AT BRIDGTON.
Messrs. Atkinson and Emerson Address
Large Meeting.


? Bridgton, September 7.-Goy. Atkinson
of West Virginia and Walter @. Emerson,
Esq, of Portland, were the speakers at
the closing Republican meeting of the
campaign in Bridgton tonight.
Mr.. Emerson spoke first and in opening
devoted some time to the sheriff contest
1t is just as well, he said, to be perfectly
frank about this thing. 1t is unfortunate,
but nevertheless true, that the liquor
law has been for years football In
Maine politics, and those engaged in its
enforcement, or nonenforoement, are al
ways the objects of deep concern, both
to those who favor and oppose the law.
Once in two years we have this sheriff
fight in Cumberland. This year it is
especially vigorous, not because there
is any personal opposition to the present
incumbent, but because some one has
said that it is time to change the system.
Now either the Republican or Democratic
candidate viii be elected. 1t is difficult
to see how change OF men OF a change
of parties can change the system, except
to make it worse The Democratic party
has never been in the habit Of reforming
things and there is no reason why we
should look to 1t now II any voter
wishes the system changed he ought to
know perfectly we'll that he must appea ]
to another tribunal. There is a sort of
Richard Olney attitude to those who
are opposing the Republican candidate
for sheriff. For while that distinguished
gentleman enumerates nine reasons why
Mckinley should not be elected. he en-
tirely ignores the nine hundred reasons
why Bryan should not be elected.
Mr.. Emerson then went on to a dis.
cussiOn Of general topics and urged his
hearers to beware OF this general called
Apathy. For the first time in many
years Maine campaign lacked the
glamor OF such names as Blaine ana
Reed But the changes threatened by
the Democracy are greater than ever
bsfore. This mysterious necromancer
from out Of the West is the Issue. He
cannot manufacture another and
against his proposition to haul down
the nag OF prosperity and credit, and
honor, the Republican party stands as
an 1mmOvable bulWark,
GOV. Atkinson spoke for over an hour
on thesleading issues Of the cam paign
end was parti cularly impressive in con-
trasting the conditions under the Repub-
lean and Democratic administrations.

New Gloucester September 7.-Mr. ia
bez True of this town met with serious
accident. He was on his way to the
canning factory with a two horse load of
corn. lie was on the cross-road leading
from Meadow Brook to Intervale. He
got off from the load to arrange the
brake, and in getting into the team slip
ped and fell between the cart and the
horses. The cart passed over him with
its load of a ton of corn, passing over his
shoulder. No one was anywhere within
hail, and although blood was streaming
from his face, he succeeded in stopping his
horses, climbing on to the cart, and rode
quite a distance to his sons house. Very
few would have had the nerve to do this.
He rode back to his house toward even
ing. Mr.. True has met with several ac-
cidents, but this seems the most serious.
