POLITICAL.

Hon. George H. Pillsbury publishes a
letter declining the nomination for theLeg-
islature rendered him by the republicans of
Lewiston.
The Portland Press says the report that
call for convention to nominate a new
candidate for Congress in that district,
has been numerously signed, is untrue.
The Press says such call was circulated,
but it received so little favor that it was
abandoned. The Press adds "As election
approaches, the disaffection among the re-
publicans of York county diminishcs, and
Mr.. Lynch will go out of York county
next Monday, with a handsome majority,
which Cumberland will increase"
A Danvillc correspondent of the Argus
says 1.-THE democrats of Danville and Mi
not district, have nominated William
Woodbury., Esq, for candidate for Repre-
sentative and instructed him to vote for
General Chamberlain for U. S. Senator"

AID FOR FRANCE.

In the difficulties of their situation the
new government in France calls upon the
United States for aid. Comprehending
that the sympathy of the American people
with Germany was inspired by the un-
justifiable course of Napoleon in forcing
war, and dislike to his personal govern
ment, and not on account of antipathy to
the French people, the latter no sooner
declare republic then they extend their
hands to us for aid Instinctively they
realize that all the nations around them
are hostile to the course which they are
taking, and that neither aid nor sympa-
thy can be expected in that direction,
and so their prayers come across the At
lantic for help, to the one republic which
stands as the beacon and hope Of all peo-
pie struggling for liberty.
Such an appeal cannot fail to touch our
sympathies. 1t turns back our thoughts
to the times when Washington and his
fellow patriots, fighting. suffering, almost
exhausted, received substantial aid which
enabled them to 60 forward and complete
successfully their good work, while in the
ranks of the enemy fighting against our
fathers stood the Hessians, the paid hire
lings of England, brought from Germany
to assist In keeping the British yoke up
on our neck. We think of Lafayette,
D'Estaing. Rochambeau and the joint
triumph of the American and French
arms ut Yorktown. giving the finishing
blow to British TYRANNY over the Ameri-
can Colonies. But while the cry for help
Is heard. and our sympathies are aroused

suit to France from q well established

obliged to tell them that the work and

victory must be their own. Ii they can
not stand upon their own strength there
is no salvation for them. Their statesmen
know this. They know that this govern
mept cannot interfere in their domestic
concerns if it would. without damaging
the cause of free government Our inter-
ference would be good apology, if they
need any, for the crowned heads OF Eu-
rope to step in and establish despotism
or such government as might suit their
purposes. We shall be more powerful for
intervention, should its justification and
necessity arise, if we keep strict faith with
other nations, manifesting no temper to
unwarrantably push our ideas or interests
in the case. 1t would be folly for us and
France to provoke their united strength
against ours, with three thousand miles of
ocean between.
There is hope for France only through
her own resources. If her people stand
up firm and united for republic. and her
leaders with dignity, simplicity and hon.

respecting the rights and opinions of 9TH
ers, and avoiding theatrical flummery and
attacks upon religion, using wisely the
courage and ability which they have. they
may make a footing for republic that the
aristocrats of Europe will not dare to as
sail, and which if they did would furnish
the United States an occasion to became
a party to the quarrel. The greatest
doubt about the success of the French in
their new attempt at self government rests
upon want of faith in themselves. The
lack of high moral purpose and want of
power of individual self government is
painfully evident. We achieved our sue
cess, not by flaming manifestoes and tragic
attitudes to strike an admiring world,
but by patience, by marches through frost
and snow with naked and bleeding feet,
by trust in Providence, and steady sup
port of the men and measures necessary
for the purpose. When France stands
morally upon the plane OF the men who
established this government she will be
able to fight her battle for freedom alone.
1t is not more men she needs, nor courage,
eloquence, nor spirit, but more solid, man.
ly character With this she can have and
sustain republic; without it this last at
tempt will be like those of 1892 and 1913,
a failure. The first step TO take is to close
the war. 1t was the war of Louis Napo-
leon, not of France. 1t was begun with
out cause and ought to be ended as soon
as it may be on reasonable terms. The
French people are not responsible for it
thus far, but should they continue it without
efforts at peace it will be theirs to answer
