Lodge. Theodore Roosevelt, and so
on, not to forget William E. Curtis
and Edward S Ellis, an it made the
sedate thinker from Pittsburg, ordi-
narily so wary and so accurate, a
very creduIous person. We see the
somewhat similar effect when the
brilliant mind Of Gertrude AthertOn
contemplates Hamilton and Jefferson
through the same historic specs.
owsley stanley's reply to DAlzell
was crushing and conclusive.
He painted the two men, Hamilton
and Jefferson precisely as they
were, and placed them prtc ely
where authentic history will put
them-the Virginian the wisest of
political philosophers; the West In
dian the most brilliant of political
adventures. Many of Stanley's po-
litical friends tried to dissuade him
from the encounter. They did not
know much about Hamilton and JEFF
ferson, but they knew deal of John
Dalzell, whose conclusions they had
never embraced, but whose state
ments of facts they had never chal-
lenged. -
Stanley did not dare to enter the
lists without being armed capaple.
and he spent week of almost cease
less investigation night and day. He
scar chii5d fifty volumes, ana drew
from manuscripts in the National
Library and the State Department.
When he began the Democrats were
ind the Republicans
confident. A few minutes later the
Democrats were sanguine and the Ie-

rum. That arch. fatterer and match
less scJundrel, Talleyrand, declared
that Hamilton was greater than Ma
poleon or Fox, which is all bosh; but
Hamilton's eulogists are absurd
enough TO take what the unscrupu-
lous French miscreant said for his
real opinion. Well might the shade
of Hamilton pray to be delivered
from American history as she is
writ.
Hamilton is actually held up as
the father Of the Constitution, when
the one thing for which he had more
contempt than for that instrument
was the Articles of Confederation
which it supplanted. AS for patriot
ism-the real stuff, not the brand
described by Walpole-Hamilton had
none, and it was impossible for him
to have any, having expatriated him
self at the age of sixteen years. The
patriotism that springs from the
heart and fills the soul is not plant
that can be carried from cline to
cline. The patriot is made Of the
boz that plays around the spring
gambols in the orchard, reclines in
the shade of trees in happy boyhood.
1t is catching" in the school room
as it is impaired from urchin to ur-
chin, and it is all over and around
tine playground. Washington and
Henry, Adams ana Putnam. Rut-
ledge and Marion, were patriots. So
were old George Clinton and Phillip
Schuyler. These we're
Native and to the manor born.
But Hamilton, an adventurer, was

years sfhistory- making had the Amer
lean Congress seen the two great faith
ers of American politics as they were
and as they will be estimated by the
future Gibbon or Hume.
Alexander Hamilton was born a
subject Of the British crown, in the
insignificant island of Nevis, in the
West Indies. His father was
Scotchman and his mother a French
woman. In his earliest youth he
gave earnest of the splendid genius
of which nature had endowed him.
Ere he was twenty he was the first
political controversialist in the colo
ny of New York, whether with
tongue or pen. His motto might
have been:
Why, then, the worlds mine oyster,
Which | with mind will open.
AS political writer he was great
er than Paine and little inferior to
Burke. AS an orator he was, per-
haps, second to Henry only OF the
revolutionary generation. Had he
gone to London he would have been
capable of filing a bigger place in
English annals than the younger
Pitt. Had he gone to France and es-
capped the Terror he might have been
second to Napoleon Bonaparte alone,
an honest Talleyrand, more fortu-
nate Massena.
Instead, Hamilton came to America
and assumed the role of Hampden.
He opposed Lord North, not for the
tax he levied so much as the princi-
pie it involved. 1t was little bit of
tax, great piece of folly on the
part of the ministry, though not OPP
pressive; but if allowed to be aprece-
dent, it was in the power of the
crown to make serfs of the coionists.
Hamilton entered the army and be-
came the secretary of the comman-
der-in- chief, and in the field he was
as daring as he was able in the TO-

THREE CONVENTIONS
Republicans Will Meet Tonight
 10 Elect Delegates.

