speech, touched upon the political situa-
tion, and then gracefully introduced the
speaker Of the evening.
After paying well-deserved compli-
ment to his opponent for the nomination,
Col. Fl. E. Hsmlin, Mr.. Goodwin, took up
the business in hand, and for an hour
discussed the issues OF the campaign.
He attacked the democrats as a party,
not as individuals, compared its promises
with its performances, laid bare its in
sincerities; showed how by failing to tell
the whole truth it was attempting to de-
ceive the people as to the real facts OF its
own record for the past year and half;
how it was claiming credit for doing some
things it hadn't done, and for doing some
things it couldn't help doing.
Near the close, and briefly, he discussed
the question of protection and free trade,
indicating how essential it was that the
republican policy OF protection should be
maintained, and how vital it was to the
welfare and prosperity OF Maine.
He closed with a strong appeal for the
election Of Hon. William t. Haines Tor
governor.
The Ellsworth band played in the
square, marched to the hall, and furnished
excellent music before and after the
speeches.

tea because my stomach would not re-
tain anything else. / took many rem
edies, but obtained no relief until I
took Hoods Sarsaparilla, when began
to gain at once. Am now cured"
Pure rich blood makes good, strong

CONTEST SUCCESS.
1t is gratifying to be able to say that
this voting contest has been carried
through from start to finish without the
slightest friction. A few minor misun-
derstandings arose early in the contest
over interpretations OF the rules govern
ing the contest, but everyone Of them was
satisfactory settled.
The promoters OF the contest, The Pub
lisher's Music Co., of Chicago, have been
entirely fair with this paper and with the
contestants in every respect.
