HANNIBAL HAMLIN

Was born in Paris, Oxford Co., Maine, Aug
1909, and is now ia the 5lst year of hi
age. lie is by profession lawyer, but
for the last twen'y-four years has been
mostly in political life. From 1886 to
lSi0, he WAS mem Der Of the Legislature
OF Maine, aud for three Of those years be
was the Speaker Of its House Of Represen-
tatives. 10 lS47, be vas again a member
Of the State Legislature, and the next
year was chosen to Gil a vacancy, occasion
ed By the death Of John Fairfield, in the
UUitel States Senate. In 1851, be was
again elected for the full term in the same
b.dy, but resigned on being chosen Gov
eruor of Maine, in 1856. In the same
year, he was again elected 10 the United
States Senate for six years, which Office
he accepted, resiguing the Goyernorsbip.
Tuis record IS au evidence of the cluf-
dence with which he has always been sa-
g1rdei by his fs.iow-citizsus in Maine
Up to the passage of the Kansas NJ
brask4 Bill, in 1854, Mr. Hamlin was a
member Of the Democratic party, (aui
va, Democratic Chairman Of The Commit
tee on Commerce at that time) That
Act he regarded as proof that ID. party,
with which he had been all bis Afe con-
uected, DO longer deserved tie uame Of
DIN cratic, aud was treacberJus 10 the
principles be had SO long cherished
IAenceforwarl, be gave his support to
the Republican party, Of which be has
ever since continued faithful and dls.in-
gulshed leader.
Mr.. Hamlin is man Of fair, diguifed
presence, Of solid abilities, Of unfiuehiug
integrity, aud great executive talent.
Fami.iar with the business Of legislation,
he is peculiarly adapted, by. the possession
Of all these qualities, to Gil bene6elaiy
for the country, aud to his own and to bis
party's honor, the high post for which be
has been nominated.
We have heard it stated that 10 his
youth Mr.. Hamiiu welded the b,acksmIth's
BANNER. 1t Is evident that be Is msu
of the people, aud sympalhizes with and
has the c5uflenee of the masses. HIS
running for Governor had great iuaaeuce
in completely ousiing the Democracy iu
Maine. Ia the campaign of 1886 be
spent weeks aud months in srumpipg tha,
State. and be also did hard but effective
work in several towns in Pennsylvania. /
TIE name of HauuibaI Hamlin, Maine, /
is fl second to tha, Of Abraham Lucoln
Of Illinois.

From the Cincinnati dA1ett
Honesty the Best Policy:

4 A little boy named Johupy Palmer. who.
with a widowed mother whom be supports
by selling newspapers, lives in one OF the
byways OF the Thirteenth Ward. while dill
igently pursuing his vocation, on Tuesday
afternoon, on Filth street, near Race, beheld
lying upon the sidewalk large morocco
pocketbook. With an eagerness which we
cannot describe, Johnny bounced upon it,
and with JOY almost irrepressible beaming
from his countenance, he commenced an in
vestigasion of its contents, and found that
his treasure consisted OF 1926 in bank notes
and a number OF papers-the nature OF
which he could lot explain. On the inside
OF the pocketbook Were the words, Thorn
as Mason, Louisville. ky.'-the name and
residence of the owner. johnny hesitated
for some time as TO what he had better do in
the matter. and finally he concluded to go
home and consult with his mother. She ad-
vlscd him, if possible. to find the owner, as
surfing him that no gentleman would per-
init honesty 10 go unrewarded, and that to
keep the money and papers he had found,
would be equivalent to stealing them. john
ny agreed to obey the maternal dictate, but
to find the owner of the budget would. he
thought, be difficult task He concluded
that his best plan was TO visit the hotels and
WuStiSI iiie 6eHtitLidH WIN
whose name the pocketbook was Inscribed
was stopping at any one Of them. AT the
Walnut Street House lie ascertained that a
Mr.. Mason OF Kentucky was registered, and
that he had lost large amount OF money
AMI some valuable papers. The httle fell
low sought and obtained interview with
him. Mr.. Mason appeared to be no less
highly pleased at the honest and manly con
duet Of the youthful news vender, than at
the return of his lost treasure; and after be
coming conversant with all the facts con.
nected with it, SO far as the boy was con-
cerned, took Johnny to clothing store on
Main street, and rugged him out in an en-
entire new suit, including fine oveicoat-
costing in all SAB. The gallant Kentuckian' S
generosity did not end here. He purchased
for the mother of the honest newsboy a
silk dress worth $50, and gave him $50 in
money besides. Thus equipped, the lucky
juvenile scampered home, satisfied in his
own mind that honesty is the best policy,
and apparently more joyful than he was
when he found himself in possession of 1896
which did not legitimately belong to him
His mother was Of course highly delight
ed with the present sent to her, and with
the liberal amount OF the needful which Mr..
Mason had given to Johnny; BUT still more
did she appear to be delighted at the lesson
which the lberalitv of that gentleman
taught her only child.
