A Democratic Rally.

Col. Robert j. HARE of New YORK ad-
dressed fair sized audience In Coburn
hall, last evening. He gave his time up
largely to an attempt TO oeiittie
President Mckinley and dscredit his ad-
ministraton. One who has but casually
read d mocratic papers OF late found
nothing new In wav of argument or as
sertion In this speech, but he did have
rather more to say in favor of free silver
than these papers usually disclose at
this stage OF the present campaign. He
extolled Lincoln, the worst abused man
of the century by Democrats when he
was President, and, claiming that
Thomas B. Reed is now out with Repub-
liean leaders and the administration,
there was nothing he could say TOO good
about him, the worst hated man above
ground four years ago by the speakers
own party. After Col. Hare had con-
cluded his speech Mr.. VIM. II. Baker OF
Boston, a native of Somerset county,
who happened to be in town. was intro
duced by the chairman and spoke about
20 minutes. The genial DR.. 5. +. Conant
presided at the meeting.

Society has completed its schedule Of
premiums, they are In the hands of the

also be published 10 the REPORTER ext
week. Il Is full schedule and opper-
tunity will be offered for competitive ex-
hibition Of large number of articles and

The people of Skowhegan and sur
