The Presidents Letter of Accepta!

The Presidents Letter of Acceptance.
President Roosevelt's letter of ac-
ceptance of the republican nomina
ton, made public last week, besides
being mastery production per Sc, is
one of the best campaign documents
that have appeared thus far during
the progress of the campaign.
He reviews every issue now before
the people in simple but vigorous Ian
guage, and is unsparing of the
democracy for insincerity in its
attitude on most public questions.
He lays great stress upon the ne
cessity for continuing the protective
tariff, and replies to the democratic
demand for reduction by declaring
that If protection be robbery" at its
highest point, it is equally SO when
reduced. The President is equally
virile in his handling of the other
subjects traversed in his letter.
1t is mastery paper, and it
should be revelation to those who
have been deceived as to the oharac-
ter of Theodore Roosevelt. Instead
of the war lord, they viii find in him
the man of peace; instead of the
usurper, the scrupulous observer Of
the constitution and the law; instead
of the impulsive and headlong exec
utive, the wise and far-sighted
administrator, and they will find in
him, what the democrats lack and fol
what they are crying leader who
| leads.

1t seems absolutely impossible to
satisfy our democratic friends, no mat
ter what may be the condition OF bnsi-
ness, the condition OF the treasury, or
any of the various other conditions
connected with our government and
its people.
1t is only a few years since they
were terribly alarmed over the sur
plus in the United States treasury.
Mr.. Cleveland, particularly in his ia
nous free trade message of 1887,
called attention TO the great surplus
which we then had and which was be-
ing augmented annually, and in re-
Spouse to that message the republican
party enacted the Mckinley law, and
our excess receipts were considerably
cut down In the following two or three
years.
Again after the close of the Spanish
war, when the account had been set
tied and our receipts were beginning
to exceed our expenditures by nearly
s10o, 900 annually, the republican
party twice reduced the taxation, re-
sulting in decrease of revenue of
considerably more than 500, 600. 900,
and yet surplus has continued from
year to year, and Uncle's Sans bal
ance has always been on the right
side.
But now we are confronted with
what seems to be slight deficit.
although it is by no means certain
that by the end of the fiscal year we
shall not come out with balance to
our credit in the United States
treasury.
Bot the slight deficit of July and
August forms very fruitful theme for
the democratic editors, who evidently
desire to drop the great issues of tho
campaign and harp upon the iDsig-
nificant result of our receipts and ex-
penditures.
To begin with, the declaration that
we had deficit of over $40, 900, 900
during the last fiscal year is mislead-
ing, If not positively false. The ex-
penditure of $50, oo0, 900 in payment
toward the Panama canal alone ac-
counted for that apparent deficit, and
was simply an investment, much the
same as a man in prosperous times
would withdraw few hundred dol
lars from his bank account in order to
put an addition on his house.

ize his tremendous influence in Con-
gress.
We here listen to ecomiums on him
by such fluent speakers as Senator
Beveridge and Congressman Little
field and Gardner, scarcely realizing
that what they say is anything mcrs
than complimentary, while the fact is
that whatever they may say is more
likely to fall short of true estimate
of his worth.
The other striking characteristic OF
the election is the apparently wide
difference of opinion on enforce
ment. Six counties chose democratic
sheriffs-some, as in Cumberland, for
the avowed purpose of continuing
policy of regulation rather than en-
forcement; others, as In Hancock, for
the avowed purpose of stricter en-
forcement.
This peculiar result, without prece-
dent in the States history, suggests
condition Of things that will need the
serious consideration of the legisla-
ture. Lincoln said that the nation
could not exist hale slave and half
free; Maine cannot maintain it's
dignity half enforcement and half
notification. il is not easy to see the
way out of the difficulty into which
the voters have placed themselves.

