ment can redeem the issue without leaving
the bullionist 40 cents ahead on each dollars
worth In addition to this Mr. Brumm said
that free coinage Of silver would throw open
the mints to silver bullion from all parts of
the world. Foreigners would certainly
bring all the bullion they could scmpe
together knowing that the United
States government was giving 100 cents
for each 81 cents worth Of bullion
and this country would be giving the
foreign countries 40 cents on the dollar for
nothing. But under the seiguiorage system
there would be no inducemcut for such an
influx, as the government would only buy
the bullion at its actual value, and this the
foreigners can get in their own miuts, so it
would mean a loss to them to bring their
bullion here. Bimetallism should be the
cry Of the people, and bimetallism by inter
national agreement. 1t is not necessary for
us to have England, or Germany
in such an agreement. They are the two
great creditor nations, but they can be dis
carded. 1t can be accomplished by com.
pact with Russia, with Austria Hungary and
other countries. Russia was friendly to the
United States during the civil war and in
the election Of the Republican ticket bi-
metallism can be brought about.

THE MAINE ELECTION.
Possibility of Republican Majority of
Over 10000.

over 10000.
AUGUSTA, Sept. 14.-With fair weather
today Hon. Llewellyn Powers, Republican,
will be elected governor Of Maine by over
30, 600 majority, with a strong possibility
that the figures will be nearer 10000. At
least that is what the prophets of both
parties who have been figuring the vote
for the last three weeks declare. Chair
man Mnnley, Of the Republican state com
mittee, believes that the figures will be
the largest ever given in presidential
year, and his Democratic opponents prac-
tically agree with him
The Democratic managers declare that
the doctrine of free silver was practically
unknown in Maine two months ago, and
they argue that the Democratic vote which
will be cast today means that the policy
has made great gains in the last few weeks.
They declare that if the Republican ma
iority falls below 2O,OOO it will be a Demo-
cratic victory.
The governor is the only state officer
elected by the people in Maine, all others
being chosen by the legislature. The can
didates on the official ballot today are
Hon. Llewellyn Powers of HOulton, Re-
publican; Hon. Melvin p. Frank of Port
land, Democrat; Ammi 5 Ladd of Calais,
Prohibition, and Luther G. Bateman of
Auburn, Populist. The name of William
Henry Clifford of Portland, the nominee
of the gold Democrats, is noton the ticket,
and those who wish to vote for him must
write his name on the ballot. In all of the
congressional districts increased Republi-
can majorities are looked for speaker
Thomas b. Reed, in the First district will
probably be honored with the largest ma
jority he has ever received.

Growing Old.

The fsrest lilies droop at eveDtide,
The sweetest roses fall from on the stem;
The r.rest things on earth cannot abide,
And we are passing, too, away like them;
We're growing old.
We had our dreams, those rosy dreams OF
youth;
They faded and twas well. This afterprime
Hath brought US fuller hopes; and yet for
sooth.
We drop a tear now In this later time,
To think we're old
We smile at those poor fancies Of the past
A saddencd smile, almost akin to pain.
Those high desires those purposes 30 vast.
All our poor hearts they cannot come
again;
We're growing old.
We move along, and scatter a. we pace
Soft graces tender hopes every hand
Until, with gray streaked hair and hollow face,
We step across the boundary of the land
Where none are old.
