THERE has been a very animated
contest over the postmastership at
ID arlington, and the several aspirants
have contributed largely to postal
revenues by sending innumenble
letters aud petitions to Washington.
The two principal candidates are S.
S. Driver aud James H. Martin,
each with a large number Of sup,
porters. 1t is probable that vote
Of the people of Darlington will be
held in order to determine the
matter. The same course will prob.
ably be taken with reference to

pending between friends of Thomas

FREMONT, Sept. ia sensational case,
hich caused considerable stir among the
people of this and neighboring town, was
brought before Trial Justice E. Webster
French. The complaint was made by
North East iiarbor pal lies against Trussell

forcible abduction. In the evidence it was
shown that sister Of Tfussel's wife had
been at work for several weeks, with her
sisters consent. in boarding house at

the disturbance her sister ard brother
in-law had come to the place
VI here she was employed, to take her hom,

in Philadelphia, as they alleged. The
girl, who was 10 years Old, refused to
accompany them, when the brother-in-law
declaring if she would not go by fair means
.he should by foul, seized her by the arms
snd attempted to drag her to the boat IN

Stale Treasurer.
Bangor Whig !

Mr.. Simpson enjoys the confidence and
esteem of his townsmen in high degree,
they having repeatedly elected him to posi-
lions of trust and responsibility. He has
served one term Of two years in the House,
two terms of four years in the Senate from
h,s county and is now finishing his second
term as a member of the Governors Coun-
ell, of which body he is chairman, having
been unanimously elected by his colleagues
to that position. He is chairman of the
committee on accounts and has twice served
on the committee to audit the accounts of
tie State treasurer, thus giving him an init
r'ste acquaintance with the details of the
cfHce. Concerning the general business of
the State he is thoroughly well posted in all
its branches and has always proved faithful
and efficient in the discharge of all duties
entrusted to his care.
The west has had the treasurer for the
full term. while Governor Cleaves, who is
now serving his first term and will un-
doubtedly be renominsted by acclamation,
also halls from the same section, so that
there seems to be no good reason why the
east should not have the treasurersbip when
General Beals successor is elected. In Mr..
Simpson this section will have candidate
of recognized ability and experience. Per-
scnally he is very popular and the an
nouncement of bis candidacy will be re-
ceived with pleasure by many friends all
over the State.

An Ideal Candidate.
(Old Town Enterprise J

Eastern Maine is to be congratulated
upon finding candidate for State treasurer
in the person of Hon. +. NJ. Simpson of
Carmel. 1t is generally acknowledged that
this section of the State has the strongest
of claims upon the office after the expiration
of the term of the present incumbent, Gen.
George L. Beal, of Norway, in January
next, at which time the Legislature will
chose his successor. Mr.. Simpson is al
most an ideal candidate for the place, a
thorough ard successful business man, he
has served his fellows in the several ca
pacities of selectman member of the Legis-
lature, State senator, and. more recently,
member of the Governors Council, of which
he is at present chairman by unanimous
choice of that body. He is also chairman
of the council committee on accounts. He
has thus acquired broad and accurate
knowledge of State affairs. OF unques,ioned
ability and strict integrity he has certain
rare qualities of heart and mind vhich make
him popular everywhere. 1t is safe to say
that if the east can have its way in elevat-
ing Mr.. Simpson to the post to which he
very properly aspires, the whole State will
have IN him treasurer capable of meeting
its every requirement.

FOR STATE TREASURER.
Popular Sentiment Favorable 10 Hon.
F. N. Simpson.
What Leading Papers Of the State Say Of His
Candidacy.

