shall be so, DEAR" replied the husband,
claspihg her to his breast; and then NOV
ing nearer the light, he read over the va
rlous small sums in which the deposits
had been made from time to time, for
the last ten years. For another hour
they sat by the fire and laid plans for the
future, and then the husband sought his
pillow, resolving that ere another month
should pass, he would leave the crowded
city, and let his children breathe the
pure air of the country.
After Mrs. Pason was left alone in the
little parlor, she placed the irons on the
fire, then went to little closet close by
and brought to the table the little worn
bonnets belonging to the children. In a
short time the ribbons were removed and
smoothed, and the bonnets re-trimmed
for the morrow's wear; and various little
rips were sewed in Charley's best cap,
and the tassel combed smooth, that he
might the better Withstand the morrow's
disappointment in not having the prom-
ised new one.
Scarcely had the sun risen when Mrs.
Pason slid gently from her pillow, and
went into her neat little carpeted kitch-
en-, and began to prepare the morning
meal; but hardly had the heat from the
little stove driven out the bitter cold,
and thawed the frost from the window
panes, when light footsteps were heard
approaching, and in another moment the
mother received kiss from each Of her
children.

THE NEWS r. MAINE,

Yesterday the wire was halting and uDcer-
tain in it's claim of a republican victory in
Maine; to-day it comes like an unwilling,
half rebellious penitent to the confessional
and acknowledges al overwhelming repub-
lican defeat and it is safe to say the half has
not yet been told. From what we have al
ready experienced of the republican c%oloring
given the associated press dispatches, we may
safely claim the ~fusionist victory as much
more decisive than that indicated by the press
report. The first, fourth and fifth congress
sional districts may with tolerable certainty
be augmented by the third, Plaisted is most
likely elected governor, and very grave doubts
of the statement that the legislature is secure
for the republicans may properly be enter
tanned. But even as conceded the victory is
one of the very greatest Importance, and all
the more so because Maine is a state which
carry. The labors of the National Demo-
cratic Central Committee h ave been expended
upon the states of New York, New Jersey,
Indiana and Connecticut-states almost GER
tain to 60 democratic but which nevertheless
are not left to fate in a too sanguine ~trust-to.
luck policy, but are rather to be made the
arena of an enthusiastic and earnest campaign
to render their redemption all the more posi-.
tive and secure. Ohio is also to be a battle
ground, but more for the purpose of reducing
former republican majorities than ia any wei
founded hopes of actually carrying the state
although such an issue to the October cam
paign is by no means to be classed among the
impossibilities. But Maine was conceded t.

In their convention at Helena if our re-
publican friends had made their nominations
thus: 'For president. r. o. Hickman-for
vice presidents, all the balance of the party
it might have saved some time and trouble,
and would most assuredly have amounted to
the same thing in the end. To judge. though,
from the amount of form and ceremony gone
through with at that convention, one would
almost expect that the republicans actually
expect to elect somebody. They will be
kindly undeceived and convinced of tier
mistaken judgment early in November. The
campaign will open after a while, and then
it will be proper to consider those republican
nominations from head to tail. that is, if II
is worth while wasting ammunition on deal

A CAMPAIGN SECRET.

1t Is to be regretted that Colonel Sanders.
the republican nominee for delegate to con.
gress, has been rather too unreserved in the
bestoval of confidence regarding his plans
and purposes in the campaign. Previous to
his departure to the east a couple of months
ago, he confided to his political cronles a Sc
cret which has since leaked out and is as fol-
lows: Upon arriving in the east the doughty
colonel was to take a calm survey Of the po-
litical field and make as close an estimate as
possible of Garfield's chances of election. If
the Garfield prospect looked at all favorable
then Colonel Sanders was not to return to
Montana, but instead would enter actively
into the campaign by taking the stump in the
doubtful New England states, hoping thereby
to merit a diplomatic position as U. S. min
lister to Liberia, or as Envoy Extraordinary
to Madagascar in case the DeGolyer hero
should be elected. But if Hancock stock
were found to be above par then Colonel
Sanders was to return at once to Montana to
lead the Montana republicans in the desper-
ately torlorn hope of an aggressive campaign
the only hope left him in view of the certain
retirement of his party. Sure enough, the
gallant Colonel has returned; the nomina-
ton has been conferred upon him, and he is
now nerving his muscular person for almost
as desperate a charge as that which took place
at Bannack one night about seventeen years
ago, OH an OCCASION when the same distin-
guished military gentleman was to have ssrv-
ed as a leader--but didn't. Before he gets
through with this campaign Colonel Wilbur
F. will be quite as "sick" as he was that night
when. a little danger becoming visible, he be-
came suddenly indisposed, and the amlable
vigilantes were left without a leader. But to
return to the original subject. What we have
said about Sanders return to Montana III
case Garteld's chances were found to be des.
perate is given on authority of one of the
high priests of the republican party, a gentle
man whose name shall take pleasure in pre-
senting should the statement be disputed.

