THE MAINE sENAToRsHIPs.

The Sixty-hrst Congress. which ended
at noon on March 4th, last, had in it
two stalwart Republican Senators from
Maine. The first, Hon Eugene Hale,
who, at the expiration OF his term, had
served thirty years in the Senate, and
who announced beforehand that he
would not be u candidate for re-elec~
ton. William F. Frye was the second
OF the Senators referred to, who had
an even longer Senatorial service to
his credit than had Mr.. Hale, and q
more illustrious service, in that he was
President of the Senate for fifteen
years, having been first elected as such
President February z, 1896, reelected
December 4, 1899, and reelected March
7, 1901, Prior to the assemblage of
the present Congress in extra session,
Mr.. Frye resigned the Presidency OF the
Senate. and an attempt to elect Sen
ator Gallinger of New Hampshire in
his stead failed through the opposition
of the iusurgent Senators.
The announcement of the death of
Senator Frye is a shock TO the country.
It has been known that he was not in
good health, but there had been no
indication that his end was so near.
He was almost so years old, having
been born at Lewiston, Maine, Septem-
her 2, 1881; he has been in public life
for fifty years, going through the usual
gradations Of service, first as mem-
Der of the legislature Of Maine, then
State official then member of the
House Of Representatives, then Sen
ator He succeeded Blaine in the Sen
ate in 1881. and has served there con-
tinuously ever since, making record
of more than thirty years service IN
that body, and always of service with
distinction to himself. He has also
been prominent in the party commit
tees. and was in 1898 member of the
Paris Peace Commission.
It is announced that the Democratic
Governor of Maine, Mr. Plaisted, will
appoint Democrat to succeed Mr..
Frye Immediately, so that the State of
Maine may have its full representation
in the extra session, and the Democratic
be that much increased, 1t
is a remarkable change, therefore, that
the State of Maine sees in its Senator
ships within just few months. AT the
close of the Congress which expired
on March 4th, there were two stalwart
Republican Senators. There will now
be two Democratic Senators from that
State, something that, so far as the
memory of man runneth, is unprece-
dented
