Facts from a Busy Public Career.
BANGOR, Me-, July 6-Hannibal Ham
lin, ex-vice president of the United States,
died at Oils O'Clock Saturday evening in
the rooms OF the Tarratine club, in this
city. Durirg the afternoon Mr. Hamlin
visited the clUb-rooms and engaged in a
game of pedro with some other gentle
men. He had not been playing long when
he complained of a severe pain in the back
of his left shoulder. The gentlemen pres
ent rubbed his shoulder and applied slim
ulants, and in a short time he was much
better, and thanked them pleasantly for
their kindness. He then lighted a cigar
and resumed his game of pedro. A mo-
ment later Mr.. Hamlin's head fell for
ward on his chest. Those present imme-
diately ran to his assistance, and he was
removed to n lounge in the next room.
An Attempt to Fight of Death.
Three physicians-Drs. Robinson, Ma
son and Phillips-were soon on the ground
Mr.. Hamlin lay unconscious for half an
hour, when he improved somewhat under
the doctors efforts and became able to
articulate. Then he insisted upon laying
, on his left side This the doctors could
not allow, bat they finely hum ored him
by changing his position slightly Then
they took measures to keep up his
strength, applying spirits and hot-water
bags until the patient regained color con-
siderably and was able to talk little, at
times quite strongly. When he regained
consciousness his first inquiry was for mis-
wife, and he called her by name He
recognized her at once and talked with
her
Complained of Being Too Warm.
Shortly before o'clock he remarked to
DR.. Mason: II am uncomfortably warm"
The doctor replied: ave have been trying
to make you as comfortable as possible :"
But" SAID Mr.. Hamlin, in a vein OF pleas
antry rather remarkable under the circum-
stances, you are making me disagreeably
So" The doctor replied that in order to
make him comfortable they Must first
make him uncomfortable Mr. Hamlin
complained considerably about being too
warm and insisted upon turning over on

The End of Life at Last.
Mr.. Hamlin objected to being put in q
bed, saying he wanted TO sit up. His last
words were regarding the bolstering up
of his head, which he wanted much
higher General Hamlin, his son, was
confident until almost the last that he
would come out of his attack all right
Mrs. Hamlin, General Chaples Hamlin,
his son and wife, and other members of
his family, were at his side when he
passed away. Mr.. Hamlin had been per-
ceptibly falling for year, but appeared
about as usual in the afternoon when he
walked down town to his club

raE NEW PARTY.

The National Union Conference at
Cincinnati the other day labOred and
hrouqht forth the Peoples Party a
brand new political organization, whose
sole object is to reform the ills humani-
" is suffering under at present. The
convention was a heterogeneous mass
and did not seem to have very clear
idea of what it wanted or how to obtain
il il il did. Still, it was, generally
speaking, body of sincere men, who
were striving through the ballot TO
right undeniable wrongs 1t may be
sneered at as dolly Warden" cOnven-
ton. composed of Farmers Alliance
men. Socialists, Knights Of Labor,
Woman SuffragiStS, GreenbackerS and
what not, but it was convention Of
men who represented millions Of the
masses of the people now suffering I'M
der governmental wrongs and who are
seeking way to remedy them.
1t will not do to pOoh-pOOh this Third
party. 1t has millions OF the people
hack Of il and is a spontaneous, though
ill-dehned, protest against present
methods OF government, to put it brief
". under which the people are diScon-
tented and restless. Neither will it do
to sheer at it as the aSSemblage Of
delegates OF the discontinued. Every
governmental reform and progression
since the beginning has been accom-
plished through the efforts Of the dis
coptented." Were ii not for the diScOn-
tented the American Declaration Of In
dependence would never have been writ
ten.
Bnt. though this is true. the recent
Cincinnati convention in forming
separate and distinct third party"
took the longest way around to accom-
compliSh the ends it desired. The best
the Peoples Party can do is upset
political calculations and make the issue
between the two great partieS-One or
other OF which is bound to win-mOre
uncertain than ever. Their efforts
may, in fact, aid in the con-
tinuation Of the very state Of
affairs in the national government,
which they aim to reform, by Grip
ping the Democracy and thus aid
ing the Republican party. Ii may re-
