The New York Candidate.

Whatever may be the result of the C midi
dacy Of Governor Morton it is a candidacy
which brings honor to the state, and can
be regarded with complacency by democrats
as well as by republicans. II Mr.. Cleveland
and his accomplices, in filching populist
principles and renouncing democratic pol
itics, have made present Of the presidency
to the republicans there is no republican in
whom conservative democrats, sick of the
lying tariff and the fool finance of the last
three years, and fearful of intentional am
biguity or weak yielding to the silver men
on the part of both parties, would feel a
greater confidence than in Mr.. Morton.
Governor Morton has had long career in
business as well as in politics. Intelligence,
integrity, sound sense, and clear judg-
ment are his characteristics By the use Of
them he has risen to a commanding place in
the world of business and they have illus
trated his tenancy of high political posts.

Dingley as Reed Sees Him.

A Sun Washington special says:
"Speaker Reed, discoursing the other
night concerning the personal peculiar
ity of his friend and spokesman in the
house, Hon. Nelson Dingley, Jr., chair
man of the committee on ways and
means, said: Now you know Dingley
has got the smallest head of any man in
the house of representatives., but it is
chock full of useful information and
nothing else. There is not an atom of
waste room in it, and all his brain is
given up to business. Dingley never
did anything that was not useful in all
his life. When he lay in his cradle he
was thinking out problems in Euclid,
and when he was boy he found more
pleasure in studying his lessons than he
did in play. l am told by veracious
persons who knew Dingley in his youth
that his mother used to drive him out
to play with a broomstick, and forbid
him to study more than. ten hours day.
Dingley has no humor. He has no ca
pacity for the enjoyment of what the
rest of the world calls pleasure. His
social instincts are not developed. Why,
Dingiey would rather take stubby old
lead pencil and figure out on the back
of an envelope what rate of duty the
Romans imposed on Persian wool than
sit on narrow sofa in a dark room
with pretty girl"

The Campaign.

Maine held its state convention April
Is, to elect delegates to ST. Louis. An
almost unparalleled fervor of sentiment
was centered about the name of Hon.
Thomas Bracket Reed, who was the
unanimous choice of the convention as
the candidate for president of the United
States. In fact there was no one to be
found among ell the delegates from
whom the slightest reference to Reed
did not call forth a demonstration of
some sort. Reed buttons and badges
were everywhere to be seen, and from
Hon. Joseph Fl. Manley, who called
the convention TO order, to the least
prominent delegates present, there was
an apparent desire to enter into COM
petition to show who could cheer the
loudest for the favorite candidate. The
convention was the largest that ever
assembled in Portland, every dele
cation being filed.
In old Kentucky resolutions oppos-
ing the free and unlimited coinage of
silver and favoring the gold standard
were adopted. A protective tariff and
vigorous foreign policy are advocated.
The resolutions express sympathy with
the Cuban insurgents and endorse Gov
ernor Bradley as presidential candi-
date.
In New Jersey the convention left it
to the discretion of the delegates to
vote the preference of New Jersey in
the national convention. Hon. Garrett
A. Hobert was endorsed as candidate
for the second place on the ticket. The
convention was for sound money and
protection. Mckinley was apparently
the favorite of the delegates. Strong
speeches were made in his favor and
the mention of his name was received
with tumulLuous demonstrations.

ment, it is regarded as probable that
adjournment will occur somewhere in
the neighborhood of May 15.-Wash-
ington correspondent.
OUR Washington correspondent
writes: "Mr. Cleveland has paid suffi-
cient Difference to those Cuban resolu-
tons to ask Spain to accept the media
ton Of the United States in negotiating
with the Cuban insurgents for peace;
but, according to current gossip, he
doesn't wish Spain to agree and doesn't
expect it. According to stories whis-
pered in inside circles, Ex-Secretary
Whitney has persuaded Mr.. Cleveland
that the only salvation of the demo-
cratic party lies in working up feeling
towards war with Spain. The offer
to mediate is made for the purpose of
convincing the world that the admins
tration favors a peaceable settlement
and will only resort to other methods
when Spain refuses to entertain media
ton, and to gain time. War is not
wanted now; it might be all over before
the meeting of the democratic national
convention, not to mention the Novem-
Der election. 1t is deep game to take
advantage of the general sympathy of
this country for Cuba to boost up the
tottering democratic party, and to 60
into it was necessary for Mr.. Cleveland
to 60 against his real wishes, as he had
been from the first apparently on the
side of Spain"

WEDNESDAY, APRIL %, 1896.
Senator morrill, at Eighty-Six.

