The Lecture Course

The people of Sl>owhegan aud vicinity
are under obligation To Mr.. u. W. Hall,
Principal of the High School, as well as
to the pupils of that school who have so
effectively aided him in the enterprise,
for the very fine course of entertain
ments that begin Monday evening next ,
in Coburn Hall, with II concert and read
ing by the Boston Rivals. For two
seasons pastthe High School entertain
ments have been well patroniZcd by our
citizens and have been worthy of it. and
this year with the advantage of the expert
ence of the past the management have
been even able to surpaSs the successes of
the former years by the excellence of
the attractions offered.
The galaxy for this seasons course is
as follows: Boston Rivals, October 18th :;
Henry Ragan, October 9th and Novem-
ber 18th; Col. George W. Balm of Ken
lucky, November 18th; Ariel Concert
Company, January 3D.; New York Phil
harmonic Club, January l4th; George X.
Vending, February 3d; Edward p
Elliott. Comedian and Impersonator,
March 10th.
These eight fine engagements are
something our people are to be congrat
ulated upon and the admission would be
low were the price of season tickets
double that at which they are sold.

The Electoral Ticket.

Eddor Somerset Repont,r:
call attention 10 the all
s,rdity of omittmg any name on the
Electoral ticket. As you have candi-
dates, citizens of Skowhegan, on two Of
the Electoral tickets, few words in
your paper may be appropriate.
There is not hing now leftthc to Judge
mcnt or discretion of the electors no
more than to the Judgement of boy
you might hire To turn II grndstone, or
do any ordinary Kind of labor. There
are but few that have served in any pub
lie station, without displeasing some of
their fellow citizens, who are quite likely
to resolve that they will not help such Il
one again 10 any office whatever.
The feeling of contempt for u candi-
date for Elcctor was well illustrated in
California. in 1850. The Democrats were
so un~ise a5 to put David ). Terry (tle
man who killed senator Brodcrick in a
dueD on their electoral ticket but his
name WAS erased by so many that il left
the highest candidate on the other ticket
ahead of Terry and the vote of the state
was declared, five for Hancock and one
for Garfield. The few that erased the
name of Terry did not think they were
turning the election and they did not
then turn it: but in an election as close
as when Mr.. Hayes was seated by lS5
votes to Isl for his c0mpetit II, that is by
one vote, then ii would have turned the
election. do not think of any reason
why | should refuse to vote for any one
who should b' put on the electoral ticket.
The September election has passed aud
the figures are printed. 1t seems that
the supporters of Candidate Johnson
have turned ont $3.50 less than Mr.. Put
nam received -four years ago; while on
the other side. Mr.. Cleaycs received
ll52S less than Burleigh received, making
relative gain for the johnson ticket of
556S. and | notice that 36l3 of this re-
lativc gain is in this third Congressional
district.
will write m0rr about the way We
elect the President have changed my
views about the 80 called electoral mach
inerV. Let the States of Texas and
Georgia count for the Democratic ticket
three times n many votes rs they have
voters in their several states. they can
only elect the whole board of electors.

Rebublcans should bear in mind thai
a good large vote in November is desir-
able and they should all make their
plans to get To the polls and secure II
large plurality for Harrison and Reid.
and thus help to do credit to the Re
publican party and the State of Maine.
There may have been some "bunkum'
in the words of John b. Donovan EST,
chairman of the Democratic State
committee, when after receiving the
usual annual drubbing in September,
he congratulated his party friends that
they were still alive and said ',now for
November, but there is little doubt
but that the Democracy of Maine are
getting their men in line with the in
tention OF polling Just rs heavy Il Vote
as possible in November for the sake of
keeping the discipline and courage of the
party up, and its ranks and file in good
practice.
They conceive that il may be an ad-
vantage to them to MAINTAIN the organ
ization and di,ciplin of the party To its
highest efficiency and are therefore more
than likely to get out large vote.
All that is necessary for Republicans
to do is to meet the enemy again AS they
did in September, get every man possible
to the polls and maintain the principles
of the party and their belief in them,
and interest in their triumph by working
earnestly 10 secure Il good rouSing
vote November Sth Republicans of
Maine can, at This time show their 10y
atty to the grand old party That has
fought so many grand fights forprinciplcs
and measures which have been of lasting
good to our country, in no o,her way 81
effectively and we'll as they can by roll
ing up a good large majority in the
near approaching election and we be-
lieyed they will do it. Let Somerset
Republicans do their part.

