Abraham Lincoln.

Abraham Lincoln was wise counselor
brave and saeRcious leader. Standing
out among oil the elements of his Charac-
ter was the unllinehing determination to
do right and deal Justly. He was strong
man, and the old proverb says that The
strong man and the water always chan
mel their own paths
Lincoln pathway was troublesome
and surrounded with great responsible
ities; but at no time during the conflict
that existed in this country from 1851 to
1863, did he ever lose his hope, or courage
or despair of the republic. Though com
ing to the administration of the high
trust that had been reposcd in him by the
people, at time when the future ex
istence of the republic was doubted by
many, he never faltoted in his devotion to
the Union or in his loyalty to the soldiers
in the field. He resolutely declared that
ours WAS govcrnmont OF the people, and
must not perish; that il had the power.
the strength and the force to preserve its
own existence, its own life. and the con
sttutional right to compel obedience to
its laws
He was a statesman in its broadcast and
truest sense; and there is no name more
worthy of honor and fame than that of

Endless Chains.

Grover Cleveland, in his assumed
capacity of public servant with the entire
country upon his hands, has ever been
found loquacious whenever the subject of
endless chain was mentioned in his
presence. Whenever cog slipped, part
of the machinery broke down, the safety
valve blew out or the engineer was
caught in the draft and swept up the nue
in short whenever the craft rolled
crankily and the flood gained upon the
pumps and the crew fell into mutiny and
the breakers roared and the sands grated
under the keel, Commander Cleveland
strutted about the quarter deck and yelled
"cndless chain above the shricks of the
strident gale.
He never seemed to think it necessary
to explain what motive power there
might be for this endless chain, and those
who heard his muttcrings think it
needless to ask such utterly superfluous
questions for they well know by this time
that wheels in the head are mighty force
in the dynamics Of endless chains in gen
eral and this one in particular. But as
to endless chains Grover had not a word
to say Suffice for man of one idea was
one endless chain. Then he doubtless
found it easier to attribute all Ills includ
ing scurvy Of the crew, to one endless
chain than to apportion them among
several. OF course this did not do away
with the fact that there were more than

The People are ior Reed.
(SpringileId Mon. J

The Republican state committees of
New York and Ohio have each passed
resolves indorsing their respective favoritt
sons, Mckinley and Morton, and the
managers of the campaigns Of each are
loudly boasting that their candidate is
the legitimate legatee of the estate of
Benjamin Harrison. The gongs are he
ing sounded and the trumpots beat, and
to those close to the respective bands ii
must sound as if the whole country were
in accord for their candidate. But is it
so? Who is the man who is directing the
House of Representatives? Who is it that
has engineered measures through the
lower House which if passed by the Senate
and signed by the President would rid
this country OF its deficit, would bring
back the prosperity of few years ago.
Who is 1t that stands today head and
shoulders above any of his contemporaries: /:
lt is Thomas B. Reed of Maine. Who are
bis followers? Not the politicians, but
the people, and when the convention is
held in st. Louis, the people who love and
honor him will be there in force to help
nominate him. If this is u true republic,
the peoples will shall sway the conven,
tons, and we believe that the will of the
people is that the man from Maine, the
successor of James G. Blaine, shall be the

Senator Perkins, when he was the
popular governor Of California fifteen or
sixteen years ago, had the usual expert
ence of popular politicians in the way of
people naming their boys after him In
stead of enclosing a dollar bill and com
pliments to the ambitious parents he
wrote congratulatory letters in which he
promised to look after the future of those
namesakes to the extent of a college edu-

would be forgotten. But now that he is

Presidential Electors Must all be
Chosen in State Convention.
HEADQUARTERS
REPUBLICAN, STATE COMMITTEE,
AUGUSTA. MAINE, JAN. IS, 1896.

