AN EYE OPENER.
Truths About Democratic Misrule In
hndroscogain Told at Lisbon.

Lisbon, Me. Aug. 12-"We had our
eyes opened all right tonight" reinark-
ed l.. A.. Jack of Lisbon Falls. chairman
o: the Lisbon town committee after the
day evening. I'VE supposed the Demo-
Gratis had run county affairs recllleSSly
during the past four years. but we had
no idea things were as rotten and dis
gustng as they are"
Mr.. Jacks remark expressed tie sen
timent of all those who heard Mayor
Merrill Of Auburn. Republican cauoi-
date sheriff and George S. mccarthy.
Re,uhlican candidate for county attoi-
ney. -}l
Both speakers brought out many new
phases of Democratic misrue and it is
understood that they have many more
M their sleeve So that they will be able
to give their audiences something new
Zach night during the campaign.
MAYOR Merrill showed for the first
time how the county commissioners
nave neen borrowing money to the eX-
tent of $3i,500 when the law provides
that they cannot borrow beyond $lo,ooo
without a vote Of the people.
'"They ought to he indicted for mai
feasance in Office says Lisbon man
Mayor Merrill also showed where
the Democrats have covered un the
cost of the Sturgis Commission to TINS
county. There is due the state from
the county $4,000. At the sam" time
these IDENTITIES have earned the county
nearly $4,000. All of this money couiu
have clear gain if Sheriff Hastings
had Obliged his idle liquor deputies to
have done this work of the Stugis dep
mites. word from him year ago or
now and the Sturgis deputies would
be withdrawn.
He also showed with remarkable
clea-ncss the absolute failure on the
part of the Hastings deputies even To
make a bluff at enforcing the law By
siving the figures of the cases brought
BY both sets of officers.
Mr. Mccarthy replied to all the state
mcrt& of NcSsrS. Norey and Belleau
in their lewiston City hall speech on
the 6tb, fea"lessly reiterated some facts
which the Democrats questioned then
and stated many more truths.
All in all. it was an enthusiastic
rally. That thc people were deeply in
terested was apparent from the close
attention they paid the speakers VINO
talked nearly two hours. During mat
time no one left the hall.
Seated on the stage with the speakers
were Hon H. E. Coolidge. Republican
candidate for representative from Lis
bon. and c. A. Jordan of Lisbon, Reaub
Iican candidate for county treasurer.
L, A. Jack presided. In calling the raj
ly to order he said:
We have met tonight to discuss our Off
Gals for the next two years. This is al
important matter for they handle largo
of money and the trusts repose
in them.

There is no faint of narcotic or al

boast that perfect manhood that re-

without the dangerous embellishments
so common to city life. Tobacco and
strong drink he knows not. Fresh air
and plenty of hard work have been his
only tonics.
He was born on the present Mcleod
homestead, near Albany. in Gentry
county, Mo-, some so miles from St.
Joseph the northwest metropolis of
the SHOW Me" state. July Is. 1882. His
20 years have been spent as farmer
boy, working as do other boys and
having only the sports and pastimes
common to rural life as his recreation.
