m. manIer,s Letter.

The letter from Hon. J. H. ManIey
which we publish elsewhere In this 49,
sue, will be encouraging reading to the
Republicans of Maine. MIR. Manley is
in a position to know whereof ne
speaks, and the conservatism that
characterizes his political forecasts
was abundantly shown in the recent
Maine election. We have every reason
to believe that the estimates given by
him in this letter. will be more than
borne out by the election returns.
Having been actively and prominent
" engaged in the exacting labors of
the national Republican committee. at
it's headquarters in New York City.
where he went Immediately after the
Maine election, Mr.. Manley has had
the very best of opportunities for as
pertaining the trend of political senti-
ment all over the Union. Not only
has he been in daily conference with
political leaders from all sections of the
country, but he has had the advan-
tages of an enormous correspondence
with the active workers in the field.
He knows precisely the outlook in all
parts of the political field. We may
rest assured therefore, that there are
ample grounds for the encouraging re-
port which he sends this morning,
through the columns Of the Journal. to
votes are counted Nov. 3, we predict
that Mr.. Manley's forecast will be
found to have been we'll within the
lines Of conservatism.
Mr.. Manley pays merited tribute to
the effective work done in the cam
paign, by the able members of our con-
gressional delegation, and other distin
guished sons of the Old Pine Tree
State. Maine is proud of them, and of
him. for the notable services they
have rendered their party and their
country, in the present great strug
gle for the maintenance of a sound
currency and national integrity.
Not only does Mr.. Manley voice the
belief of the committee that Mr.. Nc
Kinley will secure more than 800 cleo
toral votes, but he believes that the
Republicans will control both branches
of Congress.
In the great decisive national victory
predicted by Mr.. Marley, the sound
money men of Maine must do their full
share by rolling up majority for Me-
Kinley in November even more decisive
than that given the Republican ticket
in September.

Patriotism in Politics.

Ex-President Harrison is distin-

of his political utterances. We sub
join few of the gems from his recent
addresses in the Indiana campaign
We are one people. one in our pur-
poses. aims and lives one in our fealty
to the flag, the constitution and the in
| dissoluble Union of the States.

promoting the legislation of measures for

choked off legislation which the House or
dered at the last session. The subject will
come to the front again this winter in
Congress. The bills at last session were
three in number: The Educational Test

Consular Certificate bill of Representative
Stone. Plenty of amendments to these
bills were introduced and plenty of sub
stitutes for them We're presented: but if
the Senate can be brought to book some
thing effective will probably get on to the
statute books in the next six months

The Past Week Significant.

Another week of the campaign re-
mains. 1t will be more exciting, per-
haps, than that which is just past but
can scarcely be more significant. In
deed the events of the past week were
such that it is difficult to understand
how they could have left in the mind
of any experienced observer or presi-
Dental politics the slightest confidence
in the success of Bryan and Popocracy.
The week was characterized by sew
eral important features. Among them
audacity of Altgeld was met and
turned against himself. He saw that
his Objectionable personality, or rather
the theories and anarchistic ideas of
which he is the foremost representa-
tive, and to which he would bind Bryan
as he did the Chicago convention, were
proving very burdensome and he
started for the enemy's country to pose
as man who had been greatly
wronged by a wicked administration a
wicked commander of the army, the
| wicked press, etc. He attempted in a
very elaborate argument to show that
there was no need of federal interfer-
ence. His statements have met with
ready and overwhelming response The
postmaster of Chicago from the official
records has shown that his statements
were false, that the mails were stopped
and that they did not run regularly
until the federal government protected
them. All this has served to clearly
impress upon the public mind the pro-
found influence Altgeld has with the
Popocratic party. also to reveal more
strikingly the menace of that influence.
No less a person than William r.
Morrison has sQuarely repudiated Alt
| geld, Bryan and free silver and called
upon the former to explain the criminal
charges openly made against him and
to tell the workingmen. whose friend
he processes to be. why the taxes under
his administration have mounted from
81 to 50 cents on the $500.
OBJECTIONS have also been a promi-
nent feature. With Mr. Morrison
were the lieutenant governor of Indi-
ana, a leading Democrat of Georgia,

able than their number, for they were
