POLITICAL NOTES.

Although the State Senate has not been
elected yet, there is friendly but lively
contest for its Presidency. Of course the
Democrats have no show of carrying
even a respectable fraction of it, SO the
contest is confined to Republican aspir-
ants. Among them are DR.. Robert L..
Grindle, of Mt. Desert; Albert M. Spear,
of Gardiner; B. B, Thatcher, of Bangor;
Jesse NJ. Libby, of Poland; and 0. II.
Hersey, of Buckfeld, This is to be Mr..
Hersey's first term in the Senate; but his
friends take the ground that Oxford
county is entitled to the Presidency; and
that a new man must be taken, since the
county does not re-nominate.

CITY OF WEsTBRooK.

About half-past eleven Saturday night
fire was discovered in the millinery store
,bf E. Perrin & Co.'s on Bridge street.
The alarm was given and by the prompt
response of our fire department the
flames were soon extinguished. The
stock of some five or six hundred dol
lars worth of millinery was almost en-.
tirely ruined by smoke and water. The
building, owned by Mr.. Deshon was not
much damaged. The second story is
used as photograph gallery and the
basement as fruit and cigar store,
neither of which received much injury,
The millinery stock and building were
insured. The origin of the fire is un

The Democrats opened their political
campaign in Westbrook on Saturday
evening with mass meeting in Odd Eel
lows hall and on the vacant lot adjoin-
ing, with three speakers, Hon. Darius
Ingraham, Col. A. w. Bradbury and
Harvey N. Shepherd, and two bands, the
American and the Salaberry. The way
to account for this hall and open air
meeting combination rumor asserts is
this: The Democratic leaders had en-
gagged the American band for the hall
meeting, when the Salaberry band
which has in it many Democrats-pro-
mony both bands were used as an attrac-
ton to draw the crowd. Hon Darius
Ingraham attacked the Mckinley bill
with all possible vigor, and filled up his
speech with such statements as this:
'sWhy, gentlemen, it's cost your wives
81 more for an aplaca dress than before
the passage of the Mckinley bill.' As
an excellent dress of the material mem
toned can be bought now for from $3.50
40 81, the price, according to this Demo-
cratic orator, must have been minus
quantity before the Mckinley bill became
law. He also said that the oppressive
laws of the Republican party had swept
our commercial marine from the seas,
and where our sailors used to 60 out
from Boothbay, from Kittery and from
Portland, now our ships are manned by
Danes, Swedes, Norwegians and cheap
Italians. Here he paused in his list of
foreigners as, perhaps, it dawned upon
him that foreigners were to the right OF
him, foreigners to the left of him. foreign
ers behind him, and foreigners in front
of him, and that these citizens make up
the strength of the Democratic party in
that city. In his list of dire results from
the rule of the Republican party he failed
to mention the discontinuance OF. the
Cumberland and Oxford canal The Hon.
Darius evidently, from some OF the gross
misstatements made, mistook the lntell-
gence of his Democratic audience.
While the speech making was progress
ing in the hall, the doughty colonel in
the open air was attempting to explain
the why's and wherefores of the recent
billion dollar congress, and telling of the
terrible tax on tin to the scattering crowd
that had gathered to listen to the sweet
strains of the American band.
After the Portland mayors speech in
| the hall, he came outside and harangued
| the crowd few moments from the band
stand and thesShepherd from Massachu-
sets took the hall platform and proceed
| ed to pull tariff WOO. over the eyes of his
audience.
/ The excellence of the two bands served
speakers failed to arouse any enthusiasm
whatever.

New England Firemen's League.

!, The next animal tournament of the
New England Veteran Firemen's League
to be held on Boston Common, Septem-
Der 18th, signifies that there will be as
sembled on that day the greatest collec-
ton of prize winners on any muster field
in the country. District Chief Cheswell,
Capt. Bedford and Mr.. j. R. Grove of the
Barnicoats will make all the arrange
ments, and the rules and regulations
governing the league will be faithfully
carried out
There are 40 veteran associations in
New England; 81 of that number are
members of the league. Of the 81 in the
league 26 have engines and will probably
participate in the September 18th tourna-
ment. Three associations, those at
Nashua, N. H., Gardner, Mass, and the
Peabody Unions have engines, but not
being members of the league, they can
not participate in the tournament.
Of the 16 engines which will probably
attend IL are Zimmerman, 9 Button, 4
LETTERS, Smith and Wright. Three Of
the LETTERS engines are double deckers.
Nine associations will then make their
first appearance on the muster field;
they are Portland, Me-, Manchester, NJ.
H., Lawrence, Braintree, Fall River,
Hudson, Chelsea, Salem and Hyde Park.
Two associations, the Newton and Wal
than, will have new engines.
Some of the best engines extant will be
present, including the Torrent, 5, of
Manchester, N. H., which took first
honors at Worcester in 1857, defeating
So of the best engines in the country.
The Eureka of Hudson, with its largest
percentage record Of any engine in New
England; the Butcher Boy of Braintree;
the old Union of Ellsworth, Me-, now
the property of the Waltham Association,
and the old Waterville, Me-, 3, now at
Newton, both famous in the Pine Tree
State, will all make their first appearance
in veterans contests at this tournament.

The Sabbath desecrators OF New
York City last Summer clauored 50
loudly for opening the metropolitan
museum on Sunday under The plea that
it was for the benefit Of the labOring
class of people that it was granted. But
now the museum is running short OF
funds because the Christian Contribu-
tors, by whose money it was principally
supported, have withdrawn their sup
port, and it will probably have to be
closed. Atheists, free thinkers and
Sabbath deseerators have not yet found
ed a school ur benevolent institution
and if Christian people would withhold
their support from the Worlds Fair i'll
Chicago if it remains open on Sunday
it would do much to enforce the mana
gers to think that tais is a Christian
nation.