We present below clippings from various
Republican papers of Maine which show
how general and how cordial is the senti-
ment in favor of the election of Hon. F.
NJ. Simpson of Carmel, as State treasurer.
Among the many able gentlemen who
have won merited distinction in the sffairs
of their State, none is better qualified for
the duties of this important position. Mr..
Simpson is clean man in all the relations
of life. His rugged integrity, pleasing ad-
dress, and untiring industry have made him
host of friends in all sections of the State
"a fact fully attested by the general and
hearty character of the support which lead
ing Republicans all over Maine are accord
ing his candidacy.
As a candidate before the people Mr..
Simpson has never failed to run ahead of
his ticket. In 1884 he was nominated for
tne Maine House of Representatives in the
class consisting of the towns of Carmel,
I4evant, Stetson, ard Kenduskeag. Prior
70 that time the class had been Demo-
cratic for many years. 1t was a
splendid tribute to Mr.. Simpsons per-
sonal popularity that he was able to carry
it, and that,a a result of his efforts, it has,
yer since, remained securely in the Re-
publican ranks. He has always been an
active, earnest party worker. Much of
the credit for the splendid organz alton
which the Republican party has main
t tined in western Penobscot is due to
Mr.. Simpsons Jealous and untring efforts.
In lSs7-S and lSS9-90 he was a member
of the Senate from Penobscot county.
During all the years of his service in the
Legislature he was member of the COM
mittee on Financial Affairs and performed
the duties of this important position with
C conspicuous ability and success. lie thus
became thoroughly acquainted with all the
details of the financial policy of the State.
He was postmaster of Carmel under the
Harrison administration. He was a mem
Der of Governor Burleigh's council for the
years 1912, and is, at the present time, a
member of Governor Cleaves Council for
the years 1854. At the organization of
the council of Governor Cleaves, he was
unanimously elected as its chairman. Mr.
Simpson has discharged the duties of every
position to which he has been chosen with
marked efficiency and faithfulness. He
is young man of fine abilities and ster-
ling character-one whom the Republicans
Of Maine may well afford to honor. The
indications point strongly to his election as
State treasurer by large msjority.

A Nos, Desirable Candidate.
Rockland Star. )

Leaving sll question of Eastern Maine
snd Western Maine aside, +. NJ. Simpson
of Carmel is the most desirable candidate
thus far mentioned for the Office of State
treasurer. Mr.. Simpson is young man
and by his services SIS State representative
and senator and on the Governors Council
demonstrated that he is young man
Of ability, one who has always proved a
f.Uhful public servant in whatever csps-
city he has been called upon to act. The
publican party by dear experience has
harmed thst it csnn't keep its Young men
in the background and hold its grip upon
their votes The candi late from York
county is good fellow and has held many
pub ic offices with credit. He would make
a good State treasurer, but all things con-
sidered we believe Mr.. Simpson is the man
for the plsce. The Knox county delegation
will show good sense by giving its soil vote
to Mr.. Simpson.

II has been contended by some that Mr..

section, but the notices we copy this morn
ing from papers covering all sections Of the
State show how littl. foundation there is for
such statement. Indeed the endorsement
of Mr.. Simpsons candidacy seems to be
practically unanimous. He is known all
over the State ss man of sound business
judgment and irreproachable record in
public and private life, and the Indications
are that he will be elected by decisive
majority when the legislature convenes.

The Ireasuryship Should Gene East.
Bangor Whig. :

His fitness for the Office is fully
recognized and he has always proved faith
full public servant in whatever position of
trust he has been called. The east not
only presents strong candidate in the per-
son of Mr.. Simpson, but has strong claim
on the office. Since 1889 York county has
furnished four treasurers covering a service
of eleven years. Cumberland has fur
pished nine treasurers covering a service of
twenty-four years, or thirteen tressurers
with service of thirty-fve years from these
two counties. Counting MIR. Burleigh as a
Bangor man, the whole eastern section of
the State has had only six tressurers with a
service of seventeen years; this county two
treasurers covering 4 service of six years.
With the Governor coming from the west
ern section of the State there seems to be
an excellent reason why the treasurership
should come to the east, especially in view
of the fact that it presents candidate of
unQuestionable ability.

augurs well not only for his prospects of

Mr.. Simpson is one of the rising young

made an excellent public reputation.
He is member of the present Governors

usefulness in both branches of the Legis-

practically unanimous in his favor.