NATIONAL Election, nov. s, 1901.
The Recent Election


Now that the smoke of the recent
battle of the ballots in Maine has
cleared away, two striking character
istics are very clearly to be seen. One
is the attitude of the State towards
President Roosevelt and the present
administration; the other is the APP
parently wide differences of opinion
in various sections OF the State re-
garding enforcement.
AS to the first, the attitude of the
State is unmistakable; it unequivo-
eally endorses the administration, and
does it in the face of the most deter
mined opposition on the part of the
democrats that has been encountered
for years.
It was natural to expect that against
a united democracy, the republican
plurality, as compared with that OF
1902 and 1900, would show marked
falling off. Weil-informed republi-
cans did not predict Mr.. Cobb's plu-
rality above 5000.
But long before the full returns
were in, it was perceived that this
years republican plurality was likely
to equal that of 1902. And yet in the
congratulatory despatch which Chair
man Simpson sent to the President on
the night of the 18th, he modestly set
the figures at more than 25,000".
1 ha 0afd.
Maine has to-day sounded the trumpet blast
which leads TO republican national victory. We
have carried the state against united democracy
by mere than 5000; twenty-six OF the thirty
one members OF the Senate and four ffths of
the members Of the House which will return to
the United States Senate Hon. Eugene Hale.
The people of The Pine Tree State with you
and for you.
And in his despatch to MIR. Cortel-
you, chairman of the national com
mittee, on substantially the same
lines, he said:
The voters Of Maine have to-day expressed
their emphatic approval Of the politics of the
republican party both State and national, and
the splendid administration OF President Roose-
welt. Fer the first time since 1892 we have met
persistent and united democracy amt have csr-
rfed the State for William T. Cobb, our canai-
date for governor, by over 25.ooo as against
1850 In 1892. We have elected the entire dele
CATION in Congress by large msiorities. We
have elected twenty six Of the thiriy-one men,
hers Of the House. which insu-es the reelection
of hon. Eugene Hale to the United States Sen
ate. AS goes Maine so goes the Union.
The complete returns, showing a
plurality of nearly $1,000, amply JUS
tilted Dir. simpsons congratulatory
dispatches, for the result shows that
however much the republicans may
have split on town and county issues,
they are a unit as regards both the
affairs OF State and nation.
1t win be observed that neither OF
these dispatches fails to note that the
result assures the reelection of Sena-
tor Hale an assurance which nobody
at home really needed because there
was al no time any doubt about it;
but to other sections of the country,
less familiar with local conditions than
with Senator Hase's great worth to the
country, the news brought sense OF
relief and satisfaction, for the
though full people of the country real

>Col. Breckenridge Dead.

Col. w. G. P. Breckinridge, the
lawyer, the orator, the statesman,
the editor, the friend, died at his
home in Lexington, Saturday night,
of paralysis, in his 9th year. In his
death passes away the most brilliant
mind of the South, yes, of these
United States. His memory will long
live in the hearts of his many friends
in this county.
He was the son of the noted Pres
byterian preacher, DR.. Robert j.
Breckenridge, and brother of Gen.

more recently Major General of Vol
unteers in the war with Spain and
Inspector General of the United
S6ates Army. He was also cousin
of General John G. Breckenridge,
once Vice President of the United
States.
He was married three times. His
first wife was Mrs. Lucretia H. Clay,
a granddaughter of Henry Clay; his
second wife was Mrs. Irsa Desha,
and the present Mrs. Breckenridge is
his cousin, Mrs. Louise Scott Wing,
the widow of Ramsay Wing, former
ly United States Minister to Ecuador.
Col. Breckinridge's only son, Desha
Breckenridge, is As years of age and
has been associated with his father in
the practic of law. His daughter,
Miss Sophonisby P. Breckenridge,
who was the only woman ever
admitted to the bar Of Lexington,
KY, or to practice before the Court
of Appeals of this state. His young
est daughter is Miss Curry Breckin-
ridge, of Boston.
Yesterday afternoon the remains of
Col. Breckenridge were laid to rest in
the Lexington Cemetery. The frlner-
al services were held at the first
Presbyterian church at o'clock. DIR.
