Another Stanza of the Rally Son

Another Stanza of the Rally Song
Editor Democrat:
There was one other stanza at least ir
the Lincoln campaign song of 1850, be-
sides those given by Mrs. Canwell in last
weeks Democrat. As remember 1t II
came third in the song and was as fol
lows:
There's mutiny aboard the ship,
There's feud no force can smother;
Their blood is up to fever heat;
They are cutting down each other:
Buchanan here, and Douglas there,
Are belching forth their thunter,
While cunning rogues are sly at work
In pocketing the plunder.
Our Lincoln is the man;
Our Lincoln Is the man;
With sturdy mate,
From the Pine Tree State;
Our Lincoln is the man."

East Sumner.

Our thanks are due to the Democrat
and those South Paris parties who 80
kindly furnished the stirring rally song
of 1860. 1t is we'll to preserve these old
relics of the past. While we live in the
present, the past has it's useful lessons
and serves to guide us in the future.
Stephen C. Heald says that "John" is
| mistaken in his statement that Ex-Gov.
Washburn presided at that great rally,
and says that John j. Perry was the
presiding officer. However, that is i'm
material. 1t was a grand success any
way. "Old Abra'm" pas the man. Yet
how few of us then even thought of the
"irrepressible conflict" that was so soon
to culminate.
That terrible strife cost great loss OF
life and treasure, but how rich the re-
ward. To-day we are a united, prosper
Gus and loyal people without the black
stain of human slavery to blacken our
records. The human mind can hardly
conceive what might have been the re-
suit had our enemies triumphed. In
every emergency some one comes to the
rescue and our dire forebodings are
changed to jubilant rejoicings. Lincoln
,cdS the man.
Roosevelt is now the man, and Taft is
to be the man, unless political pointers
are greatly deceptive. With Fernald to
guide our own ship of state and Swasey
to represent us in our national affairs,
the future looks bright.
Old Maine stands foremost in the
galaxy of our states for attractive re-
sorts, grand forest, lake and mountain
scenery combined and Is destined to
make greater use of her innumerable
possibilities. To whom shall we give
credit for the great and increasing popu-
larity of the Pine Tree State as the great
Mecca for sportsmen, summer tourists
and pleasure seekers that annually leave
with us some 100000 dollarsP We
must say that il we were to discriminate
among the many and name only two
men who have done the most to call at
tention to our attractive features, the
names of Col. F. E. Boothby of the NJ.
C. R. R. and the Hon. E. P. Kicker Of
Poland Spring would be preeminent. a
After the inspiring and joyful words
"The ice has gone out" come the ap-
preciative words-"The Rangeley Lakes

environs every returning season. Yes,

If it is true, as reported by the daily
