Augusta, September 7.-Thomas Leigh,

Tor the past ten years been prominently
identified with the Democratic party, who
stumped New York state in 1888, for Cleve-

for the Democratic ticket. has announced
his withdrawal from the Democratic party.
He will, on Monday next, vote the Re-
publican ticket,and hereafter act with that
party. Mr.. Leigh is one of the rising
young men of Maine. He has natural gifts
of oIatory, and has taken "a prominent
stand as a member of the bar. He has be-
come thoroughly disgusted with the leaders
of the Democratic party and their betrayal
of public trusts, and dissatisfied that the
party is tending toward absolute free trade
and populistic ideas, and although he
sewers many family and personal ties in
making this POLITICAL ~change, he feels bound
to do it in order to maintain his own self
respect.
Tonight. William H. Fisher, another bril-
liant young lawyer, and John II. Cogan,

intention of leaving the Democratic ranks.
Mr.. Fisher has been a lifelong Democrat
