enthusiastic Republicans have signified
their intention of attending the national
convention at st. Louis. At least twice
this number can be depended upon to in.
crease the force. Among those who are
certain to go and lend aid to the candi
dacy of New England's favorite son for
the Presidency are Gov. Henry B. Cleaves
and Hon. Llewellyn Powers of Houlton.
who is assured of being elected the next
Governor of the State. ... The Commercial
Gazette sent letters to all members of the
Republican national committee stating
that the nomination of Mckinley at ST..
Louis being conceded, it was desired to
gather preferences for vice president. Re-
plies were published May 18th and show
that with the exception of three prefer
ences for Hobart of New Jersey, members
of the national committee favor Thomas
B. Reed for vice president Hon. c. F.
johnson of Waterville will preside over
the Democratic State Convention, which is
to be held in Portland. The Democrats
of Maine are to have a grand banquet in
Portland city hall on the evening of June
10th. 1t will be under the auspices of
the Falmouth and Young Mems Demo-
cratic Clubs. Vice President Stevenson
and Hon. William E. Russell have been
invited to be present. 1t is expected
that Harold M. Sewall of Bath will pre-
side at the Republican State convention

clared for prohibition; gold, silver and pa

public and private; for the free coinage of
silver at ratio of Is to 1; opposed to the
issuance OF bonds of government in time

agreed to favor woman suffrage. . The
Democratic candidates so far in sight are
Russell, Morrison, Boies, Bland, Carlisle
and Pattison. Cleveland is still keeping
dark, but it is somewhat significant that
he has taken very early opportunity to
deny that he ever told Wash Hesing that
he would not accept a denomination.
The Wyoming Republican convention
completed its work Friday. The plat
form declares for protection and bi- metal
ism and instructs the delegates to vote

Democrats are going for Horace Boies

has deserted Senator Wolcott and decided
to follow Senator Teller. Its delegation
will go to st. Louis with a banner inscrib-

CHARGED WITH HORSE STEALING. x Two boys on horseback came riding over the mountain and stopped at the Conner mansion about dusk. They said they came from Gadsden and asked for food and shelter The night was cold, and little Bragg Conner took compassion cn them and asked his parents to let the boys sleep in the barn. Consent vas given and they entertained Bragg with stories of their adventure after the manner of Huckleberry Finn. Last night Bragg was very much surprised and shocked when he learned that the police had arrested the boys and put them in jail charged with stealing horses. They no doubt found the city jail less comfortable than the Conner barn.
