The Republicans carried Maine Monday
bv a plurality OF about 5000. The vote
was much lighter than two years ago,
considering which the Republicans about
held their own. In Portland, Democrat
was elected sheriff by those who favor

This was the county IN which the late

In some other counties the same issue
prevailed, with varying results. Ihe
Republicans re-elect their four Con-
gressmen. and the legislature is strongly
Republican.

Mr.. Messer:-
The tidings Of the death Of Hon. Alpha

active participation in the affairs OF life.
Mr. Messer died at his late home IN
Rochester on Sunday morning, September

a heart trouble. His home was among the
hills of Windsor county, apart from the

TO have come from the place OF his conflict

publican state convention, apparently IN
his usual vigorous health and an interested
spectator Of the events Of that time. lie

Efforts to End Coal Strike Fail.

In spite of all predictions TO the con-
trary, the coal miners strike still contin-
ues, with no apparent prospect that il will
soon be over. Gov. Stone Of Pennsylvania
paid visit to New York the first OF the
week and held a conference with repre-
sentatiyes Of the mine owners, but with
out avail, so far as the public is informed.
j. Pierpont Morgan was asked to lend his
influence to end the strike, but declined.
Senator Platt still maintains that the
trouble will be over by the first OF next
week, and it is supposed he bases his pre-
diction on facts not generally known.
There have been some minor disturbances
in the strike region, and a few fatalities
have occurred as the result Of riots, but
nothing Of an alarming nature. The
troops are still on duty in the shenan-
doah section.

precludes his ever making his way to
the political front again. He realized
this fact a half dozen years ago at
least, and this has undoubtedly made
of him a thoroughly disappointed
man. In business and whatever of
social success he has desired he has
won the very highest measure of sue
cess, but his political career was ruth
lessly and forever cut short soon after
the second election of Cleveland to
the presidency. Mr.. Grace had been
of the Cleveland following, but a cog
slipped somewhere and there was
rupture, to Mr.. Grace's disadvantage.
The subsequent rise and dominance
of the Bryan element in the Demo-
cratic party confirmed the decline of
Grace, which was practically contem-
porary with w. c. Whitney's political
observation.
Although always a Democrat in pol
itics, Mr.. Grace has known practically
all the prominent American statesmen
and politicians of his time. With many
of the opposite party, notably James
G. Blaine. he has been on terms of the
closest intimacy.
Mr.. Grace's personal "reminiscences,
therefore. would be highly interesting
/ were he to publish them. They would
throw much illumination. from the
standpoint of the man of affairs, upon
the political history of the last quar-
| ter of the nineteenth century. and
! would be invaluable to the historian
of future years. That Mr.. Grace is act
ually putting his memories into manu-
script is we'll known to his friends, and
more than one publisher has tried to
secure the same for publication, but
, without success.
The fact is. however, that II the book
| is ever published, il will not be till
after the death of its author, for div
ers reasons of the first Importance to
| himself. AS a human document quite
aside from its political value it should
be of great interest, for 1t would be the
autobiography of a typical American
| citizen, who, beginning life at the bot
| tom as a runaway boy from Ireland,
though his family was wealthy, pulled
himself to the very top in everything
except politics by his own unaided eff
| feet. Duane.
