n Governor Hill is deeply interested in

recognition of Jan. % as Mckinley day,
as suggested by him in his recent let
ter to the people of Maine. He is much
pleased that the papers Of the State
have given such splendid publicity to
the suggestion which he has advanced,
because he believes that it will have
q great influence in inducing the peo-
pie to subscribe the amount which the
State of Maine is expected TO donate

counties have already raised the
amount allotted to them. but there are
others which have not yet completed
the work which has been assigned
them. The Governor hopes that by the
first of February the required amount
will be raised.