To the Republicans of Mane:-Prior to 1892
two Presidential electors at large, correspond
ing to the two United states senators, were
nominated in State convention, and the re-
maining electors, corresponding to the mem
bers of the United states House of Represen-
Catives were nominated by the several con-
gressional district conventions.
The passage of the Australian Ballot law en-
tirely changed the pro, ,edure. Under the law,
all Conventions are portion of our election
system, and this ballot act requires that can
didates TO be voted for by the Voters through
out the whole state must be placed in nomi ma
tion by Convention representing no less a
constituency than the whole state. Hence, all
the candidates of a party for Presidential cleo
tors must be nominated in State Convention,
and have therefore included in the call six
electors.

As Seen by smaIIey.

LONDON, Nov. 3.-Mr. Smalley, the
American correspondent of the Times,
cables to that paper that he had long
interview with Mr.. Mckinley on Fri
day. Summarized, the interview shows
that Mr.. Mckinley takes high view
Of the electoral contest, in which he
believes that the real issue is between
those who would preserve the republic
and those who would destroy it, re-
placing it by a different form of gov
eminent and different form of society,".
He is and Will remain a convinced pro-
tectionist, but Mr.. Smalley does not
think that a new tariff any longer
seems to him the only view necessary
of American industry. 1t is Mr.. Nc
Kinley's conviction that every obliga-
ton of the. United States ought to be
paid Whe4 it natures, in the best
money existing at the time. He is ap-
parently not affected by the dislike of
Great Britain, which is supposed to
exist in the middle states and has no
faith in jealousy or hostility as the
handspring OF national policy. He con-
siders the extent and force of the al
legged western luminosity toward Great
Britain to be much overrated.
Mr.. Smalley remarks that all doubt
concerning the result of the election in
New York has vanished.

DANCES OF NATIONS.
WHY NEW CREATIONS IN THE ART
GENERALLY FAIL.
can Association of Professors
Have Had Their Convention and
Have Added Many Tributes to
Terpsichore.

NEW YORK, Oct 3O.-Every year a
number of agile and graceful gentle
men composing the American associa-
ton OF professors of dancing come to-
gether, and after deep thought and
considerable wrangling, of course, in a
most polite way, decide what the fash
ionable dances will be for the ensuing
year. Each one of these gentlemen is
an inventor of the terp6ichorsan order
and he attends the conclaVe equipped
with deliberately drawn diagrams of the
dance with which he expects to convulss
society later on.
In nine cases out of ten this dance
is never heard of again, although it
may receive the richest possible en-
dorsement of the American Association
OF the Professors of Dancing. The fault
is not with the association. The mem
bers certainly recognize a graceful
dance when they see it; the trouble lies
with the public.
The association has just held its an
nual meeting for 1885, ana some teIpSi-
cnorean wonders are ready to be thrust
upon the dancing public The olnclal
titles Of these wonders are: 1.-The Har-
ward Caprice" the 'tX-Ray Lancier.,
the Hanover Quadrille," the Esprit
d Amerique," the Waltz Two-Step,"
and La CZarina.'' 1t will be a matter
OF interest for those who pay attention
to such things to memorize these titles
and then observe how popular they be-
come during the approaching winter
season.
One of the members of the assoc.a-
ton was asked by the writer to explain
the failure Of SO many of the dances to
become popular, and he answered.
Lack of originality" This was frank,
but it must not be supposed that the
dancing masters are devoid Of ingenu-
ity. When it is Remembered than dane

CAHTO, Cal, Nov. 3.-The half-cre-
mated body of John Mudgett,
wealthy rancher of Usal, was found
yesterday in the embers of his half
burned home at that place by w. H.
Davis, neighbor. Mudgett lived alone
on an immense tract of land. He was a
reputed hoarder of wealth, and it was
rumored that he had money stored
about the house. His body bore unmis-
taxable evidence of death by violence
before the flames reached him. Both

The house had been fired and the con-
hagration had been extinguished by
lack OF draft. Kerosene oil had been
used to start the fire, as two cans hur-
riedly picked open with a hatchet
were among the partial ruins.
That Midget met foul play seems an
assured fact, since the discovery that
