The weather has not been favorab- e
to social entertainments during the
mast week. Very few affairs were
planned, but the daily rain storms III
ferfered with several large outings.
Another we'll patronized excursion de-

parties went to other points. Inc
number of Wheeling pleasure seekers
who left during the week was larger
than during any similar period since

The Fall Election.

Next Monday, Sept. u, the voters
of Maine will again be called upon to
elect State and county officers, and
members of new Legislature.
While the stirring events of the past
few months have thrown politics into
the shade, voters should not overlook
The fact that only by the right order
ing of affairs at home are the broader
but no more important ordering of
affairs 4 large best conserved
1t goes without saying that the re-
publicaus will be victorious in the
coming election, but there is danger
that off-year apathy may result in a
few more democrats slipping into the
legislature. or into county offices, than
may prove desirable.
t. tars of Hancock county we
specia... ..Fpeal that they do not let
this tbiE@ happen, either in the
county oaices, or in the legislative
list There is not an officer on the
county ticket, up for re election, who
las aot loved himself competent,

Col HaDin, for senator, is the only
new name on the county ticket, and
previous service at Augusta fully JUS
taes sending him to the upper house.
Ellsworth's candidate for the lower
house--ur. Drummey-is too well
known 10 make extended notice as to
his competency necessary. In minor
capacities he has served the public
and the party with conspicuous ability;
his elevation to the House will be a
deserved recognition of his services.
In their respective classes the other
republican candidates for the legisla-
tlre from this county are known to be
able men, fully capable of faithfully
serving Jheir constituents.
Apart from personal fitness of the
candidates, there is no reason why
every republican should not do his
full dU,g at the polls this year. The
administration of State affairs has
been alie and clean. The finances
have beeu carefully guarded, and the
best interests of the State suhseryed.

Correspondence.
The Speakership.
NORTH PENoBsCoT, SEPT. 3, 1898.

NORTH fENOBSIol, Stfi' o. io'S'
To the Editor of The american:
The speakership of the next house of
Maine representatives seems to be attract
ing considerable attention in political
circles. As a member of the last legis-
lature, and personally acquainted with
all the candidates, and they are all good
fellows, | wish to speak of one candidate
whose special fitness has impressed itself
upon me Hon. Warren c. Philbrook,
whose sterling worth as man and emil
nent ability as a lawyer and judge, have
given him a State reputation, stands out
conspicuously in the list of aspirants.
He is a most genial and approachable
man, and popular with all classes. Modest
in the presentation of his claims, as sensi-
tive and sensible men of worth generally
are, his canvass will lack that bold ag-
gressiveness which often strains the
political forces to their highest tension,
and sometimes produces dissensions, the
influence of which is felt for years; but as
his splendid qualities and peculiar fitness
become known, he will grow in popular
strength, and be the candidate around
whom all factions will naturally harmon
ize. He has strong character, and is
well poised mentally and morally; he has
a most pleasing and popular address,
quiet dignity, a judicial turn Of mind; he
is easy, graceful and eloquent in speech,
straightforward ana logical in matter,
eminently just, fair and impartial, with
voice of splendid quality and great COM
pass. He cannot fail to make popular
and successful presiding Officer, and fit
successor to such men as LARA bee, Pow
ers, Dingley and Blaine.
As temporary speaker in the last House,
his superior fitness shone out brilliantly.
In the important debates he took a leading
part, and his speeches were clear and log
zeal, and delivered evidently from an hon
est purpose to serve the State, and not
simply for display of personal talent, as
is too often the case with lawyers who
talk to make out case, rather than to es
tahlish the truth.
II elected believe he will not be pledged
to parties who Will seek important places
on committees, with a view to better shape
and influence legislation in behalf Of
petty schemes, which are not in harmony
with an economic public policy.
The more one becomes familiar with the
ways of legislation. the more important
becomes the fact that the men who pre-
sgde over our legislative bodies should be
unpledged and untrammelled in their APP
pointments, devoted only and pledged by
every fibre OF their nature to the highest
interests Of the State
Such man believe is Hon. Warren G.
Philbrook. Who is broad enough to see all
under all circumstances.

Rochester's Old Glory Fair.

A very elaborate exhibition may be ex-
pected as the result Of the labors OF the
Rochester, n. H., fair managers this year,
for they have followed the same lines
adopted many years ago in the handling
Of an affair OF its size, and they have not
been unmindful OF the fact that times
have changed and advanced.
One now days is not satisfied to see
the exhibits of Gait lie and horses and pro-
ducts OF only few farms, but instead
every section must be represented in
every line, and then the implements,
tools and machinery which brought
about the wonderful results must also be
shown. That is just what you get at the
Rochester fair. Everything is so COM
plete that one is instructed and interested
in many ways by visiting it.
Cold Spring park, where the fair is
held, is one of the most complete ex-
every convenience for arranging and en-
joying the exhibition is provided.
The cattle-shed is an extensive build
ing, and many hundred head of cattle
will be on show. The stables and poul-
try-sheds will contain a display seldom,
If ever, equalled, while the great halls
for displaying the farm Implements and
products, it is needless to say, will be
oyerfiowing so great is the array that is
expected.
The space allotted for the presentment
Of household and art handiwork is of suf-
ticient size TO permit of an elaborate dis
play, and from the returns at this time, it
is safe to predict that it will be we'll worth
seeing.
For methods for entertaining its pa
irons, the Rochester fair people are never
at loss to know what to do and the ar
engagements have been completed for
very interesting series of events.
Horse-racing will of course be one OF
the favorite attractions, and such liber-
atty has been shown in the purse offer
ings that very many of the fastest horses
have been introduced. The best stables
in this section will be represented and if
some good racing does not come off it
will be because sonnet hing unforeseen has
happened.
continuous stage show is one OF the
great features OF the Rochester fair, and
in the programme the following stage
wonders are included the diving elk, the
Rossow midgets, the bouffon trio, the
Dammann troupe and the renowned
George Melville.
This great exhibition will be held
Sept. 13 to is inclusive, and the Boston &
Maine railroad will sell reduced rate
tickets to Rochester on those dates that
will include an admission TO the grounds,
and special trains viii be run from many
points.

A successor to Senator Hale is to be
elected by the next legislature, and
while there is no question but that our
distinguished fellow townsman will
succeed himself, it would no doubt be
a satisfaction to him, and an honor to
Hancock county, that the vote of the
county delegation be an unbroken
one.
Let every republican do his duty at
