SITUATION IN MAINE Demoorats and Populists Are at Bitter Odds, A Still Hunt Going on, for Which a Surprising Success is Predicted. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star, LEWISTON, August 18, 1896. Maine politics are always interesting. ‘There {s generally something tn the air that is of national interest. Especially 1s this true in a presidential year, for Maine is one of the few states which now elects its governor prior to the November election. In order to understand the status of pol tics In Maine at the present time it fs nec- essary to take a short retrospective view. The republicans this year have nominated as their candidate for governor Llewellyn Powers of Houlton, who was the last speak- er of the house of representatives. There is no gainsaying the fact that Mr. Powers is not a popular candidate, especially with the republicans of the western part of the state. It ts true that he was unanimously nominated, but !t was through the influ- ence of the so-called republican ring and against the wishes of the rank and file, as well as that of many prominent republi- cans. In an “oft year,” with a clean, able dem- ocratic candidate opposed to him, Mr. Pow- ers would be likely to be defeated. In fact, his nomination was so coldly received by some of the prominent party papers that many predicted that Mr. Powers would be defeated this year. But the action of the Chicago conventicn and the bringing of the silver issue to the front has caused his unpopularity to be obscured. Close Fight on Silver. On June 17 the democratic state conven- tion was held in Portland. The evening before the convention a banquet was given by Portland demecrats, and George Fred Williams of Massachusetts was the princl- speaker. It was on this occasion that Mr. Williams’ free silver views, much to the surprise of his friends, were made known. In the convention the following day Ed- ward B. Winslow, an able and conservative business man, who has never been promt- nent in politics, was nominated as candi- date for governor. When the financial plank came up in the convention a minor- ity report in favor of a compromise with silver was presented, and one of the most bitter battles that ever occurred in a Maine state convention followed. The silver forces were led by Edgar F. Hanson, mayor of Belfast, and M. Frank of Portland, who also appeared for the first time as a champion of sliver. The gold side was upheld hy William Henry Clifford of Portland and United States Dt trict Attorney A. W. Bradbury of Port- rd. who, although not a delegate, took a ading part in the debate on the floor. A olution solidly in favor of the gold stan- dard was adopted. After the Chicago con- vention Mayor Hanson of Belfast wrote an open letter to Mr. Winslow, the democratic nominee for governor, in substance asking him to declare for free silver or resign. The result was that Mr. Winslow finally de- clined to accept the nomination, and a new conventior was called, and held in Water- ville August 6. For Silver After All. The leading candidates were Edgar F. Hanson and M. P. Frank. After a spirited contest Mr. Frank received the nomination and the convention, tgnoring the resolu- tion of the convention of June 17, adopted a resolution In favor of free silver, and in- dorsing Bryan and Sewall. A few gold democrais, led by Clifford, bolted and drew up a paper dencuncing the action of the second convention in the most scathing language. These men decided to support ernor, and, although they t his name on the state vote for him by using Clifford for go’ were unable to ¢ tic they will stickers. At their state convention the populists nominated as their candidate for governor L. C, Bateman of Auburn, the editor of the Maine Populist, tne only organ of that party In the state. He ts an able man and an cloquent speaker, and is the idol and the acknowledged leader of his party in Maine. Sewall's St. Louts Defeat. After the Chicago co: man took the position that he was the logical candidate of the silver forces in Maine. He had been elected a delegate to the popullst national convention at § Louis and before he left to attend the con- vention informed Arthur Sewall, the dem- ocratic nominee for Vice President, that unless he (Sewall) would agra to support him as the candidate of the silver men in Maine that he wouid defeat him for the ention Mr. Bate- vice presidential nomination at St. Louis. It is now history that the St. Louis con- vention indorsed Mr. Bryan, but turned Sewail down, It 1s claimed that a speech made by Mr. Bateman in the convention and his personal work among the delegates defeated Mr. Sewall and resulted in the nomination of Mr. Watson. Mr. Bateman is now doing all possible to draw demo- cratic yoles from Mr. Frank, and some of ‘his enemles declare that he 1s in the pay of the republican leaders, but his friends say he is only acting from prin- ciple and to save the organization of the populist party. Surprise Predicted. It will be seen that the opposition to the republican party in Maine must necessar- lly be disunited and disheartered. The leaders, however, claim “that this is not true, and that on election day the republi- cans are to meet with a surprise party. They whisper mysteriously about a still hunt, which is being conducted and that at the last minute they are to have sinews of *ar in the shape of money from the national committee. ‘They say that the same tactics are being carried on as were adopted In 1876, when Tom Reed barely saved his seat in Congress. One of the members of the state com- mittee tells The Star corespondent that the reports from the country towns are most encouraging to the democrats, and