THE MAINE ELECTION
Republicans Expect Over
r 30,000 Majority.
LARGEST IN A PRESIDENTIAL YEAR
Bound-Money Canvass Conducted Under
Most Favorable Circumstances
Tbe List or Candidates.
Augusta, Me., Sept. 13. II the
weather ia fair tomorrow, Hon. Llewellyn
Powers, Republican, will be elected gov
ernor of Maine by over 30,000 majority,
with a strong possibility that the figures
will be nearer 40,000. At least, that is
-what the prophets of both parties, who
have been figuring tbe vote for tbe past
three weeks, declare. Final instruc
tfons have been given, all plans are
completed, and the ranks are closed for
tbe battle of ballots which will show to
what extent the people of tbe state favor
tbe gold standard,'and how many are
enlisted in the cause of free silver.
Chairman Manley, of the Republican
state committee, believes that the fig
ures will be the largest ever given in a
presidential 'year, and his Democratic
opponents practically agree with him.
Not in twenty years has the Pine Tree
state seen such a vigorous canvass with
so much interest manifested. During
the last three weeks, it is estimated that
over 700 speeches have been delivered in
all sections of the state by orators of
local and national fame, in behalf of
both parties. Tons of campaign docu
ments have been distributed.
Tbe Republican canvass has been con
ducted under the more favorable circum
stances. Maine has never heard so
many distinguished Rapnblican orators
as during the past few weeks. On the
other band, the Democratic host, has had
many dissenters within its lines and the
number of prominent deserters has been
large. Six weeks ago, all was confusion
and disorganization in the Democratic
camp. The fighting fund was small and
victory was practically impassible. But
tbe supporters of free silver rallied the
faltering army, and took np the contest,
determined to make the best fight pos
sible and until the last gun was fired,
they resisted stubbornly. The Demo
cratic managers maintain that the doc
trine of 1 free silver was practically, un
known in Maine two months ago, and
tbey argue that the Democratic vote
which will be cast tomorrow means that
their policy has made great gains in the
last few weeks. They declare that if the
Republican majority falls below 20,000 it
will be a Democratic victory.
BDICBKRED BY SPANIARDS.
Cubans Massacred In Matanxas Prov
ince. Key West, Sept. 13. Advices from
Havana by the steamer Mascotte give
details of a massacre of Cubans in Ma
tanzas province by Spaniards under
General Molinas. The butchery oc
curred on Las Calas sugar estate. Moli
nas heard an insurgent band was en
camped on the estate and ordered a raid
The insurgents had gone when the
Spaniards arrived, and Molinas ordered
tbe buildings on the estate destroyed.
The Spaniards surrounded the .homes of
the employes, applied the torch and
shot the Cubans as they ruBhed out.
Eighteen men and four women were
killed outright, while thirteen others,
including three children, were wounded.
Molinas was a pleased spectator of the
massacre, and reported it to Weyler as
a "glorious victory." - . ...
.Thursday insurgents . raided. : and
burned the town of San Francisco de
Paula, a suburb of Havana. The Span
ish garrison of 300 men surrendered, but
were released after being disarmed. The
smoke and flames were visible in Ha
vana, and caused great excitement.
Weyler seems to have completely lost
his head.' He is having leading citizens
of Havana arrested by . the wholesale.
Weyler says the men arrested have been
plotting to have him recalled to Spain.
' The arrests have profoundly etirred.Ha-

the classes" in this contest and to that'
end have held up the millionaires as
supporters of McKinley and Hobart.
The fact that this was trifling, with a
dangerous subject does not at all con
cern those who are endeavoring . to
arouse class hatred. Tbey seem to have
no conception of what tbey are doingf
Yet they are fanning a breeze that
may grow into a whirlwind. The effort
is one of the most mischievous that has
as yet been made, and especially as it
can be shown that this silver agitation
is due to the plotting of silver mine mil
lionaires. Touching upon this question
a Washington dispatch to the New York
Herald says:
.The Republican' congressional cam
paign committee has given out' a state
ment showing the part played by the
owners of the silver mines of tbe country
in shaping the course of the recent con
ventions which have declared tor the
free and unlimited coinage of silver at
sixteen to one. The statement is intro
duced with a table giving the estimated
wealth of twenty-two individuals, and
corporations engaged in silver mining
and directly interested financially in the
opening of the mints to free coinage.
This is the table: " v ' .

After criticism of some of the wealthy
men who are. working for free coinage
the statement charges that William J.
Bryan has for years been paid to deliver
silver orations, and concludes:
; "To the silver mine owners the elec?
tion of Bryan and of a free silver Demo
cratic house means millions. Placing
tbe product of . their mines 54,000,000
ounces a year, though it would soon be
100,000,000 ounces, and tbe government
paying them at the rate of 31.29 an
ounce, and granting, for the sake of ar
gument, that it cost them eixty-eight
cents an ounce to mine it, the people of
the United States would ' pay into the
pockets of the silver, miners $41,000,000
per annum, and make gigantic monopo
lies in their platform. . This is an un
duly conservative estimate of the pro
fits of tbe silver barons ; the actual fig
ures would more likely be $75,000,000
per annum. ' It will be thus be seen at a
glance what is involved in tbe election
of Mr. Bryan,, not counting the evils
that would flow from the 'retirement of
upward of $600,000,000 of . gold upon
which the credit of the nation is fonnded.
The silver movement is a conspiracy,
and those behind it are the most desper
ate and unscrupulous men who have ytt
become foremost in American affairs. :

Recognized His Better Half.
An old man down in Sherman county
would not believe he could . hear his
wife talk a distance of ten miles by tele
phone. His better half was in Moro
during the lecent thunder ehower,
where there was a telephone, and the
skeptic was at Grass Valley, where
there was a similar instrument, and on
being told bow to operate the thing he
walked boldly up and shouted, " Hello,
Jane!" At that instant lightning
struck the telephone wire and knocked
the old gent down, and as he scrambled
to his feet he excitedly cried, "That's
Jane, all right!" Antelope Herald.
