CHAIRMAN MANLEY SPEAKS.
The Campaign in M aine to be Fought
Most Vigorously.
ESPECIAL TO THE PREss.l

Augusta, July 22-Hon. j. H. Manlsy
said to PRESS reporter today:
"The campaign in Maine will be fought
more vigorously than any campaign that
has occurred in the state since 1889. The
average Republican majority given in
Maine lnTthe Presidential years since 1860
has been about 12,000 We gave aD abnor-
mallmaJority two yearslago, because only
90 per cent of the Democratic vote was
polled and the full. Republican vote was
not cast.
Maine was swept by the Greenbaok
heresies in ~. '7s, '79 and 80, and all
the old advocates of this doctrine are
again coming to the front. There can be
no question as to the result in this state
The only question Is, how much MAORI
ty can the Republicans obtain? We pro-
pose to conduct the canvass upon that
theory, and that we shall need every vote
in the state. We propose TO make this q
campaign Of education, and to reach
every voter and see to it that he is tho
roughly instructed in the pending issues
1t is not purely partisan campaign. 1t
is not question whether the Democratic
OF Republican party shall succeed, but
1t is question whether national honor,
the national faith shall be maintained.
or reputation shall be encouraged and
endorsed.
1.-The Chicago convention has banded
together every vicious element in the
country, and it must be met by the union
of all menswho desire the honor and cred
it Of their country maintained, who are
aotuated by high and patriotic motives,
regardless of past political differences.
"The contest Is to be hard one. 1t
must be fought at every. point. AS to the
result in Maine and throughout The
country there can be no doubt The
rightiwiH triumph, and the patriotic and
honest people of7shis koountry will see to
it that Mckinley and Hobart, standing
as they do, upon platform which recog-
nizes that the gold standard is the only
standard that will maintaingour credit
and honor, and representing as they do,
every patriotic impulse of the people, will
surely be elected.

RED CHECKED AND MoTHERLY.
But Lillian Wilson Seems to Have Been .
Star Confidence Wo man.

Lewiston. July 22.-The woman who
worked the Bath shop keepers with bogus
checks on the Auburn national bank,
was in this city several days. She gave
her name as Lillian Shelwas 8
red checked, motherly- looking woman of
40 or thereabouts and was we'll dressed
and quiet in her manners
She registered at the Exchange hotel
Wednesday and went off without settling
but was stopped at the lower Maine Cen
tral depot by the clerk while she was
buying ticket for Gardiner. She got
the bogus checks of Clerk j. B. Hunton
Of the Auburn water board. She present.
ed herself at the wicket of the water
board office. 'Mr. Hunton," said she.
IT want a couple of blank checks on the
First National Bank of Auburn. It is
after banking hours and want to use
them. Can youfaocommoolate me?n
Mr.. Hunton locked into the face and
he thought that it was some one he
knew although he. .oouldn't recall the
name.
"Yes' replied Mr.. Hunton, az believe
I've got an old book around here with
some blank cheoss in it. Wait moment
and will see if l can find it, -
Mr.. Hunton did not find it where he
expected and the woman became i'm
patient. "Oh, we'll" said she. ''never
mind. wouldn't look any longer. I
can step into the hotel and get them."
just then Mr. Hunton found the book
and tearing out two blank checks, handed
them to the woman who thanked him
and went out. A car happened along as
she crossed the sidewalk and she boarded
it, riding off toward Lewiston.

ESPECIAL TO THE pREss.1

Rookland, July 22.-AnE accident which
may terminate fatally to at least one
member of the party, befell four aged
gentlemen who had been berry picking
in the country today. The party con-
sisted of Benjamin Eastman, aged about
73, John Stevens, aged about rs. and two
gentlemen by the name. of Grant and
Simonton, each of whom is OVER sc.
They were returning through Rock
vile in team and were going down a
steep hill when part Of the gearing
broke. The horse became frightened and
the driver speedily lost all control of
him. Messrs. Berry and Simonton
jumped from the team which was moy-
ing very rapidly, but the two elderly
men were thrown out with great force.
Mr. Eastman had his hip and collar
bone broken, besides which, internal
injuries have probably been sustained,
SO that the doctors who have been in at
tendance this afternoon entertained but
slight hopes that he will recover. Mr..
Stevens was badly injured about. the head
and was picked up in an unconscious
condition. His chances too are regarded
as somewhat preoerious. The team be-
came total wreck.
The Portland daily press., 1896-07-23

Wallac when he told his story and found
1t recently discharged and two empty
shells in it, just the number he said he
fired.
1t seems to be q very singular oaso
The motive could not have been robbery,
for the experience Of the highwaymen
the night before when they
WENT THROUGH WALLACE,
as he says, and got only small piece of
tobacco would hardly tempt them TO re-
peat SO dangerous an operation.
1t was su uggested by some of the West
brook people that Wallace shot himself
to gain notoriety but unless, Wallace
possessed extraordinary nerve to stoop
over and take exceedingly fine aim he
could not have produced the wound
which was made. Mr.. Grant sooffs at
the idea of Wallace shooting himself and
him when he did and seen the character
of the wound and his fright and pain,
they never would have imagined it.
1t seems as if some persons from a
desire to worry and make Wallace's life
miserable, had pursued him for some
time with acts of more or less severity
II this is so they have gone farther than
will be healthy for them this time
1t may be that intending to scare him,
the pistol was discharged and careless
aim produced, bodily injuring when the
assailanta intended no real harm. Then
seeing the damage they had done they
naturally fed. On the whole this seems
to be the most plausible idea of the case.
The officials will spare no pains to get
to the bottom of the affair.

was the burden of the remarks made at

them to the voters. With the state oon
mittee met Senators Hale, and Frye.
Representatives Dingley. BouteIle, AMI

were also in attendance prominent Re-

! The meeting was called to order by
Chairman Manley, who briefly explained
the plans of the committee. Then Mr..
Manley called upon Senators Hale and
Frye, Representatives Dingley, Boutelle
and Milliken and Mr.. Powers, each of
whom spoke briefly, the remarks and dis
cussion being largely informal. Messrs.
Hale and Frye spoke of the desirability
of presenting TO the people arguments
showing the fallaoy of the free coinage
theory, and this was corroborated by
the others speakers. Messrs. Boutelle
and Milliken urged that in addition the
tariff issue should not be lost to sight,
MIR. Boutelle being especially emphatic
in his advocacy Of vigorous prssenta-
tion of the contrast presented by the
country's prosperity under the last Re-
publican administration and the distress
under the free trade regime of the pres
ent administration. Senator Frye char
aoterized the coinage issue of this cam
paign as the most serious of any since the
days of the Rebellion. Mr.. Powers ex-
pressed himself as heartily in favor of an
early opening of the campaign and its
vigorous prosecuti on.
The meeting kwas marked with feel
ing of confidence in an oldtime Republi-
can majority. The testimony of those
with whom the committee conferred was
that the free coinage heresy had not yet
gained position of strength in Maine
and that with full presen tation of the
subject such as the com mittes proposes
that the people shall have. it will not,
leaving the way clear to an olG-fashioned
victory in September.
