1t is generally presumed that the
Lewiston Water and Light Com
pany desires to sell the present
water plant to the city tor $50, 900.
1t is generally believed too that the
people will vote for the purchase
or construction Of a city water
system. If the form OF the
ordinance calling an election to
pass upon this question authorizes
only the purchase Of this plant the
desired sale would be practically
consumated. This action would
be hasty. 1t would not afford
opportunity to investigate the
value of the old plant.

General Wood heard of the Steun-

The Democratic Dilemma.

In framing the issues for the
next campaign the attitude OF the
democratic leaders toward the
silver question is very much like
that of the man who wanted the |
artist to "PIint me the picture but |
leave that out" Free silver is the |
ghost that haunts every democratic
banquet feast. II viii not down.
Charm IN Danforth of the New
York democratic state committee
tells the story in his recent inter
view after trip through the south
for the purpose Of tapping the
democrat sounding board. He
runs 1t up so:
In my "trip through the south
| observed one thing which will be
considered OF particular interest in
New York, namely, that none of
the leaders seemed disposed to in
sist OIL free silver as the mai issue
next year. They did not say they
had abandoned the 10 to idea,
but they acknowledged that the
situation had changed since 1896,
and that the dominant issues next
year were trusts and imperialism
That is to say, they were unwill
ing to repudiate the Chicago plat
form but they see that new issues
of far reaching Importance have
come up lately and that their
choice should be recognized
Even in states like North Caro-
lima | found Tat the anti,trust and
anti-imperialism ideas engaged the
attention of the people more than
the free silver issue. In fact
might run up my observations by
saying that the sentiment OF the
democracy in the south is sucf
that | am confident there will be
little trouble in bringing about {
, union OF the democracy of tht
whole country next year,
This would indicate that dem
ouacy was drifting away from thu
; free silver issue, and that an at
tempt would be mad TO keep it il
the hazy background next year
: But when charged directly will
