unN. RnBERr A. CHAPMAN.

Hon. Robert A. Chapman, who died in
Bethel, April :, was born in Gilead, Me-,
Sent. %. 1907. His early education was
obtained in our common schools, and in
the Academy at Bridgton. After teaching
for A few winters in the district schools
he entered upon a mercantile life, which
he continued until few years previous
IN his death in Bethel, the town of his
adoption. BY his habits Of industry, en-
ergy and frugality, he was highly success
mi in business and acquired considerable
pr,perty. Besides filling many offices of
trust IN his own town, he was elected in
l>5l-52 TO the State Senate from Oxford
County where he distinguished himself for
his usefulness and ability in matters OF
legislation
Hewas married March -, 1883, to Frances
Carter. daughter OF DIR. Timothy Carter
~ Bethel. who survives him with five chill
5ren. three sons and two daughters, OF
whom the sons, Cullen c., Chas. J. and
Robert Chapman. and the older daughter,
Nr> Thos. r. Twitchell, reside in Portland,
and the younger daughter. Mrs. Enoch
Foster, Jr., in Bethel.
Mr.. Chapman was one of the earliest
advocates Of the temperance cause, and
when il was popular for every man TO
drink intoxicating liquors, and it could be
fouud for sale in almost every grocery and
variety store in the state, he yet refused
10 Weld to the popular demand and never
permitted any to be sold upon his premises
The village of Bethel Hill has grown up
with him. and he has contributed very
largely 10 its growth and advancement. In
1850 he connected himself with the First
congregational Church, and has ever been
q constant attendant upon its ordinaoceS,
and a liberal supporter OF its charities. d.
Thus passes away Que of our most re-
spected towusmen, fun Of years aud hon
ors aud a model of industry, integrity and
good citizenship. W.
His remains were taken 70 the church
where he has so long worshiped and laid
in state for several hours Friday, where
throng OF friends and neishbors improved
the opportunity Of paying the last tribute
OF respect to the departed. An impressive
sermon was delivered by the pastor, Rev.
;. /. Bowler, to large audience of sym
pathizing friends, from the text 1T is APP
pointed unto men once to die" The floral
decorations were rich and beautiful. Sat
urIay morning his remains were taken 70
Portland. and viii DC inferred in Evergreen
Cemetery.

AN HONEST VIEW.

We have heretofore noted the sound po-
sition of the Boston Post, and Its consis-
tent adherence to Democratic principles.
Those who know It's editor, will be pleas
cd to read the following letter which he
wrote to Gov. Garcelon during the contro-
versy. |, has the correct ring TO 1t, and
shows that Mr.. Emery is not willing to
sacrifice principle for party gain, nor to
cover up rascality out of personal consid-
erationS:
BoSToN, Dec. IS, -.
Ny DEAR SrR;-l have been too busy
20 write since your letter was received,
but was glad 20 hear from you direct.
Your principle IS correct, but fear your
Council made improper Determinations in
its application. II such is really the fact,
il will not stand the light now or after the
organization. am curious on the subject
on Your account, The John Burnham
case. a. reported, maheS j. appear that you
did no; know the facts, and had you known
them you would have come 10 different
result hope YOU have not been hood
wipked by others. Sooner or later all the
facts will come out. If there has been
monkery YOU ought 10 ascertain the fact
and not allow roguery of others 10 reach
YOU. You will be held responsible for
everything right or wrong. The shoe
pitches AZ several points. The Skowhe-
gan case appears 10 me departure from
the rule laid down. Gould's letter shows
that he then held the same opinion. III the
facts are reported correctly some Demo
cratic Representatives were admitted
by which Republicans were rejected. IL
4 trick was PLAYED 10 send ont blanks
adapted 10 deceive II was wrought the
allegation i unfouuded why has IL not been
authoritatiyely denied by Cove aud Pills
burr as a gross outrage: Perhaps this
has been done, but not 10 my knowledge.
Il i hard 20 make the pab.!c believe that
the Democratic returns were SO generally
correct and 80 many Republican ones fatally
defective unless ours were doctored 10

Enos Martin" OF Judge Tourgee's story,
ga Fools Errand" DIR. Anderson Is quot
ed by the Democrat, OF Rochester, as say
ing of Judge Tourgee's experiences In the
South: Zone night while sitting In his
house, he heard the approach of men on
horseback. and at once realizing the object
of their visit, he extinguished the lights,
barricaded the doors, and prepared for
fight lie had repeating rifle, and as the
Ku-Klux rode into the yard he fired at them
repeatedly. wounding two or three and
causing so much CONSERVATION that they
turned and rode away, leaving part OF their
DISCUSSES on the ground. When he felt
sure that they had gone, he turned up the
lamps and by their light saw his wife
standing white and motionless by his side,
clenching a revolver in each hand. She
understood well enough what the attack
meant. Her hair was then a dark brown.
When she awoke In the morning II was
gray.
