POLITICS.

The Democratic congressional Caudi-
dates ia the second and Third Districts
of Maine sre GOLD men, or stand on q
gold platform. lnSsmuch a. they, Il
elected, would have some voice In the
settlement II the silver question, while
the governor IL Maine will have none
whatever. perhaps il would De well 20
reconstruct the congressional a well a.
the gubernatorisl candidates.
Tom Watson, the Populis, nominee for
viee-president, on the Bryan and Watson
ticket, runs newspaper, and some Of
the papers are digging up unpleasant,
diStgreeable things which he said in his
paper abOu, BRYAN and his party before
the POpulist convention was held Some
of'the things quoted would be cause for
hard feeling outside Of politics, but per-
haps Bryan can swallow them.
The Democratic State Committee has
decided 20 re-cOuyene the state cOnven-
tiOn 20 nominate candidate for govern
or in place OF Mr.. Winslow who declines.
The delegates will De summoned 20 ss-
s~mhle At W4terville. Thursday, Aug. o.
Up 10 this time, every move on the
political checkerbOard has resulted in
pluuging the Democrats OF Maine still
deeper in the mire Of confusion. Per
haps this convention can strsighten
things out so they can begin 10 calculate
where they are al. And then again,
perhaps not.
The London Globe declares that
Whether Mckinley or Bryan is elected.
British interests are bound 20 suffer. "
II that view il correct, the present con-

has not been an election before in forty
years when the triumph Of the Demo
cratic party would not rebound 10 the
benefit Of Great Britain. la this case
the difference i not that the Democratic
party has become American instead Of
British. but because, as the Globe puts
the matter. the Democratic policy l.
free eoinsge coupled with cOnfscstory
