Luther Mckinney is not running for
Congress this year and did not turn up
to help out. Mr.. Frank evidently realized
that he had long task ahead for he went
back to the year 1S0O and told of the
contest between the Federalists and the
Democrats and then he came gaily
cavorting through the century in the
heat of the July afternoon until he got
down to the present. Mr.. Frank devoted
his remarks OF oontemporaneous interest
mostly to the silver question, and one
was transported back to the days Of four
years ago as the well-known arguments
were again sounded. Mr.. Frank got
through with silver in time to repeat sew
eral parallels IN which the trusts were
represented by thieves and highway
men ana then he said he would like TO
talk about Imperialism which was the
great issue, but there wasn't time and he
would make way for the gentleman who
would speak next. Mr. Iripp then took
the doorstep and talked until the train
whistled At that time he was still tell
ing what he believed Most OF those
present seemed satisfied with their
knowledge of the political creed of Mr..

presiding officer and after Mr.. Haley had
presented the name of Gen. Lynch and
the nomination had been made by accla-
nation, Mr.. NC. MoCann headed a com
mittee to find the candidate. AS he was
sitting in the centre OF the hall the COM

Monday in Nov.
And Adopt Constitution For
Cuban People.

Washington, July sl-The War Depart
ment today promulgated the following
order liking the time of holding the
Cuban elections for the selection of dele
gates to the constitutional convention:
whereas, the Congress of the United
States by it's resolution OF Apgil 20, 1888,
declared:
''rhas the people OF the island of Cuba
are, and of right ought to be free and
independent.
's,rhat the United States hereby dis
claims any disposition or Intention to ex-
erclse sovereignty. jurisdiction or control
over. said island, except for the pacifiea-
tion thereof, and asserts its determinIa-
tion, when that is accomplished to leave
the government and control Of the island
to its people.
And whereas, the people Of Cuba
have established municipal govern
ments, deriving their authority from the
suHrages of the people given under just
and equal laws and ere now ready, II
ike manner to proceed to the establish /
ment OF a general government which
shall assume ard exercise sovereignty,
jurisdiction and control over the island,
Therefore, 1t IS ordered that gen
eral election be held IN the island Of Cuba
on the third Saturday OF September.
in the year 1900, to elect delegates to a
convention to meet in the city of Havana
at u 0 clock, noon, on the first Monday
of November in the year 1900, to frame
and adopt a constitution for the people
Of Cuba and as a part thereof, to provide
for an agreement with the government of

district since the days when the Hon
William II. Clifford, was at the head Of
the ticket The man who was sought by
the office was introduced into the pro
eeedings by Geo. f. Haley Of Biddeford,
who called upon the faithful to rally
around the standard bearer in order that
the Republican majority might be re-
duced Mr.. Haley did not hold out any
fond hopes or indulge in any roseate
dreams Of victory at the polls. The
Office reached the man about 81 minutes
after the day hunt was begun and then
shortly after the convention adjourned
and went down to the court house where
from the doorways speeches were made
by Honest Sam Lord, the Hon. NJ. p
Frank and l.. M. Trip. Esq the
box orator of the MeTriland For the
benefit of those who never heard Of that
interesting stream it may be said that
the Merriland flows through the historic
towns Of Wells, which is the home of Mr..
Iripp. 1t may be added that Mr.. Tripp
is an ardent supporter of the boy orator OF
the Platte This meeting at the court
house was described as mass meeting.
The propriety of using that name depends
on what is considered mass. This par
ticular mass included about hundred
men and half as many women This esti-
mate includes the members OF the North
Berwick band. When the little knot of
people gathered to form the mass, they
saw in the doorway of the court house a
strange looking conTlvance, AT dis
tance it resenbled coffin and one man
remarked that they would be buried in it
in the fall AS a matter OF fact this was
the speakers stand and had been covered
with nice black enamel cloth which gave
it the funereaI appearance. 1t was work
of art, but one of the managers started
story to the effect that the rostrum was
not sufficiently strong to sustain the
weight of the manly form of the Hon. M.
p. Frank, so 1T was pushed aside and
then the speeches were made. Mr.. Lord
came first, Mr.. Lord has written letter
OF acceptance, a letter of acceptance is a
mighty handy thing to have. Mr.. Lord
said he would refer his hearers to it for
most OF his speech, On one point hs
would touch, and then he pointed dramat-
lcalIy to the jail seen across the fields.
There are the usual number of poor fell
lows in there, said Mr. Lord. Most OF
them are there because they got drunk
and they got their liquor in the protected
rum shops. AS il overcome by the tribu-
Iations of the poor fellows over there, Mr.,
Lord brought his remarks to an abrupt
conclusion after speaking for two min
utes and AZ seconds.
The burden of the oratory came upon
the Hon. M p. Frank, for the Hon
