IN YORK COUNTY.
There Is Interest There Also In the sher-
in Question
ESPECIAL TO THE rREss.J


Kennebunk, Sept. 6-Not only in Cum
berland County is there considerable in
terest and agitation for more rigid and
persistent enforcement of the liquor law,
but there Is considerable stir in this
vicinity and stiff fight is in progress
for the election of Horace M. York, the
Democratic nominee for High Sheriff OF
York County. MI. York is the head of a
Christian mission in Kennebunk and
occupies a similar position to that of Mr..
Pearson in Portland. Like Mr.. Pearson,
Mr. York has made some very pronounced
statements as to his Intentions II elected +,
of giving York County thorough and
radical enforcement of law, irrespective
OF the party affiliations of the persons
who break the law. 1t Is interesting to
note that Kennebunk and Kennebunk-
port considerable numbers OF both Repub-
lican and Democrats have signitied their
Intention of cutting their party ticket in
order to test the integrity OF Mr.. York
and to have their wishes carried out.
On the other hand Mr.. Newell Fogg
of Sanford, the Republican nominee for
sheriff, young man of clean business
principles, processes to STAND for clean
politics. In a letter from him he says: ]
made a resolve that would be sheriff
without any mortgage, or not at all. No
man can say that / have made pledges to
one side or the other. My fight for the
nomination was in the interest of clean
politics. believe in the enforcement of
011r laws and if aIecfad as / exDect to he
shall endeavor to give the people more
rigid enforcement. do not owe my
nomination to the rum element and l
have never asked their support
The situation is interesting. There can
be hardly any doubt as to the result of
the fight. Sanford, the native town of
Mr.. Fogg, has year by year made large
increasing gains for the Republican party
and will naturally support their towns
man.
The tendency, however. to unite and
mobilize forces from each of thu three
parties, in order to force an issue in local
politics is ominous and there are many
who believe that such cause would
mean the certain attainment of whole
some respect for law, cleaner politics and
settlement of the vexing question of en-
forcement of law. Those placed in office
by the next election would do well to
note this fact and to act in accordance
with this unusual trend.

HARBOR NOTES.
Items of Interest Picked Up Along the
Water Front.

The hot weather OF yesterday drove a
large number of people to the islands
and to other parts of the bay. The re-
suit was that all of the different steam
boat lines did a rushing business and
carried nearly as many passengers as at
any time during the summer.
On Saturday eight or ten yachts of the
Portland yacht club will enjoy their last
cruise Of tho season. They plan to go
down the bay inside of Harpswell. A
fine time is being counted on.
The schooner Roy Roy arrived with
coal yesterday and the schooner Margare t
Mather brought in fish.
The schooner Matte j. Allies and j.
Niokerson left for trip.
The schooner Hattie M. Graham arrived
In port yesterday with the largest fare
OF mackerel that has been brought to
Portland in a dozen years. She had 6O)
barrels and 400 were sailed, The Graham
had been out stor fortnight and had
been fishing all along the coast. The
last haul of fresh mackerel was made off
Mount Desert The fishermen are now
meeting with good luck in securing
mackerel. The seiners have made more
money this year than for several years
past.
The freight rates on all kinds of soft
coal have advanced from 30 to 40 cents a
ton. Dealers are finding it difficult to
obtain half vessels enough to take car
OF the charters. The South African war
and the starting up of manufactures are
attributed as causes of the advance. &

whole is an extraordinary performance
when it is considered that he has had

steady play defeated W. G. Eaton, who
was playing good game.

son defeated Hoyt principally by very
brilliant putting Yesterday his long
game was notioeably good and he was
