An earnest effort is being made at
the present time to save the Trotting
park property for permanent recre-
alton park and playground. How
much this property has contributed to
the pleasure of the people of our city
or how much it means to our city
especially now when the electric roads
have put it in easy touch with large
section of country of which it is the
natural center-can scarcely be APP
preciated. Its loss would be irrepar-
able. The property has been offered
for the purposes of a public athletic
and recreation park upon the basis of
its assessed valuation $4,000 AS
Mayor Plaisted stated in his admirable
speech before the Board of Trade
Thursday evening about $1,000 of that
amount had been raised. Subscrip-
tions secured yesterday brought this
amount up to $4,000. 1t is therefore
necessary to raise $4,000 additional in
order to insure the amount necessary
to complete this purchase. The COM
mittee reports that the people of our
city are thoroughly interested in the
securing of this property. and nearly
everyone is showing "a disposition to
identify himself with the movement
The shares in this property will be 10
each. The company will be regularly
incorporated under the laws of Maine,
and all stock issued will be fully paid
up and worcestershire.
The work before us this fall is that
of raising enough money to save this
property Even the sale of single
house lot upon it would spoil it for
park purposes for all time. 1t is a
work that means much to our city,
and one in which everyone should lift.
A strong pull and pull altogether
will save the park.

the old emperor she has eased his last
years and because her influence with
him has been only for the better She
is now close to so years of age, but
she is still beautiful and her eyes are
not dulled. Her hair is still a soft
light brown and her carriage is erect.
The history of how Nine. Schrett
gained control over the emperor is a
fascinating chapter of Austria's his
tory. She was once an actress in the
court theater and her beauty and tall
ent won her wealth and fame. Once
she came to America under the direc-
ton of Herr Conreid and was accorded
plaudits of the artistic.
At first Katti Schrett scarcely real
lied the immense power she had over
the ruler, but gradually she same to
realize that every whim or suggestion
was taken by him to be command.
Then 1t was that she first began to
use her influence for the betterment of
conditions and helping the poor.
Diplomats soon learned that the sur
est way to gain an end with the en-
peror was to have Katti Schrett on
their side.
In a little while she was the diplo-
matte center rather than the emperor.
She studied problems and decided
wisely. Her sanity and conservatism
could always be relied upon. She has
worked many reforms for the people
and in the present war scare she is an
important figure.

carpet bag government, largely main
tanned by Federal troops and could,
therefore, be manipulated in any way
that the Republicans wished
Tilden had unquestionably received
1874 votes, or one less than the number
required to elect, without counting the
vote of the three disputed states.
Hayes had undoubtedly received 166
votes, exclusive of Florida, South Car
DINA and louisiana. In other words,
Hayes needed the entire vote of these
three states to elect him. This vote
could be secured by the Republicans
returning boards-bodieS which had full
power to determine the results of the
elections in these StateS-by throwing
out the votes of any place where, in
their opinion, fraud and intimidation
had occurred, and counting the vote for
Hayes and Wheeler. This was done and
the electoral vote from these three
states was sent to Washington as hav-
ing been cast for Hayes and Wheeler
Another set of returns was sent to
Washington by the Democratic authori-
ties, who claimed that theirs was the
true return and that the state should
vote for Tilden and Hendricks.
In the meanwhile doubtful returns
from Oregon had also arisen, owing to
the discovery that one of the three Re
publican electors who had been chosen
to cast the vote of that state was tech
nically disqualified under the constitu-
ton, and, being compelled to resign,
the Democratic governor of Oregon
gave the Oregon certificate to the Dem
ocratic elector receiving the highest
number of votes. If Tilden could Sc
| cure the vote of this one elector he
| would be secure. There can be little
| doubt however, that the Republican
party honestly carried oregon, and the
| canvassing officer certified to the cleo
ton of the entire three electors.

open. but to also count the electoral

puted states was conclusive and final
as to the electoral votes of those states,
and they were accordingly given to
Hayes and Wheeler. In the early
morning hours of March 2. but two
days before the beginning of the new
presidential term, they were proclaim
ed by the president of the senate to
have been elected president and vice
president of the United States.
The Democrats were sorely disap-
pointed. Many in congress proposed

pletion of the count. when fraud
is law" said one of the prominent Dem
ocratic statesmen. "filibustering is pat
riotism." Threats were also made that
the Inauguration of Hayes should never
be permitted. But the defeated Tilden
strongly announced his disapproval of
such outbursts and advised submission
to the commissions verdict. Never had
a presidential election come so near to
precipitating the country in civil war.
Now that the crisis had passed, con-
gress Immediately turned to the max
ing of permanent provision for count
ing electoral votes thereafter in cases
of dispute so as to avoid the dangers
to which the country had been sub
jected.

