The Creamery.

&C. S. Johnson, proprietor ofthe cream
erv has been handicapped in getting to
work by the impossible conditions OF
the roads. making it impossible to es-
tablish routes. He has, however, made
several trips into the country. and has
assurances OF having the cream from
800 to 1000 cows, which means daily
output of four or i've hundred pounds a
day. He will commence active business
not later than the 18th inst.
His nephew, c: H. Johnson, who was
to have been his buttcr-maker, has re-
moved to Avon, Mr.. Johnson having
leased prosperous creamery there and
placed his nephew in charge. An expert
enced man from st. Paul will have
charge of this one.
It is unfortunate. just as the creamery
here is about to start. that the price OF
butter has fallen off so sharply in the
central markets-a decline of three cents
during the past week.
Mr.. Johnson feels very much encour-
aged as to the outlook here. and assures
his patrons that they shall have the
most liberal of treatment-the highest
possible price. prompt settlement and
courteous treatment.

Hon. Nj. a. Hanna, Chairman Republican
National Committee. Chicago. Ill:
The Republican party has achieved this
day the most sweeping and magnificent
history of Maine. We have carried every
county in the State: elected every State
senator; at least $40 out of ISL members of
the House of Representatives; secured
every county officer: given each member
OF our magnificent delegation in the
House of Representatives the largest ma
Jority they ever received; elected our can
didate for Governor by the greatest ma
lority ever given candidate for that
high office: endorsed the St. Louis plat
form and declared for Mckinley and Ho-
bart ny 10000 ma iority.
The Republican vote will exceed by sew
eral thousands the largest Republican
vote heretofore given. and the vote given
the Democratic candidate for Governor
is the smallest Democratic vote ever cast
with one single exception and that is the
vote of 1894, which was only 1000 less. We
have kept pace with Vermont and proven
to the country that the Democratic plat
form adopted at Chicago will not prevail
when met by argument and reason.
We have been aided in this great con-
test by many Democrats. who placed
country above party, who believed that
you could not divide the people into par
common honesty. They share cur victory
with us. What more could Maine have
done for the cause of good government.

The alewive fishery in Knox and Lin
coin counties for 1896 has proved the
banner season in amount of fish
handled. The total catch has been
$3.50 barrels. and the number sold for
domestic purposes far exceed anything
of past seasons. This is due to the fact
that the price was reduced from so
cents to 81 cents per hundred. New

three banner towns in alewives in
