The NCnmnt Ont.o

There was no choice by the people. Then
followed the count out, so called, and the
exciting times of the winter of 1879 and
1880. Persons appeared in both branches
of the Legislature holding certificates OF
election from the Governor and Council,
who, according to subsequent opinions
of the Supreme Court were not duly elected,
and the seats of these persons were given
to men who did not hold certificates from
the Governor and Council but who from
the returns appeared to be duly elected.
In consequence of this trouble, which nearly
involved the State in open war, there was
no legal organization effected until January
18th seven DAYS after the constitutional day
of meeting. There was no choice by the
people and Daniel F. Davis was elected
Governor by the Legislature.
The Fusfonists.
In the election of, 1880 the Democrats
and Greenhsekers combined'and were known
as the fusion party. The Republicans en-
tered this campaign with the assertion that
by the so-cslled 'count-out' the Democratic
and Greenback leaders had committed a
crime against the state, and they called up
on the people for vindication. One of the
most exciting and bitter political contests in
the history of the state followed, and the
vote-l47 ,S02-was the largest ever cast
in Maine, gain Of 1896 over the proceed
ing year 1t was divided as follows:

ADemocratic Governor.

There was no choice by the people, and
Garcelon was elected by the Legislature.
The year 1878 was an important one in
Maine politics. The election showed that
the people had broken away from the rule
of the old party politicians, and also that
the Greenback party held the balance Of

W. C. Il. U.
A Forward Movement. Organized
Francis Murphy and His Son In
vited for a Series of Meet
ings in September.

1t is fact not to be disputed that st. Panl
is making grand progress in all material
features, but along with this comes the cur
rent report that conyivial life is also acceler-
ated, and that to meet its demands there has
been established i'll the city the present sum-
mer forty additional saloons.
There are expressions on all sides of con-
Germ and increased apprehension at the
marked increase, especially among young
men, of habits of moderate indulgence, low
ering the tone ana jeopardizing the promise
of the manhood and exposing them morally
and physically to added temptations.
1t seems the urgent duty and interest of
every Christian philanthropist and good citi-
zen to consider whether something cannot
be done for the safety of the young, if but
little is possible for the rescue Of those more
confirmed in these habits.
At the last meeting of w. c. T, o., it was
resolved, with the advice and concurrence of
various pastors and laymen of our city, to
invite Mr.. Francis Murphy the well known
temperance speaker, and his son, who have
worked together so successfully in many
eastern cities, to visit St. Paul.
Meetings will be held every evening i'll
some commodious room through the first
week in September.
1t is hoped that other acceptable speakers
will be secured to follow Mr.. Murphy, and
that his coming may initiate a time of great
progress in public sentiment as well as be
a personal help and encouragement to
many.

Critical Illness of John Grace.

The citizens of st. Paul and Ramsey
county, and a large acquaintance in the
state, will be panied to learn that ex-Sheriff
John Grace, who has been suffering from an
abscess in the side for the past year, which
has been followed by a complication of other
diseases, yesterday noon sank into a coma
tose state. , At midnight it became evident
that dissolution had set in, and it is more
that probable when this article meets the
eye Of the reader still another of our older
and long resident citizens has been added to
the list of the gone before.
Early last spring Mr.. Grace and his esti.
mable wife, accompanied by nephew,
sought the Hot Springs in Arkansas for the
formers health, but receiving no benefit
they returned home after few weeks Since
that time he has been gradually failing, when
on Saturday, July 10, his wife, after a short
illness, suddenly deceased, since which he
has sunk very rapidly, being for the most
time mentally incapdcitated and thoroughly
crushed by his illness and this last and unex-
pected affection.
Sheriff Grace came from Pittsfeld. Mass,
to st. Paul twenty-six years ago, and was a
carpenter by trade, a man Of rare mental
worth, business and social qualities and has
made for himself in his official capacities, as
citizen, the worthy place as a courteous,
kindly honest and charitable man to all who
had his acquaintance. For six years he
served as deputy under Sheriff ID. A. Rob-
ertson, whom he succeeded In Office, filing
the position Of sheriff for three terms or six
years. Since that time he has not been en-
gagged in active pursuits having acquired q
competency in business aud early transact
tons In real estate and retired thereon.
Mr.. Grace is sixty years of age and the
death Of his wife, SO beloved by himself and
community, left bin without an immediate
family, they being childless. He was next
the eldest Of five brothers, early making ST..
Paul their home, Of whom is Alderman
Thomas Grace representing the Third ward
in that capacity for many years.

