Kennsbsc Republicans Prepare for Grand
Victory.

The enthusiastic convention of Kennebec
county Republicans held in this city Tues
day, was an excellent beginning of the cam
paign which is sure to result in one of the
grandest victories ever achieved in this
stronghold Of Republicanism, Kennebec
county. The candidates presented
to the SURFACES of the people of
this county are clean, able men, Republi-
cans. who have the best interests Of the
county at heart. The administration Of
the county's affairs in the past by the Re-
publican party is the best recommendation
that any political party could have for con-
tinnance in power. E.'
Those who received denomination at the
convention yesterday, have done too good
work in the past to need mention here.
Geo. W. Heselton, Esq, the candidate for
county attorney, is one of the leading law
syefs of the county and win come to the Office
well equipped In every way to render the
county excellent service, following as he
does Hon. l.. T. Carleton, who has served
the county in that capacity with exceptional
ability. The new candidate for senator,
Hon. Martin L. Reynolds of Sidney, by
occupation farmer and with reputation
for broad business abilities is admirably
qualified for the office to which he will be
elected in September. The wisdom Of the
choice of Hon. J. +. Hill, Hon. Elliott
Wood and Hon. Martin L. Reynolds to rep
resent the interests of the county, State and
Republican party in the State Senate is ap-
parent to all men. For county commission
er Hon. Ruel c. Burgess of Vassalboro was
nominated. He ably represented his town
in the Legislature four years ago and is q
man of business experience and ability. He
will be worthy successor of Hon. Charles
Wentw orth whose six years service in the
capacity of county commissioner has been
highly creditable in every respect.
The convention was an enthusiastic one
and there will be united effort and enthusi-
asm in electing the ticket.

A first glance At the wool and WOODEN
schedules inclines one to the belief that
the Democratic party believes the wool
grover to have been the protected robber
baron and the wooden manufacturer de-
serving of special favoritism- fAvoritism
being the word defined in the Democratic
dictionary for protection. There il. little
doubt, however, that the Democrats believe
that the I'D ,alorem duty will be subject to
undervaluations as it always has been in
the past 50 that the extent of the favoritism
cannot be measured by the amount of duty.
Among the ridiculous features of the bill
are those relating to WOODEN cloths and to
ready made wooden garments. The former
are dutiable at 80 per cent and the latter at
45 per cent. This 10 the inducement held
out to the enterprising American dealer to
get his clothing manufactured abroad.
Just Why the Democratic tariff auc-
tioneers have q rod in pickle for
the tailors and clothing manufacturers of
this country remains to be Explained as does
their enmity to the wool grower. However.
it is noted that the tariff tinkers have not for
cotton to look olt for the shoddy manufsc-
turers. The free trade dudes have claimed
all along that they couldn't buy cloth good
enough for their immaculate backs in this
country. Under proper protection and COM
petition, however, the clothing manufacturers
have demonstrated this to be false. Per-
hsps for this reason the shoddy manufac.
turer has been better protected. 1t 10 more
charitable to the tinkers to believe as one
easily can, that they didn't know what they
were about while putting together this
"piebald patchwork of pusillanimity."

Railway Companies sue TO Recover Losses
by tho Strike.

CHIcAeo. Aug. L. Notices were
served Monday by samuel u. Foster
attorney In fact for several railroads,
OF damages claimed against the city
of Chicago and the county Of Cook for
loss Of property during the late strike.
The notices were served on the mayor.
city clerk. the corporation council. the
city attorney and on the president OF
the county board, the county clerk and
the county attorney. The aggregate
damages claimed are s8s,67O. This
presents only about one-tenth of the
actual damage claimed, many roads
having several days left in which TO
file their claims. The roads which filed
claims with the amount OF damages,
are as follows:
Lake Erie a Western. $1,000; Detroit, Grand
Haven Milwaukee. $50. Chicago A. North
western. $40; Chicago Refrigerating line. si,-
Oi0 New York Central & Hudson River Rail-
way company, $40 Monon. $3.50. Flint Pierre
Marquette. $50; Chicago a Erie, 800; Swift
Refrigerator line, $780, Armour Refrigerator
line, 500. Central Car Trust company OF New
York. toOO Chicago Grand Trunk, si2ibo;
Grand Trunk railroad, f.TS5. and Grand Trunk
company OF Canada, s5.sa5.
Besides these claims shippers filed
through Mr. Foster claims amounting
TO at least 100000 This was done by
the shippers on the express declaration
OF the railroads that they will pay
no claims whatever made against
them by shippers for damages to
freight handled during the strike.
The general managers association
takes the ground that the city and
county in not furnishing adequate pro-
lection To the railroad are directly re-
sponsible for all damage 10 freight.
The damages claimed by the railroads
in the above list are mostly for cars
burned after July l. IL is believed
many more suits for damages viii be
filed by shippers who lost heavily on
perishable freight during the strike.
At the session OF the city council
Monday night an ordinance was adopt
ed directing the corporation counsel to
Immediately begin an investigation
and collect evidence which will be
used by the city in defending the suits.

CAN'T LEAVE THEIR TRAINS.
Striking Engineers OF Mall Train Guilty
OF RetardIng the Mail.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Aug An en-
gineer who abandons mail train is
guilty of "a violation of the United
States statute relating TO retnrding
of the mails. Judge Williams
announced the fact Tuesday in
ruling upon the indictment against
Engineer William Best and Fireman
Albert Kcllett. He directed an ac-
quittal Of the men on the charge OF
conspiracy 20 do an unlawful act be-
cause of the failure OF proof, but no
chiefly stated that he thought them
guilty of the charge OF retarding the
mail in deserving their train on
main line. The principal thing
the strikers were anxious 90 have es.
tablished in the case was that man
could legally abandon his train, but
the Judge decided the other way. This
ruling was also desired by the rail-
read company much more than con-
viction OF the men on trial. The de-
cision comes in direct ruling on a
point discussed and not rs an obiter
dictum.