that there was never such a demand for campaign Iterature. He says that the people are hungry for information about the silver question, and that they will cast their votes for Frank in September, and in November for the Bryan and Sewall electors. H. A.W. — TING THE PUBLIC. PROTE! The German Law to Prevent Unfair Business Methods and Swindling. U. S. Consul Lieber at Dusseldorf, Ger- many, in a report to the Department of State, incloses the translation of a law re- cently enacted by the legislature of the German empire intended to subdue certain forms of unfair competition and directed principally ageinst swindling advertise- ments, false statements of quantities, slan- der and the betrayal of business secrets. Persons knowingly and with an intention to evoke the appearance of a particularly advantageous offer making statements in public advertisements or in communica- tions intended for a larger number of per- sons concerning the quality, the method of production or the fixing of the prices of merchandise, or the possession of distine- tions (rewards), or the manner or sources of the purchasing of such merchandise, or of professional work, or the motives or purposes of the sale, which are untrue or qualified to mislead one, are to be subject to a fine. Any person offending a second time may be imprisoned. Those who, for purposes of competition, make or svread any assertions concerning another person’s business or the proprietor or manager of a business, or with relation to goods or professional work, intended to disturb the carrying cn of the business or injure the credit of its owrer, shall, the law requires, be responsible to the injured for the daniages, if the truth that sueh asser- tions were made can be proved. Persons making use in business of a name, a firm or special designation of a trade or an industrial undertaking in any way calculated to create confusion as to the name, firm, etc., shall be liable for damages. A penalty of not more than 3,000 marks or imprisonment of not more than a year is imposed on an employe com- municating to others during the time of his engagement, without being authorized, any business or trade secrets. GOLDEN HEADWAY Prediction That Virginia’s Negroes Will Vote for McKinley. GOLD DEMOCRATS MUCH ENCOURAGED The Contests in the Various Con- gressional Districts. WORKINGMEN CONVINCED Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. RICHMOND, Va., August 18, 1896. The leaderg of the sound money move- ment in this city are greatly encouraged at the general response throughout the state to the movement for the convention to be held in this city on the 27th instant. The call for the convention, which has just been published, has been liberally signed by representative democrats in several counties and cities. Mr. Joseph Bryan, the recognized head of the movement, is flooded with replies to the circulars sent out last week, a copy of which was published in The Star, and the work is rapidly assuming organized pro- portions. Mr. Bryan says that he has been agreeably surprised at the encour aging tone of the letters from men in the ‘al districts, which go to show that the mers are by no means unanimous in their support of the Chicago platform. Another remarkable feature in the change in sentiment is the rapidity with which the workingmen are deserting the silver standard. Little by little they are learning the lessons of an honost dollar. The movement to enlist the negroes in the silver cause has fallen flat. At a recent meeting of that ce held in the lower part of the ctty recently, goften up for the purpose of having them indorse the silver movement, a very amusing incident oc- curred. An Amusing Gold Argument. During the progress of the meeting Mr. J. W. Southward, the district chairman of the republican party, appeared and made the following statement: “Do you all know that the men who loaned their money to the government dur- ing the war and by whose aid you all were set free will be paid for that loan in 50 cent dollars if free coinage becomes a law? Do you want to rob the people who set_you fre No; that we don't,” was the general re- sponse, and the meeting at once broke up, the negroes dispersing with the fre quent declaration that they didn’t want any free silver. It can be safely asserted that the negroes in Virginia will vote colidly wit publican party x Congr n Thorp of the fourta district opened the campai 3ton, Meck- lenburg county, re he spoke to a large mixe + and negro voters. Mr. ected to Congre as a Tree silvet an- nounced himself as standing squarely on the St. Louls platform, and made a strong peech for sound money and a hign tariff. Speeches were also ma veral Le: horp, Ughts in the republican pa » both white cud colored, along the me line, A meeting of democrats was held at the same time to elect a county chairman, and to show the hysterical state which free sil- ver has reached in some of the rural d tricts, the only plea in advocacy of the two candidates for the place, was as to which had longest supported the free silver Idea, and the longest pole got the persimmons, as it were—that is, the man who proved the longest allegiance to silver got the chairmanship. So blatant and noisy is the advocacy of silver in such places that the gold men rather than come in direct antagonism go quietly on their way, and it. will not be known until election day what the silent vote will be. Large Gold Meeting. The meeting of the gold democrats, the so-called bolters, here tonight to organize @ sound moncy league was surprisingly large and enthusiastic, and, indeed, was by far the liveliest and largest political gathering of the campaign. The hall