Let There Be a Fair Contest.
Madison State journal.

Madison State journal.
The senatorial campaign has thus
far been pretty we'll tempered. There
is evidence Of some little foolishness
cropping out that ought not to be
tolerated. For instance, n circular
has been issued opposing Mr.. Bah
cock, because of his alleged friend
Illness to the saloon interest in Wash
ington. This is an attack that will
be likely to help Mr.. Babcock more
than it will hurt him. An effort is
being made to prejudice the public
against Mr.. Stephenson on account
Of his great wealth. This, too, is al
together unworthy and indefensible.
Mr.. Cook is opposed in some quar-
tiers becaused he Is supposed to have
the support Of u certain element Of
the party which is not very popular
legislatures This is not a legit-
innate objection to him. He should
be judged upon his merits and be
given such support as he is en-
titled 20 by reason Of his fitness. 1t
Is charged that Mr.. Quarles, while
in the legislature long ago, advocated
establishing the whipping post for
tranps, and that ne is therefore not
IN sympathy with the lower and I'M
fortunate classes. and ought not to
be elected 70 represent the state in
the senate. All this foolishness
shold be dropped. The candidates
are all gentlemen. None Of them
are perfect, and their qualifications
are Of q widely different order.

Constituents Should Know.

According to latest reports from
the state capital it has not yet been
decided whether to have an open or
a secret ballot in the senatorial eau
Gus. There is no more important
duty before the Legislature than the
election of a United State senator.
The people throughout the state are
deeply interested in this matter, and
have the right to know if they have
been properly and faithfully served
by their representatives. 1t is there
fore readily conceived that the vote
on this question should be an open
one. No representative is acting for
himself in this matter, and an ex-
change was right in saying, "An hon
est man il always willing to have
his vote known. A dishonest one
should be compelled to make it
known Let the ballot be an open
one by all means.

THE CARTHAGINIAN OF MAINE"

Lewiston Journal: Among the many
stories of Hamlin's early experiences in
the Maine Legislature, none is more ami
mated than his tilt with John Holmes,
interesting, besides, because it gives the
origin of the Carthaginian of Maine a
name that stuck to Hamlin through life.
Holmes had been in the United States
senate, and at this particular time, writes
General Hamlin, a meber of the state
house of representatives, was e~ndeavor-
ing to domineer over it. "Hamlin dis
puted the leadership with him, and
Holmes attempted to crush his young OPP
ponent by coarsely ridiculing his swarthy
complexion. Instantly Hamlin jumped
