His son had Lung trouble, following Typhoid

following proposition to Clark Howell, an
advocate of free silver, and proprietor of
the Atlanta Constitution: ''We will
wager Leslie's Weekly against the Allan

plurality of more than 100, 600 for McKin-

Bateman Turns About.
Maine PopulSt Declares He Believes Mckinley

Special despatch to the Boston Herald.l

Special despatch to the Boston Herald.l
LEWISTON, Me, Sept %, 1896. L. c.
Bateman, recently the Populist candidate
for Governor of Maine, now publicly de-
clares that he believes Mckinley will be
elected
The Democrats say that this is as they
expected, and that it only confirms theil
belief that he has, all through the cam
paign, been doing all in his power to aid
the Republicans.
The feeling against Bateman among the
Democrats is very bitter on account OF
his course since he believed he was slight
ed by not being promptly recognized by
Arthur Sewall and his friends. They say
that at once after the Chicago convention
he assumed the role of the one man in all
Maine to champion the cause of free silver
and to dictate to Democrats, whom he has
been abusing, both with tongue and pen,
in season and out for years. They fur
ther say that, in order to vent his spleen
against Arthur Sewall, he has shown him
self ready to defeat Bryan and the cause
to which he has claimed to have been SC
devoted.
