GOOD POINTMEN

Even the critics of Governor Ames
of Massachusetts give him credit for
making excellent appointments. Re-
Gently he appointed a strong COM
mission to enlarge the state-house,
with Ex-GOv. Long at the head, and
now he has appointed Col. Thomas
Wentworth Higginson, military and
naval historian of the state, under
an act just passed by the legislature.
Not only by reason of the part he
took in the war, but by his habit, *
perience and literary capacity, per-
haps no man in the state is better fit
ted for the position. The Boston
Herald is just mean enough to insin-
uate that when it comes to getting
the best work as is here called for, it
is generally found necessary to in
wade the mugwumpian ranks. The
Herald remembers that Col. Higgin-
son is a mugwump of the first water.
NEW HAMPSHIRE POLITICS.
The republican caucus at Concord
nominated VIM. E. Chandler or
Thursday for United States senator
to succeed himself, he having been
elected two years ago to fill out the
term of the late Austin F. Pike. His
opponent was DR.. J. H. Gallinger,
and the first ballot stood 125 for
Chandler and 60 for Gallinger. This
outcome was foreshadowed last
week. Senator Chandler is one of
the most astute politicians in the
country and his methods more than
once have almost shocked republic
cans, out of New Hampshire. The
interest in the result of the caucus
would have been greater were DIR.
Gallinger considered very much of an
Improvement on Chandler.
Senator Chandler was called out
after his nomination and made a
characteristic speech in which he sol
EMMY told his hearers that he had
spent no lIOlSS pIOIIISCu HO hiOilSS,
authorized the expenditure of no
money, in order to secure the votes
of the honorable members of this
caucus which is now before me-, and
to the truthfulness of this assertion |
pledge yOu my sacred honor The
following paragraph from his speech
sounds very familiar
Two years ago Grover Cleveland
was president, sneering at the sol
diers in his vetoes of pension bills.
and union soldiers who wished ia
vors from the national government
were obliged to ask of confederate
brigadiers who had fought to de-
strOy the union of these states.
Very few republicans had. perhaps,
believed that we could Dust these
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS at the mex pres
idental election, but, Mr.. Chairman,
whom the gods wish to destroy they
first make mad"
The democratic caucus the same
day nominated Hon. Harry Bingham
for senator, but there will be no diff
ficulty in returning Mr.. Chandler to
WashingtOnfo for six years.

The following editorial note from the Bos-
ton Cultivator of May 4th, 1889, is so much
to the point that we make it n part of this
advertisement. 1t we'll illustrates the speed
producing power of Henry s.:
tonian began his stud career when but two
very first, was Alexander's Abda1lah. The
latter died when but thirteen years old, yet a
careful study of the $50 list will show that a
greater number of the animals found there
trace to A~lexander's Abdal1ah than to any
other stallion that ever lived, excepting his
own ancestors.
With the exception of the year 1868, Rys-
dyk'S HambletOnian was in the stud from
1851 to the time of his death in 1875, a peri
cd of 25 years. During this time he got 1888
living foalS. The first of these to acquire dis
~tinction upon the turf was the famous Dexter
(2.17A), which was for several years king of
the trotting turf. Dexter's dam, as is well
known, was Clara, a Highland, nervy, reso-
lutte daughter of Seely's American Star. The
last foal produced by Hambletonian is DIR. J.
A. Sherman'S handsome stallion, very apprO-
priately named Hambletonian'S Last, q like
ness of which appears upon another page.
He is a smoothly turned, speedy fellow, bred
by his present owner and foaled in 1876. In
his eight-year-Old form he got a record of
2.25A. His dam, like that of Dexter (2.17A)
was by Seely's American Star. Daughters of
Seely'S American Star have already produced
thirty-three stations which have got 2-3O
performers. 1t is safe to dict that before
many years Hambletonian's Last will be
numbered in that class.
