FRANK W. GowEN.
Waterville, September 8, 1909.

Only few hours before receiving this
article from Prof. Gowen we had read in
the September number of The Atlantic
Monthly the comments of Gideon Welles,
Lincoln's Secretary of the Navy, on this
matter, as noted in his diary at the time.
AS Mr.. Welles had no thought of publish
ing his diary he expressed his opinions
very freely in it and was far from COM
plimentary in his comments on some of
the men and measures of that day
Under date of June 8, 1864, he wrote:
''There seems some difference of opin-
ion among the delegates about the Vice
Presidency, but they will be likely to
renominate Hamlin, though he has not
much personal strength and has not the
mind and temperament to build up
party for the country. There is an i'm
preston here that he has great strength
in New England, but that is not my
opinion. He has party cunning and man.
agement, but not breadth and strength,
and is but little cared for there. He is
not offensive or obnoxious, but there is
no zeal for him. AS the President is
Western man and will be renominated,
the Convention will very likely feel in
clined to go East and renominate the
Vice-President also.''
June 8, 1864, Mr.. Welles writes of the
denomination of Lincoln, and then says in
his diary:
''On the question of Vice-President,
there was greater diversity of opinion at
the beginning; but ultimately all united
on Andrew johnson. Personally | did
not regret this result, although took no
part in it's accomplishment. The dele
gates and papers of my State generally
have disapproved Of Hamlin's course
toward me, and have no doubt it con-
tributed to their casting united vote at
the start for johnson. Hamlin and his
friends will give me credit for influence
which | do not possess and ascribe
to me rage and malevolence which l
never felt. Without cause, and because
would not extend undue favor to one of
his friends by official abuse, he has treat
ed me coldly, discourteously, and with
bad temper, so much so as to attract at
tention and lead to opposition to his re-
nomination.
In foot note the editors of the diary
say: "Mr. Hamlin was disgruntled with
Secretary Welles because the latter had
not given contract for building gun
boat to firm of contractors friendly to
Mr.. Hamlin." On the other hand Gen.
Charles E. Hawlin, the biographer Of
Hannibal Hamlin, says: "He (Welles)
was a false friend and pursued Mr..

He was born at Cresson Springs, Pa,
in May. 1856. He entered the navy in
1881. His first polar experience was
acquired in 1886, when he made rec
onnoissance of the Greenland inland
ice. In June, 1891, he sailed from New
York on the Kite and, making his
headquarters at Mccormick bay, on
the west coast Of Greenland, penetrat-
ed as far north as latitude SO. In
1894-5 he reached the seventy-eighth
parallel on the west Greenland coast.
In 1899 he went to between the sew
enty-ninth and eightieth parallels on
the east coast of Ellesmere Land. In
1900 he reached the eighty-second par
allel on the east coast of Grinnell
Land. In 1866 he skirted the north
coast Of Grinnell Land and made an
attack on the pole from Cape Moss.
This was the expedition which reached
what was at that time "farthest
north" 81 degrees minutes.
He reached that point on April 81
Comparatively smooth travelling he
then found until he reached latitude
SIS degrees u minutes. There he en-
countered a terrific storm, which held
him prisoner. while the ice drift car
ried him seventy miles to the east.
These handicaps and the constantly
widening lanes of water and increas-
ing roughness Of the ice, together with
a threatened failure of supplies, forced
Peary to turn back on April 81.

n T the stroke of Ikey Sniggle-
"a fritz laid down his goose. Ikey
"a was taIlor's apprentice. Are
there tallor's apprentices now
adays?
At any rate, Ikey toiled and shipped
and basted and pressed and patched
and spongcd all day in the steamy
fetor of n tailor shop, but when work
was done Ikey hltched his wagon to
such stars as his armament let shine.
1t was Saturday night, and the boss
laid twelve begrimed and begrudged
dollars In his hand. Ikey dabbled dis
creetly in water, donned coat, hat and
collar, with It's frazzled tie and chal-
cedony pin, and set forth in pursuit Of
his ideals.
For each of us when our days work
is done must seek our ideal, whether 1t
be love or penuchle or lobster a la New
burg or the sweet silence OF the musty
bookshelves.
Behold Ikey as he ambes up the
street beneath the roaring a." be-
tween the rows OF reeking sweatshops.
Pallid, STOPPING, insignificant, squalid,
doomed to exist forever in penury OF
body and mind, yet as he swings his
cheap cane and projects the nOisome
inhalations from his cigarette you per
ceiye that he nurtures In his narrow
bosom the bacillus of society.
keys legs carried him to and into
that famous place of entertainment
known as the Cafe Maginnis- famous
because 1t was the rendezvous Of Billy
McMahan, the greatest man, the most
wonderful man, Ikcy thought, that the
world had ever produced.
Billy McMahan was the district lead
er. Upon him the tiger purred, and
his hand held mamma to scatter. Now,
as Ikey entered McA1ahan stood flush
ed and triumphant and mighty, the cen
ter Of huZzalng concourse Of his lieu
tenants aud constituents. 1t seems
there had been an election. 4 signal
victory had been won. The city had
been swept back into line by resist

How magnificent was Billy McMa-

face; HIS gray eye, shrewd as n
chicken hawks; his diamond ring his
voice like bugle call his princes air.

his clarion call to friend and comrade-

The Cafe Magnnis rang to the note
of victory. The white coated bar
tenders threw themselves featfully
upon bottle, cork and glass. From a
score OF clear Havanas the air received
Its paradox of clouds. The leal and
the hopeful shook Billy McMahan' 5

in the worshlpful soul of Ikey Sniggle-

He stepped forward into the little
