TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN FAssETT.
That Il the Arrangement Now Reported
From Minneapolis.
MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, June 2.-Today's
trains brought in the custodians Of both
the Harrison and Blaine booms. The
executive committee, it has been given
out, has agreed on ]. Sloat Fassett for
temporary chairman and Col. Charles W.
johnson of Minneapolis for temporary
secretary. Both are Blaine men. The
early arrival of the Harrison van guard
has proved a great surprise to the Blaine
men. Thew we're not expecting the Har-
rison boomers until tomorrow and their
arrival yesterday and this morning has
opened the preliminary skirmish day
sooner than was expected. The plan Of
the Harrison campaign, so far as it has
been disclosed, is first to make avigorous
and personal warfare on Messrs. Platt,
Quay, Foraker and other prominent anti
Harrison leaders, and second, if it become
necessary, to make an aggressive attack
on Mr.. Blaine himself, SO that it will be
impossible for the Secretary to permit
the use of his name. Senator Spooner
of Wisconsin was another Harrison
boomer who was on the ground today.
He declares that Blaine will prove him
self insincere if he accepts anything less
than the unanimous nomination which
he cannot get. Mr.. Spooner will second
Depew's nomination of Harrison in all
probability.

How the Lewiston Democrats Purge Their
dy Seems To Be Triumphant Over His
Old Foes-The Galatians Stubborn
Clan.
TspeciaI to the Press,1

LEWISTON, Me-, June 2.-To obtain a
correct understanding of the little diff
culties in which the Lewiston Democracy
is now involved, it will be necessary to
study ancient history for awhile, and to
pore over the dust-covered volumes of
the annals of the party in the Spindle
City long before the chieftains who now
wear the war paint, had girded on their
tomahawks and left their wigwams to
seek the scalps of the enemy.
Ask some of the warriors who have
now laid aside the battle axe, and who
sound the war-cry no more, what is the
cause of these internal dissensions, all
this warning among their children, and
they will say as the memories of past
conflicts flush their pallid cheeks, and
brighten their leaden eyes, that it is the
old Callahan Nc Gillicuddy fight on
again.
Ask them how long ago this war began
and they will tell you that it had its
birth on the soil of old Ireland long be-
fore Lewiston had been reclaimed from
the red men of the forest.
They will tell you that that family feud
which has been transplanted to American
soil, and which grows so luxuriantly
here is part of Irish history and can
never be wiped out.
For present purposes, however, it is
not necessary to trace these latest pro-
ducts of this family conflict, the quo
aoarrantos, the nadnddmuses, ETC., back to
their original origin.
Some nine or ten years ago, the De-
mocracy Of Lewiston, which intermit-
tently would obtain control of municipal
affairs, was under the especial care of
The Callahan Faction.
mean by that, that it was so as much
as any one faction could control the
party. Of course there were Democrats
like Charles Walker, Seth Wakefield,
DR.. A. Garcelon, etc., who didn't re-

WASHINGTON, June 2.--In the House
today Mr.. Dingley of Maine, speaking of
an amendment to the post office appro-
priation bill increasing the appropriation
for the star routes, favored the extension
of mail facilities to rural districts, con-
tending that such extension would con-
duce greatly to the general benefit of the
country.

fore us must pause at the portal and
make another word of explanation,
which seems necessary to make these
annals not only accurate but lucid.
The fourth ward, away back as far as.
the memory of the politician reacheth,
and for that matter politicians memo
ry is not very long-the fourth ward has
been deemed the special property of the
Galatians.
Just before the last election it came to
the sensitive ears of the administration
that these Galatians were to try to carry
the fourth ward caucus. The admins
tration naturally sought to prevent it.
At the first caucus the Callahan candi-
date, William Leader, was elected. But
there is many a slip between cup and lip,
and this time the city committee was the
slip. They held meeting and decided
the caucus wasn't a genuine caucus and
ordered another. i .f
At the next one, ex-Mayor A. M. Gar
celon defeated Mr.. Leader for the nomi-
nation, and full anti Callahan board of
officers were nominated. Whether there
were good grounds for the second eau
Gus will not undertake to say, and real
ly it is immaterial.
The Democratic ticket was elected, the
party had a majority in both boards, and
Mayor Newell
was given second term.
Saturday night before the Inauguration
Monday the newly elected aldermen and
councilmen of the Democratic faith held
caucus to choose city officers.
At this caucus it was discovered also
that any attempts to cajole back the dove
of peace were futile and that the rancor
of discord sat with them.
When the nominations had been made,
J. Fl. Callahan of ward three, J. j. Gala
han, T. C. Murphy and J. j. Ryan, of
ward six, Callahan partizans all, de-
clared they would not vote for City
Clerk Belleau for he had said something
about Mr.. T. f. Callahan at one time.
The next day these objectors made an
alliance with the Republicans which
gave them a majority in joint conven-
ton, and as I say joint convention ]
sound the key note of this latest phase of
the trouble.
The administration Democracy heard
of this combine and at the next meeting
| of the city government they adjourned
| without going into joint convention.
| They persisted in this and then came the
mandamus. The administration fought
this but the courts have recently decided
to grant this order which will compel
the two bodies to come together.
We will now bid adieu to the manda-
mus and approach the resolution aspect
| of the case.
Tuesday, May "a, the Democratic city
committee held a meeting, and such q
meeting as it was! The first thing pro
posed was to
| Expel John j, Ryan,
one of the disaffected councilmen, from
the city committee. This was done
| Then the resolutions came. They reciteC
