GENERAL AvERILL, an old friend of
Hancock, and regular army officer,
told reporter that the result in Maine
only showed that the people had taken
the campaign in their hands before the
politicians could drop to its Importance.
"Before we had organizations in New
York or any where in the country, " said
General Averill, ''there were hundreds
and thousands of Hancock Clubs. Han
cock is tho cheapest man the Democratic
leaders ever had to lead campaign"

Is not formidable victory" Meas

It cannot be measured by hgHres, at

which the "Quaker vote" has been
brought out by il in IIaHcock's be-
half, il may be possible TO measure
the Republican defeat in AIainc by
figures. What the people OF the
country al large are most Interested
in Is, not that n GreenbaelSer has
been elected Governor of Maine, but
that, in Republican State,in Pres

coNKLINc sconEs HAYES.

In his recent greatest effort OF his
life" in New York City, Roscoe Conk-
ling thus referred to Rutherford B.
Hayes "a candidate, if he be an
honest, genuine man, will not seek and
accept party nomination to the Presi-
dency, Vice Presidency, or Congress,
and after he is elected become law
unto himself Few things are more
despicable than fist to secure elevation
at the hands of party, and then in
the hope of winning pretentious non
partisan applause, to affect supe-
rior sanctity, and meanly to imply
that those whose support and confidence
were eagerly and deferentially sought
are wanting in purity, patriotism, or
some other title to respect"

'FLAxBRAKE" predicated all his argu-
fnent on the question as to whether it
would be good policy to turn the gov
ernment over to the Democratic party
on the fact that Arkansas had -repu-
dated her State debt. The facts in the
case are that Arkansas has not repudi-
ated her debt, but voted down that
measure by a large majority The teIe-
graph reported that it had, and we never
knew better until Eastern papers ar
rived last week. Williams will make
nothing by uttering such faIsehoodg.

WILLIAMS made the statement IN his
speech the other evening that if you
would "take from the Democratic party
the inhabitants of the slums and pur-
}ieus of the cities the Republican party
would have a majority that would put
to shame the Democratic majority in
the South" This vicious statement
seemed to take with the audience and
was cheeFed more than any other.
Knowing that Mr.. Williams was pre-
vented from becoming Chief Justice of
the United States by his own party on.

keep from mentally comparing him with
the Pharisee mentioned in the Bible
who thanked God that he was not as

In which he said of Garfield "IIe
began on the lowest level" This is
not true. Doing farm chores, chop
ping wood and driving mules are Ia
borious and ill-paid employments /;
but, Mt least, they are honest ones.
The boy Garfield was on much
higher level when he was earning
his bread on the tow-path than when
as Congressman Garfield, he pocketed
bribes, and on being found out sought
to escape by telling lies.