Budapest, Oct. eat has just
leaked out that one dominant factor in
the recent development in the Balkan
states has been the former actress of
renown, Mime. Katti Schrett Her adj
vice to the emperor may be relied upon
to be on the side of good government
and conservatism. 1t has been we'll
known for 20 years that Katti Schrett
has dominated the emperor and during
these 20 years her every within has been
a law to him. Only recently Francis
Joseph gave her the magnificent palace
of his younger brother, Arcl1duke Vic
tor, whom he has banished from the
court for cratic conduct. The en-
perOr has almost bankrupted himself
that she might have indulgence. And
strangest of all the woman has so fas-
cinated her country that the populacc
has given her honor as a wise kingly
counselor, a woman whose reign over
a royal consort has done nothing but
good for the empire and whose influ-
ence has changed ruler to a man of
tender devotion to his people.
The actress lives in luxury and trav
els extensively and is hailed wherever
she goes as Frau Kaiserin." These
luxuries and tours. however, are not
the main sources Of her extravaganza.
Her tenderness goes. to an extent that
knows no bounds and this is what has
crippled the finances of her king.

courteous, because as a companion of

the sixth ballot his strength had risen
from 2S5 to 30S. When the seventh
ballot opened the New York and Penn
sylvania delegates retired for consul
tation and under the lead of Conkling,
determined to unite on a candidate and
defeat the nomination of Blaine. AS
the roll call proceeded there was thus
created a stampede for Gov. Rutherford
B. Hayes of Ohio. who from the frs
had been supported by the Ohio dele
cation and who on the fifth ballot had
received the vote of the Michigan dele
cation as well. Governor Hayes was
nominated on one roll and with him
William A. Wheeler of New York for
e-president. The nomination of
Hayes was strictly of the dark horse
variety and was a distinct shock to
the country.
Two weeks after the Republican con-
vention the Democrats assembled at st.
Louis, full of hope at the prospect OF
success. Democratic victories in 1874
| had rightfully electrified the party with
the hope of victory. Moreover, the
Democrats were not at sea for a can
didate. They had at hand an irresist-
ible leader of the Jacksonian type
Public opinion had already settled upon
him and the convention had but to
ratify the popular choice. This man
was Samuel ]. Tilden. governor of New
York. Tilden was unanimously named
for first place and with him was joined
Gov. Thomas A. Hendricks of Indiana
for vice president
Two minor political parties came into
existence. The Greenback party which
advocated the payment of the govern
ment obligation in greenbacks and an
| increase of the volume of currency by
the issue of paper money, nominated
| for president the venerable Peter Coop
! er, a New York philanthropist The
prohibitionists put forward G. Clay
| Smith.
| 1t was clear from the first that the
| Democratic party put up an attractive
ticket which showed every promise of
success. On the morning after the cleo
ton nearly all the newspapers of the
| country announced that Tilden was
| duly elected president. Most of the
| Republican leaders likewise conceded IT
| But there was one notable exception
! This was the manager of the Repub-
| hcan campaign, the astute Zachariah
Chandler, of Michigan. who, in the
early morning hours of the day follow
ing the election, announced, on his own
responsibility, that Rutherford &
Hayes had received 1S5 electoral votes
| and was elected
! On the face of the returns Tilden had
carried the northern states of New
York. New Jersey and Indiana, together
with all the southern states But Mr.
| Chandler having received what he re-
| garded as evidence of fraud and intim-
idation in the three southern states
of Florida, Louisiana and South Caro-
| lima, decided to set up a claim to those
