The Republican party has been
so long interested in the finances
Of the country, and in looking out
for the interests of the manufac.
turer, that they have lost sight of
needs of the co mmon people, those
who work with their hands for
their daily bread. These also have
their claims.

Fall River Liner Plymouth Had g

And Was Badly Shaken Up by the Great
Waves-Nothing But Her Staunchness

Fall Rivevr, Mass, December 27.-The
steamer Plymouth left for New York to-
night late. She did not arrive until 4. 30,
after one of the toughest trips ever en-
dured by Fall River line boat Leav-
Ing Sands PoiLt at the head of the
Sound this morning, she encountered
very heavy weather. Rounding into the
ocean and out of the Sound, she began
striking enormous seas running cross-
ways. which broke with terrific force
against her huge bulwerks. A heavy
water tank for supplying the toilet
rooms was knocked out of position, and
some framework shattered. The passen-
gers were much fright tened, and to add
to the excitement radiator was moved
out OF place IN the saloon, and a thick
headed fellow who saw the steam rush
ing from the broken pipe, thoughtlessly
gave an alarm of fire. One of the crew
OF the boat, who was near by. promptly

might have been serious panic. After

Especial to the PRESS.l

Augusta, Decent ber ~. A petition has
been circulated in this city this week
asking for the appointment OF Hon.
James W. Wakefield of Bath for State
Liquor Commissioner and the petition
was generously signed.
An effort was made to secure all the
signatures of the Republican city COM
mittee, but the committee was divided
between Mr.. Wakefield and Gen. John
Harper of Lewiston.
The friends of Gen. Harper always con
tended that he had the promise of the
appointment when the position was
given to Hon. Pascal P. Gilmore of Bucks
port on account. of preponderance OF
strength.
This position of liquor com missioner is
the best paying Office in the State. and,
therefore, it is not strange that there are
a multitude of candidates for the place.
Many of the applications will of course
never be considered, and when the time
comes the contest will be narrowed down
to three or four candidates.
While Governor Cleaves has way of
keeping very quiet about his appoint
ments, the "old guard" around the State
House, men who can generally tell which
way the wind Is blowing, are of the
opinion that it Mr.. Wakefield is not the
successful candidate it will be Portland
man. There issa rumor floating around
that the next legislature will abolish this
office on the ground that it is unneces-
sary. The liquor sales have fallen off
sec. 600 this year, and no one pretends
that the agencies get any better quality
of GOODS than if the town agents were
allowed to buy their own liquors.
There is movement on foot to change
the headquarters Of the Grand Lodge of

COMSTOCK INTRODUCED.
Lewis S. Street said he was indicted
June 20, 1889. for felony in connection
with green goods. The witness said two
indictments were found against him.
He was not in the green goods business,
and had no connection with the case.
The witness explained that Edward
Beck thold rented an Office from him at
76 Beekman street. Anthony Com
stock,n said he "came to my office
month after and asked me to tell the
name of the man who rented the offlce.
/ refused, and was brought to the tom bs
and held in $4,000 bail for making green
goods.n
The witness said Beckthold gave his
wife $4,000 as bail. Bail was finally re-
duced to $1,000, and Street was released.
"Beckthold told me-" said the witness,
"He gave $500 to Anthony Comstock to
square the Indictment in the United
States Court. / went to see Anthony
Comstock, and he SAID he was the only
man who could get the Indictment dis

August, 1890, and paid him $1,000 cash

partly perjury, and he said Beckthold
told him he paid Anthony Comstock
$1,000 and United States Attorney Mott
$1,000 to dismiss the indictments against
