IT'S EASY.

IF you are reader of THE ENQUIRER,
i and not a subscriber, it is probably,
and in fact likely, due to the fact that
you don't think yourself financially
able to subscribe for THE ENQUIRER,
and so you borrow from your neighbor,
although your conscience tells you not
to do ii; but the conscience has no effect
when it is THE ENQUIRER that you
want. The easiest way to get it, is to
give the first club maker you meet Sl.75
and tell him to send you THE ENQUIRER
for year. Another easy way is
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1896-01-08
TO GET UP A CLUB

Of TEN subscribers and get THE EN-
QUIRER free. You can probably induce
your neighbor who is not a subscriber to
subscribe in five minutes time. If he is
subscriber, ask him to renew his sub
scription on your club. He will do it.
Try the first 10 men you meet. Five
minutes to each one-5O minutes-a
years subscription for club Of 10.
Can you make Sl.75 in so minutes in any
other way?
Don't read a borrowed paper-your
neighbor pays for it-but get up a club

The Last Stroke" Company Affair.

The statement published in the Argus
Monday morning in regard to the "The
Last Stroke Company" was erroneous in
several particulars. Mr.. James L. Dyer
was not in the box Office selling tickets,
he having given up that position when he
became assistant city treasurer. The $40
taken from the box of; CO by Mr.. Orlando
e. Dyer, was used to pay the hall rent
so that the show might go on. His rela.
tives say that he went off simply because
he was discouraged, and will be back
again in day or two.

GETTING THE RETURNS.
How PRESS Correspondents and
Messengers Did 1t.
SPECIAL TRAINS DISTRIBUTE THE
PAPERS THIS MORNING.

A Steam Tug Chartered for Island Re-
turns-some Messengers Rode Forty
Miles-very Complete Returns.
The eleotio n returns which the PRESS
presents to its readers this morning are
both very satisfactory and very complete.
The satisfactory nature of them ia due
to the issue and the Grand Old Party;
their completeness is the result of the
syste matic and careful plans Of the
PRESS for their collection and tabula-
tion. For several years the PRESS has
attended more carefully than any Of its
contemporaries to the local returns and
Is the recognized authority on the morn-
ing after election.
There are in Cumberland county 50
voting places, some of them worry remote.
Some of the agents Of the PRESS have
to ride 40 miles to get the returns OF
their voting places to the office; and
one has to 60 on specially chartered
tug boat to get island returns. All this
vote is counted, down to the last candi-
date. The faithful cooperation of many
correspondents, messengers and telegraph
operators is needed for the faithful re-
turn Of the votes to the office, and then
comes the tabulation and additions, and
finally the setting Of the type into tables
which present to PRESS readers the re-
suit in compact form. The distribution
of papers is made this morning with the
view Of satisfying the interest of PRESS
readers as soon as possible. Special trains
on the Maine Central and Grand Trunk
take the papers to readers in the eastern
and northern counties, while in the
suburban regions special messengers in
teams scatter the papers in all directions.
One of the novel features Of the
distribution Of papers this morning is
the hiring of special car on the Port
land railroad for the carrying Of papers
to suburban readers and to the teams
which carry the papers to the co untry
beyond.

