the ruling of the chair was right
or wrong, since it was not appeal
ed from it was binding, and when
Mr.. Trimble and his followers re-
fused TO be bound by it and or
ganized another Convention it was
bolt and its nominee became a
bolter. Mr.. Trimble Numbered
when he went out, and the Con-
vention had but one thing to do,
decide in favor Of one candidate
or the other before it. 1t did this
and Mr. Moody became the can
didate. Trimble is not the
Democratic nominee and is not
entitled TO any place whatever on
the ballot. His name may be

1t has been authoritively stated
that there had been a scheme on

Kinley, and but for the reason
that one accessor weakened and

The spotless, white-winged
John w. Yerkes, the liberty low
ing man who would endorse the
stealing of President, who thinks
that deed worthy to be honored
which relieved Southern people of
legal property even to Sherman's
destructive march to the sea.
Don't speak Of that now for it is
more than thirty years old. They
took by force legal property with
out dollar remuneration. They
stole a Presidency, no doubt
about either, and what they have
done they stand ready to repeat.
Think of the trusts Of today. Who
realized the remunerative price,
the man who by the sweat Of his
brow grew the cereals or the com
bines2 What party fosters trusts?
Who is it that is holding down the
price Of wheat until it can be got
ten from the hands Of the growers?
Democrats? nay, Republicans.
What they have done IN the past
they will repeat in the future

Constitution wrecking marks
the policy Of the Mckinley ad-

Republican Judge remarked the
other day: president Mckinley
in my opinion has gone so far in
violation Of the Constitution as to
warrant his impeachment" Why
replied the friend. to whom he
made the remark, you must be a
Democrat? "No," said the Judge,
"but l am a lawyer, " If the

With the Republicans every
man that don't see their way is
vile and mean. Irregular Demo
Gratis Of today were in their list of
mean, contemplate and dishonest
men yesterday. They will contin-
ue to love them only so long as
they can use them. A Democrat
may purger hlmseifin the interest
of Republicans and he is a good
fellow. but the moment he begins
to act according to principle and
vote according to judgment he is
denounced as a purgerer, a boiler
a mugwump, epitpets with which
to bemean his character are hard
to find. For instance the Courier
Journal was the reliable journal
with correct methods in 90, but
when it saw how it had erred and
returned to its first love it was
vili6ed and nothing was too mean
to say about that Journal and its
editor What they will say Of one
they will say OF all under similar
circumstances.

~ bald the load little lonvor ubor

little at the greenhorn because he had
not held the load little longer. When
mart way up the hill he SUDDENLY came
upon, a mans leg lying in the road be-
side the bloody warp. The sight was
too much even for the strong nerves
of lumberman. He could hear the
injured man up at the foot of the
stump calling weakly for help, but as
he himself said:
1.-The sight of that leg laying there in
the road took every bit OF my strength
an started the sweat so the water run
off from me in stream. 1 couldn't
have touched that man to save my life
I didn't dare go near him. / couldn't
do a thing for a minute an then / let
a yen out of me like wild Injun and
started back for the landin' for help.
There was some men chopin back
in the woods jest out Of hearin', but I
never thought Of them.
THE only place I thought of was the
landin'. pretty near a mile off. and l
run every step yelling as hard as /
could yell. The men came back with
me and l showed 'em where he lay but
l couldn't so near myself an l was so
"CoN L tVuiu hty hdu
to haul ME back to camp after they
tended to him."
The warp had kinked and the man in
the nervousness of his first experience
with the rope had lost his head and in
an instant his leg was caught and
chewed off by the rope around the
stump. The rope had dragged it part
way down the hill where the teamster
found it. The injured man was taken
back to camp and such suffering as he
experienced in the next As hours is only
known in war. The bleeding, mangled
stump was scared with a red hot iron
as quickly as possible to stop the bleed
ing as well as could be done, miles
from civilization.
A rough sled was rugged and the man
made as comfortable as they could
with blankets and boughs. The trip to
the nearest doctor was of necessity a
slow one. Whiskey which is always
nearer camp than doctor. was pro-
cured as quickly as man and a horse
could get it and was poured into the
man in quantities almost beyond belief.
After hours of suffering and toll a doc
tor was reached and the leg dressed
properly. The strong constitution Of
the man. however. broke under the aw-
full strain and he died under the opera
| ton.
| A hush fell upon the camp after the
narration of this story and the crew
| fell to musing of other scenes. The
bang of the cooks fist and his stem
| torian Turn in broke the spell and
| the men turned into their hunks with
the possibility of one of them being the
principal in scenes of equal suffering
and hardship, the next day.

INEWS OF THE RAILROADS.

The Boston & Maine are putting a
new iron turn table in at the Gorham
station in place of the old wooden
one and it is reported that new iron
| bridge will soon be placed over the
track on South street, the old wooden
one not being satisfactory to the com
pany.
Burton l.. Parkman. formerly Of
Woodfords. has been appointed as local
general agent of the combined Boston
& Maine and Fitchburg roads at
| keene, n II. Mr.. Parkman was for
twelve years station agent for the
Maine Central at Woodfords.
Why do not railways have more
train sheds to hold their passenger
cars during the hot months, so as to
prevent the tops of the cars from be-
coming heated, thus making them like
an oven when they begin their trip?
The New York Central keep many of
their parlor and sleeping cars thus
protected. but not their passenger cars
With the large field room around
Union station in this city one would
imagine the management would con-
struct some kind of protection as cars
exposed and frequently left out under
these conditions for hours at time
and when the early passenger arrives
they are apt to find a hot reception
| awaiting them. Still worse is the
sleeping car when a passenger has to
occupy top berth.-Portland Argus
The traffic officials of the Boston &
Maine are said to be negotiating to bring
| to Boston the winter grain and cattle
business. originating on the Canadian
Pacific. Last winter about $500 900
bushels of grain and several thousand
cattle were diverted from Boston to
st. John. This traffic would naturally
seek Boston were it not for the influ-
ence of the Canadian government
The Boston & Maine Messenger for
July is out and contains, among others
the following interesting items: The
task of oling the road-bed has been
going on for some time past. and enor-
nous quantities of crude oil have been
consumed in the work. The Western
division will be oiled from the Mystic
river to Rockingham Junction. and
