A Proud Day for Chandler.

William L. Chandler has had his share
of success in life and been part of some
little national history but he probably
never had more enjoyable half
hour than when he stood on Friday, with
all New Hampshire looking on, in the
solitary seaport Of his state, rs the head of
the navy, or wi at there is left OF it.
Philadelphia Press.
Whatever success William +. Chand
Ter has achieved has been after the
manner OF knaves, and no honest man
either enyies or emulates him. As for
his part in national history there is not
a line in a single leaf OF any chapter
which is not disgraceful to himself and
to the country or form Of government
where such part could be played. But
this is too much in the nature of an
axiom to require to be written about.
That he enjoyed half hour out in the
harbor at Portsmouth mt the head Of the
navy composed Of two vessels brought
from England, another presented by her
tor this Arctic service, another hired
and his own private government yacht,
cannot be successfully questioned. With
the exception Of Robeson, no man has
done more than he to make the American
navy the butt of ridcule in every land or
to reduce 1t to the contemplate position
in which he stood ut its head. 1t was
surely scene to stir this mans pride.
But Chandler had other occasions for
JOY than his personal pride in this de
struction Of a navy and in having helped
10 use the money for base purposes.
From the haIbor in Portsmouth he could
look far up the coast, and away inland
and behold the scenes of his triumph
where, In 1882, he colonized voters for
the kittery navy yard in readiness for
the september election. Turning half
around he could cast his eyes over the
bleak and rocky coast of New Hampshire
back to the towns and villages where
during the same year, he had, with equal
zeal and industry, colonized voters 70,
the November election III the Granite
state.
Not less pronounced could be his 10,
over his ability to turn his eyes to eithe,
state with the knowledge and assuranc,
that 10 all that fair prospect no man hat
furnished the money and directions fol
brlbing 80 many votes as he. All T! yes
1t must have been a proud day for The
man whose whole political career is a
succession of yillainies and whose private
fortune is their logical result.
