MAINE GOES REPUBLICAN.
An Immense Majority Rolled UP IN
Pine Tree State.

Portland. Me. Sept. 9-In the
state election in Maine yesterday the
republicans won out by handsome
plurality of something over 10000.
This is an off year election and while
the republican vote shows loss of
only about one per cent, the demo-
cratic loss is about II per cent.
The result in Maine is looked upon
as an index to the general result
throughout the several states this fall.

DEMOCRATS
IN CONVENTION
c. S. Thomas was Made
Temporary Chairman.
There is Much of Caucusing but
Strength of no Candidate Shown
--Ormanites Losing Hope
Looks Like Stimson.

Denver. Setp 9-The hosts OF
democracy are gathered at Coliseum
hall in this city today, and even at
this time. (2:30) it is impossible to
forecast the result of the convention.
AT IL O'Clock the convention with
nearly every delegation filed, was
called to order by State Chairman
Milton Smith. Previous to the time
of meeting there had been no apparent
caucusing in regard to the chairman
of the convention, but when the name
of G. S. Thomas was presented for
temporary chairman he was made the
unanimous choice of the delegates
Governor Thomas was loudly
cheered as he took the chair, and he
responded with brief address ex-
pressing his appreciation of the honor
conferred. The chairman then select
ed delegates to act on the committees
on credentials, order of business and
resolutions respectively, and at l2
O'Clock the convention adjourned to
meet at 3 O clock, when the commit
tees named will report.
The balloting for the gubernatorial
nominee will probably not begin be-
fore 80 or O'Clock A careful can
vas by the opposing generals has
failed to develop the entire strength
of any candidate, but it is dead certain
no choice will be made either on the
first or secoud ballot. Both the Stim-
son and Orman factions are confident
of success. while Judge Theron
Stevens friends claim that he holds
the balance of power and will event
ually win first place in the contest.
LATER Denver bulletin. 3:30-
No balloting has been done as yet but
Ormanites have thrown up the sponge.
They concede that Stimson will be
nominated on the second ballot.

most sensational event.
Death of Ellsworth.
No place in Alexandria has more attrac-
ton for the visiting Grand Army men than
the old Marshall House on King street.
Doubtless thousands of veterans during the
encam oment will inspect with great interest
the pain brick building at the southeast
corner of Pitt and King streets rendered
secure to lasting notoriety by one of the
earliest and most distressing tragedies of
the civil war. The story of the shooting
of the young and gallant Colonel Elmer F.
floor of this house in the spring Of 1861, has
always been of interest to people both
north and south 1t was forcibly recall6
a few days ago by the death at her home
in this city of Mrs. Sibby Ann Padgett,
who made the confederate flag which,
defiantly Haunting within view of the Capt.
tol and in the presence of United States
soldiers, was directly responsible for. the
death Of Colonel Ellsworth and James w.
Jackson, the proprietor of the tavern. Mrs.
Padgett died at an advanced age She had
lived until the tragedy with which her
name was innocently connected had grown
distant, though not dim, in memory. In
deed, most of those who had aught to do
with the attendant events have passed off
the stage of human activity.

records the first shedding of blood in Alex

The foliage of the cemetery is beautiful.
There are large number of handsome
trees and many shrubs of choice variety
rendering the place delightfully."- shady and
pretty IN the summer time. Arranged in
long parallel rows in the burial section are
the graves, leveled and covered with a good
turf. There are paths between the rows
Neat headboards mark the final earthly
resting places of the deceased soldiers and
several have been furnished with handsome
slabs by surviving friends.
OF the 1896 bodies inferred in this ceme-
terry 3,171 are those of white Union soldiers
Two hundred and forty three colored fed
eral soldiers are buried there also a few
confederates and citizens. A little over
hundred out of the total number are I'M
known. Most of these bodies were removed
to this cemetery from the numerous hos
pitfalls in Alexandria and from points in
this vicinity.
Nor have the southern veterans of Alex
andria been unmindful of the last resting
places of their comrades who fell in the
strife. In Christ Church yard there is a
mound on which a tablet tells of the many
dead who were buried there. And every
Grand Army veteran who comes to Alexan-
dria views with interest the bronze statue

rapidly toward me- his face boiling with
rage and sputtering a mixture Of Spanish,
French and English, which / could fairly
understand, owing to a slight knowledge Of

pious conduct in expecting a miraculous
cure without observing the vital requisite Of
first paying ten dollars.
He directed the lady to inform me that
by the pay nent of ten dollars It would not
be necessary for me TO again see him in
order to effect the miraculous cure Of the
chronic cough with which I was afflicted.
All had to do after paying the ten dollars
was to go to my room at a certain hour at
which hour the doctor would solemnly and
reverently exercise his miraculous power
and command a cure upon which these un-
seen influences would enter my bosom and
my cough would instantly depart.

