~ remember how the news came in from
Maine four years ago at the State election, said
| Governor Porter to the Journal reporter "All
eyes, then, as now, were turned to Maine and
when the returns came in the news was very de-
pressing. Col Wolfe and myself were stumping
the State. We were in northern Indiana, and
were to speak in the afternoon of the day the
came. 1t was soon after breakfast, and it made
us both feel dismal enough, as we feared the eff
feet upon Indiana. Neither of US cared then to
face the farmers who were coming into town,
and before the handshaking began we slipped
of to the woods to talk over the situation. It
took as some time to muster courage to return
but we finally did come back and went through
our meeting with tolerable success.

ing experience to fight against
