To Charles @. wilson, President Board of
Hedttb-SIR: We would respectfully report
that very careful biological examinations of
the intestinal contents from the body of Chas.
McAvery. who died September 9th, have been
completed. The autopsy showed anatomical
lesion of sporadic cholera, but biological ex-
animation proves that the sputum of Aslatic
cholera were present in the inteStines. We
therefore declare the case to be one of Asiatic
cholera. Respectfully submitted,

mann, who died on September 10, 1892, and
whose body was referred to us to determine
the cause of death, died of cholera asiatica, as
has been shown by biological examination OF
intestinal discharges taken before DEATH No
reliable conclusions could be drawn from the
post mortem or biological examination made
after death, or of her husband, William Vic
mann, and both bodies have been embalmed.
We have no doubt, however, that the cause OF
death in both cases was the same.
The biological examination in the case of
the child Minnie Levinger. who died Septem-
Der 18th, also shows that cause of death was
Asiatic cholera. Respectfully submitted

vate citizen was called from his seat to
address the convention assembled, scores
OF delegates have been wondering whetI-
er the time would not come within the
next 49 ou s when they could cast their
votes for MIN. 1t must have been the
proudest moment in Reeds life as the
pludits of his fellow Republicans fell up
on his ears, and when he stood before
them crowned with the verdict of ''weu
done" Whether ne is nominated or not.
he must now always feel that he is dear
to the hearts of the people of his party.
His courage and his brains seem to have
combined to make him admired. Ger
tainly there can be no doubt of his popu-
larity. There seems also to be no doubt
that he will get quite
a number of votes from New England on
the first ballot He has many friends in
the South among Southern Republicans
also who are very anxious for the pas
sage of a federal election bill, and who
remember that it was owing to the tao
tics enforced by Speaker Reed that the
Lodge bill went through the House in
the Fiftieth Congress. Many delegates
would rather vote for him than McKin-
ley, believing that the latter couldn't be
elected this year. The event today has
made Reed a possibility.
The talk of third man increases.
The Republicans here who want neither
Blaine nor Harrison are trying to find
way in which they can avoid the taking
of bitter dose. All during the day
there have been rumors here and there
of men in various delegations who are
asserting their independence and are
breaking away. 1t looks now as if on the
first ballot there would be more indie
pendent votes cast than at any previous
convention in the party's history. 1t is
easy enough to find cause for this. Few
men, no matter how much they may be
influenced by personal considerations for
one candidate or another. want to see
their party defeated at the polls, and
they are willing to see their favorita
sacrificed rather than have the party
swept down the whirlpool of destruction.
1t was this feeling that led to such gen.
eral applause when the temporary chair
man today said that the party was greater
than any man. If these independent
votes are cast it means that there will be
enough scattering ballots to keep both
Blaine and Harrison below d majority.
The moment this occurs the fight will
begin. 1t will not then be
A Contest Between Giants
but it will be question as to who will
fall heir to the giants strength. There
was very evidentinclination@o the part
of the delegates today to start out the
dark horses on trial heats; but Mr.. Reed
was the only one who was bold enough
to appear on the track and let the spec
tators see his shape and form. The only
hope of the Harrison men is the bringing
about a ballot as quickly as possible. If
the ballot should be taken today there is

iastic Marylander under the gallery
shouted, "Hurrah for McComas.'' The
crowd, however, had not reached that
point where McComas's name could be
used to conjure with and the cheer was
not forthcoming.
Just before the convention adjourned
a neatly dressed colored man with
smooth shaven head and coffee colored
skin, named VIM. Morrell, of Jersey City,
created something of breeze. Making
his way to the front he announced that
although an alternate in the convention
for a delegate at large, who was not pres
ent, his seat had been usurped by man
who was not entitled to it. The con-
venton, however, was too anxious to ad-
iourn and the colored alternate was told
to see the committee ON credentials. He
sat down somewhat discounted. Then
with a rap of the chairman's gavel the

