county, we deem it entirely in order to
call attention to the fact that the state
democratic executive committee, the
highest party authority in the state, sus-
tanned the action of the executive COM
mittee in Pike county. The committee in
Pike did just what the committee in JEFF
ferson did. 1t passed upon credentials
and determined what delegates had the
prima facie rights to seats in the county
convention. The Pike county committee
was Clarke committee and it's action
was sustained by the state committee,
which was favorable to Johnston, there
fore it cannot be alleged that the decis-
ion was partisan.

twill Mr.. Williams receive the nomi-
nation of the so-called regular Democra-
cy for governor ?''
Yes" replied the congressman, I
think he is certain now to get it. The
element of the Democracy which is OPP
posed to him, but which does not seem
to be able to get its courage up to the
boiling point, will of course oppose him,
but I do not believe it is possible for
them to prevent his securing the prize.
As far as the Republicans of Massachu-
setts are concerned. we certainly hope he
will receive it, and the people will give
the Hon. George Fred the deepest and
the deadliest kind of political burial.
1t will be underneath such tomb of bal
lots that it will take the Dedham states

'What do think of the campaign in
general ?'
"Well, I believe the so-called silver
craze, which was almost born in night,
and which did seem to threaten to run
riot at one time, is steadily decreasing in
its force throughout the entire country,
and I further believe that the fading of
the silver sentiment will be continuous
and increasing until the golden sunshine
breaks upon one of the greatest victories
in the history of the Republican party.
I am almost inclined to believe that the
result is going to be something like the

A MISLEADING CIRCULAR.
Statement from the Hon. william H.
Clifford.

Portland, Me-. August 26, 1895.
To the Sound Money Democrats and to
whom it may concern:
Prior to the recent Sound Money Dem
ocratic Mass convention held in Port
land, August 20, 1895, a circular appeared
in the city headed with the words
Democratic testimony as to the results
of the free coinage of silver, and was
directed to the Democratic voters OF
Maine. This circular proceeds to set
out, within vague and insufficient
quotation marks, the address Of the
Sound Money Democrats who Withdrew
from the Wateryille convention on the
9th inst, including the names of the
signers thereof. This circular concludes
with the following words: "A vote for
the straight Republican ticket will help
to prevent this result" I am informed
that it has been admitted that this oirou:
lar was sent out from the Repu blican
City Committee of Portland.
Whatever may be the intention, the
practical effect of this publication is to
create the impression that the words: A
vote for the straight Republican ticket
will help prevent this RESULT is the ad-
vice of the signers of the original address.
These words have been ADDED by the
publishers of the circulars without the
knowledge of the signers of the address,
To the extent that the words: IA vote
for the straight Rep ublican ticket will
help to prevent this result" are used to
create the impression that such is the
opinion and advice Of the signers of the
address and were by them appended
thereto, the circular Is false and contrary
to the purpose and intention of the sign
ers of the address.

HON. WIN. S. KNOX.
One of Massachusetts Able and Popular
Congressmen Comes to Aid in the Maine
Battle for Sound Money.

Congressman William S. Knox Of Mas
sachusetts, was at the West End Hotel at
dinner yesterday forenoon. Mr.. Knox
talked very freely with PRESS man
who called on him there. He is on his
way to the Second District, where no IS
to speak number of times in the CAM
paign and in Cumberland county also. Mr..
Knox said that the campaign was hardly
begun in earnest on the Republican side
in Massachusetts,, but would soon be in
full blast. He believes the Massachu-
sets vote will be overwhelming in it's
majority for sound money, and he also
thinks that the vote of the sound money
Democracy for their own candidate will
be much larger than many people i'm
agine.

NOT A GOOD SAMARITAN.

He Tried to Be- but Finally Rode ~ on
the Other Side.
There was a report like the report of an
overgrown popgun.
Her heart sank within her and her tire
sank beneath her. She had become pos
sessed of punoture, and Sheridan (the

She bumped along on the wooden rim
for dozen feet, then dismounted and
viewed the fattened tire with eyes that
slowly filled with tears.
Weeping upon her feet was too much
like work, so she sat down and wept upon
the grass
About this time the good Samaritan was
sighted on the distant horizon. he was by
nature Philistine, but he never went by
on the other side when he discovered a
woman In distress, provided close inspec-
ton of the woman plainly demonstrated
to him that she was pretty woman.
Searching to her side he politely lifted
his hat, begged her pardon for taking the
liberty of addressing her, and then inquired
the cause Of her grief

"And you cannot repair it2" he asked.

"Oh, yes, I CAM he cried confidently.

Then, as the tool kit yawned before him,
he clutched wildly at his hair with both
hands, his eyes started from their sockets,
and Philistine that he really was he hastily
mounted his wheel and rode by on the
