said:
He had learned from Lincoln tolerance.
patience, charity. faith in his country and
in his fellow-men and sublime faith in God.
He took the world as he found 1t and work.
ed with things as they were.
ITO him, as to the sternest of Puritans,
the line which divides right and wrong was
as narrow a hair, as high as heaven, as
eternal as the stars.

and an inspiration to every college in the
land. 1t should impress upon the minds OF
all patriotic Americans profound sense of
the supreme Importance of the college to

Notes of the Political Campaign.

Hon. Charles E. Littlefield will speak
at Hebron. Monday afternoon, Aug. q,
at 2 80 o'clock.
Candidate Davis didn't make quite the
hit that he at first thought he had, when
in the course of his speech at Rumford
Falls on the 10th, he produced three bot
ties of whiskey which had been pur-
chased "under his personal supervision
in as many different places in that town
that afternoon. It appears that the
liquor was purchased by resident of
the town who was known to the dealers,
so that it is not by any means demon
strated that there il an open shop in the
town, or that stranger could procure
liquor there. But the most striking
point about the proceeding is that the
two Democratic deputy sheriffs of Rum
ford, to whom first belonged the duty Of
enforcing the law against the sale of
liquor, sat on the stage with Mr.. Davis
a. he spoke, and were among those who
applauded loudest. The affair was
hailed at first as the great sensation Of
the campaign, but when people come to
consider it in all its bearings, they can't
seem to understand how It is going to
help the prospects of either the Demo-
cratic candidate for governor or the
Democratic sheriff who IL . candidate
for reelection.