Sanders would no more be capable OF con-
trolling the unruly member than he has been
able to subdue it in the Montana legislature,
and the consequence would be that in the
larger arena he would make as many DEVOTED
personal enemies as he has in the smaller.
Such enmities would reach beyond the Of
fender to the constituency he represents, and
with Sanders in congress Montana would
very speedily experience a marked diminu-
ton of the appropriations n other advanta-
ges which in the past have been won by the
persistent, intelligent effort aided by the con-
ciliatory, gentlenanly address of Major Ma
ginnis. Through every consideration, per-
sonal as well as political, Wilbur F.. Sanders
is not a fit and proper person to represent
Montana in congress.

How Eie Was Once by a Church
for Holding Slaves,
From the Boston Herald

From the Boston Herald
Hon. Horace Maynard, the new postmaster
general, when a young man, united in MEM
oership with the Orthodox church in his ma
tive town OF Westboro, Mass. After yradu-
ating at Amherst, and devoting some time to
the study OF law, he married and removed to
Knoxville, Tenn, which has ever since been
considered his place of residence. Soon after
his removal he withdrew from the Westboro
church and transferred his connection to a
church in knuAville, but for year, after.
during his frequent visits to his early home,
II a Sunday were passed there, he usually
attended church, and, if it happened to be
Sunday, he remained to partici-
pate III the memorial service. About the time
the anti-slaVery agitation waXed violent here
IN the north the members OF the Westboro
church passed a vote p-ecluding any person
who held slaves from unit ny with them in
the service OF communion; as Mr.. Maynard
was the only Shareholder among the regular
or occasional attendants, there could he no
DOUBT us to whom this action referred, and.
although! during his subsequent visits he oc-
casionally attended regular services, he never
again showed an inclination to tarrv at the
communion service. While Mr.. MAYNARD
never referred to the matter, many of his
friends we'll knew that he was not Indifferent
to the action of the church, and that he was
hurt oy slch a deliberate and formal act of
censure and prescription. During a has,y Wis.
it TO Westboro in the ealy days Of the rebel
lion, Mr.. Maynard was invited to sneak at a
"war meeting" held in the town hall. and ac.
ceptlng the invitation, there was witnessed tho
anomalous spectacle of a slave holder address
sing @cceptably an assembly that cheered the
patrlotlc volunteers who went forward to EN-
roll thelf names as warriors to contend on the
held OF battle with the forces of the south.
Ihe house in which was born, in 1914. the
present Z 'stmaster General of the Tinted
States, stands about one mile west of the vii
lage OF Westboro, on a broad turning from
the main thoroughiare to Northboro. His
father has been dead many wears. and his
mother died soon after her son was appointed
Minister TO Turkey. One of his two sisters
with her husband, occupies the unpretentions
farmhouse, now the property of Mr.. Nav
nard, and he has said that money shall ny,
buy the place during his life. When visiting
his old home the Postmaster General eninvs

he republicans, as the democrats considered

the republicans, as the democrats considered
it inexpedient to make all open demonstra.
ton wtt~s defeat was to be expected. Thai
free lance, Ben Butler, took it upon himself
to enter the lists in Maine in the f~usionisl
cause, and the result shows what a powel
Butler is in his influence upon the New Eng.
land masses. Of the man himself we may
not entertain a very exalted opinion, but OF
Butler as a political opponent only one opin.
ion can be entertained, and those of the re-
publicans who considered his raenlistment
in the ranks of the democracy as the threat
of a most serious peril to their own party, are
shown to have been correct in their estimate
of his strength and Influence. But the
speeches of Butler would not have made such
willing converts If the people of the old re.
publican state of Maine had not been eager
for a change. They are tired Of the old order
of things; tired of the one man power of Jim
Blaine tired of maintaining in power a
party whose strongest claim for support is
made in a never-ceasing appeal to the dead
issues of a dead past. Above all they are
tired Of having 1t dinned into their ears that
the people of the United States are not capa-
BILE of self government; which is in fact
what is asserted when it is claimed that a
majority of the people cannot be trusted to
administer the government, let that majority
come from where it will. The republicans
would convince us that the change of power
from one party to another can no longer be
made with safety in the United States; that
practically there is but one party the demo-
Gratis deserving rather to be classed as an Or
ganized band If criminals rather than an
ASSOCIATION of citizens bound together by their
belief in certain political doctrines, which
doctrines they are anxious to have us accept
and apply in lieu Of those now employed by
the republicans in administering the affairs of
the country. But the longer a party remains
in power the more firmly it becomes in
trenched, and the more difficult it becomes
for the popular will to make itself felt and
obeyed. One party continually in power
means little or no improvement in political
methods, it means a dreary statu quo, a ma
standing still, as far as improvements
in the science of government are concerned.
The people of Maine by defeating the old
party Of their choice have passed judgment OH
those points. BY their votes they show that
are deslrous of a change and that they
think the democrats may safely be trusted.
They do not believe the least danger will be
in placing the democrats in power,
but even were it otherwise they would rather
face that danger at once and have done with
it, than longer submit to the old order of
