Patriot and Partisan.

\. Y. Press.
It was Cardinal Wolsey, fallen from .
princes avors, who in the h0ur Of dissolu-
ton bitterly exclaimed IF had served
my God as / have served my king, lie would
not now have deserted me. # Allen G..
Thurman had served his country as he has
served his party, how different would be the
feeling Of his counirymen for him in the
DAYS Of his misfortune and decline. If he
had boea more of an American and less of
a n OLD Roman. history would accord a LOFT
Ter niche in the temple Of fame.
As an American patriot he might have
borne a very honorable part in the triumphs
Of his country and his countrymen but he
chose his course and his career placed him
in autagonism with all tina; was heroic, gen
erous and great in the aspirations of his
country for more than thirty years. He was
a splendid figure, and is yet q magnificent
ruin. lie was a man Of lofty character, OF
liberal learning. Of tremendous power. Bot
in The days Of his strength he was a Virgin
ian merely, and in the days Of his decline he
was an Old Roman.
"out Of the abundance Of the heart the
mouth speake,h." out Of the p~lenhtnde OF
American charity and magnanimi;y arises
abundant pity forthe grand old man sbund-
ant pity, with a sprinkling OF affection but
the feeling that touclses the American heart
is not that generous mingling of melancholy
aud admiration that goes forth FOR a man
like Sheridan OF Grant or Garfield. Sheri-
dams exit from human life was gilded in a
blaze OF glory, and deaths terrors we're as
suaged by the well grounded confidence that
he died deserving the esteem, the admiration
and the love OF bis compatriots. With the
Old Roman it is different. 4 Democrat
merely, a partisan Of a splendid type, who
devoted to a bad cause the glorious powers,
gihs and graces which were intended by his
Creator Tor the service Of mankind.
And such Is human life such, if You
please, the heartiessness Of party, the pro-
verbal ingratitude Of republics, that the
same power which in bis strength he served
and slori6ed: the same power which denied
TO him the honors which his services and
devotion deserved. now chains him. in the
twilight Of LIES evening, to the wheels Of
its chariot and draSs him. %isin,ing. into the
public gaze. SO hat the sight Of the suffering
old man may awaken enthusiasm FOR de-
cliuine cause. But the h~eartless experiment
Las ANONYMOUSLY failed. The chariot and

pity for the venerable Roman and contempt

TIM ahdsyits d five rue and lawful
citizens Of indianapolis depose Edward
Gould from his temporary occupancy Of
the position Of grand exalted liar 10 the
Democracy Of Indiana. Everybody who
read Gouid's charge that General Harm
son lad said conc dollar is enough FOR a
workmann knew bat Gould led Only
a very malicious fool could have been
guilty Of such an u~tterauce, and it is well
known that General Harrison is neither
a malicious person nor a fool. But it was
no: known that Gould himself had de-
MED the truth Of the charge before he
circulated It until the alidayits Of the
Eve gentlemen we're published. Mr.
Gould has proven himself 80 indiscreet
in falsehood as to merit degradation from
grand exalted to grand superauous liar
for the Democracy Of his State. A su-
perauous liar is not paid for his services
and therein will be Gould's punishment.
A useless lie is not worth a fourth-class
po~stmastership.
II should be said in this connection
that M Gould's ISLANDERS have been cir
cuiated ia the form Of letters to labor and
agricultural papers, and have been made
much Of by Democratic speakers. These
letter. have been kept out Of the leading
Democratic dailies, however, for reasons
not hard to guess.

Have You Heard The News From
Maine %

Have You Heard The News From
Maine ?"
* 1870, that was the question after
the eleelion in the Pine Tree State. The
result then was regarded as the true in
dex Of the Presidential result and so
now does it clearly and unquestionably
foreshadow what the result viii be next
November.
The Democrats were full Of predictions
after Ceveland's Fishery Message, claim
ing not only that a large splice would be
knocked Off the usual Republican major
ity in Maine, but that the way things
were working up there gave a strong
probability Of a glorious Democratic vic
tory. That message was tie long pole
by which the persimmon was to be
knocked, as the people there were more
Immediately interested in the Canada
Fishery question than those ofauy other
state. In addition to this, many Demo
cratic papers alleged that Blaine at heart
was not in sympathy with the Republi-
can Presidential candidate.
Bat. alas, for Democratic predictions
aud Democratie hopes. The persimmon
was reached by the long Republican pole.
Not only is the result upto the most ex-
trayagsnt Republican expectations, bat
away beyond them. Just where the
1900 majority Of 1856 is going TO swell
70. there is no telling. 81 present writing
it is over 20000, and returns from shack
districts not all in yet.
Hurrah for glorious old Maine While
this big majority on the Governors vote
is so inspiring, all Democratic hopes Of
gaining a Congressman have been knock
ed into smitheroens. The delegation is
not only soldly Republican, but each
member is returned b. q largely increas-
ed majority. Even Tom Reed, whom
the Democrats hate with a bitter hatred.
goes back by such an overwhelmingly
increased majority as will make them
fighting mad.
Look, too, at the complexion Of the
Legislature. The Senate unanimously
Republican, and the House with less
than one Democrat to every five Repub-
Leans.
Well, well, this is glory enough for
one day. But who, alas will have the
nerve to carry the news to Grover. 1t
won't DO to send Perry Belmont, for he is
on record already as saving d@n
Maine.

A Cali on sowden.

WASHINGTON, Sept. G.-The old, old game
of'ol and 50 and 70, and as farback as 1914,
is to be tried again-the game Of claiming in
protection States that the Democratic party
Is as good a protection party as the Republic
can. Il is the same buuko game which, ia
1874. pat a Pennsylvania on the ticket Tor
Nire President, aud covered tbe Democratic
transparencics with huIrlhs Tor the protect
i've tariff ofl3. which, in 1851, sem M.
Randall into the protection district Of New
York to pledge his word that the tariff would
be safe if CIeyelond were elected. Demo
cratic success in Al was followed by the free
trade tariff Of -, the Pennsylvania Vice
President, obedient TO the last to his party,
giving the casting vote in its favor. The
successful repetition ofthe game in 81 was
followed by the Mills bill. Mr.. Randall is
conveniently sick now, and rs Mr.. Randall
is too old a fox 10 be caugh, twice with the
same bait, he can be depended upon to stay
too sick for the stump duty until after the
election.
Failing him, the Democratic campaign
managers have picked ont the man next Ia
prominence by virtue Of his opposition to the
Mills bill. They have picked on sowden;
sowJen, Of Allentown; S,wden, who was the
boldest Of those who voted against the Mills
bin, and whose public building bill was
vetoed in consequence thereof, sow,len.
whom the Allentown Democrat is industri-
ously reading out Of the party every day, and
they have cried out to him TO mount a stump
and raise his voice in their behalf.
Mr. Sowden received a letter yesterday
from Calvin Brice, chairman ofthe Demo
cratic National Campaign Committee, which
is significant enough to print entire 1t is

CrIcs, Sept An incident OF the recent