perience and my conclusions to my lady

the doctor We had warm argument about
il, but their belief in his miraculous powers
was mistaken by all could say, and was
obliged 10 retire wondering why ladies Of
intelligence and sulture should be taken in
by such a plain and palpable fraud, and
there the matter ended"
The Health Departments attention is
called to the fact that Dr. de Sarak is
practicing medicine in this District. We
have the names Of ladies' who paid him as
much as $50 for treatment both of body and
soul. The District attorney has been ap-
pealed to by one of his victims, but as she
declined the notoriety Of being chief pros
ecutor, where so many have been victims,
although perfectly willing to appear as a
witness, Mr. Gould would take no action.
The fraudulent mountebank is located at
1872 r street northwest, and is doing
thriving business. His lady attendant has
excited the sympathy Of several of the
DOCTORS victims as they believe he has her
hypnotized and she is entirely under his
influence. and it is alleged subjected to i'll

give the gentleman a call or have one Of

RAYMOND AL RAScHED.
An Honest Tribute BY a Grateful
Man Whom He Aided and
Put on His Feet.

Editor Sunday Globe.
Kindly give me space in your paper for a
few words about Mr.. Raymond and Charles
Luscombe, am well acquainted with and
have had dealings with both of them. What
astonishes me most is that the women
living near I.uscombe have not lYnched
him long ago, for if ever a man merited it
he is that man. He is a fellow with lying
tongue and an uugoverning temper, who for
years has been terrorizing his poor neigh
bors by taking out warrants for them on
trumped charges He has had dozen or
more women arrested inside of a year with
out securing a single conviction. AS for
Mr.. Raymond his acts show for themselves
what kind of a man he is. Some years ago
he had Fireman Wenyl exonerated and re.
stored to District employment after being
three times found guilty and dismissed
from the department Since then nu.
merous kindly acts have proven him to
be our friend. Policemen too have seen
how he has stood by privates Boland
Boteler, Kittle, Hile, and others in their
darkest hours, therefore they too look upon
him as their friend. Neighbors can point
to a hundred persons for whom he has
found employment when it was badly
needed to keep the grim wolf at bay
For myself can say that came to Wash
ington just thirteen years ago Was picked
up as a tramp on account of my seedy ap-
pearance and sent down to work upon the
chain gang for two months Mr.. Raymond
was pointed out to me by one of the guards
as one who could obtain my release
stated my case to him and in two days /
was free man enjoying his hospitalities,
until he later on procured me employment.
found in the spacious annex to his home
twelve others whom he had come in contact
with under similar conditions to my own,
that he took in and obtained employment
for. This is the true character Of the man
which Iuscombe, of whom no one can speak
a good word, has said is not known. He
has often, as in the case of Luscombe, been
requitcd by ingratitude but that never pre-
vented him helping the next man that came
along. He has long since set aside his
palette and brushes as a victim Of incurable
malady and has no income except a small
salary from a secret organization Of which
he is president but while there is fireman
or policeman living in the District he will
never want for a dollar. Had we but a
dozen more Raymonds in this city, police
men and 6remen would not be treated by
their chiefs like so many two-legged dogs.
We would be working shorter hours and the
merit Of such men as Chief Belt would be
rewarded. Another case worth mentioning
is that of a colored man, named David
Hardy, whom he induced Judge Barnard to
turn loose afterhe had been twice convicted
of rape. The Judge told the prosecutor
that Mr.. Raymond's evidence convinced
him that the man was innocent and that he
would not sentsnce and ordered his release
from custody. Respectfully,
A FIREMAN.

Let the veterans but change the political
majority in Congress at the November cleo
tions, and you will see Evans order Of June
80, 1900, for concealing degrees Of disabili-
ties through smothering out the medical ex-
animation before the county medical exam-
ining boards, revoked, and the order Of
Commissioner Lochren substituted When
Congress passed the act of 1894 requiring
Lochren to return to rating disabilities
under section 46oo, Loehren at once ordered
that the medical boards should give the rate
after each disability. Evans had followed
that order for four years. When Evans
issued this order of June 80, for circumvent-
ing the law (See GLOBE, November "a and
later issues).
Judge Rassieur in his outgoing speech as
Commander-in.C Chief before the last G. A.
r. encampment declared that Evans order
of June 80, 1000, was 10 smother medical ex-
aminations, enable the medical referee and
his assistants to do as they pleased in rating
without regard to the law and disability,
and to defraud claimants Rassieur said it
was an order how not to do it."
Judge Rassieur's stand against Evans
fraudulent administration, and that speech
rAade in support of this stand, did more to
bring the administration to action than all
else. This fact shows the importance to the
veterans of having officials who can be re-
lied upon. Had the preceding G. A. R.
officials appointed or elected by the Phila-
delphia national encampment not turned
traitors to their trust, thousands Of veterans
whose claims stand rejected through Evans
fraudulent course would to-day be drawing
pensions. All honor to faithful officials!
Change the political majority in Congress
at next election and you will see Commits
sioner Ware instructed to issue orders for
medical examinations in increase cases as
soon as in original cases. He is now de-
frauding each successful claimant out of
from six to eight months increase. The
GLOBE has shown that Evans had actually
stolen from the veterans over $4,000. 900 in
this way by merely delaying the medical
order six months.
