the REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE.

Mr.. Charles j. Chapman, the Republican
candidate for Mayor, is native of Bethel,
the son Of the late Robert A. Chapman, and
is thirty-eight years of age He was grad
uated at Bowdoin College, in the class of
1868, and for some years subsequent resided
in Minneapolis, whittier he went to restore
his health. which had become impaired by
the confinement incident to the life Of a stu
dent. He came to Portland in 1871, and be-
came a member of the wholesale flour firm
of Norton, Chapman 81 Co., which
was thereafter composed of Edwin
A. Norton, Cullen c. Chapman and
himself. He retired from this firm
in 1877. AT present he is engaged in the
-four and grain business with Mr.. William j.
Dyer, with branch offices in Boston and New
York.
Mr.. Chapman has always been Republic
can. He was chairman of the Republican
CITY Committee in 1876, having previously
been on the committee from Ward 7. In
1872 he was elected member of the School
Committee. and served on the board for
three successive years. In 1877 he was
elected Councilman from Ward Z, and again
in 1878 and 1879, being president OF the
Council the last two years. liz 1880 and 1851
he was member of the Board OF Aldermen,
and in the latter year was president OF the
Board Since then he has held no public
office.
Mr.. Chapman is thoroughly identified WIN
the interests of Portland. His business ca
reer has made him conversant with the COM
mercial needs of the city, while his long ser
vice in the Council has familiariZed him with
the workings and the requirements of the va
rious departments of our municipal govern
ment. His executive ability, prudence, sagacl-
tyand sound judgment are attested by his sue
cessful conduct for many years past of a
large mercantile business, while his high
character is sufficient guarantee that all the
duties imposed upon him by the oath of Of
fee will be conscientiously and faithfully
performed.
To the Republicans OF Portland and to all
citizens.who have at heart the welfare of the
city we cordially commend Mr.. Chapman as
gentleman eminently worthy of their suf-
frages. His election will secure to the city
wise and clean administration. He will
take the Office without pledges Of any kind,
excepting what the law imposes upon him,
and will therefore be perfectly free to use
the large ability which he possesses to pro-
mote the interests of the whole people.

NEW PUBLICATIONS.

The History OF The Anti-Slavery Cause in
State and Nation. By Rev. Austin Wiley,
editor of Anti-Slavery Paper during the con-
1ict portland: Brown Thurston and Hoyt,
Fogg &c Donham) The Rev. Austin Wiley
is native of New Hampshire For sixteen
years he edited with signal ability the anti
slavery paper first conducted by the late Prof.
William Smyth of Bowdoin College. He was
one of the pioneers in the abolition move
ment in this State, and enjoyed the conf
denee of all the great leaders in the anti-sla-
very cause The prominent design OF this
work is to give history of the rise and
progress of the abolition movement in Maine,
audit admirably fulflls that purpose. The first
anti-slayery society in the State was formed
in Hallowell, Nov. IS, 1888, and the gentle
men chosen to prepare constitution and by
laws were Rev. G. Shepard, S. Dole, Il. ID.
Rice, p. Stickney and A. Allen. A call dat
ed August 49, 1884, for State convention to
form Maine Anti-Slavery Society, to be
held the third Wednesday of October in Au-
gusta, was sent over the State for signatures.
In October of that year George Thompson
the English abolitionist who had accom-
plished so much for the cause in Great Brit
ain, addressed crowded audiences at Port
land, Brunswick and Augusta, and public in
terest in the subject began to be aroused ;
and when the Augusta convention met there
was large attendance of prominent men.
An Anti-Slayery Society was formed and four
years later the society established The Advo-
cate of Freedom, ofwhich Mr.. Wiley became
editor the following year. Subsequently the
paper was removed to Augusta later to Halo
well and its name changed to The Liberty
Standard. In 1949 this paper was merged in
the Portland Inquirer, and Mr.. Wiley retired
from the editorship, only to resume it how
ever, year later. In 1856 the paper was
discontinued. Its work was done. The
breaking up Of political parties had begun,
and the Republican party had been formed.
The seeds sown by Mr.. Wiley and his coad-
tutors had begun to bear fruit. He has
lived to see the cause he championed COM
pletely triumphant, and now addresses,
through the pages of his book, a generation
which wonders that cause whose righteous
ness is so clear to-day but fifty years ago
should have been held in such detestation
that its advocates were ostracised by public
opinion, and frequently subjected to bodily
| harm by Infatuated mobs for their connection
with it. The book contains large number
of portraits of distinguished workers in the
anti-slayery cause, among them pictures OF
Samuel Fessenden, Rev. David Thurston, Gen
Neal Dow, DR.. o. B. Cheney and Rev. Adam
Wilson.

