CHARLES MELVILLE DYER.

Monday, January Is, after an illness
of two months, Charles NJ. Dyer passed
quietly away to the great beyond, aged
90 years and 2 months. The cause of
death is given as Inflammation of the
liver, jaundice contributing.
Charles NJ. Dyer was born at West
brook, Me-, and was son of the late
Afford and Ann r. Dyer. In the early
sixties he went to Norton and engaged
in business. In 1867 he came to Island
Pond and went into business as a general
merchant in the store now occupied by
Fogg & Hobson. He sold out the bust
ness in 1888, and for a short time en-
gagged in numbering. January /, 1899,
he purchased the Stewart House, which
he conducted up to his decease.
To stranger, Mr.. Dyer seemingly
presented a brusque exterior, but never
a heart beat truer for his friends, and
those who knew him best and were the
most intimate with him can best appre.
ciate his good qualities. As a landlord
he was ever solicitous for the comfort of
his guests, his table was always fur
nished with the best the markets could
supply, aud under his management the
Stewart House was one of the most
comfortable and homelike hotels in this
northern country. The travelling public
will miss his CHEEKY and cordial greet
ing.
He was one Of eight to form and
build the Episcopal Church here, and
for many years, until the time the
Church was recognized by the diocesan
convention as parish, he was its treas.
urer, in fact he carried the entire debt
of the Church. Of these eight, only
four survive, the present rector, Rev. f
p. Lee, John Reeve, Fred r. Sadlier and
James Strathern. Mr.. Dyer was also
prominently identified with the secret
orders, and when Essex Lodge, |. O. 0
F., was instituted here he was the first
Noble Grand; also when Keystone
Chapter, R. A. NJ, was temporarily
moved from Barton to Island Pond hi
was unanimously elected High Priest
the presiding officer. These positions
he filled with dignity and ability.
He was man of staunch convictions
true to his principles and resolute fo1
what he believed to be right, and o
answering loyalty to his friends. Dun
ing personal acquaintance of over 2
years, a part of the time in close toucl
with him in many matters, he revealed
many sterling qualities and was alw ay
open and frank.
Mr.. Dyer was twice married. Hi
first wife died in 1878. May 1880 h
married Nellie McGlvern. who with on
, daughter, Ann R., and three sisters, SUI
vive him, and to whom we tender OF,
respectful sympathy.
Funeral services were held this Thur
day afternoon, conducted by the re-
tor of Christ Church, and by Islam

Gov ELECT DOUGLAS.
THE NEW CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF
STATE OF MASSACHUSETTS.
Received the Largest Plurality Ever
Given Democratic Guberna-
torial Candidate in
That State.

Boston, Mass.--William l. Douglas,
lhe Brockton manufacturer, who was
elected governor of Massachusetts, re-
ceived the largest plurality, s6,72a,
ever given a democratic gubernatorial
candidate In this state.
Although he will not say so public
ly, no one In the state was more sur
prised than Mr.. Douglas when the re-
suit OF the vote became known. He
was informed several days before the
election by the members Of the demo-
cratic state committee that he would
defeat Gov. Bates by 10000 votes.
Had Mr. Douglas cut Mr.. Bates plur-
ality over Col. CASTOR last year by
10000 he would have been satisfied
that his campaign had been a success.
The election of Mr.. Douglas is con-
coded to be the most amazing thing In
the history of Massachusetts, politics.
The pluralities OF the last democratic
governor appear puny beside the vote
Of the recent election. In 1890. when
Russell. the democratic candidate. de-
feated Bracket for governor. his plur-
atty was 9.053. In 1891 Russell de-
feated Allen by a plurality of 6.467.
In 1892 the plurality for Russell grew
still less, being only 1884.
Should Mr. Douglas die In Office
Massachusetts, would temporarily have
a republican governor, as Lieut.. Gov.
Curtis Guild has been reelected by
about $4,000 plurality over John Q.
Crosby the democratic candidate.
Governor-elect Douglas viii present
a Plan for commission to inquire
into the industrial needs of Massa-
chusetts upon his assumption of Office
next year. This is in line with his
purpose as outlined during the recent
campaign to obtain, III possible, re-
vision OF tariff laws and the estab-
hshment of reciprocity with Canadian
interests. Such commission will. In
the opinion of Mr.. Douglas, have
great influence toward these reforms.
Then through a submission of the
results to the people of the state for
referendum vote much will be gained,
Mr. Douglas believes, for Massachu-
sets industrial and commercial in
terests. This is the one definite re-
Martinsburg herald. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1881-1920, 1904-11-26

form that he has already decided to
initiate and push through as governor.
"As for any further plans which |
may desire to initiate" he said, in an
interview. sit would be unwise and un-
becoming in me to advance them until
after Inauguration as governor.
ut is my purpose as governor"
said Mr.. Douglas, ito serve the people
as whole; to do what | may to adj
vance Massachusetts interests In an
Industrial manner, and through these
sr1 other channels am confident that
tAe people of the state will benefit to
q large and appreciable extent
Il feel that in the choice of me as
governor by the people, of Massachu-
sets there Is a lesson. 1t is a protest
against the failure of the national
government in the past to heed the
call of Massachusetts, industries tor
reciprocal relations with Canada and
other tariff corrections that are es-
sential to our future success.
Il felt throughout the campaign
that the issues tried to present to
the people of Massachusetts were mat
tiers of concern TO every one with the
industrial interests of the state at
heart What | have said in the past
| shall carry out as governor of Mas
sachusetts."
ANY comment at this time as to
Mr.. Douglas views of a new democ-
racy would be unbecoming," said Mr..
Buchanan, private secretary to the
governor-elect. Regarding the causes
that led to his election. there are sew
erai things that tended to this result
The workingmen of the state support
ed Mr.. Douglas very strongly, large
business interests supported his stand
for reciprocity with Canada. His
election demonstrates that they agreed
with him that something ought to be
done toward relief from the Dingley
tariff and its effect on Massachusetts,
industries"
