Republicans Expect Over
10000 Majority.
LARGEST IN A PRESIDENTIAL YEAR
sound-AIoney Canvass Conducted Under
Most Favorable circumstance
The List OF Candidates.

AUGUSTA, Me-, Sept. 13.-If the
weather is fair tomorrow, Hon. Llewellyn
Powers, Republican, will be elected gov
ernor of Maine by over 10000 majority,
with strong possibility that the figures
will be nearer 10000. At least, that is
what the prophets of both parties, who
have been figuring the vote for the past
three weeks, declare. Final instruc-
tfons have been given, all plans are
the battle of ballots which will show to
what extent the people of the state favor
the gold standard, and how many are
enlisted in the cause of free silver.
Chairman Manley, of the Republican
state committee, believes that the fig
presidential year, and his Democratic
opponents practically agree with him.
Not in twenty years has the Pine Tree
state seen such a vigorous canvass with
SO much interest manifested. During
the last three weeks, it is estimated that
over 700 speeches have been delivered in
all sections of the state by orators of
local and national fame, in behalf of
both parties. Tons of campaign docu-
ments have been distributed.
The Republican canvass has been con-
Quoted under the more favorable circum-
stances. Maine has never heard so
many distinguished Republican orators
as during the, past few weeks. On the
other hand, the Democratic host has had
many dissenters within its lines and the
number of prominent deserters has been
large. Six weeks ago, all was confusion
and disorganization in the Democratic
camp. The fighting fund was small and
victory was practically impossible. But
the supporters of free silver rallied the
faltering army, and took up the contest,
determined to make the best fight pos
sible and until the last gun-was fred,
they resisted stubbornly. The Demo
cratic managers maintain that the doc
trine of free silver was practically un-
known IN Maine two months ago, and
they argue that the Democratic vote
which will be cast tomorrow means that
their policy has made great gains in the
last few weeks. They declare that if the
Republican majority falls below 20,0O0it
will be a Democratic victory.

Reduction in Railroad Fares.

AS there will be numerous requests
for reduced rates on account of political
meetings during the coming contest, it
has been decided tina, IN order to treat
all parties alike, one fare rate will be
made by the 0. r. & n. Co. tor various
meetings of this character.
This of course is intended only for oc-
casions where there is sufficient number
to justify reduction in rates. This is
done SO that there will be no partiality
in favor of any one party.

the classes" in this contest and to that
end have held up the millionaires as
supporters of Mckinley and Hobart.
The fact that this was trifing with a
dangerous subject does not at all con-
Germ those who are endeavoring to
arouse class hatred. They seem to have
no conception of what they are doing1
Yet they are tanning a breeze that
may grow into a whirlwind. The effort
is one of the most mischievous that has
as yet been made, and especially as it
can be shown that this silver agitation
is due to the plotting of silver mine mill
lionaires. Touching upon this question
a Washington dispatch to the New YORK
Herald says:
The Republican congressional cam
paign committee has given out state
ment showing the part played by the
owners of the silver mines of the country
in shaping the course of the recent con-
ventions which have declared tor the
free and unlimited coinage of silver at
sixteen to one. The statement is intro
duced with a table giving the estimated
wealth of twenty-five individuals. and
corporations engaged in silver mining
and directly interested financially in the
opening of the mints to free coinage.
This is the table:

KEY WEST, Sept. 13.-Advices from
Havana by the steamer Mascotte give
details of a massacre of Cubans in Ma
tanzas province by Spaniards under
General Molinas. The butchery oc-
Cured on Las Calas sugar estate. Moli-
mas heard an iEsurgent band was en-
camped on the estate and ordered raid.
The insurgents had gone when the
Spaniards arrived, and Molinas ordered
the buildings on the estate destroyed.
The Spaniards surrounded the homes of
the employees, applied the torch and
shot the Cubans as they rushed out.
Eighteen men and four women were
killed outright, while thirteen others,
including three children, were wounded.
Molinas was pleased spectator of the
massacre, and reported it to Weyler as
aHglorious victory"
Thursday Insurgents raided and
burned the town of San Francisco de
Paula, suburb of Havana. The Span
ish garrison of 300 men surrendered, but
were released after being disarmed. The
smoke and flames were visible in Ha.
vana, and caused great excitement.
Weyler seems to have completely lost
his head. He is having leading citizens
of Havana arrested by the wholesale
Weyler says the men arrested have beer
plotting to have him recalled TO Spain
The arrests have profoundly stirred Ha

After criticism of some of the wealthy
men who are working for free coinage
the statement charges that William j.
Bryan has for years been paid to deliver
silver orations, and concludes:
''To the silver mine owners the cleo
tion of Bryan and of free silver Demo-
cratic house means millions. Placing
the product of their mines "a ,0O0, 600
ounces a year, though it would soon be
l0O, COO, 900 ounces, and the government
paying them at the rate of 31.29 an
ounce, and granting, for the sake of ar
gument, that it cost them sixty-eight
cents an ounce to NINE it, the people of
the United States would pay into the
pockets of the silver miners SAL 900 600
per annum, and make gigantic monopo-
lies in their platform. This is an un-
duly conservative estimate of the pro-
fits of the silver barons; the actual fig
ures would more likely be $75, ,000, 900
per annum. It will be thus be seen at a
glance what is involved in the election
of Mr.. Bryan, not counting the evils
that would flow from the retirement of
upward of 5000, 100000 of gold upon
which the credit of the nation is founded.
The silver movement is a conspiracy,
and those behind it are the most desper-
ate and unscrupulous men wLo have yet
become foremost in American affairs.

Recognized His Better Half.

An old man down IN Sherman county
would not believe he could hear his
wife talk distance of ten miles by tele-
phone. His better half was in Moro
during the recent thunder shower,
where there was telephone, and the
skeptic was at Grass Valley, where
there was similar instrument, and on
being told how to operate the thing he
walked boldly up and shouted, .Hello,
janet" At that instant lightning
struck the telephone wire and knocked
the old gent down, and as he scram bled
to his feet he excitedly cried, THAT'S
Jane, all right !"-Antelope Herald.
