CURRENT COMMENT.
THE MAN OF MAINE.
Mann Xnrk 2un \

No figure prominent in the present
campaign Is more truly admiral BILE in it's
various aspects than that of the Hon.
Thomas Brackets Reed of Maine, a de-
teated candidate for the nomination
which Major Mckinley won. The
Speaker occupies in the affections OF the
Republicans of the whole country place
very near to the heart. BY millions of
Republicans he is beloved as Blaine
was. The striking and peculiar feature OF
MI. Reeds case is that since his failure
st st. Louis to achieve the object of his
natural aud landable ambition, he not
only has strengthened his hold upon his
own party, but has also gained, to an al
most equal degree, in the esteem and
admiration of those whose political oppo-
nent he has been, and ia yet, in the ordi-
nary division of craftsmanship.
When the Republicans passed over
Speaker Reed and chose Major McKin-
ley, the Speaker went TO work cheerfully
ami generously, like the man he is to
promote the latter's election. II there
was any trace of disappointment IN Tom
Reeds wide soul ID was not manifest to
the public. The enlargement of the issue
to ,ne of patriotism and national securi-
" dlgnif1ed his appearance on the stump.
He became at once the champion of ideas
and interests which belong to honest Re-
publicans and honest Democrats in COM
mon. They have had DO moro vigorous
and efficient champion during the weeks
which the Speaker has spent in many
states East and West, delivering to
throngs of enthusiastic auditors speeches
characterized by breadth of view, states
manlike tolerance, and commanding
rhetoric. This remarkable series of cam
paign addresses was interrupted for few
days by physical disability, but we OBJ
serve that the Speaker is at work again,
stating to the people Of Missouri the
case for honest money and honest govern
inert, with such directness, force, and
wit as few political orators now living
can rival.
For his distinguished services to the
common cause. the gratitude of every
honest money democrat is due to the
Hon. Thomas Bracket Reed; particular
ly SO because he was one of the first Re-
pm blicans of eminenoe to recognize the
fact that partisan nom enclature means
little this year, and to extend to his
Democratic allies and cola borers q well
come that was as hearty in spirit rs it
was graceful in phrase.
The Portland daily press., 1896-10-27

not quite believe that all his boastful
talk, is nothing but what is known in
the slang of the day as bluff 1t may
relieve the minos of these people some
what to consider who Jones is and what
position he holds in the present contest.
The idea, if it has even been entertained
seriously by any one. that Jones is too
conscientious to tell a lie Is thoroughly
disposed of By the fact that he received
his training in the Arkansas school of
politics where honesty is not taught and
where display of conscience is not toll
Grated. Probably Jones has not arrived
at that stage of decentralization where he
had rather go crooked than straight,
though some of his recent proclamations
to laboring men would seem to indicate
that he is not far away from it, but his
loyalty 10 truth falls far short of that
intensity which would lead him to sacri-
fee either himself or the political cause
which he is supposed 60 be sup
porting, to- it. If Jones should say
what we have no doubt he really thinks
about the Bryan campaign today
he would confess that it has been
failure and that the prospect of
Bryan's carrying the country is not
worth talking about. But that would
disored1t him forever as political
leader and besides it would make the
impending defeat more overwhelming.
Jones can not confess the truth at this
stage of the game for he is at the head of
the troops. Tt may be said that while he
need cot tell the truth, he need not tell
lie, that he can keep silent. But to
keep silent when the Republican man
ayers are claiming an overwhelming
majority in the electoral college for Nc
Kinley would be regarded by everybody
as santamount to a confession. His
pc sition is such that he must either
claim victory or adyuit defeat. There Is
no middle course. If he should do the
latter the responsibility for the defeat
would be put upon his shoulders, and he
would find it necessary fer his health to
take trip abroad very soon after he
made his confession, SO the only safe
course for him to pursue is to claim
Everything. And that's what he is do
ing.

George Fred Williiams's statement that
he has no more question of Bryan's cleo
tion than he has of an assured fact seems
pretty strong and confident. But George
Fred'sssoareer fol the past three or four
years shows that his confidence does
not count for much. few years
ago he was SO confident that free
silver would ruin tie country that he
led the Eastern Democratic representa-
tives against it and refused to vote for
Mir. Crisp for speaker because that gen.
tleman believed in it. Now Mr.. Williams
thinks that the salvation of the country
depends upon it.

1t is safe TO set down stories affecting
the character or record of the cand idates
which make their appearance for the
first time in the last week of campaign
as falsehoods, manufactured at late
date SO that there may not be time TO
thoroughly expose them. The chances
are hundred to one that an alleged dis
coyery in regard to a candidate just be-
fore the election, which tends to do him
harm, is not a discovery at all but an
invention pure and simple. 1t is also safe
to dismiss with small consideration
most of the pIoclamations that appear
during the last days Of campaign, tell
ing of tricks and stratagems which are
to be resorted to in favor of any of the
candidates. The coolest managers grow
somewhat hystel ical on the eve of a big
election and shoot off proclamations as
q relief to their feelings.

If Savage has told the true story of the
Parsonstield murder it was one of the
most brutal, causeless, and altogether
iabolical crimes ever committed in this
state. But there is room for suspicion
that the story as ne tells it is not the
correct story. 1t seems almost incredi-
lie that with M more prov ocation than
that of a small grudge of three years
standing Palmer could have deliberately
shot the old lady. Furthermore it looks
still more improbable that he would
have promptly acknowledged to Savage
that he fred the shot with the deliberate
intention of getting square with the
old woman" We doubt il the authori-
