Second District Democrats.

The Second District Democratic con
vention at Auburn Wednesday ended il
a split and two sets of delegates
and anti-Hearst. The Hearst boomer.
from their headquarters in Knox County
were present in force and tremendously
enthusiastic. Hon. NJ. L. OBrien OF
Lewiston, a Hearst man, was chosen
chairman without opposition. The
trouble came when resolutions instruct
ing the delegates to be chosen for VIII
liam K. Hearst were presented by DR.. G.
Langtry Crockett. NJ. l.. kimball, Esq.
of Norway, after some difficulty in secur'
ing recognition by the chair, spoke in
opposition Ia instructing the delegates
though he expressed his personal pref
srence for Olney. The resolutions were
finally declared carried by the chairman,
and chorus of Doubted from the
anti Hearst side of the house was entire
ly ignored by him. ID. X. Hastings OF
Auburn was then nominated for con.
gress by the Hearst men, the rest APP
parently taking no part.
The anti-Hearst men, under the lead
of ID. j. McGillicuddy, then withdrew to
the rear of the hall, and held a conven.
ton of their own. III. G.. FosS of Au-
burn was nominated for congress, and a
list of delegates and alternates to the
national convention was chosen. NJ. l..
Kimball was secretary of this convention,
and is also the Oxford County member
of the district committee.
The Hearst portion of the convention
also chose list of delegates to the
national convention.
Apparently, of the As delegates report
ed present from Oxford County, none
were in the Hearst wing, as the district
committee chosen by that portion of the
convention has no member from this
county.

And now June is here again, and be-
fore the month ends the days will have
reached their greatest length and begin
to shorten up a little. Neither time nor
tide tarries for any one. But yesterday,
as it were, the mercury was far below
the CIPHER, many of the aqueducts were
frozen solid, and the ice on the lakes
was three feet in thickness. The poet
hit pretty near the mark when he said:
''Time like an Indians arrow flies,
Or Ike shooting star"
Perhaps some would prefer ITO have the
couplet written in this way:
Time like an Indians fatal arrow flies,
Or like meteor falling from the skies.
1t was just one year ago that we start
ed on our visit to Togus, and everybody
remembers the drouth at that time, and
what the prospect was then for hay
crop. There had been no rain during
the spring, the weather was cold, the air
was full of smoke and the sun rose
travelled his daily journey and set, look
ing like a red hot cannon ball. Then
there was little or no grass on upland,
and so dubious did the hay crop look
that hay was selling for $40 per ton.
Now look upon the fields and note the
contrast.
But little planting has been done as yet
owing to the copious rains; few days
more of favorable weather and the work
will be accomplished
Pearl Whitman continues to improve
in health so that he gets out occasionally
and does few light chores.
Charles Judkins, whose wife died the
first day of January, is very feeble and
says his life's journey will soon come to
a close. He is now in the seventies and
so rheumatic as to be unable to put his
clothes on or of without assistance. Mr.
Judkins has seen the usual amount of
family trouble, having buried two mar
ried daughters in addition to his wife as
just mentioned. His children now con-
sist of three sons and two daughters, all
married except the youngest son.
A few weeks ago it was mentioned
that Charles b. Brooks was again desti-

Bryant is in the same condition. Proba-

There have been several snow storms
in May during the last half century, and
last week something happened which re-
Sembled one very much in miniature.
Standing near by and in row are three
large crab apple trees which blossomed
profusely, and when the petals were just
ready to fall there came a strong wind
which blew the most of them from the
trees, thus filling the air like snow
squall, so that one person who saw the
phenomenon was heard to exclaim:
"Just see how it snows!" When in full
bloom those trees sent forth perfume
well calculated to remind one of the
words in Paradise Lost:
Eve separate he spies,
Yelled In a cloud Of fragrance"

The Governor Contest.

Caucuses to choose delegates to the
Republican state convention are being
held nearly every day now. While more
delegates are being chosen for Cobb than
for either of the other candidates, with
the growth of the list the preponderance
of the Cobb delegates as against the
field grows less. The lists differ as
made up by different papers, but most of
them two weeks since gave Cobb rather
more than half of those chosen, while
now they give him something less than
half, and it is altogether likely that his
percentage will decrease still more be-
fore the time of the convention. APP
pearances strongly indicate that the de
cision of the contest will rest with the
delegates standing in the uninstructed
column, and that the first ballot will not
settle il. Still, it is impossible To tell
just how all the votes will go, until the
ballot is taken.
