A friend has given the Saunterer
of the Portland Sunday Telegram a
copy of the Maine Inquirer printed
at Bath, Wednesday, Dec. 10. 1886.
This was Il Democratic paper, pub
lished weekly by John Ramsay. The
other newspaper in the Shipping
City at that date was the Lincoln
Telegraph. a weekly published by
Elisha Clark, supporting the prin-
ciples of the Wing Party. This copy
of the Maine Inquirer Is four-page
paper, five columns to page.
Nearly 13 columns are taken up by
the Message to the Congress of
President James X. Polk. In this
message the President devotes con-
siderable space to the strained rela-
lions between Mexico and the
United States in regard to Texas,
but perhaps not believing that the
subsequent annexation would be fol-
lowed by two-year's war be-
tween the two countries. The In

columns given up to the Presidents