The occasional sermon was delivered by
Rev. O. f. Stafford, d. d., of Deering, his

uttered the ex-Speaker's name there was
a whirlwind of applause. 1t came up
spontaneously from every quarter, dele
gates and speakers alike participating in
it while it lasted. Reeds face was a
study. At first his eyes twinkled lit
tie and a smile passed over his face,
which had hitherto been unmoved. He
seemed to feel an inward pleasure at the
tribute of which he was the recipient. A
minute passed and the ovation grew rath-
er than decreased. Men began to wave
their handkerchiefs and to crowd over
one another in desire to see the man of
brains and audacity. To be the centre
of interest in throng of $4,000 people
was enough to unnerve even
the man who had with unruf-
fed counteannce ruled over the
most turbulent scenes in the House of
Representatives Mr.. Reed was plainly
somewhat frustrated. His hands moved
nervelessly. Finally, he rose and bowed.
His face flushed, and it was evidently a
relief when the tempest subsidized and
Mr.. Fassett resumed speaking. But the
convention was now thoroughly aroused,
and did not propose to allow Mr.. Reed to
remain in obscurity. The poetical quo
tation with which Mr.. Fassett closed his
speech had scarcely been uttered when
from all parts of the hall came noisy and
imperative cries for Reed, and Fassett,
holding high the gavel, attempted to
still the storm. 'sLet's have everything
in order,'' he said, but there was no ces-
sation to the demand. Again Reeds
face showed the tumult that was in his
heart 1t was useless to withstand the
swelling call for the ex-Speaker. At a
whisper from Fassett burly assistant
sergeant-at-arms made his way hurriedly
up the aisle, past the correspondents
desks and leaning over the rail that sep
Grated the invited guests from the ma
tional committeeman, asked Mr.. Reed to
come forward. At the sound of the
messengers voice Mr.. Reed smiled and
shook his head. The call grew louder
and more emphatic. 1t was to be with
stood no longer, ana Une eX-Speaker lay
ing his broad-brimmed straw hat upon
the chair, climbed in nervously over the
railing and came down the aisle.
The demonstration only ceased when
Mr. Reed, standing in his familiar atti-
tude, with his hands behind his back.
surveyed the great audience around him.
The old time composure had now re-
turned; his voice was firm, and it's pecu-
liar nasal ring carried every word to the
uttermost ends of the hall. He spoke as
follows:

BANGOR, June 7.-If ever there was an
enthusiastic lot Of Democrats together
they are here tonight. Tomorrow's con-
vention will be a big one. The head
quarters at the Penobscot Exchange is
literally packed with men who are dis
cussing and talking combinations. The
candidates for governor talked of are
Chas. F. johnson of Waterville, Col.
Chas. B. Morton of Augusta, and John
G. Moses of Bath. If Morton comes up,
he will simply be slaughtered. Moses is
the man who is best thought Of. It is
said he will accept the nomination and
For delegates at large. Thomas White
and F. W. Hill will.be the candidates in
the East with the chances in favor of
White, who will probably have Portland
support. To Judge Cleaves of Portland
there is no opposition and he will be
elected unanimously.
In the second district, Hon. D. j. Nc
Gillicuddy and Chas. Osgood, both of
Lewiston, will be candidates and Nc
Gillicu6 6gy seems likely to win. In the
third district, Col. Chas. B. Morton will
probably be a candidate. IF so, large
number will use every effort to defeat
him. He has enemies who say he has
been paid $500 month to organize the
state, and has all along interfered with
local politics whether he should or not.
They say he has been the cause of many
dissensions and he shall not go to the
national convention as delegate. These
men want Morton's scalp and they do
not mean to leave single hair on his
head. 1t is thought that Gould of Skow-
hogan, who was only defeated for the
nomination for Congress today by two
votes, by Thompson of Belfast, will be
run against Morton. Gould is popular
Morton. There are plenty of combina-
tions and bad blood to make the conven-
ton lively one.
The convention may instruct the dele
gates at large for Cleveland, but there
will be opposition of the undetermined
kind to giving any instructions.
Ii the re-SubmisSion matter comes up,
E. G. SWEET of Portland will speak in it's
favor. 1t is said he has carefully pre-
pared speech ready to launch on the con-
vention. This matter may cause scene
but there is no such opposition from the
country as there has been heretofore. .and
it will not be strange if the re-submis-
sion plank is adopted. Indeed it will be
strange if the contrary proves true.
Hon. W. Ell. Clifford of Portland will
preside, and his speech will not be very
long. 1t looks as if about every dele
gate will be present
1t is rumored that John B. Redman, of
Ellsworth, will be used to defeat Morton,
but this will not go. The Hancock dele
cation says Redman cannot be forced on
them; that'he has had honors enough
This county is solid for Morton. Young
Hill, who is trying to defeat Thomas
White has the support of Arthur Sewall,
of Bath, and it is said he has distributed
his passes broadcast throughout the
State.
New combinations are likely to be
found before the convention meets and
predictions are about the same as useless.
Many delegate will sleep very little, if
any, on this night before the convention
which promises to be the largest ever
held by the Democrats of Maine.