Free silver and free trade received a
knockout blow in Westbrook at yester-
days election. 1t was the greatest stay
at home and turn Iabout in the Demo-
cratic ranks that was ever known in that
city. The Republicans made great gains
over the phenomenal majorities of 1894.
The Popocrats apprehended the ava
lanche and we're discouraged at the start.
After conducting a vigorous campaign
they gave up the fight ut the opening Of
the battle ut the polls. At the beginning
of the campaign the city was deemed
such good fighting ground by the Popo-
cratic managers that Candidate Frank
selected Westbrook as the place Of the
opening of the oampa ign. But the indi-
cations that they had mistaken the
minds of the Westbrook voters were SO
apparent before it was decided at the
polls that they were totally routed and
did not make any semblance of fight.
Some Of the wards were entirely deserted
by the managers, Ward being the only
ward where they made any attempt at
polling their vote. In this ward things
seemed to be a little mixed, many of the
Democrats doing the remarkable thing
of voting the Prohibition ticket. Ward
where there is large foreign vote
and where the Democrats formerly used
to secure plurality of from rs to 10C
votes went Republican at this election by
80 votes. In this city as whole Powers
received plurality over Frank of 1856,
going over Cleaves' phenomenal plurality
of two years ago by 16.
Reed received plura lily over Staples
of 1872, a gain over '94 of 50 votes. When
| this splendid victory was announced for
the great Maine statesman his friends
here were wild with joy. 1t was full zoe
over the estimate Of the most sanguine.
In the vote for sheriff Plummer'f
plurality over Morrill, was 1868 gain
over two years ago OF 1862. The Prohibition
vote for sheriff showed falling off of
| lis votes. Pearson received 215 votes In
| '94, Parker receiving but 100 votes this
year.
1t might as we'll be moved that T. s.
| Burns's election as candidate for repre-.
sentative to the legislature be made
unanimous. His plurality over G. W.
Mace is 723. Burns's vote being 742
against 10 for Mace. This is due in part
to the fact that Mr.. Mace's name did moi
appear on the ballot, but 1t was thought
that more than 10 of his party would go
to the pains of using stickers. In Wards
8, 4. and 5 he polled but one vote II
each.
The Republican gain over 1892 for gov
ernor is 39a, johnson receiving a plural
| ity at that time of 6 over Cleaves
Reeds gain over the 1899 election il
4S3. The Republicans polled their full
vote and had 1t not been for the fact tha
quite number of their voters have beer
forced to seek residences somewhere else
on account of the mills being closed
down here their majorities would be still
larger. One of the Popoorat leaders
when he learned the result was omplete
ly disheartened. When some of his sym
pathizing friends extended a crumb O.
comfort by telling him that he had bet
ter join the gold Democrats and thu
have a united party, he emphatically
stated that rather than do that he woult
join the Republicans.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
The Girl l Left Behind Me.

1.-THE Girl Left Behind Me" comes
heralded as one of Frohman's greatest
successes, and those who have mad tne
good fortune to see this play can easily
tell why this drama has created such
favorable impression on the theatre going
public. It is military drama Of pecul-
lar interest. literally interspersed with
effective climaxes, and presents excellent
onnortupities for capable actors to dis
play their capabilities. Then, again, it
is constructed on original lines, and is in
tbe nature of q novelty, inasmuch as it
differs greatly from the conventional.
thread bare love drama of today The
scenes are laid in the far West during an
Indian uprising in 1890, the chief charac-
tiers being general. major, the general s
daughter, lieutenant's sister and two
liuetenants one the soul of honor, the
other furnishing the villain role. The
story briefly told is as follows. Kate,
the daughter of general, has captured
the hearts of the two handsome lienten-
ants, Hawksworth and Palrow. For some
reason Hawkswoith is rejected and she
becomes affianeed to the villainous
Parlow. who after developments show to
be the defamer of the post MAJORS dead
wife, and a coward afraid to face powder
and ball. In the end HawkswoIth tri-
umphs and Palrow is exposed and all ends
we'll. The second act is very strong, and
the interest really begins at this point.
A post ball is in progress and all is
merry. Suddenly over ticker comes
news of an uprising of the Blackfoot In
dams. Scouts, oouriers and dstach-
ment of soldiers are dispatched to the
scene. The curtain falls while godspesd
are wished the brave men Of the post.
The third act is said to be most effeo-
tive. The finale of this act is one Of the
strongest ever seen on the stage. The
enthusiasm evipoed is always N ost graft
flying to che players who participate. In
this act the threatened attack on the post
is about to be made. Gen. Kennion has
promised to kill his daughter rather than
have her fall into the hands of the foe.
The attack is made, but reinforcements
save the day and all is well. The last
act rights all wrongs. Parlow's COW.
ardioe is made Eapparent and general
embracing of lovers ensues. This play
will be produced at Portland theatre
Wednesday evening.
