The opening meeting led by Blaine at Lake Maranocook drew about 8000 attendees, far below the 25000 to 40000 hoped for.

What an infernal liar this man Ball is

A Buffalo inquiry notes Ball’s false charges about Gov. Cleveland’s social position. A subcommittee of Buffalo’s Independent Republican Committee defends Cleveland’s private character, citing long standing, reputable citizens who supported his mayoralty and governorship. Signers include John H. Cowing, George P. Sawyer, Josiah G. Munro, and others of Buffalo’s business and professional ranks. The report affirms Ball’s untruthful allegations and the high standing of those who vouched for Cleveland.

Vermont Maine elections hinge on quiet presidential year

The Vermont state election is due two weeks from Tuesday with Maine following a week later.
