CURRENT COMMENT.

HE WILL BE THE FAvoRITE EVERYWHERE
Lewiston Gazette.l
If newspapers can elect the Hon. Henry b.

for Governor. 1t remains to be seen whether
the favorite of the Republican newspaper
offices will be also the favorite at the conven-

of locality to have any weight for it would
inevitably result in a system of rotation
among sections which would at some time
compel convention to choose between Sc
lecting an inferior candidate or affronting the
section whose turn it was to name the candi-
date. As long as sectional claims are kept
out Republican conventions will be free to
choose the best candidate: let them in and
they will be hampered and frequently the
candidate will be chosen for them in ad-
vance. Every other Republican convention
is now constrained by the two term arrange
ment. Establish locality precedent, nomi-
nate somebody on that claim and hereafter
not only every other, but every, convention
Will be constrained, unless the section whose
turn 1t is shall present more than one candi-
date, and even in that case it will feel bound
to restrict its choice to one of the two.
Furthermore, if claim of this kind is to be
applied to governor, it will be but short
time before an effort will be made to extend
it to all State officers, and the result will be
that our officers will be selected by sections
of the State and not by the whole State. One
year the east will select the Secretary of
pea1c, anu tho hOAt ycal ShO WOo1 anu 1hO
following year the central section. Two
thirds of the people might not be salts
fed with the selection Of the other third,
but they would have to submit because
it was according to party usage. 1t is natu-
raj and proper that candidate should re-
ceive the support of his immediate locality.
A candidate who did not get that would be
viewed with suspicion. But for the delegates
from candidates own neighborhood to offer
as reason why the convention should prefer
their favorite to some other candidate the
fact that he lived in the same part of the
State that they came from would be quite
another matter. Any such argument would
be unworthy of the consideration of the con-
vention. If any weight should be attached
to it no end of mischief would result.

Our old friend and fellow citizen, Prof.
Hincks, continues his interesting discussion
of the question concerning the Scope Of
Christianity as taught by the Apostles. In
this number he examines and elucidates the
difficult passage in l. Peter, touching our
Lords descent into Hades to preach to the
spirits in prison. Mr.. J. H. Hyslop furnishes
candid essay on the Relation of Evolution
to Ethics Rev VIM. T. Herridge pronounces
a splendid eulogy on the Genius and Compo-
sitions Of Beethoven. The admirers of the
great composer will. be much pleased with
this paper. Mr.. j. G. Mather gives trust
worthy description of the Armaments of Eu-
rope, showing how great the burden is on the
present generation. But the piece de resist
drce of this number of the Andover is "Men-
tai Narcotics and Stimulants, by j. III. Deni-

The attractions of the river and harborbill
proved stronger to the Democratic majority
than the attractions of the tariff bill for they
quietly laid the latter aside after Mills had
made his speech until next Tuesday, and then
pushed three or four appropriations out of
the way in order to get ''the grabbing" be-
fore the House for consideration. 1t would
be tremendous calamity to lots of Demo-
cratic congressman who are intending to run
for reelection if the distribution which this
bill accomplishes should fail by reason of its
defeat. Many of them find in the sums
brought into their districts through this meas
ure there only campaign capital. But the
zeal with which the House has entered upon
its consideration and the rapidity with
which its sections are being considered and
adopted show that in this connection and in

The Claim Of Locality.

The Bangor Wing admits that the Hon. II.
B. Cleayes would make an unexceptionable
candidate for governor and worthy cxecu-
tive If chosen, but 1t is inclined to favor Mr..
Burleigh, because, with the exception of
the single year Of Gov. Davis in 1880, the
eastern portion of the State has not furnished
Republican governor since Israel Wash
burn, Jr., in 1868" The locality argument
has never made any impression upon Re-
publican conventions. and two years ago it
was distinctly repudiated, both by voice and
vote, by the very section of the State in
whose behalf 1t is now raised. 1t will be
recollected that the candidates before that
convention were the Hon. J. r. Bodwell, of
Hallowell, and DIR. A. G. Hamlin of Bangor.
The name of Dr. Hamlin was presented by
Mr.. Lewis A. Barker of Bangor, and among
the considerations on which he urged the
Doctors nomination was this-that the
west had had the nomination six times to the
casts once. This point was strongly urged,
and 1t was alleged even that the previous Re-
publican convention had promised that this
time the nomination should be given to the
east. How did the east itself treat this claim
made in its behalf? Every county but one
gave large majority of its vote in favor of Mr.
Bodwell, and one of them, Aroostook, went
so as to put forward delegate to second Mr..
Bodwell's nomination. Certainly here was
complete reputation by the very section in
behalf of which the locality argument was
raised Of all sympathy with the idea of rota-
ting the Republican nomination according to
the points Of the compass. 1t is highly i'm
probable that the east has any intention Of
reyiying claim which it SO thoroughly repu-
dated two years ago this year or will thank
anybody to do SO for it. Indeed, the eau
cuses that have already taken place in the
east effectually negative any such idea
Calais, which is as far east as it is possible to

while some Aroostook towns have chosen
delegates who will support Burleigh. 1t
would be very dangerous precedent for
Republican convention to set to allow claims

To Louisiana correspondent of the New
York Sun the Democratic victory in that
State seems suspiciously large. "The ma
jorities reported from some of the parishes
in North Louisiana are stupedous" he writes
"and in some cases incredible. From Rap
ides, where the contest was regarded close
one until few days ago, majority of seven
thousand is reported. The total population
is only twenty-four thousand" This -four
ishing majority In Northern Louisiana seems
to be the result of the exhortation delivered
before election by the Shreveport Democrat,
which said: SIN South Louisiana we can
look for the regular old fashioned Republi-
can majority. Warmoth will come up to
the mouth of the Red River with 10000 ma
jority. We must poll our full party sire ngth
in North Louisiana, or we are beaten. Every
Democratic vote from Madison to Caddo
and from Avoyeiles to the Arkansas line
must be put in the ballot box for Nichells.
With such vote we can win. Without it
Warmoth is our next governor" 1t is well
known that when the Louisiana Democrats
get scared they usually put in not only
vote for every man, but good many more.
than they needed, so many that their major
ity is on the face of it evidence of fraud.
With returns in from all but three parishes
Nichols. the Democratic candidate has 112,-
$40 votes to 1880 for Warmoth, Republican.
This gives Democratic majority larger than
the entire Democratic vote of Louisiana in
the last Presidential election. But as the vote
in Presidential election was unusually small
because the result was foreordained, it is a
fairer comparison to take the gubernatorial
election just preceding the Presidential cleo
ton of "a. Then McEnery the Democratic
candidate received 1874 votes to 1923 given
to Stevenson, Republican. By unusual ex-
ertions this year stimulated by unusual good
feeling throughout the party the Republicans
increased their vote by some over four thous-
and. But the Democrats, who began the
contest with bitter factional fight, increased
their vote nearly twenty-four thousand.
They increased it too much
