Did Longfellow Write Two Poems
on Lovewelrs Fight2
FRYEBURa. Aug. IA

To the Editor Of the Press:
In YOUR notice of The Illustrated Fryeburg
Memorial you express the opinion that Mr..
Longfellow wrote two poems upon Lovewell's
Fight l am aware that this opinion prevails
quite extensively, and yet, after considerable
investigation, am of the opinion it has no
foundation in fact. Several parties have
made thorough search through the papers and
magazines to which Mr.. Longfellow contribut-
ed In early life and they only find the poem
published in the Fryeburg Memorial. The
poet was then in college, and was but eighteen
wears of age He wrote this poem for the Gen.
tennial Celebration of the famous fight which
occurred here in 1926. Mr. Longfellow was
himself present at the celebration and partici-
pated in the festivities of that occasion. The
publishers of the Memorial do n say that it
was the first poem Mr.. Longfellow wrote or
published, but the first one he gave to the
world a0itb his name attached. / think the
critic in error when he says it was signed "H."
have letter before me from well known
literary Trend of the poet who says Mr.. Long
felloao told him htS name a0dS signed to the po
en- You say sit appeared in print upon
Thanksgiving Day, which fell that year upon
the anniversary of the battle" I am not
aware that Thanksgiving ever fell upon the
month of MAY, the time on which the anniver-
sary occurred. Until there is more tangible
evidence than / have yet seen L shall continue
to believe that "Ihe Memorial contains the
only poem Mr.. Longfellow ever wrote upon
"Lovewell's Fight" A. f. LEWIS.
The reviewer can orly repeat the statement
already made in the columns of the PRESS up
on the authority of a member of Mr.. Longfel-
low immediate family, that he wrote two po-
ems upon the subject of Lovewell's Fight, the
earlier of which was merely signed with his
initial oh" The testimony of the many per-
sons who claim to have been honored with the
friendship of the poet and competent to give
details of his biography, is greatly to be dis
trusted, unless it is supported by that of Mr..
Longfellow's family. The authority to whom
the reviewer is kindly permitted to refer, says
that some remembered circumstances fix the
date of the first poem upon LovewelPs Fight
as appearing in print upon Thanksgiving Day
or the day after, Of the year 1923 or 4, most
probably the former. As to the suggestion
that the Puritan festival is not usually ap-
pointed for the month of May-the reviewer
admits that q misapprehension and neglect to
verify the date of the battle caused SO absurd
mistakes which does not, however, affect the
entire accuracy of the points made by the re-

A Party in the Market.

Since the detection OF the Bangor Messenger
the Commercial pours out its vials of wrath
Just as was expected, and accuses the boiling
organ of being bought. Thismay be true for all
we care, but we do know that the purchase il
purchase there was, was not made by Republi'
cans nor with Republican funds; the course OF

Fusion or Democratic is something that they
must settle among themselves, but we espect-
fully submit that if the case is as the CONNER.
cial asserts, party is in pretty hard shedding
when it has to buy its organs to support its can
didates. We don't know about the Messenger
or any trade that has been made, but 1t would
seem to an outsider that the most natural
thing for Greenback paper to do was TO support
Greepback candidates, and we did not suppose
that the straight Greenbackers had much mon
ev for any kind of purchase. But there
comes to us from Bangor pretty well authen-
ticated story that another paper in that city,
assnredly is what the Commercial calls the
Messenger "a nondescript concern, the Free
holdar with precarious circulation of some
400 comics. was considered OF sufficient value to
warrant the outlay of about $4,000 in order to
nroong its life till the close of the campaign
and prevent it's transfer to the straight outs,
and that the money being paid by the Fusion
Congressional candidate the Editor of the
Freeholdar withdrew all his bets against the
election of Mr.. Ladd and ceased his quotations
from Them Steers.
We do not think that even Fusion editor
ought to be called upon to sacrlnce his oonvic-
tioIs without a consideration, and we are in
clined to believe that in this case the Messen-
ger has stuck to its oN without hope OF fee or
reward, and in spite Of temptations to the con-

Ladd bay the asrong pdper'

A Fusion Fancy Dispelled.

The following paragraph is taken from al
articles in the Argus, purporting to come from
an Augusta correspondent, and was copied in
to the Commercial:
.sNow, as to DR.. Thompson. whom the Governor
h IS sought drive from the position he fills to the
entire satisfaction of the people,. DR.. Thompson IL
trustee 4 the Reform School, and Gov. Plsistec
nominated man living in Portland for trustee IL
/ is p ace-Mr. Little, Republican. The Governor
is not in love with Dr. Thompson's ideas as to the
management OF the Reform school. He thinks the
doctor regards the institution as State prison fol
boys. At any rate the doctor procured the arres
in Boston of enc of the boys fourteen years OF age
and applied to Governor flasted for requisitioI
upon the Governor of Massachusetts for the extra
dition of the boy on the ground that he was fugi
tive from Justice The boy had been committed tC
the institution four years before at the age of ten
for stealing two quarts of peasl The Governor die
net think un er the circumstances that it would be
any advantage to the discipline of the institution
the ground upon which the requisition was asked
to take the boy from his parents and return him tC
the Reform School in irons and thus make every
boy in the institution feel and realize that he
convict"
Dr. Thompson is one of the trustees of the
Reform School. We have authority for saying
he did not procure the arrest of one OF the
boys in Boston. He knew nothing about it un.
til he was requested by the resident trustees to
see the Governor, as he was the nearest to his
home, and apply for a requisition for his re-
turn. He did SO, and the Governor refused to
grant the request. Inc boy afterwards re-
turned voluntarily to the school, and at the
May meeting of the trustees was honorably
discharged by unanimous vote. So much for
the Doctors desire to have him returned In
irons. If there was any injustice in commit.
ting the boy during his minority for trivial
offense the blame must be on the Municipal
Court of Portland. 1t seems that the Augusta
correspondent of the Argus, if not entirely a
myth, must have drawn largely on his imagin-
alton Had the Argus wished to ascertain to c
facts in th-, case, they could easily have been
obtained of Mr.. Donahus, the trustee resident
of Portland. But how could Fusionism thrive
with such dangerous things as facts!

