Dana Williams and w. B. Swell
ton the Speakers-The Latter
Firmly Upholds Every Posi-
ton Taken by Gov. VIM. T.
Haines

Webster, Me- Sept. 4.-(SpeciaD.-
The Republicans held a well-attended
rally this evening at the Fisher
schoolhouse in this town.
The speakers were Dana S. Will
Jams, Esq, Republican candidate for
county attorney. and W. B. Shelton.
both of Lewiston Both speakers dis
cussed State and national issues.
Mr.. Shelton, in referring to the po-
sition of Governor Haines in this
campaign. said:
The people of this State have put
up to them in this campaign a oues-
ton of good government as it has
never been put up before. Governor
Haine and his administration have
stood squarely for the enforcement of
the prohioitory law. He has asked no
support from 1t enemies. He has en-
phatically told them that they need
expect no sympathy from him. The
issue is squarely defined. Let me
quote a few words from the latest
Year Book of the United States Brew
eTS ASSOCIATION.
Prohibition is no longer a joke
in Maine, in the view of the Pitts
burgh Dispatch. Gov. Haines is do
ing his utmost to see that it prohibits.
And the people of the State, who
seem to be almost equally divided on
the issue, are considering it in a new
light as a practical rather than an
abstract question. Yet il is
admitted that Gov. Haines has sign
ed his own political death warrant by
obeying his oath to enforce the laws
of the State as he found them. The
officials he has removed for failure
to do their duty have carried their
friends with them, and as they were
active politicians their resentment has
made the Governors re- election prac-
tically impossible. But beyond this
personal effect his course has chal-
lenged Maine to square and honest
pronouncement which cannot be eyad-
ed. The Dispatch believes that Maine
will have TO declare for effective pro-
hibition or abandon the pretence of
the law"
These are the words of the official
organ of the Brewers Association. 1T

division of General S. G. French was
ordered to march several miles farther
north to Allatoona, where the road
passed through a u sixty-ive feet
deep, fill the cut with stones, earth and
logs, burn the northern army stores at
Allatoona, her slip away west and
south and rejoin Hoods main army .on
the Dallas line before Sherman could
intercept the raiding column.
One Of Sherman's divisions under
General J. M. Corse was posted along
the railroad from Allatoona to Rome

troops. A small brigade, commanded
by Colonel j.. e. Tourtellotte, lay at

Signaled to Hold Allatoona.
About noon on Oct. 4 a message from
General Sherman at Kenesaw, Ca,
travelling from signal station to signal
station on the mountain tops, reached
Corse at Rome, ordering him to re-en-
force Allatoona. for the enemy was
marching upon it along the railway
from the south ahead of Sherman's re-
lieving column. There were no cars at
Rome for the movement of troops. A
train ordered up from Kingston was
wrecked on the way. BY wiring and
sending out engines In all directions
Corse got together twenty cars. loaded
1000 men into them. with 10000
rounds of ammunition, steamed toward
AIatoona, clearing the wrecked train
out Of the path, and reached the pass
at 2 a. m. on the 9Th, while the garrison
outposts were engaged In a lively skir-
mish with French's Confederates.
French had made a night march of
ten miles between II and 2 o'clock.
Picking their way over crag and preci-
pice and through underbrush and
slashings, his men enveloped the place
on the south, east and west and waited
for daylight Morning disclosed an
abrupt fortified ridge extending east
and west from the railroad and defend

crest OF the ridge east of the pass was
a star shaped earthwork. with guns
and rifle pits and abatis encircling 1t
from the brink of the cut above and be-

The ridge ON the west was crowned
by a stronger fort, with three small re-
doubts and rifle pits and abatis addi-
tionaI. In the mouth Of the cut on the
south were the depot and store build
