In that particular year it happened
that the national political convention
Of which we are speaking was held in
some other to1n than Chicago, aud the
place was crowded.
This is how Il came to pass that Colo

prominent citizen OF the republic and
had not taken the precaution TO engage
a room beforehand. found himself shut

choose lodgings from a list Of eligible
private dwellings.

A Talk With Advertisers.

We earnestly invite every merchant
to read the following sensible and timely
article, copied from the st. Adams
Messenger:
In the olden days of New England
journalism, merchants, business and
professional men, artificers, and, in
short, all the representatives of the in
dustrial world that were gathered in the
small communities used to advertise in
the local newspaper because they
thought they ought to contribute some
thing toward its support. There was
little or no local competition in trade.
One store of kind was the prevailing
rule and more frequently this r solved
itself into the general store" that kept
everything from herrings to eyeglasses
As for outside competition, it was not
even dreamed of. The merchant vas
secure in the knowledge that the people
about him must come to his store for
the necessities and comforts of life, or
go without them. Advertising did not
mean anything more to him, then, than
fair contribution toward the support of
such local enterprise, as the weekly
newspaper. Everybody knew that to
start newspaper in the little towns of
Vermont say, in the early days of the
last century, or even later, was a
hazardous undertaking. 1t cost great
deal of money for those times to es-
tablish even the modest plant that was
absolutely necessary for the publication
of any newspaper, great or small. There
was little job work to be relied upon as
an auxiliary means of support, because
there was not life enough in the COM
munity, in IL business or social sense, to
create much of demand for job print
ing. And the sparsely settled commu-
mites of the times could not afford cir
culation enough for a newspaper to give
it support from that source. But men
realized that newspaper was good
thing for community to have. They
appreciated the fact that it was an edu-

New

Ring ,out the Old; Ring in the .
New.
We have Just had on our honiers
very Interesting aud exciting campaign
ia thu contest between VIM. T.. Chandler
aud Henry T.. Burnham for the office Of
senator from New Hampshire. IL j.
said Ia be- one Of the hardest fought hat
ties that New Hampshire ever knew
hat that is not the principal thing, nor
one Of the principal things which
make il worthy Of note. The exercise
of authority, especially for a considera-
ble length Of time. is apt to heget pre-
sumption, imperiousness, As we'll rs a
censorious criticism which in some in
stances become querulous. This seemed
Ia he somewhat the case with Senator
Chandler. The common people as .
rule are Jealous Of man who exercises
authority LAS SUCH" aud they were sils-
piciuus that Chandler was so doing. \
prominent politician, Frank Jones,
modestly left the democratic party a
short time ago because of his adherence
TO the various silver element in the
party, and came professedly with no po-
litical designs into the republican fold.
lie must have heard the recent blinking
of silver about the person of the senator,
but Notwithstanding that he came boldly
to his support. This excited the jeal-
ousy of the common people and they
feared that in that obscene embrace some
sinister design would he engendered.
Besides the senator had in many in
stances lost his temper and with it his
dignity. He had INDUCED in angry
controversies with his associates, and
many candid thinking people thought
that man who had no better control
of himself than to be constantly taken
off his feet 10y bitter personal conten-
lions was not the man TO have control of
the destinies of The people of New
Hampshire. All these things, together
with many other influences, gradually
alienated the people from the senator.
But his prestige was so great, and his
audacity and courage so impressive that
such alienation did not show on the
surface as great as it was. But when
the young element got down to Concord
and were warmed and treasured by com.
munion with itself the opposition began
TO show itself in increasing proportions
up to the time of halloting in caucus. II
was really an uprising of the young and
most enterprising sentiments of the
state against a man who with his at
tendant designs had excited the jealousy
of his following; and in a general way
it was youth against age, the new push
ing out of the old, and the current o.
the times rushing against strong mar
who had too often defied it. OF course
the strength of New Hampshire's in
nuence in the senate will be mucl
lessened for a long time by the result o
this election, but if an unexceptional oil
man in Vermont cannot withstand TIN
impatient currents of young blood il
this state how can an old man in New
Hampshire hope to withstand lik'

are both good men and have perfect
right to be candidates if they choose,
but we see no earthly reason why the
present collector, Col. L. NJ. Mansur,
should not be re-appointed for the next
four years. He has made capable
official and the only excuse for the op-
position to his appointment comes from
the fact that somebody else wants the

If it is a fact that Gov. Pingree and
Commissioner Prouty are candidates for
Col. Mansur's place, times will be lively,

as collector of customs i'll the Memphre-

may have the itching palm, but Prouty
already holds down job which is big
ger in elnouments, in honors and OPP
portunities than the colectorship. 1t is
hardly probable that he cares for the
office. The hullabaoo was general
against ousting Merrill in the Vermont
district. The reasons advanced for his
continuance in office seem to apply with
equal force to Collector Mansur. Only a
venturesome man will throw down the
gauntlet to Mansur.-Ve Vermont Phoenix
