BurIeigh Far in the Lead.
(Pittsfleld Advertlser.O


AS the weeks go by and the primaries
draw near the sentiment appears to
clystalize and find expression. And
this expression is, very plainly, much
more "Burleigh" than any other in the
senatorial contest
The fact that everybody in Maine
knows Governor Burleigh and just
what may be expected of him, counts
heavily at this time. The people want
men they know and who have made
good" They see the need of expert
ence, judgment and energy, as we'll as
natural ability and love of State and
country.
Governor Burleigh has never failed a
constituent, of any political party, and
his record is clear as well as volumi-
nous.

ALBANIA is in the ring. In our
judgment Hon. Oscar Underwood
has no peer in point Of ability,
no superior in executive tenden-

any man in public life. That he
is further from the North than
others; that he represents a man

should not prejudice his worth to
the great common people. The
South delivers the goods without
spot or blemish in every national
contest. We have served the

long. Fifty years of political
isolation ought to arouse the am

brought when Albert Horner was

secretary, against Robert Horner, one
being for $4,000 damages on alleged
malfeasauce and misfeasauce in office,
and the other for an accounting in

pany, but which were sold as personal
property by Robert Horner.

Herndon (his law partner tells the
story of Lincoln's encounter with one

ed from the Wing to the Democratic
faith and had been rewarded with a
fat political office. Forquer had there
upon built himself an elaborate home
in Springfield, and over 1t had erected
Tightening rod, the only one in the
place and the first one Lincoln had
ever seen. Once, at a political meet
ing, Forquer set himself to take
down" the presumptuous young man
of elongated stature and ready tongue.
"IIis reply to Forquer," said Herndon's
informant, was characterized by great
dignity and force. l shall never forget
the conclusion Of that speech: The
gentleman has seen fit to allude to my
being young man, but he forgets that
am older in years than l am in tricks
and trades of politicians. I desire to
live, and l desire place and distinction,
but / would rather die now than, like
the gentleman, live to see the day that
would change my politics for an office
worth three thousand dollars a year,
and then feel compelled to erect a
lightning rod to protect a guilty con-
science from an offended God
