UNDIVIDED SUPPORT
Will 30 Given Mr.. Powers by the Republicans
Of Maine.
Lewiston Journal.)

There has been considerable gossip
about this nomination and there were
some endeavors to prevent 1t; but a
sufficient answer to all that has been
said and done, is the fact that no cam
didate appeared against Mr.. Powers
at Bangor. and he received the honor,
most uncommon to an initial candidacy
in recent years. of nomination by
reclamation. The Republican party of
Maine Is united and happy and will
give it's candidate for Governor a cor
dial and answering support.
And, what is most essential In a
Presidential year, Mr.. Powers is a
d-in-the-wool Republican. squarely
in line with the platform of the Ma
tional Republican party. not tainted
with any of the heresies which the
Republican party is fighting. His
speech of acceptance rings with the
true Republican doctrine on the two
great issues dividing the country, the
tariff and the currency questions. 1t
is particularly gratifying that the
financial views of our gubernatorial
candidate should be so sound and so
explicitly expressed In year when
Maine Republicans claim the right of
national leadership.

Robbery at SWanton.

On last Friday night the store
belonging to Mr.. Chas. T. West at
Swanton, this county, was robbed
for the fourth time in less than a
a year. Upon this occasion the
thieves took about one hundred
dollars worth of shoes, etc. 1t Is
the general supposition that the
thieves were in the store in hiding
when Mr.. West locked up Friday
night, indications pointing to the
fact that they made their escape
from the building by breaking a
window from the inside. Mr.. West
figures his total loss by these four
robberies at fifteen hundred dollars.

There is certain young man in
this community that needs callin
down in the same manner that he
has been called down heretofore.
The people of this vicinity reioiced
a few years ago when they heard he
had secured aposition in an adioin-
ing state, thinking they would be
forever rid of him. But only about
two years had elapsed when we
was he was asked to resign his posi-
tion in favor of someone else, which
he did and came home. His mere
presence seemed to cast a gloom
over the entire community. We
notice since he came home the last
Ulme that he has been continually
misrepresenting some of our most
respected citizens through the col
umns of our local papers. In his
last communication to one of our
most excellent papers, he tells an
Infamous falsehood on an old gen.
tleman who resides in a quiet little
town about mile and a half from
this place, called Henry. Now the
question is, why did he tell such an
unreasonable falsehood on a good.
respectable old man who has never
harmed anyone. Well, this is a
question rather difficult to solve.
yet we might get at it in this man
ner. At one time this young man
was very much in love with this old
gentleman's stepdaughter, and as
this was his first experience in love
affairs and naturally little on the
soft order, he made his visits at
short intervals. This annoyed the
old gentleman so very much and
deprived HIM of the peaceful slum-
bers of night, that he concluded not
to tolerate 1t any longer, so one
night he got up from his bed and
started this young man home. He
failed to get the young lady, and
now it seems as if he IS trying to
put all the blame on this old gentle
man, and thinks he will get even
with him by falsely representing
him through the columns of our
papers. Now we would advise this
young lad to stop and consider be-
fore he gets into trouble. He must
remember that this old gentleman
who he is trying to lower in the
estimation Of the people, has wife,
children, relatives and friends who
will protect him in his old age. We
do hope this young man will see the
errors of his ways and try to make
a man of himself before it is forever
and eternally too late. But if the
shoe pinches his foot we expect him
to squeal again, but he must be
more careful and not squeal so loud
or we might remind him of great
many incidents of his past life that
he thinks we know nothing about.

dedryes much credit for his efforts
IN 4tting 1T before the Senate.
the House Speaker Mudd
plafd guards at the doors, and by
thalmeans kept a quorum at work
ug every House bill had been
ld7es upon and sent to the Senate.
At tN hour of 2 O'Clock a. M, the
me11e@1rs got i'll a funny mood;
LeT>alQf Caroline, was called to
the chAf; a new assessment bill
was inNtduced, and every member
requiredto make a speech. The
speech that elected the greatest
amount of applause was from Hon.
David Robertson, the father of the
Allegany delegation.
Great pressure is being brought
to bear upon Gov. Lowndes to in
duce him to veto the assessment
law. But the belief that he will
approve is still very strong.
The Democrats of the Senate sur
rendered last night and allowed the
new election law to pass. 1t is en-
tlrely partisan. There will be
two registers of voters in each
district, who will also be Judges of
the election. Two other judges of
election and two clerks of opposite
politics vii also be appointed.
There will be a new registration of
voters all orer the State next fall.
The election machinery provides
every possible safeguard against
fraud, requiring every voter who
can write to sign his name on the
books of registration. The object

districts at their discretion.
Thepassage of the election law,
and Joint resolution providing for
the submission of an amendment to
the constitution placing all the ap-
pointment machinery of the State
and municipal governments under
a civil service law, completed the
fulfllment of every pledge made by
the Republican party at Cambridge
last summer.
All the local bills for Garrett and
Allegany counties officially passed
to-day. Both counties have Ger
tainly had industrious delegations
in both Houses. They all attended
to the business entrusted to them
with rare fidelity, and they deserve
the confidence of their constituents.
