Laughter. The speaker drew a radiant pic
ture of this down-east land; he described the
bills and the sea-coasts as only lover OF them
could. With this land of promise before him
he dlscountenanced Fort Payne and Southern
investments. keep your money and your
boys at home" he said, and this sentiment was
spplauded to the echo. Why had the youth
left Maine? he asked, and this question he
tersely answered by saying that they had left
because their tOwnsmen had sent out their
money and they wanted to be where it was
distributed. He devoted timely words to the
discussion Of the widespread influence of
Maine men and read clipping from q
newspaper to show that Maine women were
organizing clsbs of Daughters of Maine in
various states. In a poetic and picturesque
way he told how the bells and the bellies
Of Castine came to Ellsworth and how
far from there the latter had journeyed from
the land Of the rising to the land Of the setting
sun. In circumstantial way Mr.. Redman
told how Senator Hale and others had inaugu-
rated purchases of land in Eastern Maine that
would develop great industries, how the whole
State Is poisoning with industries In cotton,
wool and pulp. He spoke particularly of the
great Aroostook railroad and said that while
shipbuilding everywhere but at Bath was at q
low ebb, man down his way had sold q pre-.
scriptiOn to cure all ills, and now 10000 bot
ties Of Dana's Sarsaparilla have been sent out
side this State to heal the nation. Who shall
not say that this is the Yankee land, when we
turn foundry into laboratory for the elixir

banquet the Lewiston journal publishes fine
