He is the very antipode of Populism,
and so strong protectionist that his 10y
atty to the Democratic party has been re-
peatedly questioned. But the greater
wonder, among those who know MI.
Sewall, is that he should be found in
such company. He has had no experience
of public life, his name is unknown to the
nation, and the Boston Herald sums up
the matter by saying that ''from politi-
cal point of view the nomination is con-
spicuously weak

Senator Chardler of New Hampshire
declares that the campaign instead of
being an issue as between Mckinley and
''sound money and Bryan and free coin

Anarchists, Socialists and destructives-

An exchange publishes an article telling
'how Lamar Fontaine came to write his
favorite poem "All Quiet Along the
Potomac Tonight" A controversy arose
soon after the war as to the authorship of
this poem, and it was said to have estab-
lished the fact that Mrs. Ethel Beers of
New York wrote the poem, which first
appeared in one of the Harper's publica-
tons

A Missouri exchange says that apples
may be kept two years by wrapping them
IN newspapers in such manner as to ex-
clude air. The newspaper must, how
ever, be one on which the subscription
has been paid in full, or the dampness re-
sulting from the due will cause the fruit
to spoil. National Advertiser.
AS the apple season is near at hand this
will interest quite a number of our sub
scribers. AS ''delays are dangerous we
shall expect the due to be promptly re-
moved.

Major McKinley's war record will COM
mend him everywhere to those who wore
the blue during the war of the rebellion.
He was commissioned by President Abra-
ham Lincoln for distinguished services on
the battlefield, after he served for IA
months as a private in the ranks. That
is his record in brief, and details only
magnify it.

The tendency of the Democratic party
to 60 from bad to worse has long been
manifest, but at Chicago it took the final
plunge. Men who have retained their
party allegiance despite much stress and
-''Democrats by BIRTH or bound
by tradition or sentiment-are now rally
ing by thousands under the Republican
Standard moved by patriotic impulse.
Practically all the leading and influential
Democratic newspapers of the country
have repudiated the Chicago platform
and candidates, and many Of them have
come out squarely for Mckinley 1t is a
political revolution which has no parallel
in the history of this country. 1t is an
up rising of patriotism against fanaticism,
ignorance and lawlessness. The Chicago
platform means reputation, fifty cent
dollar, mob law, and freedom for anarch
lists to murder, burn and pillage.
The Democratic candidate for the Pres
idency served two terms in Congress with
ou' N'S'SioPlHS any PttuliC capacity Nudl-
ever, and was then defeated for re -elec-
tion. He was one of the committee that
framed the Wilson bill, and is as rank a
free trader as free silverite. He is radi-
cal on all questions, unstable, with ora
tory as his only gift-his words often
''full of sound and fury, signifying moth
ing" In Washington he is considered
one of the weakest candidates that could
have been selected. He was not taker
into the councils of the Democratic lead
ers, and the fact is that during the last
year of his term in Congress he was look
ed on with considerable distrust by the
older Democratic leaders. They consid
cred him too much in sympathy with
Populism to be accepted as a Democrat
of the best standard.

Vice Presidential candidate by such &

The July number of The Forum con-
tains an article by Hon. W. E. Russell on
Jefferson and His Party To day. 1t
was of course written some time before
the Chicago convention. Jefferson would
not recognize his party to-day. For ex-
ample, in his first inaugural address he
called for ''the honest payment of our
debts and the sacred preservation of the
public faith.'' And of this and other
declarations Mr.. Russell says: ''To JET
ferson and his party these principles were
not idle distractions and empty plati-
tudes, but were political policy to be
aggressively enforced in the laws of State
and Nation" 81 have spoken of Jeffer-
son as if he were with u.s. continues Mr..
Russell. If he were, like thousands of
other good Democrats, he would repudi-
ate the Chicago convention and all its
works and cast his vote for Mckinley,
honest money and protection to American
industry.

