The schley-sampson Controversy.

The Schley-sampson controversy.
President Roosevelt's decision on
the appeal Of Admiral Schley from the
decision of the court of inquiry, ex-
presses briefly, in plain English, de-
void OF teehniealities, what we believe
is the sentiment of a great majority
of the American people. 1t is the
most sensible, most American utter
ance on the matter since the un-
fortunate Sehley- Sampson contro-
versy began.
In effect he says it was captains
battle; sampson was technically in
command; schley, with Capt. Cook
OF the 1Brooklyn", deserves his part
of the credit for what the Brooklyn
did In the fight; neither one or the
other did anything in the battle that
merited unusual reward; now let this
controversy end.
To quote the President more fully
as to the credit due either in the
battle:

Next MONDAYS Election.

In spite OF the fact that there is
absolutely no local issue between
the republican and democratic par
ties in this municipal campaign, two
party tickets have been nominated,
and each party is appealing to its
members to be loyal. 60
From a party standpoint there
seems to Us to be no reason why this
appeal should not be responded to.
Mr.. Greedy, the standard bearer of the
democrats, is up for fourth term.
In 1899 republicans enough voted
with the democrats to elect him; in
1900 there was no candidate against
him; in 1901 again republicans enough
voted With the democrats once more
to elect him. That is to say, some
motive stronger than that Of loyalty
to party Influenced considerable
number of republican votes in these
years.
Mr. Greedy is again candidate.
Against him is Harry L. Crabtree, an
ambitious and exemplary young man,
a member of the Hancock county bar,
who frankly and openly announces
his desire and intention of entering
politics He has no quarrel with his
opponents, except that they are
democrats, and he believes that il his
appeal to his party is loyalty re-
sponded to, he can administer the
affairs of this city successfully and
satisfactorily.
This is straightforward appeal,
made In a manly way. If the repub-
hcans respond to it, Mr.. Crabtree will
be elected, because in Ellsworth there
are more republicans than there are
democrats.
The issue is clear and distinct; it is,
briefly: shall the next administration
be republican or democratic? Up to
date the present administration has
not been called upon to defend its
work because it has not been at
tackled This fact in itself simplifies
the situation, and brings out in clear
relief the real and only issue-that of
Nparty supremacy in Ellsworth munic-
ipal affairs.
The two tickets are in the field;
their personnel is perfectly well
known. Each party has nominated
men for the various offices whom it
regards as entirely worthy of support.
Republicans, do your duty! Vote the
republican ticket; an appeal to our
friends the enemy is wholly unneces-
sary. We can win without some of
them, while they cannot win without
some of Us.