was packed to overflowing, and the enthusiasm and determination was at nigh tide. The officers elected are prominent, well- known democrats, and the committee on finance and state organization were chosen from the finest material for the work to be done. The reperts from various parts of the state assure a large attendance upon the democratic sound money convention, | to be held here on the 29th, to elect dele- gates to the Indianapolis convention, Jndge Waddill, treasurer of the republi- can campaign committee, returned today fom a tour of several districts of the state, and expressed himself as being much grat- ified at the trend of the canvass. He makes no denial of the fact that ample funds have leen furnished for the prosecution of the McKinley campaign in Virginia, but he says the most of it will be used to prevent him from being counted out after the vote is cast. Col. Lamb, the state chairman, ar- rived today, and will have his headquarters at Ford's Hotel. In Yost's District. Jacob Yost is pushing the canvass in the tenth district, having already spoken at Lexington, at Amherst and other points. On each occasion it was reported that his democratic opponent, H. D. Flood, would meet him in debate, and great interest was manifested In the outcome. Flood is im- petuous and not overdiscreet, and some of his friends fear the ouicome of a contest between him and the experienced and able republican candidate. Contrary to expec- tations, Mr. Flood has not appeared upon the hustings and was not on hand on either occasion. Geo. P. Faed, at the republican county meeting In Smythe county, Monday, to elect delegates to the district nominating convention, made the rather peculiar re- mark in his speech that free silver elected Gen, Jas. A. Walker last time, and it would likely cause his defeat this time. He per- haps referred to the strength of the free silver democrats, rather than Gen. Walker's personal attitude. Ex-Gov. Cameron will open the campaign for the national democratic party at Har- risonburg this week, and will thereafter make a vigorous canvass. His affiliations outside of the party for years will cause him a less cordial reception than if he were a Simon pure democrat. The situation in Virginia will take on more clear-cut lines after the sound money convention here Thursday weck. > CRUSHED TO DEATH. A Philadelphia Woman Ca ~ Blevator. Mrs. Mary Rumford, assistant housekeep- er of the Women’s Christian Association, was instantly killed at Philadelphia yes- terday while attempting to alight from a freight elevator on the eighth floor of the big association buiiding at 18th and Arch streets. In some unaccount- abie manner the elevator started be- fere she could get off. Her head was caught between the floor of the car and the door frame, and she was crushed to death. ‘The regular elevator attendant was away, and Mrs. Rumford operated it her- self, as she had often done before. She was about fifty years of age. see A German View of It. A recent number of the “Hansa” Ger- man Nautical Gazette of Hamburg con- tained the following complimentary notice of the. United States’ lighthouse estab- shment: “We have received the United States list of lights, corrected to January 1, 1896: In the appendix we find not less than 248 excellent pictures (phototypes) of the principal light stations and light vessels. Such an addition enhances the value of the beok uncommonly. In entire accordance with the well-known American liberality is the notice at the head of the title page: A copy of this list will be sent. tree $i charge to any shipmaster on application to the office of the Nghthouse board. The list may also be obtained from the local agents of the U. 8. hydrographic office, Messrs. Eckhart & Messtorff, Hamburg.” eht by an THE WORLD OF SOCIETY Sweet Peace Twined With Orange Blos- soms, The Pending Reconciliation in the Vanderbilt Family—Personal Notes of Interest. A pleasant rumor has gained credence at Newport that the wedding gift which Miss Gertrude Vanderbilt has asked of her father, and which he has been unable to refuse her, was his forgiveness of young Cornelius Van- derbilt and a complete reconciliation be- tween them. The fair brice-elect is devoted to her brother, and the estrangement in the family has given her great pain. Mr. and Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, jr., are expected in Newport today, the guests of Mr. and Mrs. R. T. Wilson, and it is thought will b recelved with open arms at “The Breakers. It will naturally follow that the couple will attend the wedding of Miss Vanderbilt and Mr. Harry Payne Whitney next week. Miss Vanderbilt's wedding gifts are of the most sumptuous character, and could only be sur- passed by a royal bride. At the wedcing of Miss Lille Randolph Dcdge, daughter of Mr. J. Heath Dodge of Georgetown, and Dr. Martin W. Goldsbor- ovgh of Cambridge, Md., yesterday, at St. John’s Church, Georgetown, Rev. Charles Buck, the rector, officiated. The bride was given away by her father, and wore @ dark blue traveling suit. She carried a white kid prayer book, from which the marriage ceremony was read. She were in her hair « sliver com> which was worn by her great-great-srandmother at her wedding, and aiso a brooch of diamonds and emer- alds, the gift of the groom. The ushers were Dr. Frank Keating, Robert Goldsbor- ough, R. Douglas Simms, Frank Dodge, Benjamin Darneille and James E. Wilson. Miss Carrie Heath Dodge, sister of the bride, was the maid of honor. The best man was Mr. T. Conrad Dox brother of the bride. After the mar: the wedding party went over to Baltimore in a special car, and later the bride and groom left for an extended trip north.