THE Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution for "pru-

will not be able to make the South solid in
1884, but will be able to secure 13S OF its
153 votes. This being the case, the North
ern States must furnish 68 votes to bring
the Democratic party into power in 1854.
1t thinks that California, Indiana, Nevada,
New York and New Jersey, having II votes,
may insure a Democratic victory. Those

A Significant Concession,

Charles A. White, who was State Treasurer
of Maine during Garcelon's governorship, and
formerly chairman of the Greenback State
committee, told Journal reporter, one day
this week, that he conceded the election of Ro-
bic in September by 5000 majority. Mr..
White said he had told Gov Plaisted that he
could not be reelected. Mr.. White signif-
cantly mentioned that Gen. Anderson would
not have declined the nomination for Congress
if he had had the least idea the Fusion cause
could succeed. Our readers will remember
that Mr.. White, in a letter, declined to be q
candidate for the Fusion Congressional noninA

THE rapid destruction of our forests has
become matter of National, or, we may
say, international concern. The American
Forestry Association has for its object the
checking of this wholesale annihliation by
devising methods for the preservation of ex-
isting forests and the propagation of others.
The annual congress of this association
opened at Montreal, yesterday. The Hon.
George B. Loring, United States Commits
sioner of Agriculture, is president of the
congress, and the Governments of Ontario
and Quebec have appointed special represen-
tatives to attend the meetings of the con-
gress. The Canadian and many American
railroads offer special rates to delegates, and
large attendance from bosh countries is
anticipated. The protection of forests from
fires, roadside planting in country and town,
fruit tree cultivation, and the best methods
of working timber land in the interests of
the holders, of the public, and of the reve-
nue., are among the questions assigned for
discussion at this congress.

the departments. While we have no fixed

that there is no general recognition and pro-

Another Revolt.

A fresh revolt against Plaisted and the
machine is reported in our telegraphic col
| umns. Judge Washington Gilbert and Mr..
Sewall Golf renounce Plaisted and all his
works and declare for straight Greenback-
ism. The reason for their action is evident;
they have again caught the Governor with
cream on his whiskers. The evidence that
he is trying to lead the Greenbackers into
the Democratic camp is cumulative and no
longer open to dispute.
Of the quarrel between Plaisted and his
quondam supporters the PRESS is curious
and amused observer. 1t has known that
the affair would come to this complexion at
last. He has deserted the Greenbackers as
he deserted the Republicans, as he will de-
sert the Democrats when he can no longer
use them. Governor Plasted is opposed to
any machine unless he stands at its crank.
He is now doing what we long ago predicted
he would do; and, in view of the action of
the prominent Greenbackers above men
TONED we take great satisfaction in repeat
ing the tantalizing remark, "We told you
So" 1t will not be long before we shall
have the pleasure of offering like comfort to
the Democrats. Plaisted is sure, sooner or
later, to betray any party or any man with
whom he is associated.
BOSTON Advertiser: The Maine canvass
excites a general interest, but none more
than it deserves, for far more than local
considerations are involved. The outlook
for the Republicans is encouraging. The
sober study of the strength of the opposition,
and the faithful work for the purpose of
bringing out the full vote of the party, make
the methods of the Republicans less exhila-
rating but more effective than those former
ly in vogue. Nothing is taken fer granted
now, while the presumption used to be that
the election would come out all right. Ru
mors of apathy and changes are current
this year and are circulated by both parties.
These are sometimes exaggerations. There
is, however, no doubt that the old-line DEM
ocrats are not happy over the distribution
of nominations, for the Greenbackers get
the lions share. A Republican paper is au-
thority for the statement that leading
Democrat, who is disgusted with the Fusion
arrangements, reports much ''stay-at-home
sentiment among his party friends. The
Republicans are expecting success for three
reasons: Chiefly because full Republican
vote is to be thrown, but also since Solon
Chase is to break the Greenbacker ranks
and the staunch and self-respecting Demo-
Gratis are in doubtful frame of mind. But
a supposed weakening of the enemy will be
no excuse for indifference or absence from
the polls. The Republicans undoubtedly
have large contract on their hands, but it
can be fulfilled by resolute attention to
the business in hand.
