1t has been stated that the nomination of
Daniel F. Davis for governor by the Maine re-
publicans was triumph for Senator Hamlin
over Senator Blaine. Report had it that Blaine
and Hamlin were ''out," and that the latter had
been hard at work manipulating things to pre-
vent the nomination of Blaine's supposed can
didate, Eugene Hale. According to later re-
ports from Maine, it appears that the nominal
ton Of Davis was not the work OF any 'sring,"
but that his name was brought forward In the
Fourth Congressional District delegation
meeting, By Piscataquis county farmer, who
said the people up his way wanted "Honest
Frank Davis" A ballot of the delegation
showed Davis TO be the general choice, and his
nomination In the convention was the result Of
this spontaneous movement In that delegation
1t Is said further that Mr.. Blaine In the critical
position OF the republican fortunes In Maine,
did not think it good policy to nominate can
didate like Mr.. Hale, who, however able had
the prestige OF defeat In his own Congressional
district. 1t Is stated, also, that Mr.. Blaine will
enter at once upon the active work of "organi-
zing victory In September. The Maine re-
publican managers feel rather ashamed Of the
manner in which they were surprised last year,
and do not mean apparently to be caught nap
ping again.

Z IN THE STORM.

She stood with the open letter in her
hand, trembling and ashen- pale, and at
last had to clutch AT the nearest chair to
keep herself from falling.
"It is all overt" she cried, after a
while, putting her hand to her forehead
with q dazed look; "all overall over,
And vet, oh, how l loved him!"
The match between Lydia Trentham
and Leonard Drake had been q runa-
way one. Her family was richer than
his, and ambitious that she should make
q great alliance, for she was beautiful
and accomplished, and had such q
charming manner that every body
raved about her. When, the refore, she
fell in love with Leonard Drake, who
had but a comparatively small COM
petence, and no business knowledge
whatever, her father angrily babe her
to dismiss such a lover forever from her
thoughts. But with Lydia, as with most
romantic girls, this stern decree acted
only as an incentive. She thought her
father unjust, and went on loving Drake
more than ever. Finally she eloped.
From that day her parents looked on
her as on the dead.
"She has made her bed, let her lie 10
it." said her father, savagely.
There had been only one cloud on the
happiness of the wife. She had come
to her husband penniless when he had q
right to expect a fortune, and she fear
ed that some day he might regret his
