STATE OF MAINE.
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT.

1t has ever been the custom of our
Christian Commonwealth. at the close of
the harvest season, to call upon her peo-
pie to render thanks and praise to God.
for His many mercies to His dependent
children.
We continue to enjoy the priceless bless
ngs of free government The principles
OF. civil and religious liberty, and respect
for law National and State authority,
still prevail throughout our favored land.
Providence has dealt kindly with our
beloved State, her people and her institu-
tlons, and there is abundant reason for
Offering thanks. / therefore, with the
advice of the Executive Council, designate

THE CELEBRATION.
Secretary of State.

In spite of the muddy condition of
the streets last evenings celebration
was a most gratifying success and in
every way creditable to the earnest
efforts of the gentlemen who had it
in charge. Our citizens generally ap-
peared to imbibe the spirit of the oc-
casion and made extra efforts to dec
crate and illuminate their homes. The
parade was a large one, admirably
handled and made a fine appearance.
The music of the bands was inspiring:
there were fireworks and speeches;
and cheers and the ubiquitous small
boy with his horn. Every one seemed
to join in the general jubilation. 1t
was a celebration worthy of the VIC
terry that inspired it, and worthy of
the city of Augusta whose citizens
lent their best endeavors to make
success.
A pleasing feature of the occasion
was the hearty reception given Hon.
j. ii. Manley, who arrived home on
the evening train, fresh from his ar
1.l, he hao
quarters of the Republican national
committee in New York City. The
speech of Hon. II. M. Heath. welcom-
ing Mr.. Manley home. was in his
best vein and Mr. Manley's response
was most happy. The large crowd in
attendance bore cheerful testimony of
their appreciation of the valuable
work done by Mr. Manley in advanc-
ing the great cause of a stable cur
rency, and national honor.
1t was pleasing to note. along the
iiiiC VI HlttItil, ucNOIdtiOuS ana llluII11-
nations by people who, prior to this
year, have never affiliated with the
Republican party. 1t emphasized the
fact that the late campaign was one
of principle rather than Of party, il
was alsoa cheerful reminder of the fact
that in times of serious crisis. when
the future of the republic is en-.
dangered, patriotism may always be
depended upon to rise superior te
passion and prejudice.
We believe that this very successful
ana memorable celebration will prov,
benefit not only to our city. but t,
an who participated in it.

Popocratic lmposters.

Chairman Jones rant about his devo-
ton to the plain people was the
cheapest kind of demagogism. The
plain people" of this country know
that Mr.. Jones did not accumulate his
handsome property in the sweat of his
own brow. but from the unpaid toll of
his negro slaves. What heart can such
a man have for the working men and
women of this country? 1t is absurd
for man like him. who has never been
in position to understand the needs of
the masses.to undertake to pose as
their special champion. 1t is not sur
prising, perhaps, that he has persistent
ly underestimated both the intelligence
and the attainments of the plain peo-
ple' of the country. from the fact that he
has never been at any period of his life
in the slightest touch or sympathy with
them.
There appears, too, to have been a
general impression abroad that Mr.
Bryan was the development of one of
Whittier's barefoot boys But such
is not the case. Lawyer Bryans path
of life was never thorny or laborious
one. The son of a prom
inent and prosperous attorney
from his childhood all the comforts and
most of the luxuries of life. He never
knew burdens of toll and privation,
that he has SO often deplored in well
rounded sentences and striking meta
phors. His lines were cast in pleasant
places. He was a prosperous city boy
His knowledge of agriculture is wholly
theoretical, for he probably never hoed
hill of corn, or dug a peck Of potatoes
in his whole life. His father paid his
way through college and a law school.
He Immediately settled into what would
tion. lucrative practice. But Mr..
Bryan had too many strings to his bow.
Side issues submerged him. His heart
was not in his profession. and he
shirked the close and persistent drudg-
cry necessary to attain success in it,
He had little power of close application,
and though he was possessed of great
vital force and restless energy, it
| sought vent in political channels
t1,n, Ia &c.
sion. He soon gained a reputation of
being an impractical man, lacking in
| business capacity and shrewdness;
man of sentimental and emotional
character, swayed by his impulses. and
singularly lacking in powers of pene-
tration and foresight. He never knew
how to drive good bargains for him
self or his clients. He was conspicu-
ously destitute of business sagacity.
AS result of this popular estimate
of him, although he made a comfortable
living, he was never able to attain a
very large or very lucrative practice.
and. after his retirement from Con-
gress whittier he had been borne on the
crest of Populist billow, he was glad
to practically abandon it for an editori-
al position paying $50 week.
1t was not until he wanted to get into
political life that Mr.. Bryan suddenly
blossomed into most vehement chain
plon OIL what he was pleased to call
the plain people," and he has been
paying the role ever since. The man
is consummate actor, and it must be
admitted that he took the part exceed :
lnsiy well. People who had never read

imagination to weave poverty colored

DAY OF THANKSGIVING AMI
PRAISE

Refraining on that day from all un-
necessary labor and business, let us, in
the temples of worship, and at the family
fireside, offer grateful tributes of praise
and song, for Gods. gracious favors.
And in the reunions of families, kindred
and friends, may the love of home and the
affection for our Commonwealth be
strengthened and may the sincerity of
our thankfulness and gratitude find ex-
preston in deeds of charity and kindness,
towards the poor and unfortunate.
Given at Augusta, this fourth day of
November, in the year of our Lord

ninety-six, and of the Independence
of the United States of America

PREPARING THEM TO TEACH.
Rev. MIR. Daugherty Proposes to Send
Out Missionarics-TheN New Church.

Rev. John w. Daugherty. when seen
late yesterday afternoon by a Dispatch
reporter, said that he had kept himself
within the house all day, and was taking
a much-needed rest The public interest
in the Fulton-church trouble, he said,

one of those wonders" which. accord
ing to the saying. lasted nine days, and
the time expired at midnight. He said he
and his people intended 70 80 on with the
work started, and that as soon as some
persons could be instructed they would
be sent out TO teach the Gospel.
''You mean in this city?' he was asked.
Both in this city and out of it," re-
piled the pastor.
Your missionaries will preach the doc
trine of sanctilicaticn, as believed by
you and your followers?" the reporter
asked.
They will preach the Gospel, which
cannot be done without that" Mr.. Daugh-
erty said.
Work upon the new church had not
been commenced yesterday, and the pas
tor said he did not know why. He was
going to leave others to attend TO that
part of the work. The building, he said,
would be very simple in design, and
ornamentation and comfort would not -
