would, for you are careful man in such mat
Mr.. NJ. G. HILL of Northport, testified that he
| thought public convenience demanded the road.
| on being further questioned he said he was in
favor of the road provided none Of the rights of
| the Camp Ground Association were infrlnEctl
| upon, but If they were he should oppose it. Mr.
Mortland thought that no corporation could put a
| toll bridge across public way. If passenger on
the electric road bought ticket for certain place
| the road would be bound to carry him there This
| conversation related ITO the ten cents which tie
| Camp Ground Association charge for all persons
who enter the grounds during camp meeting week
Mr.. Houston wanted TO know if the company
failed to comply with the requirements of the city
to have hfty per cent. of the cost of construction
expended by May lst, 1892, If they could claim the
| three years allowed steam railroad to construct

:
1t is notorious that Roswell T.. Flower was
nominated by the Democrats for Governor be-
cause, in the popular parlance, he possesses a
"barl," that he Is expected to use to secure
his election. tie has nothing else to commend
him. He is not statesman, or an orator, and
while he has war record 1t Is not one that
will commend him to the sufrages Of very
large number. 1t Is stated that while the
armies of the Union were facing death In de-
fence of the flag, Flower was hawking pinch
beck jewelry across the counter of little cor
ner shop IN New York. A wounded Union
veteran, who entered his shop, while at home
on Through, was greeted by this patriot
Flower in the following select form of speech !:
you all ought to be killed and nope you
will be killed. The South is going to win, and
] hope they will win. If men are - fools
enough to 90 down there and fight an abolition
war they ought to be killed. | don't care
- how long the war lasts. I'm getting rich
selling cheap lewelry to the wives, daughters
and sweethearts of the Sold"
This is the sort of nosegay Tammany has
presented to the veteran ex-soliiers; and ex-
President Cleveland has taken the stump In
behalf of this malodoIous Flower, the oandi-
date of "a parcel of worthless adventures and
criminals the New York Evening Post
APPLY characterizes the Tammany organization.
In Ohio also the skies bright. There
Democratic dissensions prevail, while the Re-
publicans are united and enthusiastic Mr..
Mex inley has made a remarkable and almost
unprecedented canvass. lie has stumped every
county, often speaking three and four times a
day, prOclaiming the truth wherever Demo-
cratic falsehoods had been sown. The Demo-
Gratis realize that the odds are against them,
and present indications are that they will aban-
don Campbell to his fate and endeavor to save
the Legislature. A correspondent of the Bos-
ton journal writing from Canton, Ohio, saws:
TO the Democracy the Legislature is every
thing. If it is a Republican body, the gerry
mander will be repealed and the Buchanan bill
TO choose Presidential Electors by Congression-
al districts will sleep the sleep of death. 1t
means the undoing of pernicous legislation ac-
complished by the last Democratic body, and it
means that the State institutions, now prosti-
tuted to partisan ends, shall be delivered of
the hordes of petty officials who have seized
upon them as prey for political service render
ed the party. 1t means that the next United
States Senator shall be a Republican and a res
ident of Ohio, and that the disgraceful barter
Ing away of Senatorial honors, as In the cases
of Payne and Brice, shall not be repeated. Re-
pubcans realize this as well as do Democrats,
and if every Republican does his duty. and
stands by his party, the State ticket will not on
ly be elected, but the next Legislature will be
safely Republican.
1t should be borne in mind that no Demo-
cratic Governor has ever been able to secure a
reelection in Ohio, and it is seldom that two
consecutive Legislatures have been Democrat
ic. The party has always managed to bring
discredit upon its Administration, and has al
