located on the site of his first settlement
at Isabella, in Santo Domingo. A
plat OF ground has been secured and
special concessions obtained from the
Dominican government. The location
is on the site Of the first church built in
the newly discovered country, and here
will be erected a bronze statue of Colum-

on a pyramid of coral and limestone and
pointing with one hand to a globe, on
which is depicted the first settlement,

A WORD TO COL. DOW.

In the Express last evening, Colonel
F. n. Dow made certain statements, ac-
cusing the PRESS correspondent at the
Bangor convention of misrepresenting
the circumstances Of Mr.. Freeman's ap-
pointment to the state committee. The
PRESS correspondent stated the facts
truthfully. The appointment was sur
prise to the Cumberland men present,
for the PRESS correspondent consulted
them before sending his despatch. 1t is
true that Mr.. Freeman, under pledge of
confidence, informed the PRESS cores
pendent on the way over on the train
that the appointment would be made.
The PRESS correspondent at once pro-
tested that such way of making the
appointment was not proper, but dis
claimed any authority to represent Mr..
Reeds wishes. At the request of the
Press correspondent Mr.. Freeman went
to Hon. C. F. Libby and under the same
strict Injunction of confidence, informed
him Of what was to be done. Mr.. Libby
also disclaimed any authority to repre-
sent Mr.. Reeds wishes, but
expressed the opinion that Mr..
Reed, on account of his position in
the party, ought to be consulted in an APP
pointment from his own county so i'm
portant as that of member Of the state
committee. Neither the PRESS cores
pondent nor MI. Libby felt that he
could, without violating his promise
of confidence to Mr.. Freeman, consult
with other members of the Cumberland
delegation present at Bangor, but sug-
gested reasons why an appointment
made without consultation either with
the county committee, or notice even to
the delegation from Cumberland to the
state convention would be open to criti-
cisin. The PRESS correspondent sug-
gested to Mr.. Freeman the propriety of
asking Mr.. Dow to defer the appointment
until Mr.. Reed could be consulted and
the sentiment of Cumberland county be
ascertained in the matter Mr.. Freeman
went to Mr.. Dow, and returning, report
ed that Mr.. Dow declined to defer the
appointment.
After the appointment had been made
the PRESS correspondent asked the most
prominent Cumberland county Republi-
cans present if they had had knowledge
of the proposed appointment, and every
one of them replied that he had not
known Of it--excepting, of course,
Mr.. Libby. Under these circumstances
the PRESS correspondent felt justified in
The Portland daily press., 1892-04-29

telegraphing that the appointment had
been made in a secret and unseenly man
ner. He still believes that the method
was improper, and will confidently abide
the decision of honest and thoughtful
men. We regret much that Mr.. Free
nan is being made the subject of so
much controversy. He is a gentleman;
md we believe that he made honorable
effort to have the matter deferred until
the sentiment of Cumberland county
could be ascertained.