Business Affairs.

General trade is practically unchanged,
the volume of business continuing large
Iron is Il little higher and tirmer. There
has been IA good trade in wool and more
confidence is felt by dealers. The wool
cn mills are driving their machinery
pretty hard to keep up with their orders,
and this necessitates IA freer luying of
wool. In dry goods the Commercial
Bulletin reports that September showed
an increase not only over September of
last year, but over the same month for
many years previous. Collections are
astonishingly good. Margins are close,
but the large volume of business done
makes the condition of things prosperous
Locally, the dry goods situation is as
before reported. Manufacturers are

ing been killed by II rock thrown by John
Coley. which hit him On the right side OF
the head. Officers arrested Coley and
William Ham, the latter being held as II
witness.
tolev admitted the crime but claims to
have done it in self-defense. lie says Davis
knocked him down and afterward drew u
revolver, chasing him across the street.
He warned Davis to go back, but he per-
sisted in following him. Being unarmed,
Coley picked up IA large stone, which he
threw at Davis, Telling him to the ground.
Davis was As years old. He leaves a
widow and two children Coey is "a mar
ried rnan and has large family.
Coley's face shows marks of much
bruisiug, which tends to corroborate his
version of the story. Much excitement
prevails, and the prisoner is closely
guarded.

Let the Druggists Sell.

II is the general opinion, shared by
those of the most pronounced prohibi-
tion proclitities, that the restrictions
imposed upon druggists relative to the
dispencing of sprtuous liquors, must he
to some extent lessened The registered
druggists of Maine are a a rule, honor
able men, engaged in Il Legitimate bust
ness. Spirituous liquors are official
remedies, as much so as salts or sulphur,
aud as much entitled to be dispensed as
any other article of the materia medica.
With proper restriction there would be
no more II ed of wrong doing than there
is now and those engaged in the business
would not have to be embarrassed for
the sins of others. -.1Uburp Guzcttc.

that he ~aS takinga short vacation, but

IN the watch factory During the past
ive years he has taken an active part in
local politics. having been until last jar
uary secretary of the Waltham Demo
cratic committee. He was one of the hard
est working Democrats in this city
The only solution of the mystery that
can be thought of is that in fit of d,

resigned his position AS secretary of the
Democratic committee his health has been
very poor. Al the time he went away, Mr.
Hutchinson had just got out after a hard

Friday, October 21st Instant,
the date designated by Congress as the Four
Hundredth Anniversary OF the discovery OF
America, has been declared National Holt
day.
1t is pre-emnently fitting at this time, when
our Country is lending its energies to celebrate
upon scale of unparalleled grandeur the
great achievement OF Columbus in revealing
TO the world the wonders of a new continent,
that this day so fraught with historic Interest
should be given such an observance as shall
serve to imbue the minds of the rising genera
tion with deep and abiding sense of its i'm
portanCe.
1t has been wisely urged by the National
Educational Association and by the Worlds
Congress Auxiliary of the Worlds Columbian
Exposition that upon this occasion "all the
people of the United States unite in ce Zebra
ton Of the anniversary, of which celebration
the public schools of the Republic be every
where the centre"
Now, therefore, l, Edwin C Burleigh, Gov
ernor Of the state of Maine, do earnestly re-
commend that Columbus Day be observed by
the schools OF our State as a public holiday
and that citizens generally suspend, so far as
possible, their customary business pursuits
and lend themselves to the celebration of the
day which commentaries the opening up of
this continent to progress at once the won
der and admiration of the world.
Given at the Council Chamber at Augusta
this eighth day of October, in the year of
our Lord. One Thousand Eight Hundred
and Ninety two and of the Independence
of the United States of America the one
hundred and seventeenth.
