Political Runora

The Democrats having turned Mr.
Harrity out of the National Com.
mittee because he was for sound
money, now think of abandoning
the free silver heresy in this State,
and making the campaign on local
issues.
Harrity and his friends, however.
can hardly forgive the manner in
which he was treated and are not
likely to give much aid or comfort
TO Mr.. Garman and his methods.
no matter on what issue they stake
their chances. There are also ru-
mors that he and Mr. Quay have
formed a coalition in furtheranoe of
their individual planes, but this
seems hardly probable, from the
fact that such a combination would
probably injure both. All that Mr..
Quay could hope to gain would be
two or three representative who
might in the case of necessity vote
him for Senator, while on the con
trary he might lose many Repub-
hcan votes If Democrats desire to
come over because of freaks in their
own party, we, of course, would re-
ceive them, but there would be lit
tie gain when their reason for so do.
ing was solely based on revenge.
Besides there are gong to be enough
Republican votes in the State this
year to elect the ticket by a large
majority.

due.

Boston, Nov. S.-Anxety is growing
relative to the present whereabouts of
the Inflated barkentine Herbert Fuller
which left New York with a general
cargo "A days ago bound to Pernambuco,
Brazil, where she was due To arrive some
weeks ago, but whose arrival has not yet
been cabied to local agents. 1t is quite
possible that the craft has failed to
reach heH destination on account of the
severe hurricanes which. swept the
southern coast and, if not lost, it is
thought she has been badly damaged.
1t was on this craft that Captain Nash
his wife and second mate were murdered
at sea. for the commission of which
crimes Mate Bran is now serving life
sentence. 1t is barely possibly that the
craft may have reached her destination
and that her skipper. a relative of the
murdered captain, may have thought it
would be suitable to inform his agents
of arrival by letter, which would be
brought by steamer to New York.
She is a vessel of 69I tons net register,
built at Harrington, Me, in 1890, and
owned by Swan & Sons of Machias, Me.
