A GREAT TICKET.
Reed and Mckinley Named
as Latest Combination.
Generally Conceded That Presidency
Will Go to the East.
And Beyond Doubt, Thomas 3. Reed Of
Maine. Is the Man.

Boston. March pa special to the
Journal from Washington, says:
For President. Thomas B. Reed of
Maine.
For Vice. President William McKin-
ley Of Ohio
This is a ticket that is being gener-
ally discussed as one of the probable.
results of the st. Louis convention.
1t is recognized now by shrewd OBJ
servers that the nomination for the
Presidency will go to the East and
that the successful candidate VII.
probably be Mr. Reed.
1t is now evident that Mr.. McKin-
ley will have to depend for his votes
on the block of states in the middle
Northwest. The efforts that his man.
ayers have been putting forth in the
South seem to have been fruitless in
many instances.
1t is certain that he will have hardly
any votes in Texas. Louisiana. Missis-
sippi, Alabama, Florida or South
Carolina. He will have the entire vote
of Arkansas. possibly a majority of
Georgia, while North Carolina and
Virginia will divide between him and
Reed.
The Indiana delegation will probably
not be for Mckinley. contrary to the
reports which We're sent out on the
day of the election of delegates The
Mckinley people endeavored to secure
instructions in every district They
succeeded in two out of Is.
In two other, resolutions endorsing
friends We're unable to obtain instruc-
tons. With the exception of the four
delegates from three districts, the In
diana delegation will probably be
found voting against Mckinley at st.
Louis.
1t is possible that the name of Har-
rison may be presented in spite of his
letter of withdrawal. and in that
event. he Will, of course, have the solid
Indiana vote.

BATES VS.. BOSTON UNIVERSITY.
Final Contest in The New England Inserco'-
Icgiate Debating League Series.

Lewiston, March %. - (SpcciaD.-
There has been considerable excite
ment in the Bates Debating League.
this week, over the preparation for the
next debate in the intercollegiate Sc
ries. According to the schedule this
should have been with Tufts on April
16 but. as has been reported. Tufts has
forfeited to Bates and Bates will meet
b. L. on April "a.
1t is rumored that the fact that
Tufts was represented at the Bates
Colby debate on Feb. u. by a brother
of Mr.. Stevens, the Tufts member of
the executive committee. has some
thing to do with the "inexpediency
which was discovered on the 29th,
The debate with B. u. will be in Bos-
ton, probably in Faneuil Hall. The
question is: Resolved, that immigra-
ton should be further restricted, :"
&. L. having the affirmative and Bates
the negative. Milliken 81 has with
drawn from the team on the account
of poor health. and Cults SO has been
appointed in his place, so that the
team which is to meet B. u. consists
of Howard 90. Durkee 81. and
Cults '97.
This is the final debate for the
championship of the New England In
tercollegiate Debating League. 1t is
expected that Harvard. as champion
of the Yale Harvard Princeton leagne,
would accept challenge from the
winner.
The championship trophy is to be a
silver laurel wreath. The name of
college winning the championship will
be engraved on list of this wreath,
and any college winning for three sue
cessive years would have the per
manent possession of the wreath.

WITH THE FARMERS
Rests Starting of the Winthrop
Condensed Milk Factory.
Meeting Held at Which Situation
Is Thoroughly Explained.
Canvass to Be Made 10 See What Milk Far
mers Will Furnish.

Winthrop, March Especially
advertised meeting Of citizens to see
about starting the condensed milk fac
tory was held, this afternoon, at the
Town han, there being q large attend
aimee of farmers and other citizens
The meeting was called to order by
Levi Jones.
Mr.. Racklif Of Newport. general
agent for the company. made u state
ment Of the situation ana urged the
farmers to again take hold Of the mat
ter and help start the factory. He
said that as he was not then connected
with the concern he did feel the re-
sponsibility for what mistakes had
been made, ana he believed that stch
things should be dropped and over
looked and the present attended to.
He said that to have started the fac
tory. TWO years ago. in the condition of
the market at that time would have
been suicide to its prospects. During
all that time the company has been
experimenting at its Newport factory
and is now able to produce a grade Of
condensed milk that is meeting with a
constantly increasing demand. so
much so that the plant at Newport is
unable to supply it. hence the neces-
sity and good prospect for starting the
factory at Winthrop.
He made a statement about the cost
etc. ana made an offer OF liz cents
per gallon for milk. Discussion fol-
lowed, and parties present thought

forthcoming. Finally Mr.. Racklff
agreed to pay Il cents per gallon for
extra milk. such as would test per
cent. or over.
.Messrs. l. c. Bailey and Levi Jones
We're delegated To appoint committee
of five to canvass Winthrop and the
neighboring towns to see how much
milk will be guaranteed by the
farmers. A report will be made in a
few days Three thousand quarts a
day III least is wanted. and it is hoped
that the supply can be worked up to
20 0o0 quarts.
Mr.. Rackliffe said that now was the
time to start the factory, if ever, for
otherwise the machinery would un-
doubtedly be moved He said that the
reported sale of So, 900 worth of stock
had been sold in New Hampshire was
not true.
Hon. /. C. Libby was also present
and urged the farmers to help out and
start the factory He said that some
criticised but that he had always stood
by the company and acted for its best
interests.
Eli Pepson. who operates the butter
factory, and who recently ordered ma
chinery that will either evaporate or
condense milk, says that it was or
dered before the talk started Of OPEN
ing the condensed milk factory and
that he had no intention of antagoniz-
ing its interests. He said that he
would pay as much as anyone for
milk
