THE CAMPAIGN.
With Republicans It Will Be
a Vigorous One.
Prominent Speakers Will Stump
Every State in the un'on
Literature Will Not Figure So CoAspicuously
in Campaign as Heretofore.

Cleveland, July 26.-Major Mckinley
arrived from Canton. last evening. He
and Mark Hanna were in conference
most of the day and evening at Mr..
Hanna's suburban home in Lakeside.
The campaign had been outlined in a
general way only by Mr.. Hanna and
his committee. They do not know
what turn affairs may take in refer
cnce to another Democratic ticket. and
of necessity their actions are some
what limited in scope and significance
by the imperfectly developed situation
which confronts them. Under the cir
cumstances the most that can be done
is to have campaign literature of an
informing character quickly prepared
and widely circulated.
Senator Sherman is somewhat
alarmed at the manifestation of silver
sentiment in certain sections and COM
munities. He told Major Mckinley
that his voluminous correspondence
was laden with inquiries about the
money question, and he was of the
opinion that the most active measures
to come at the silver sentiment ought
to be taken at once. He urged Mr..
Hanna and Major Mckinley to have
the speaking campaign begin at once.
and said he was willing to take the
stump at a moments notice.
Other Republicans of prominence,
such as Senator Hawley and ex-Gov
Merriam Of Minnesota, have expressed
themselves in pretty much the same
manner to Major Mckinley and Mr.
Hanna. Major Mckinley and his
manager have reached the conclusion
that the best results this year will be
attained by holding an uncommonly
large number of political meetings. 1t
is believed that it will be difficult to
get the people to read the heavy Con-
gressional speeches on the money
question, or other long documents
There is abundant evidence of lively
demand for clear. crisp simple talks
on the money question and for short
articles and leaflets bearing upon it
This year. the committees of both
parties will undoubtedly spend their
money to keep hundreds of the speak
ers at work in the field instead of
sending out millions of dreary docu-
ments as frequently done Major Nc
kinley and Hanna are one on this
point. and the clerk in Chicago will be
given orders to commence this work
at once. Major Mckinley will be at
home again, this week. He expects to
begin work on his letter of acceptance
within 10 days and may have a draft
of it completed within a fortnight 1t
IS not his intention to make it public
for a month or so. He wants to see
what turn events will take and needs
something to determine the ultimate
cast which he shall give to the issues
Of the campaign.
The letter of acceptance will be a
sort of final, supplementary, up to
date platform and the great work of
the campaign will be done on lines
which ii indicates. Major Mckinley
will prepare this document with great
care ana it will be one of the most i'm
portant uttcrances of the campaign.

EXCITEMENT OVER STREET.
Skowhegan SeIectmen Finally Authorized to
Widen the Street.

Skowhegan, July 26-(SpeciaD.- town
meeting was held. Saturday afternoon in
relation to the location or a new street at
the south end of the South bridge. This
Is the fourth meeting at which tLc sub
lect has been brought up. and consider
able interest has been aroused esnaciaIl,.
since the accident to Mr.. Nevins' horse.
II Is undoubtedly the most DANCE rous
place in the village. owing to the mar
rOWness of the road for some distance
beyond the bridge and the cars of the s
d n. Electric Road, which are constantly
horses.
At the annual March meeting the mat
Ter was referred to the selectmen for
them to examine and report at a future
meeting. Another meeting was called
June 20. when the selectmen gave their
report, showing the plan of a survey of
the road. and estimating the expense of
widening the street. so TO make it safe
There was some question as to the cor
RICHNESS of the survey, as the west line
OF the street cut off several feet from the
buildings near the bridge. Many were
averse to paying out a large sum. and so
committee of i've was appointed TO in
Nestgate and report the true limits of
the highway and the land damage result
ing from widening the street, and also to
recommend what should be done.
The third meeting was held, July 6,
when the committee reported. confirming
the Selectmens survey and advising a
new line which would cut a few feet off
some of the buildings. but not so much as
the old line. The selectmen were finally
authorized to widen the street on the new
line. build sidewalk on the west side of
the bridge and hire $1,000 for the purpose.
The last meeting held. Saturday after
noon. was called on petition of several
citizens, and the town voted to accept the
new way as laid out by the. selectmen.

one and will be less dangerous.

it was rendered to me by the State
convention.
Ihere have been many expressions
on the part of the Democrats of Maine
in regard to my duty. but it has been
plain to me at all times that there
was but one thing for me to do, and
that was to stand firmly by the Maine
platform. Since the Democratic ma
tional convention, it has been thought
advisable to hold some meetings of
conference with the members of the
State committee and leading members
of the Democratic party, that fun and
free expressions might be obtained
and it was plainly shown that a wide
difference of opinion existed and many
of the Democrats of Maine thought it