BANGOR, June THE Democrats held
a larger convention today than they ever
before got together in this district. Three
hundred and sixty-four out of 800 were
present. The fight was a bitter one be-
tween Powers and Leavitt for the Con-
gressional nomination. Peter Charles
Keegan came with thirty delegates from
Madawaska, ostensibly for himself, but
tried to deliver them to Leavitt in open
convention. 1t did not work. He could
not deliver the goods and some of the
Keegan delegation voted for Powers s
nomination. Powers was elected and the
nomination made unanimous, but the
Leavitt crowd are mad clear through.
They now charge fraud and do not take
kindly to their Waterloo.
Don A. FL. Powers was born in Pitts
field, Me-, December Sth, 1851. In his
family are eight boys who are lawyers.
He is a lawyer, good business man and
will make an aggressive light.
After an animated contest, Hon. J. P.
Bass of Bangor and d. G. Parker of Dam
forth were elected delegates to the ma
tional convention, there being. a sharp
fight between Bass and Parker on one
ticket and Henry Hudson of Grilford and
J. W. Hathaway of Houlton on another.
Finally Snow withdrew Hudson so as to
beat Bass. Henry J. Hathaway of Houl-
ton combined with Leavitt to beat Pow
ers and Bass but they met defeat. Bass
had much the largest vote of any man on
the ticket. He is the happiest man in
Eastern Maine. DIR. Geo. Ell. Freeman of
Presque Isle and Henry H. Bowles of
Cherryfield were chosen delegates. Aaron
L. Simpson was recommended to the
state convention as an elector. The dis
trict committee is the same as formerly
During the convention Hon. d. j. McGil-
licuddy of Lewiston was called upon and
made short speech.
The Democratic state committee met
at the Penobscot Exchange this evening
and agreed on the following temporary
organization of the State Convention to-
morrow: Chairman, W. Fl. Clifford,

noble, but human liberty is magnificent. "
[Great applause.]
While Mr.. Reed was speaking, Cover
nor Mckinley sat at the head of the Ohio
delegation on the floor, almost directly
beneath his former colleague in the
House.
McKin1ey's Face Was as Immobile
as if it had been cut out of marble, and
never for an instant did he remove his
eyes from the ponderous figure above
him. When Mr.. Reed had concluded,
there came a call for Nc
Kinley, but it lacked the volume
and the spontaneity that had character
lied Reeds ovation. Mr.. Fassett
beekoned to him to come to the platform
but he smihngly shook his head. Then
he arose and bowed, at which the ap-
plause became deafening and hundreds
of the delegates sprang to their feet.
After these incidents, the convention
transacted its routine work with des-
patch.
The audience found some diversion
in applauding the prominent leaders
who announced the action of each de-
legation. Ex-Secretary Thompson, bet
ter known as Uncle Wick, white haired
and weak of voice; ex-senator Ingalls,,
who is always given cordial demonstra-
ton upon the least excuse; Senator
Quay, who had to stand several minutes
before the applause which greeted him
ceased: Gen. Malone whose diminutive
figure crowned with long
hair was an object of curiosity
and ex-senator Spooner, who smiled
with evident qualification at the applause
which was bestowed upon him-al1 these
and many more lived for a few brief mo-
ments on the exhilaration of the atmos-
phere of party approval. When ex-Rep-
resentatiye McComas had read the an
nouncement of his delegation, an enthus-