the sense of right and Justice of the people,
we may well look for a Democratic triumph
like that which characterised the ferocious
campaign of 1928.
The Democratic party has never intro
duced such elements into campaign, as the
Republicans are now bringing forward, to
blight, and blacken, and blast, and destroy
and defeat Governor Cleveland. But what is
meant for a deadly blow will be in operative.
bitter contest when Henry Clay ran for the.
Presidency as the candidate of the old Wing
party, the alleged gallantries of that promi-
nent statesman were passed by in silence
He was opposed on other, and legitimate
political grounds, and was defeated.
But equal forbearance may not always be
practiced. The corrupt old party, having
opened the sluices of wrath, and calumny
may be compelled to drink at bitter foun-
tain. The Democracy if forced to it, can,
and. WILL inscribe ''ier taionss, ION its ban
ners; an. eyeGfor an eye and tooth for
tooth. The law of retaliation is not only not
always Objectionable, but sometimes impera-
lively demanded by just regard for the
right. 1t is for the pure alone, to cast the
first stone, and for the impure to go out
abashed conscious of their own iniquity.
If this style of campaign, which has been
inaugurated at Buffalo, and which is receiv-
ing the sanction of the Republican press, is
to go on, let the ssPlumed Knight be look
ing out cautiously from his own glass house,
lest jingling masses may rattle about his own
head. Let him call off his sleuth hounds, or
they may turn and rend him. If driven to
the wall and made necessary, rehearsal of
the unsavory personal indiscretions of the Re-
publican nominee, will cause the sensitive
and virtuous ''Cousin GAIL" to blush, if it
does not blanch the hardened physiognomies
OF his lying cohorts
Meanwhile, let the reader be assured that
these Buffalo calumnies will be, fully ex-
ploded. But they have been deliberately
started on their travels for the campaign and
it need not be expected that they will be re-
tracted. All know the outcome of the
proverb of lie we'll stuck to- If the Repub-
lican party, despairing of all other tactics,
have inaugurated this salacious element for
tne campaign Lney can nave retaIiatory re-
prisals to their hearts content. If they want
in this direction not only war to the knife,
but the knife to the hilt, they can be accom-
modated.
In their expiring furry and frantic spasms
to retain their clutch on sharnefully abused
power, the ''grand old party is developing
disgraceful and disgusting tactics, and by so
doing only add to the accumulated dishoner
of their organization by thus resorting to the
inscriptions PRONUNCIATION of lying and

ATHLETIC EXHIBITION
III Which Louis Liverpool Furnished
all the Fun.

LII Which Louis Liverpool Furnished
ali the Fun.
A fair audience assembled at Market hall
last night, to witness the athletic entertain-
ment for the benefit of Mr.. E. A. La Dow
The audience was light but it boiled over to
such an extent as to warrant the supposition
that number of hamfatters had been al
lowed free admission to furnish the applause
and work up the enthusiasm.
The sport opened with sparring match
between Prof. Barnes, of st. Paul, and Frank
Lewis of Minneapolis. Both men got in
some lace work, and at the end of the third
round, it was declared n draw
The next event was sparring match be-
tween Thos. Jefferson and man named
Butts, the latter being knocked out easily.
After good deal of chin music Louis
Liverpool and Prof. Barnes were induced to
give sparring match, and The way Louis
was knocked out of time, proved picnic for
the audience This bout resulted in a barrel
of fun for the audience, Louis quitting the
little stage the worst for wear
Jack Fay and Mr.. Weber then tackled the
gloves but their efforts fell short of the mark
and they didn't raise rifle of applause
Prof lie Dow and Prof. Caldwell followed
with a sparring match and the audience went
to sleep.
The racket concluded with a rather tame
set-to between Patsey Melen and Mr.. Keogh,
after which the audience adjourned.

Spouse. Mr.. Surgeons narrative is that
some two years ago poor woman accompa-
MED by two of her neighbors, came to his
vestry in deep distress. Her hus-
band had fed the country: in her sorrow she
went to the house of God, and something
said in the sermon made her think Mr. Spur
geon was personally familiar with her case.
But Mr.. Sturgeon says, he had known
nothing about her. 1t was general illus
tration that filed a particular case. The
poor woman told him her story, and very
sad one it was. At its conclusion the divine
said. ''There is nothing we can do but to
kneel down and cry to the Lord for the
immediate conversion of your husband"
We knelt down, and / prayed that the Lord
would touch the heart of the deserter, con-
vert his soul, and bring him back to his home.
When We rose from our knees I said to the
poor woman. "Do not fret about the matter.
l feel sure your husband will come home;
and that he will yet become connected with
our church, She went away, and forgot
all about it. Six months aftershe reappeared

we found that the very day on which we had
prayed for his conversion, he, being at that
time on board a ship far away on the sea,
stumbled most unexpectedly upon stray
copy of one of my sermons. He read it.
The truth went to his heart. He repented
and sought the Lord, and as soon as possible
he returned to his wife and to his daily call
ing. He was admitted member, and last
Monday his wife, who up to that time had not
been member, was also received among us.
That woman does not doubt the power Of
