NOTES OF THE 0. D. c.

The ultimate decision upon the propos-
al Of Virginia delegates. led by Mrs.
X. L. Montague, that the United Daugh-
ters Of the Confederacy take over the
possession and care Of the Home for
Needy Confederate Women at Rich
mond IL expected to invoke sharp dis
cussion. The institution, founded twelve
years ago for the care and maintenance
OF destitute wives, widows, sisters, and
daughters OF Confederate soldiers in
Virginia, has been paid for and its COM
mittee has a fund of $4,000
Those who would have the society take
over the home say that It is better
work than erecting monuments, which
they would defer for the present at
least. II the whole society took over
the home. II Is claimed, women all over
the South could be cared for.
Mrs. William 7. Kennedy, wife OF q
prominent merchant OF Knoxville, Tenn,
and Mrs. George w. Denny, wife of a
well known newspaper man Of the same
city, are delegates among the conven-
ton. Mrs. Kennedy is the sister OF

vention. Mrs. Aldridge is the represent
tative of the r. z. Lee Chapter OF FL

Governor Fernald.
Lewiston Journal.)

The Waterville celebration, FRIDAY
night, showed a good deal of life IN
the old party of Maine. Governor
elect Haines was gloriously 1eted.
One of the features of the gathering
apart from Gov.-elect Haines' Vlgor-
Gus and apt speech was the coroiallty
shown to Ex-Governor Fernald. Mr..
Fernald is definitely out of politics but
he left his business and devoted days
and nights of the campaign to wock
on the stump for the Republican par
ty His speech in Auburn turned the
tide; put the first hope into the local
organization and went far toward MAX
ing a Republican majority possible, on
Sept. 8. We mention this because the
battle of Sept. was largely centered
around the Fernald administration.
We have contended that it was one OF
the best. The outcome of the contest
of Sept 9 over that issue is satisfac-
tory and it was fitting that Gov. Fer
maid should have been at Waterville
sharing in the plaudits and rejoicing
in Mr.. Haines' victory.

Prefer Republican Rule.


The Maine election which has been
awaited with so much interest for
several weeks not only by the people
of this but of other states as well. is
over and the result, while surprising
TO some, is not much different from
what could be expected. 1t was a
hard fought campaign. Both parties
used every effort at their command to
secure the desired result, but one
could win and that proved to be the
Republicans While the Democrats felt
very confident of victory they did not
take into sufficient consideration the
fact that when Maine went their way
two years ago, that it was due to Re
publican votes. After two years of
Democratic rule the people of the
State decided that they preferred to
go back to Republican rule. While this
sentiment was particularly marked in
the rural districts it also showed in
tho cities where there was great
shrinkage of the Democratic plurali-
ties of two years ago. To make a long
story short, Maine is Republican
State and is likely to remain SO for
years to come. Her people have pros
pered under Republican rule and after
giving Democracy two years of con-
troll decided that the old order OF
things was better.

The Republicans on Guard.
portland PresS.)

The report, which could be traced
to no authentic source that the cleo
ton committee of the Governor S
Council was planning to count out
some of the Republican representa-
tives- elect to the Legislature, in or
der that they might organize the
House and possibly control the cleo
ton of United States senator caused
some apprehension in the minds OF
the Republican leaders, the last OF
the week.
There are any number of cases
where the election of representatives
was very close and it would be nee
essary to throw out but a few votes
in each case to put over a scheme
of this sort But any such an attempt
will be fought to finish by the Re-
publicans. If the Democrats file claims
the Republicans will do the same, and
there will be very interesting doings-
1t is not believed that there are
enough cases where Republicans could
he refused certificates by the Demo-
Gratis on any reasonable pretext, to
enable them TO control joint con-
yenticn, but it is realized that they
might undertake to control the House
and this is what the Republicans Will
seek to guard against.

Ovation for Col. Parkhurst.

CWaterville Cor. Portland Express.)
Chairman Philbrook read kilograms
of regret from congressman Kinds
and Guernsey, and from Congress
man elect Goodwin, who were UNI
avoidably detained. Then he paid a
handsome compliment to the march
ing clubs which contributed SO much
to the success of the occasion, and
said he wanted to hear word from
the man through whose energy these
clubs had been formed. He introduce
ed Col. Frederick II. Parkhurst of
Bangor.
Col. Parkhursts ovation was sec
ond only to that of the Governor elect
himself. 1t was a recognition of the
fact that to him and to his splendid
ability as an organizer the Penobscot
victory had been won. 1t was some
time before his clear-cut, even tones
sounded out over the crowded campus.
But when they did, it was only d
signal for more applause and more
demonstration, for he declared that,
seconding Scott Wilson's greeting
from the 10000 loyal Republicans of
Cumberland county, he brought, he
said to imperial Kennebec, the greet
ings of the victorious hosts of Fight
