Why Hamlin Resigned Twice

senate was in entire agreement with
that element Of the Democratic party
which opposed the extension OF slav-
cry into the territories. Those Demo
Gratis were called Free Sellers, and
many Of them afterwards became Re-
publicans.
while I was serving my second
term In the senate the Republican par
ty was organized. I agreed thorough
ly with that plank Of its initial plat
form which opposed the extension OF
slavery into the territories, and so It
seemed to me and my friends that
might be OF some service to the new
party by making test of the strength
Of that principle In the state of Maine.
Therefore. I determined to resign my
seat as senator and to accept nomi-
nation from the Republicans for gov
srnor Of Maine. That would bring the
issue of slavery extension squarely
home to the voters OF my state.

Albert Fink. Builder Of Bridges, First
Devised the Cooperative Plan
and Tried II on Southern.
Roads.

The talk was of the strong political
agitation Of the past ten years against
railroad pools, and Senator Chauncey
M. Depew remarked that he pre-
sumed that a majority of people Of
the United States we're of the opinion
that the railroad pool and co-opera-
ton and community of interest
among the railroads were modern de-
vices of the able lawyers employed
as counsel by the railroads and adopt
ed by the railroads for the purpose OF
getting around the decision OF the
Supreme court, in which II declared
that agreements like that Of the
Trans Missouri Trafic association
and the Joint Traffic association of
the trunk lines were In violation OF
the federal statutes.
"Curiously enough, however" con-
tinued Senator Depew, "the man who
worked out the principle of cooper
alton and who created the railway
pool was. in the early part Of his ca
reer. associated with the railroads
only as a civil engineer. I mean
Albert Fink. For the first twenty
years of his active life he was
builder OF bridges and constructor
Of railway lines. q man Of science
pure and simple"
In the early eighties l heard from
Mr.. Fink himself the story Of how
he came to invent the now famous
railroad pool. At that time Mr.. Fink
was a man of striking physical
characteristics. His complexion was
swarthy, his eyes were large and very
dark, and the peculiar tint Of them
was intensified by heavy overhanging
eyebrows. He wore beard and mus
tache. the beard being no more than
a broad chin whisker. His frame In
dicated great physical strength. He
spoke with a slight German accent,
for he was born in Germany. and re-
ceived his scientific education there.
Much of my early railroad work
was In the south, and In the years
prior to the Civil war;" said Mr.. Fink.
II was engaged In building bridges
and constructing railroads, and had
no thought at that time of any other
professional association with rail-
roads.
After the frightful generalization
caused by the failure of the Northern
Pacific railroad in 1873. II occurred to
me that the policy of excessive com
petition carried on by railroads was
entirely wrong. I thought that the
railroads of the United States ought
to be able to find some way by
which. although earnestly seeking
business. nevertheless they would NOT
attempt to secure II through whole
sale cutting of rates. Furthermore.
believed that the situation In the
south at that time was especially
favorable to an attempt to work out
a new policy along this line. was
SO convinced of the accuracy of my
reasoning that I spent year. per.