The republicans will hold three conventions this evening at republi can headquarters. Each convention will be called to business by the chairman of the city committee, At torney U. G. Church. The three con ventions are the state, the congres. sional and the probate. Each con. vention will consist of twenty-s.S delegates who were elected at the primaries held a few weeks ago, and they will this evening elect eight del egates to each of the conventions above named, two from each sena- torial district and six at large in both districts. It is allowable, how ever, to select the six at large from one section of the district, and on that basis it is said that the six at large to the state convention will be taken from the second ward, it being the purpose to send as far as possible, the most prominent men in the party, men who will stand for Lilley for governor in the nominating conven- tion and who can neither be infiuenc- ed nor cajoled into doing anything else.
 There is said to be battle on in the sixteenth senatorial district be- tween the friends of two very active republicans, M. F. Parkinson and J. H. Reed. Both, it is said, wish to go to the convention as delegates. It Is said also that Alonzo Williams is to be the other delegate from that dis trict.
 Those who are mentioned as sure delegates from the fifteenth district are Senator I. H. Chase, Judge George H. Cowell, Judge L. F. Burpee, Hem ry L. Wade, George A. Driggs and Walter W. Holmes. Senator Chase and MT Wade, it is reported, will be the delegates from the district while the other four will be delegates at large, thus making the necessary eight with Williams and Parkinson or Reed from the sixteenth.
 There is said to be an effort mak- ing to split the delegates for Lake. Men prominent in the party smile when this is mentioned to them, but whatever truth there may be in the rumor to-day, it had a pretty good foundation last week.
 The eight delegates to the congress sional convention will, without ques- tion, support N. D. Sperry, the pres ent holder of that office, If he wishes the nomination, and 1t is taken for granted that he does, notwithstand- ing the dull prospect of his being re- elected and the emptiness of his rec ord.
 There is said to be a candidate for the probate nomination in the person of Attorney M. J. Byrne. He is the only onementionedf for the nomination and nobody so far grudges it to him. for it is certainty that he will get nothing more.

RECOVERING BONDS.
Bank Will Ask for Title to Unne-
 gotiatsd Paper.

New Britain, Aug 11.--Unless William F. Walker tells more about the missing savings bank securities than he is given credit for so far. the probabilities are that after a short lapse of time the bank win petition the courts to take such ac- ton as may be deemed necessary to acquire the title to the bonds which have never been negotiated. They amount to about s12U.000. some of the coupons of which an attempt was made to collec on at a Mime apolis bank recently. A large part of these bonds are Eastern Illinois railroad bonds, and it Is thought that action would have to be taken by the Illinois courts. A year ago last March Samuel Mrnch of this ci had s30.000 worth of stocks and bonds stolen from his saloon in Curtin's block. No trace has been found of them. No companies have refused to issue new stocks or bonds 10 him in place of the miss ing securities unless he gave bonds for double the securities. This would cost him 1 lk per cent interest or at the rae of SIS a thousand He has uevsr done anything about getting new certificates. as the companies pay him the dividends aud interest regularly, The companies would take the same attitude to he bank probably.

KARL SCHMlD'S CASE
Wiibdrsws Ills SuIt Assiosi
 United Brewery Workers.

| Karl Schmid and the local union of the International Union of United Brewery Workers have made up. Last November he was elected from the union and deprived of a travelling card. In consequence he could not find employment in the United States, at least so he said. The cause for dismissing him from the union was that he was not eligible for member ship and he disobeyed some of the rules. He accordingly brought an action of mandamus through Attorney Pierce to be restored to membership in the union and the papers in that suit are now in the superior court, on file. Before they were returned, however, every effort was made to get the union to restore him to mem- bership and give him travelling card so that he could work elsewhere but all endeavor failed and then only were the papers returned to court.
 Schmid makes the following state- ment:
 l, Karl Schm1d, or the city of Wa terbury, formerly member of Local No 126 of the International Union of the United Brewery Workmen of America, do hereby retract any and all statements which I have made derogatory to the said union and its members; and I do further declare that was wrong in all of my state ments and do now freely retract them. have this day withdrawn my action of mandamus against said union and l have agreed to pay all expenses that said union has been put to as a result of my action in bringing suit. In return said local has kindly and mag unanimously reinstated me to member ship in the said local union. I here after agree to be faithful member of said union.
 KARL SCHMID.
 Waterbury, August 10, 1908.
 However, Schmid is not out of the woods yet, for 1t is not as easy as that to get out of the hands of ones lawyer. Attorney Pierce was put to considerable expense in having the papers drawn up, served by proper officer and returned to court, Schmid not having the funds with which to begin his action of mandamus, and they don't do business on credit in the courts.
