WHAT THE COMMERCIAL SAYS.
Naturally Feels Well Satisfied Over the End
ing Of The Case.

Bangor. Sept 22-The Commercial
saws: Another and the final chapter III
fine somewhat famous libel suit oil
Bearce & Clifford, the Lewiston con
tractors. against the Commercial, was
furnished in the Androscoggin county SUI
nremc court at Auburn, Tuesday fore
noon. when, as had been long eNpecteu'
The announcement was made which gave
he Commercial a complete victory in TINS
long drawn out contest.
The case is so familiar to all readers OF
this paper that it need not be reviewed
at length. 1t grew out OF the Commei-
calls plain criticism IN cohneetipn, VIZ" f',,
the building of the Bangor city hall. Tor
which Mcssrs Bearce Il clifford had the
contract AT the trial before n jury IN
Lewiston last year the plaintiffs secured
a verdict of $500. The Commercial
promptly appealed TO the fun bench OF
the expressions of this paper were justi-
fable in short that a public newspaper
had Il complete right to criticize public
work, a principle of law which Is soiidiy
based upon common sense.
Then in accordance with the usua,
form. IL new trial was granted. but the
foundation upon which the plaintiffS
based their case had been so completely
and promptly demolished by the full
court that they did not consider it wise
TO pursue the matter further.
Therefore in the Androscoggin court.
Tuesday morning, when the case came
up. the plaintiffs Were non-suited and
must also pay costs, amounting TO $1,000.
The outcome of this suit will be very
gratifying to hundreds of people who be
lieVc that the taxpayers of Il municipality
should have Il right to protest most Wig
orously and plainly against what. in their
Judgment is gross mismanagement or
waste of the funds of that municipality.

BLUEFIELD.

Blueiield, w. Va, Sept. Especial. y
Col. III. L. Rocky, supreme deputy lee
turer of the X. A. +. o., has Just re-
turned to his home here from Cumber-
land, Md, where he organized II senate
of sixty members. The Essenes are gain
ing rapidly in numbers in the Virginias
and Maryland.
One of the best free silver speeches
heard in Bluefield during the present
campaign was that delivered Mt the City
Hall on Saturday night by Judge Sam
G. Williams, of Wytheville. The Judge
is the Democratic candidate for Congress
from the Ninth district of Virginia and
the opponent of Gen. Jas. A. Walker.
He spoke for nearly two hours to an en-
thusiastic audience and Mt the close of
his remarks was followed in short and
spirited talk by Judge j. NJ. French, of
Princeton. AT the close of the meeting
more than thirty names, among them
several Republicans, were added to the
membership of the Bryan and Sewall
club, which now exceeds 500 in number.
The Democratic judicial convention for
the ninth circuit of West Virginia was
held at Oceana, Wyoming county, on Sat
urday last. The names Of the Hon. John
W. McCreery, Of Raleigh county; Judge
L. l.. Henritze, of Welch, and Judge r.
G. McClaugherty, of Princeton, the pres
ent incumbent, were prominent. After
the meeting had been called to order Mr..
McCreery nominated Judge McClaugh-
erty and the nomination was seconded by
Judge Henritze, and made by acclama-
ton. The selection of Judge McClaugh-
erty was a wise one, AS he has shown him
self to be eminently qualification the posi-
ton. He will poll the full Democratic
vote besides many Republicans. The
course adopted by Messrs Henritze and
McCreery has caused much favorable COM
ment and greatly increased their popular
ity and future prospects.
Vicie, the eldest daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. r. B. Drinkard, of Bluefeld, died Mt
the home of her grandparents in Tazewell
county this morning.
AT Princeton, last Saturday, was held
reunion of the eXConfederates from
Mercer and adjoining counties. Efforts
will be made to effect permanent organ
ization, and steps taken to erect in the
near future, ut some suitable location, a
monument to the memory of friends who
were killed in the late unpleasantness
Able addresses were made by Col. J. M.