Senator ingalls, of the Judiciary committee
holds the opinion that if Presidents APP

the suspended officer resumes his former
place, but he can be at once suspended again
and the new appointee recommissioned
This cannot reflect the ideas of all the mem

Whatever may be thought Of the political
wanderings in general Of the editor of
Harper's Weekly, no one will deny the
soundness of his ideas on the rights Of the
Senate. In an interview recently printed in
the New York Herald, Mr.. Curtis said:
The Senate was part of the executive power.
The Constitution said that the President should
nominate, and, by and with the consent of the
Senate, appoint certain officers. AS part of the
executive power the Senate had the right to know
what influences, considerations and information
had decided the President in making n0mina-
ton Its action could not be thoroughly intelli-
gent unless it had such information. Mr.. Cleve-
actisn retroactive and in refusing to turn over

QUESTIONS FOR THE PRESIDENT
N Y World.
Would it not be much more prudent and
beneficial policy to adopt frank, trutn1ul
tone: to inform the Senate that Republicans
were suspended in order to do justice to
Democrats who had been, for twenty-four
wears oftracised and deprived of any share
IN The government, and in order further to
promote the cause of reform by bringing the
pnblic service nearer to a non-partisan basis?
Would If not be more democratic, more con-
dnciye to the public good, to admit that the
| former grand ideas of n-partisanship were
| found impossible of application to public
service solidly packed with active Republi-
can partisans, rewarded with office for their
political work, and from which the repre-
ssentatives of a majority of the American
people had been for nearly quarter of a
century excluded?

Strange Case Of Dr. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde.
By Robert Louis Stevenson. New York:
Charles Seribner's Sons; cortland: Hoyt,
Fogg & Donham.) Here is a remarkable
book. Once taken in hand it is not laid
down till it is finished. DR.. Jekyll is a
wealthy physician, hospitable and accom-
plished, with turn for metaphysical inves-
tigation. But he has gross vices, OF which
his most intimate friends are not aware. In
the course of his studies he becomes con-
WINGED of the dual nature of man, and con-
ceiveS the idea that, by chemical process one
may wholly eliminate the good moral char
acteristics, leaving all the wicked and vicious
tendencies in full possession of him; and
may then, by further chemical action, be re-
stored to his original self. His experiment
is successful, and his compound metamor-
phoses his body as well, so that it becomes
shrunken and repulsiye-a fit abode for
soul utterly depraved. As Mr.. Hyde (his
alter ilIe) he plunges into the lowest depths
of RIGHTEOUSNESS and crime: the next day he
is the genial Dr. Jekyll and defies Identified
ton. But, as time goes on, he finds it more
and more difficult to restore himself; and
finally, to his horror, discovers that he is
unable to duplicate certain salt essential to
his hellish mixture; and AIR. Hyde he must
remain. Concealmcnt being now impossible
he puts an end to both of him by Prussic
acid. It must be understood that nothing is
revealed of this double parsonage until after
the suicide; but the two individuals are
shrouded in mystery. The book is widely
different from either Poe or Hawthorne, but
suggests them both. The reader is not
aware of the terrible moral lesson conveyed
until he has turned the last page, when the
hideous possibilities to one who yields HIM
self up to temptation and let's loose into riot
the bad passions of his imperfect and strug-
Cling nature are laid bare before him. I'm
possible in fact as the story is, it is yet the
most forciblc sermon we have heard or read
in many a day; and it has the advantage
that no one will sleep overit, nor will any,
one forget it.
