In 1872. when Horace Greeley. opposing
General Grant, was running for President
as the candidate of the Liberal Republi-
can party, the New York state branch of
that party nominated Chauncey NJ. Depew
for lieutenant governor. The Liberal Re
publican national committee wanted to
make strong campaign in the State OF
Maine, which. then as now, held an ear y
fall State election. ana so It sent Mr..
Depew into Maine to make several adj
dresses.
His first speech was scheduled to be
delivered in Lewiston, the home of the
,ate Nelson Dingley. There was strong
Liberal Republican sentiment among tho
college men Of the Pine Tree S late and SO
it happened that at the Lewiston meeting
Mr.. Depew found himself on the p lat
form with the president OF Bates College
and several OF his professors, as well as
with the party leaders i'm that locality.
and tho college president acted as chair
man Of the meeting.
The hall was packed. But Mr. Depew
noticed that while the audience was or
derby, it was not very demonstrative. He
did his best to warm it up, but without
any great success, though he drew forth
plenty Of applause from the college men
on the platform.
When he finished, the college president
rose. Fellow citizens" he exc aimed,
"the nominee of the Liberal Republican
party for President, Horace Greeley, Is a
citizen Of New York. The distinguished d
gentleman we have heard tonight is a
nominee Of the Liberal Republican party
of New York for Lieutenant governor.

sons of New York, our candidates Hor-

Then he braced himself swung his arms,
and shouted, "Hip Hipw
His own hurrah and that Of those who
occupied the platform with him greeted
| him.
/ Again he waved his arms with an i'm
pressive gesture. 'Hipl Hip" he shouted.
The only response was his own hurrah
and that of two professors.
For third time he waved his arms, and
'Hip! Hip" no cried.
/ His own hurrah was the on'y response.
Then there arose IN the center Of the
house a giant Of a umberman. who had
a good-natured face and voice that had
p ainly been trained by matching it with
the winds Of winter in the lumber camps.
Now, fellow citizens" he shrilled forth,

the cheering lasted for ten minutes, SO
that the roof actually seemed almost ID

Depew and the college president and tho
professors, and when it was ended silent.

hall.

THE EASTER SEASON.

XAT It'll the dawn Of another Easter comes
w the realization that the world is growing
kinder more broherly and ssterly, in spite of ali
mistakes and blunders. The spirit of intolerance
which made Puritan parents forbid any rejoicing
in honor of the day has passed away. We are no
longer afraid to be human.
Differences of creed, or of worldly position, are
no barrier to our sharing with our neghbor the
JOY of Eastertide. The flowers the cards, the
Easter eggs, even the new dresses are we'll and
good, and expressive of human rejoicing. 1t is
to be hoped that the Easter gifts will remain
simple and inexpensive, that the spirit of the day
may not be lost by the burden of elaborate gift
giving which has become an unfortunate feature
of Christmas.

Toleranee and Independencs.

Don't forget that your neighbor, though
he differs from you politically, may be just
as honest in his convictions as you, that
this is free country where freedom of
opinion is one of the biggest of the broad
foundation-stones of our government, and
there would be an end of that form of
government without it. Be tolerant, there
fore, or rather not tolerant but rational,
patriotic and good-natured. Stand by your
convictions AID let your neighbor stand
by his if so disposed. Keep cool. Argue
politics if you will, but do it calmly and
reasonably, and bear this fact always in
mind, that just as you have made up your
mind unalterabiy as to the way in which
you will vote, ninety-nine hundredths of
the voting population has done the same
thing.-St. Bernard Voice
