 Senator Brioe ssys-views of Senator
 Peeer as s Silver Spokesman.
 There has been no such capitalization of sentiment among Democratic pof- ticians as to make it possible to predict with any degree of certainty who will be the nominee of that party at the Chi eago convention.
 Up to the present time the contest has been waged over the platform, and as it was not until their victory in Kentucky that the silver men felt sure of being able to control the convention they have not yet had time to form any plans in regard to the man to place at the head of the ticket have talked with a large number of Democrats to- day from all sections of tho country and representing every shade of convic- ton on the financial issue find that the two men most talked of by the sil- yer men are Vice President Stevenson and former Governor Boies of Iowa Among the southern men the vice pres ident seems to be regarded with most favor, while some of the western men are inclined 10 prefer Mir. Boies.
 It is becoming apparent, especially since the defeat of the administration ill Kentucky, that President Cleveland is being deserted by some of tho men who have heretofore been regarded as friends of the administration, and that even if the administration should at tempt to influence the sound money men to bolt tAe nominee it would be deserted by many men who have been regarded as it's warmest supporters

Portland Gun Clubs Shoot.

The merchandise shoot of the Port

Ocean street, Woodfords, Saturday, was
a success and was quito largely attended.
The shooting commenced at a. M, and
continued until 6 p. IN. Several mem
bers of the Bath Gun Club were present.
It seemed to be an off day with many of
the members and several made yery
poor scores. Some excellent scores were
also made. 1t would be impossible to
give the total scores as they were probab

favorable.

THE SHAW TANN ERIES.
United States Leather Company Talking of
Purchasing System.

Vanceboro, May 3O.-It is reported that
a representative of the U. S. Leather
Company has been making tour of in
spection of the Shaw tanneries in eastern
Maine with a view to purchasing the
entire property.
Since the great Shaw failure 10 years
ago, the tanneries have been operated for
the creditors by board of trustees, of
which Charles W. Clement of Boston is
the agent, or &C ting member. Under
Mr.. Clements management the business
has prospered fairly we'll and the inter-
est of the creditors carefully guarded.
The tanneries are located at Grand Lake
stream, yanoehoro and Princeton. There
was another in Township Is, but 1t was
burned sometime ago. The principal es-
adjustments are those at Grand Lake
stream and Vanceboro. The first men,
toned used to employ about 100 men, the
one at Yanceboro 80 to 100. Business Is
not very good now, and tie crews are
much smaller than formerly; still, the
business hos been kept alive and the pro-
perty maintained in good condition.
In case the U. S. Leather Company
should purchase tho tanneries, there is
considerable anxiety here as to whether
or not the business would be continued.
1t is said that the U. S. Leather Compa-
ny employs a different method in tan
ming than that in use here, and that it
" ould cost $40, COO to fit the Vancetoro
tannery with the machinery for their
process. Many consider it very doubtful

Impression that if the deal was made the
purchasers would shut these tanneries
down for the purpose of ourtailing pro-
duotion.

REV. Mr.. KImMELL's ADDRESS.

We are at the CLOSE of another Memo
rial Day-the day upon which our people
pause in the midst of their busy indus
tries, and think reverently and proudly
of the men who years ago put aside the
1abors, the opportunities, the plans, the
hopes OF their life, turned from the pres
ence of loved ones, went out of their
homes to Southern battlefeds, and there
faced death in the service of their coun-
try. The burial grounds wherein the
bodies of many of them we're laid have
been visited, and their graves decorated
with the beauty and bloom of earth.
1t was a fitting thing to do, and tenderly
while their forms have departed. the
memory of them has not persisted, but is
still lovingly cherished; and that while
fading flowers have been placed upon
their sacred dust, their spirit has been
crowned with immortelles of gratitude
and honor.
We all must rejoice, I am sure, that
they are thus COMMUNICATED. We all
must rejoice that this has become one of
the most popular and important anniver-
saries of our land. And We must hone
too, that the day will be no less uniyer-
sally and heartily observed long after the
last soldier of the Civil War shall have
