THE BIRTHPLACE OF HON. HENRY B.
CLEAvEs AT SOUTH BRIDGToN.
Some of our oldest inhabitants say
that Hon. Henry B. Cleaves, the coming
governor of the Dirigo State, was born
in this part of our goodly town, in the
double house now occupied by the fami-
ly Of VIM. Moulton in one part and DR..
Torsey in the other. In this house lived
his parents for several years, with Lieut..
Robert A. Andrews, an aged revolution
airy soldier identified with these parts,
and for whom several of our present citi-
zens were named including brother OF
Gen. Cleaves, Mr.. Robert A. Cleaves, OF
Bridgton Centre. We believe Mr. An
drews was related in some way to the
Cleaves family, but am not sure of this.
But rumor has it that here in this house
the General was born.
A convention of the Christian Endeav-
or societies of Bridgton and adjoining

announcement of Rev. W. B. Hague. the

One of our prominent farmers, Mr.. E..

women's Indian Association.

Tuesday afternoon, the Women's
Maine Indian Association met in the
Friends meeting house, the president
presiding. Mrs. Frye opened the meet
ing with Scripture reading, and offered
prayer. The secretary's and treasurer S
reports were read and accepted. The
missionary committee reported through
its chairman Mrs. Melvin Bailey, two
letters received from missionaries in the
| field; one full-blooded Indian.
Mrs. Frye said she remembered when
the Kickapoos would have no school on
their reservation, but recently one of the
chiefs was so anxious to learn that he
was helping, with his own hands, build
the school house.
Mrs. Thurston read letter from an
Indian girl, at whose home Mrs. Frye
had been welcomed when last in Dakota.
This young woman had assisted DR.. De-
vol, formerly of this city, when working
among the Indians, and is now a teacher
at an Indian school. One of the oldest
members of the association mot herself
Friend) said it was always with spirit
of thankfulness that she came to that
church since she remembered with graft
tude that it was to that denomination
belonged the honor of calling President
Grants attention to the wrongs of the
Indians and suggesting the policy which
then adopted has gone on expanding its
lines ever since. This lady thought
[ however much foreign missions were
needed, it was our first duty to help
those whom we have wronged beyond all
description.
A letter was read from another teacher
in Dakota, telling of the good work done
by Hampton student there, and of the
daily routine of the boarding school
where the girls are taught all kinds of
homework as well as sewing. During
the outbreak of 1891 this school was less
than thirty miles from Sitting Bulls war.
When it was over this teacher was asked
if she was not afraid of the Indians. She
replied: mo, was only much afraid of
white men,
At the close of the meeting. Mrs. Pink
ham spoke of her interest in the cause.

two are absolutely opposed to Cleveland
and the others preferring new man. fear
ing that neither Cleveland nor Hill can be
elected.
The convention is harmonious and a ma
jority OF the committee on platform are
conservative democrats. The alliance con-
ference determined not to make demands
on the state convention. but to stand on
national matters in the ST. Louis platform,
and it is understood will put up third
party electoral ticket.
Ex-Governor S. J. Jarvis is permanent
chairman of the convention. This alter
noon ringing platform was adopted by
acclamation. demanding the free coinage
of silver and other financial reforms as set
forth in the platform of 1890. The plat
form does not touch upon the presidential
question.

THE INDIANAPOLIS SENTINEL puts these
pointed and pertinent questions to its re-
publican contemporary, the Indianapolis
Journal, relative to the new tax law:
Why are the corporations fighting the tax
law, if. as the JouTnG, has frequently asserted,
1t was passed at their dictaton and in their H.
teresl?
F, IL the tax law is in favor OF the corporations,
why don't the corporations stand byit?
III II is bad law and against the people, how
can 1t be "for the interest of the people that it
should be held constitutional" as the Journal
said 1t was G few weeks ago?
VIII the journal oblige MS with direct,
straightforward replies TO these questions?
The Journal will do nothing of the kind.
II will continue to lead the county press
of Indiana in a course of systematic but
transparent Misrepresentation, as it did
in Its insincere crusade against the school
book law and the secret ballot law, only
to cease all opposition after the election
and shamlessly confess its miserable men
dacity. The Journal is bourbon OF the
bourbons. 1t learned nothing from the
lesson OF 1890. 1t still proceeds on the
manifestly mistaken theory tina. the peo-

ATLANTA, Ga, May 1S.-The hosts OF
Grover Cleveland marched through Geor-
gia today with the early dawn. They
came from the four quarters of the state,
and invading Atlanta, the citadel OF the
opposition, they met the enemy in state
convention and carried the day in one
glorious triumphant assault.
The anti-Cleveland men have capitu-
lated tonight and accept the result with
resignation. but they are proud OF their
bard fought battle, in which they sur
rendered at last only to the superior forces
of overwhelming numbers.
When the convention met the opposing
forces seemed about equally divided, but
the great tidal wave of Cleveland senti-
ment that had its birth in the con-
vention in little Rhode Island, that
gathered strength in Pennsylvania,
Illinois, Missouri and the great
states of tae North, swept over
the convention with resistless force, carry
ing all before it and brooking no opposi-
ton or compromise from those who ap-
peaied eloquently. but in vain, to the dis
erection and conservatism OF the democrats