When some blatant orator dins your
ears with an harangue on what he is
pleased to term ''the crime of '73''-
meaning the change made in the coinage
laws of that year-you can shut him up
in short order, and expose the false state
ments in the Chicago platform by a few
facts. Silver dollars were not then coin.
ed at ratio of IL to /, or any ratio, and
had not been coined or circulated for
many years. The only silver that had
been coined for long term was 'ssubsid-
iary coinage" halves, quarters, dimes.
and half dimes. Outside of this subsid-
iary coinage there was in 1873 of silver in
circulation barely ) cents per capita.
Since that time the amount of legal silver
tender in circulation, either as coin or as
represented by silver certificates. has
been increased to s. per capita, and every
dollar in circulation is accepted every-
where in this country at the full face
value. The silverites say that the ''crime
OF 1873 diminished the money in circu-
lation, and 50 diminished prices. In 1860
the money in circulation in this country
was S442, l02, AT; S14. 06 per capita of the
population, In 1872 it was S73S, 300, 549.
or SIS. 20 per head of population July
/, 1896, it was s1,521, 5s4, 2S3, or S21. 30 to
every man, woman and child in the coun-
try. In the last thirty-six years the
amount per capita of the population has
increased more than fifty per cent The
increase per capita since 1872 is 11.4 per
cent, while the gross increase is S7S3.-
294, 734 or 106 per cent increase. These
are facts. 1t is the Democratic tariff which
has cut down the farmers prices. Let
him vote the Republican ticket and strike
at the root of his troubles

We print on the Sd page three articles
on the silver question. The Atchison,
Kansas, Daily Globe is an Independent
paper with Democratic leaEings, but al
though published in the West, where the
free silver craze originated and is most
prevalent, it stands for honesty, progress,
patriotism and common sense. The New
York Herald, in many respects the lead
ing newspaper of this country, and
staunchly Democratic, depicts the evils
which would result from the triumph of
the silver fanatics in strong colors. 1t is
with pleasure that we quote the utter
ances of the Lewiston Sun, an able Demo-
cratic daily, in behalf Of sound money.
The editor of the Sun evidently places
patriotism above party; and certainly it is
a time when patriotism is called for to
save the Nation from disaster and degra-
dation. In its issue of July 10th the sun
declines to support the Chicago platform
or candidate. 1t says;
Believing that the future prosperity of
the people would be endangered by such
a course; and that the silver platform, if
approved by the country, would add only
riches to the wealthy mine owners and
those who hold gold in their possession,
for gold would certainly advance to a
premium; and as the Democrats of Maine
have placed themselves on record at re-
cent convention for gold, The Sun cannot
consistently support the platform and the
nominees of the Sil1-ar cnnrantinn

The widespread Democratic reputation
of the doings of the Jacobin Convention in
Chicago recalls the outburst of Union SEN
timent when secession raised its threat
generation ago.
In all sections of the country Democratic
newspapers, leaders and voters are swell
ling chorus of protest against the popu-
listic platform and ticket and voicing
patriotic determination to put down both
at the polls. Thousands of old time Demo-
Gratis do not hesitate to proclaim their in
tention to vote for Mckinley, while others
seem disposed to favor the nomination
of a third ticket. The one sentiment of
all evidently is that the country is men
aced by danger which must be met and
averted; the difference of opinion is only
as to how this may be done most surely
and effectively. New York Herald.
The reference to secession suggests the
point that, with the exception of the loss
of precious lives, the triumph of the
populsts, anarchists and communists,
who stand behind the Chicago ticket and
platform, would be more disastrous to
this country than the war of the rebel
lion. 1t would destroy the national credit,
degrade the country in the eyes of the
civilized world, and paralyze every honest
trade and industry. None of these conse-
quences attended the civil war, and the
country quickly recuperated even under
the heavy war debt incurred. There
would be no such recuperative power left
in the event of the calamity now threaten
ed. Capital would flee, labor be degrad-
ed, and lawlessness and anarchy prevail.

Obituary.

Miss Bertha L. Hammons died at the home
of her parents, DR.. and Mrs. Luther W
Hammons, on Main street, last Sunday
morning, at the early age of II years, 5
months and IA days. She was born in Or
rington, but her parents moved when she
was quite young to Islesboro, where she at
tended the public schools, and was a bright,
intelligent pupil. Shortly after they came
to Belfast, and her health began to fail and
finally she was obliged to leave school while
a pupil in the Upper Grammar. She was
possessed of an unusually even disposition,
and was beloved by her classmates and as
sociates for her many kind deeds, which it
seemed pleasure to her to perform. AS a
member of the Good Templar order she was
an active worker while strength and health
remained. She was a firm believer in the
Christian religion and carried it's precepts
into practice in her daily life. A friend OF
the family sends the following verses as ap-
