/ RECEIVING THE CONVENTION News. The
! citizens of Belfast are indebted to tie West
ern Union Telegraph Company for news
from the Minneapolis convention. The buIle-
tins Were posted in front of the building and
attracted much attention. When the bal
/ lotting for candidates took place there was
/ much interest, but when il was announced
that President Harrison had been renoni-
mated ON the first ballot there was he an
! plauSe. In fact the news was received in
silence. Belfast Republicans are intensely
/ loyal to Mr.. Blaine and hoped for his nom
nation. but Mr.. Harrison is easily the Sec
ond choice. The convention news did not
absorb 50 much attention as on former oc-
/ casionS.
| The Republicans of the representative
class composed of Montvile, Liberty, Paler-
mo, Morrill,, Freedom and Waldo met at
Centre Montvile Friday, June 10th. at ,

meeting was called to order by E. A. Porter.
of Liberty, who read the call and called Mr..
D. o. Bowen. of Morrill,, to preside over the
meeting E. A. Porter was chosen clerk. As
there are six towns in this class and there
can only be five representatives elected in
the next decade, it was somewhat of a diff

cussion the following apportionment was

The Burleigh Club in Montville.

To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL: In a
recent issue of the kennebec Journal APP
peared an article containing a report OF
the formation of Bureigh Club in Mont
vile, in which it was stated that siXty-seven
Republicans, over one-half of the Republican
voters in MontviIle were present The facts
about the formation of that Burleigh Club
are that the whole number of voters present
(including some Dernocrats) did not exceed
fifteen persons. 1t seems that the above
method of Misrepresentation has been re-
sorted to by some of Mr.. Burleigh's friends
to prejudice the public mind, but it is evident
from the facts, that at the Waterville con-
vention, Waldo will be solid Tor nearly so)

THE PRESIDENTIAL PLOT.

Fresh Evidences of the Use of Republican
Doodle.
The plan of the republicans to buy
the presidency progresses brazenly in
spite of its detection.
The money is being raised. The
names of corruptible voters are being
secured. The skilled agents of corrup-
ton are at the republican headquar-
tiers.
The whole republican plan of cam
paign is proceeding upon the tactics
which proved successful in 1880 and
again in 1888.
A republican leader of Pennsylvania
recently boasted at the committee
rooms that Harrison would have 60, 900
majority in that state, ''and more if
necessary" What possible use can
there be for meetings in this Glib raltar

prominent leaders of the party, except
to warm up the beneficiaries of the
robber tariff to yield their fat to the
friers?

FARM NOTES.

Success in farming is rapidly resolv-
ing itself into success in making, saving
and applying all of the manure posi-
bic.
Manure can be hauled ont and ap-
piled at any time during the. fall and
winter when the other work will
permit.
Select out some of the best hay and
grain and store away for spring feed
ing. This will be found quite an adj
vantage.
With poultry, as with many another
. business, the first year is the most try
ing. Once fairly started, the road to
success is easier.
Mulching not only aids to retain
moisture in the soil, but also helps to
keep the ground loose and IN a proper
condition for root growth.
Whenever the orchard is pruned all
the brush should be carefully gathered
up and either thrown into the gullies
to prevent washing or be burned
If one goes to the expense of planting
out an orchard he should do the work
well. and in due season he viii be able
to enjoy the results OF his labor.
While it is more convenient, at least
on the farm, to allow poultry n good
range, yet because this Is given they
should not be expected to make their
own living.
The American farmer thinks he has
hardly time enough to sort his potatoes;
nevertheless 1T could be done at the
time of housing with less outlay than
subsequently,.
One advantage in using dry earth as
an absorbent under the roosts and in the
feeding places in winter Is that 1t aids
in preventing lice and also affords q
good material for the hens to scratch in.
1t is not the largest hens that lay the
largest eggs by any means As a breed
the black Spanish lay the largest eggs,
which are of a beautiful white color.
All the non-sitting breeds lay white
eggs
The farmer who will dig his potatoes
and allow them to lie in the bright,
warm sunlight is not posted, Potatoes
should be kept in the dark If the
reader has a root cellar, that Is the
place to keep them in: but before hous-
ing keep them in piles and cover them
with horse blankets, or any similar ma
teriaL
Winter mulching should not be APP
piled until after the ground Is frozen
As the nulching is not done to keep
the soil from freezing, but TO obtain an
even temperature, it is best to wait I'M
til the ground has frozen hard enough
to bear up a wagon With small fruits
1T is nearly always best to-cover the
whole surface of the ground with the
mulch. but with trees a circle three het
in diameter will be sufficient for an
average sized tree. Care should be
taken to apply it evenly on all sides