Justin S. Morrill, is a name that has
been familiar to the public ear and the
public eye for forty years. 1t is a name
that is now spoken with respect and
generation the country over, and it is a
name that has always stood for all that
is pure and worthy in private lite, all
that is honorable, progressive and pa
triotic in public life. His name is con-
spicuously associated with national
legislation of benefcent kind-with
laws that produced the sinews of war
when the country was struggling with
the great rebellion, with laws that in
times of peace have made for the best
and wisest economic and financial in
terests of the nation. The country
merchant who was elected to the thirty
fourth congress, without having served
an apprenticeship in the state legisla-
ture, is to-day synonym for wise and
practical craftsmanship. This man,
eighty-six years old on the fourteenth
of April, is still in active public SER
vice, his mental powers undimmed,
and his physical strength equal to the
task of receiving and entertaining the
several hundred people that called to
do him honor and present their con-
gratulations. Among the number were
the distinguished of his own and for.
eipn cOuntries Letters and messaOea
came to him from all parts of the land,
from press and people, without distinc-
ton of politics. Vermont was honored
by these tributes to her distinguished
son, and the parent was not unmindful
of the honors.

The Situation Grows Worse.

The heartrending words contained in
the letter of the Cuban General Gomez
to Estrada Palma should hasten Mr.
Cleveland's action on the Cuban resolu-
ton if he has blood in his veins. Spain,
says General Gomez, has drenched the
fair land of Cuba with the blood of her
own children. Cuba to-day. as in 1868,
presents to view only pools of blood
dried by contiagrations. These hoI-
rors exist almost within sight of our
coast. Mr., Cleveland cannot afford to
remain quiescent much longer. The
situation grows more unbearahle day
by day.-Journal (Dem.) New York.

Trouble Ahead.

Editor Of Watchman:-- 1t is possible
the campaign for governor may make
trouble in certain directions. Here is
the Free Press, in a recent issue, assert
ing for Josiah Grout that, if elected,
l would not appoint any OF my broth
ers to the United States senate, but
would let the people act directly upon
any candidacy they or any of them
might urge for the Office" What in
the world does the Major mean by the
last clause-that he Wouldn't appoint
anybody to fill out vacancy? How
could he let "the people act directly
upon any candidacy" By petition,
remonstrance, letters, decree of the
courts? The fact is, this is an illustra-
ton of the tight corners politicians are
frequently driven into, where it takes
mighty hard squeezing to get out.
Those most deeply in interest had
hoped that CIRCUITS "turn" would slip
him into the governorship without such
ugly suggestions % necessitated this
mixed.up avowal. If nothing had been
said, and Josiah had been made gov
ernor, and vacancy had occurred in
the United States senate, no man but
W. W. Grout would have received that
appointment, and no one more than
the Grouts regrets the existing muddle
And here is what / meant by saying
the campaign for governor NAV make
trouble in certain directions. Dollars
to dimes, Congressman Grout would
much rather Josiah would not have iu-
sisted on his " turn" And here are
certain reasons for the faith within me /:
In case of Josiah's success, and va
cancy occurring, w. WIS chances
would be lessened, and he sees it.
Again, Josiah as governor is going TO
hurt the Congressman's denomination,
for the "family" ought not to have the
earth and the fullness thereof. 1t will
not be many moons before some able
man in CIRCUITS district will try titles
with him in dead earnest; and the sue
cesses of the Major will lessen the
chances for the General. This is what
/ mean by saying the campaign for
governor may make trouble in certain
directions, and these military gentle
men find their political artillery sud-
denly spiked. The campaign has thus
