LEWlSTON'S POLITICAL POT
Boiling Over and the Hot Water
Scads the Democratic Brethren.
Or. Mar,eIl bamed for Mayor Republicans
Hopeful Of Resaining City.

| Lhwi>roS, Feb. 20 Special. l-fhi:
city is in Il political hubbab just now. Il
all came out of Sunday caucus in the
mayors room, where the Democratic man
ayers had met for the purpose of making
up the board tickets As is well known the
French vote will go to DIR. Martel. if he is
nominated at the general caucus to be held
in City hall tonight after . O'Clock.
! The representatives of the French Dem
ocracy were out in full force yesterday
DIR. Martel, who has formerly discouraged
| his own candidacy, was also present. Hon
| W. j. McGiIcuddy and City Marshal Me-
| Donough were trying to engineer matters
| political with the assistance of Mayor New
| ell.
| Their machinations were not just to the
| liking of the trench representatives. and
| DIR. Martel, who came suddenly to the con-
clusion that he had been made eats paw
of by the ring managers, made vigorous
kick. Hot words flowed fast.
Deputy Marshal Lajeunesse, power be-
hind the French vote, took sides with the
doctor, and when demonstrated with by
Mayor Newell, Mr.. McGillicuddy ami Mar
shal McDonough he just uncorked the vials
of his wrath and gave those gentlemen a
scathing overuaulng. Passion ruled the
hour and the bitter words TRAITORS and
"cowards'' were in common use
Voting in the ward caucnses began at
2. NJ. today and continued TO $50. There
were many sour faces about, for Martel fol-
lowers are hugging themselves over the
possibility that the blizzard may mean
victory for them at the general caucus to-
night.
Wards aud take in the rural sections
and it will be next TO impossible to get a
force out from those wards.
The Republican managers are con-
tenteily embracing themselves in hopeful
expectation, for it looks now as though
there would he race lines drawn at the
coming election and it such is a fact. You
may look for a Republican government for
Lewiston.

tive True of IIallowell has been doing some
professional work lately and the results car
be seen in the sessions of the Gardiner po
lice court
YESTERDAY morning Fred w. Sully, Lo-
renzo Cookson and Lincoln Warren were
arraigned for taking S25 belonging to a
Togus veteran named Clarke on .Ianu-
AIRY u.
flark's story was that on that day they
were all in kennison's saloon, and that he
was considerably drunk and finally got par
alyzed; that the three prisoners took him
in Cooksons team to the latter's home iT
Randolph, where he was put to bed tC
sober off that toward night he became
sober and came back to Gardiner, where he
missed money to the amount of s25 which
he had in the morning. This money he
charged the prisoners with taking while he
was unconscious.
The defendants told straight stories and

morning, and inferred that if he had any
money sHe WIS tHe cuiptlt Nuo tooh II, say
ing that the attention they showed him was
done ont of Kindness of heart.
Although the record of the prisoners was
against them, the evidence was so slight
that Judge Larrabee declared it was INSULT
cient to warrant him in binding them over
and they were accordingly discharged. The
hearing aroused much interest and large
crowd was present. Lawyer lleselton ap-
peared for Suily and Warren, and Lawyer
Andrews for Cookson.
Today another case will come before the
court in which the same Sully and VIM.

there alone; aud with stealing S23 which
was in the house.
The affair aroused much excitement at
the time and great interest is manifested in
the arrest and hearing of the two prisoners.

GOV. LEWElliNG
OF Kansas Makes a Statement About Wicked
Republicans and Angelic Populists.

TOPEKA, Kan. Feb. 20.-This afternoon
Governor Lewelling gave out statement
in writing, saying that while the Rcpubli-
cans are clamorous in boasting and affect
to believe that they have gained their point,
inquiry will establish that the Populists
have never lost sight of the one great essen
tial in this contest and will come out of
this imbroglio secure in its possession.
That essential is "The preservation of
the Populist House" To wipe that out of
existence he says, it was The dastarlly
and far-reaching purpose of the Republicans
when they preciptate6 the late insnrrec-
ton"
The Governor declares that for the su-
preme court to now declare the laws passed
by the Populist House to be invalid would
be to immediate itself the basest partisan de-
mands, and face wave of public indigua-
tion unparalleled since the days when the
notorious Judge Trescilian was followed to
the scaffold by an outraged people, and
where they beat him with slaves TO make
him ascend and then exulted at his just but
shocking execution
