George Fred Williams has apparently
reached the goal of his ambition. He has
secured the Popocratic nomination for
Governor of Massachusetts,. In accom-
plishing this he insulted the Democratic
State committee, seized and held posses
sion of Music Hall Friday night, causing
much unseemiy and uncalled for disturb
ance, to say nothing of the death of
delegate who came in contact with a live
wire. Williams was simply frightened at
his own shadow. Republicans and sound
money Democrats alike were anxious that
he should be nominated. They want to
have him properly punished at the polls
for his insolence; and if anything can
make an impress upon his egotism it will
be the vote of Massachusetts, on Nov. Sd.
The gold standard Democrats of Massa-
chusetts have put a full State ticket in
the field, headed by F. O. Prince of Bos-
ton for Governor, and we venture the pre-
diction that Williams will be found at the
foot of the poll when the votes are count
ed

The Maine Legislature at it's last ses-

The Maine Legislature at it's last ses-
sion created a new Office, that of Public
Printer; but it is not a salaried position,
and as the prices to be paid for stock,
etc., for the State printing are estab-
lished by law, and cannot be changed
except by further legislation, the change
involves no additional expense. For
years the State printing has been done
at the Kennebec Journal Office, which
has been equipped with a large and
costly plant and force of skilled
workmen, and we believe it to be
for the best interests of the State til at the
work should be done there in the future,
as promptness and efficiency are thus en-
sured. The Legislature will elect the
State Printer at the joint session when
other State officials are elected, and Mr..
Clarence B. Burleigh, one Of the proprie
tors of the Kennebec Journal, is candi-
date for the position. OF his fitness for
the position there can be no question, and
we have no doubt that he will be unani-
mously elected.

The High School Benefit a Success.

The supper and entertainment by the
High School last Thursday evening, to raise
money to buy piano for the school, was a
success financially and socially. The regu-
lar committee and all the subcommittee had
the work at heart and performed it in a
manner which would have done credit to
the more experienced. The supper tables
presented a very attractive appearance

banquet lamps, flowers; and the walters
We're most attentive and willing. The young
misses i'll their light dresses and the young

A recent review Of the campaign by
John Russell Young, published in the
New York Sunday Herald, suggests the
inquiry whether there is to- day in this
country another journalist who can fill
page IN newspaper with single article
and be sure of his readers. We doubt if
there is one. MI. Young seems to be the
sole reminder of the brilliant writer's of
the past who could and did perform this
feat. Among them We're George Wilkes,
William Henry Hurlbert, Henry j. Ray
mond, Charles G. Halpine and George II.
Butler, nephew Of Gen. Butler. Later
generations of journalists have had differ
ent training-frst, in the direction of
crisp condensation; and now, in these
later and degenerate days of 40 or 80 pad
ded pages daily, the irresistible tendency
is to f1atulence. But Mr.. Young, despite
his many columns, is neither wordy nor
wearisome. His utterances are clean cut
and vigorous, and his literary style equal
to that of the best essayists. He is a
graduate of the New York Tribune in the
days of Horace Greeley. He accompanied
Gen. Grant on his tour around the world,
has been minister to China, and is an
active factor in journalism and in politics.
We quote a few paragraphs from his let
ter to the Herald
History seems to repeat itself. Maine
turned the tide in 1910 in favor Of Harri-
son. She seems to have swollen the tide
in 1896 toward Mckinley. In 1910 it was
the rising stream. In 1896 it is Niagara.
Van Buren, gave us a panic, and at the
same time bequeathed us war, which,
under Polk, became the wanton invasion
of Mexico. Buchanan developed a panic
and also gave us war.
Mr.. Cleveland is too good a Democrat to
break the Democratic record. He gave us
the panic of 1898, and we owe to the fore
bearance of Great Britain that the Incl
dent of Venezuela did not evolve into a
war.
This tendency of Democratic govern
ment to blossom into panics and flower
into war makes the election of Mckinley
the most solemn duty that has devolved
of Lincoln.
Then the issue was the life of the Union
now it is the honor of the Union.
Should we fail now it would be the vic
tory of dishonor over the ballot, as in 1861
it would have been the victory of treason
over the ballot.

The assurance that we are soon to have
new shoe factory in operation in Belfast
is occasion for rejoicing. The matter has
been handled from the first in a prudent.
business-like way that promises to bear
substantial fruit in the near future. The
principal movers and those who furnish
the greater part Of the needed capital are
the men it was proposed to Danish to
desert island, and who have been abused
and prosecuted because they sank $40, 900
Of their own money in hotel which was
both an ornament to our city and direct
source of revenue which benefited the
community generally. Without the aid
of these men we should not have this
promised addition to our local industries,
and they have been handicapped to some
extent no doubt by the windy schemes
previously put forth to serve personal
ends and delude voters. But happily the
day has gone by when bunco games can
succeed in this community; and Belfast
will surely regain the ground lost in the
past two years, and once more on the road
to prosperity will hold up her head among
her sister cities.

MI. Arthur Sewan of Bath is cutting
very sorry figure before the country, and
we are sorry for it. His Democracy has
been questioned in former years but on
grounds rather to his credit than other
wise and the only wonder is that he
should have remained in party to most
of whose principles he was opposed His
final landing in the Populist camp is most
surprising. In lis speech on Boston com
mon last week he fairly eclipsed Watson
even i'll lis attempt to array class against
class. Naturally his advocacy of free sill
Yer, while inserting gold clause in his
freight contracts, has attracted much at
tention, as also his connection with the
American Merchant Marine Association.
OF the latter the Philadelphia Press says:
Nj. sewall, in resigning as president of
the American Merchant Marine Associa-
ton, has unnecessarily put himself in a
false position. He has been one of the
strongest opponents Of the Democrat free
ship policy, and time and again has been
sent to Washington to fight against it and
to advocate subsidies. Now he explains
to a reporter and has had it telegraphed
over the country that he ''has always
claimed that the Republican policy, which
in twenty years has brought our merchant
marine to the low condition where it has
been for several years, was wrong" Either
the reporter falsified in making that state
ment, OF Mr.. Sewall did. The Popocratic
candidate for Vice President has been to
Washington repeatedly to uphold the Re
publican policy on this question, and to
advocate Republican shipping measures
and to oppose Democratic free ship bills.
Mr.. Sewall should have a little self-respect

unprecedented majority by his own neigh
bors.
