WILLIAM f. RUSSELL DEAD.

Ex-Governor of Massachusetts Dies
Suddenly in Camp.
William E. Russell, ex-governor of
Massachusetts,, died suddenly in camp
near st. Adelaide, Quebec, where he had
gone for few days of rest and recrea-
ton following the great strain Of the ac-
tive part he took in the national demo-
cratic convention at Chicago. His death
was due to heart disease attributable his
physicians believe, directly to the excite
ment of the Chicago convention; and
disappointment at the action of the con-
vention.
William Eustis Russell was born in the
old university town of Cam bridge, Mass,
Sept. 6, 1857. He entered Harvard at the
early age of Is, and Immediately after his
graduation in 1877 he began the study Of
law, taking three years course at the
Boston University law school.
He early began to take an active inter
est in municipal politics, and in 1885 was
elected mayor Of Cambridge. During his
three terms in this Office he gained the re-
spect Of the younger element OF his par
ty, and when in 1888 he was nominated
for governor, though not elected, he de-
veloped such oratorical talents and such
an aptitude for generalship that the next
year he was again chosen standard bearer.
Fiercely and holly the contest was
waged, the tariff being the main issue.
Mr.. Russell made hundreds of speeches,
and when the votes We're counted it was
seen that he was steadily gaining, for, al
though again defeated, it was by very
narrow margin.
For a third time he was renominated
and this time was triumphantly elected,
being the third democratic governor of
Massachusetts, since the war and the
youngest man who ever occupied the gu
bernatorial chair. So successful was
his first administration that he was
renominated in 1884, and he was re-elect-
ed although every other democratic cam
didate on the ticket was defeated.
The adjective "dashing' has been asso-
ciated with Mr.. Russell ever since 1890,
when he led the democracy of the Old
Bay State to victory after three exciting
campaigns. He was only 80 years old at
the time, and never was governor more
OF party idol than was Mr.. Russell after
his election, which popularity he has
maintained down to the time of his de-
cease. His last public service for the
party was as a delegate to the Chicago
convention.

ELLSWORTH, July

ELLSWORTH, July y, 1896.
To the Editor Of The american:
| want to thank you for every word
contained in THE AMERICAN OF July 9.
1t was all interesting. P. G.. Wooster s
letter was very fine. But | want es-
pecialy to thank Corinne, Of Gable
Villa, for her ''TreasureTrove." 1t came
to my heart when it seemed breaking. |
had Just thrown down the flower OF a
long friendship, and said l would crush
it out OF my heart, believing there was
none good because the loaf hsome worm OF
deceit and falsehood had shown its horrid
head. But the little maids words rebuked
me. oh, why did not try to push away
the vile thing and save the lovely flower?
Perhaps, by forgiveness, | can yet save
the blossom, and | shall ever feel grateful
to Corinne for her "Treasure-Trove."
When passed her beautiful home last
summer, / did not think such loving
thoughts waited there to come direct to
my bleeding heart, end may they not be
the last message OF cheer from Gable
Villa. FRIEND OF THE AMERICAN.
