After he had adopted the fatal step of re-

mons I first became alive to the terrible
change that was coming over him one day
when vas speaking to him in the sIlok-
ing-room. He was at open war with his
party, and their feeling against him was
rising. At the moment, toe, things were
not going we'll with his old colleagues, and
It looked as if success were once more
coming his way. But he was so urnerved
and he looked so anxiously round when i
went UP to speak to him, that I felt l was
doing him no service by continuing the
conversation. so left HIM. Finally ! saw
him on the terrible night when he made
his temperance after a long absence, and
when he was going to rehabil.tate or finally
destroy himself. 1t was a tragic sight,
never to- be forgotten. Everyone knew
that another man had been broken on the

dispatch to Mark Hanna at New York:
Canton Ohio, Nov. 5.-Hon. M. A.
Hanna, Waldorf hotel, New York: Your
telegraphic message announcing the result
of the election has been received. I beg
you to accept my hearty thanks for your
great service in the cause Of sound money
and protection throughout the campaign
now closed and gloriously won. They were
most generous and effective and will re-
ceive the warm appreciation of your coun-
trymen everywhere. I will be pleased to
have you convey to your associates of the
national committee my high appreciation
Of their efficient services The people in
their majesty, ignoring party lines, have
declared their destation of reputation
and dishonor, in whatever specious guise
they may be presented. They have with
the same mighty power affirmed their
devotion to law and order, and their unde-
Waiting respect for justice and the courts
They have maintained their unfaltering
determination to support and uphold
the constituted authorities of the country.
and have thereby given new vigor and
strength to our free institutions. They
have, indeed again consecrated them
selves to country. and baptized the cher
ished ordinances of free government
with new and holy patriotism. The VIC
tory is not to party or section, but of and
for the whole American people. Not the
least Of the triumphs Of the election is the
obliteration Of sectional lines in the re-
public. We have demonstrated to the
world that we are a reunited people in
purpose as in name. We have manifested
in the great cause the spirit of fraternity
and brotherhood that should always char
acterize our common and equal citizen
ship, and have proved conclusively that in
country OF equal privileges and equal
opportunity. the insidious doctrine of hate,
or Of class or sectional distinctions can
not prevail Let us as Americans straight
way devote ourselves to the upbuilding
Of America; to the peace, honor and glory
Of our common country. Party dissen-.
sior1s should no longer divide or rack the
public mind; nor the zeal or temper Of
either side deter any citizen from patri-
$otic devotion to the good of all. h:
