The Pattangall-P administra-
ton takes its defeat very hard, and soon
after the election of Sept. 9th there
were rumors of count-out. But those
familiar with the political history of the
State had little fear that they would
venture on another attempt to defeat
the will of the people. The Estate
Steal" in 1880 was ruinous to the repu-
tatlons of those most prominently en-
gagged in it, and although it is now gen.
orally recalled only in its serio-comic as
poets it narrowly escaped being TRACE
dy. How narrow was the escape from
bloodshed was known to but few at the
time, and we believe that the story has
never been told in print, and probably
never will be. Capt Charles E. Nash
was mayor of Augusta at the time and
upon him devolved the duty of maintain
ing peace and order and he was in COM
mand Of the guard at the State House.
Some years later, when on a Maine
Press excursion, Capt. Nash, George A.
Quimby and the writer We're seated on
the veranda of a hotel in Plymouth,
Mass, while others of the party were
dancing. We were in semi-darkness and
the only occupants of the veranda.
Some reference to political affairs struck
eminiscent vein in Capt. Nash and he
/ began relating the inside history of the
State steal. 1t was intensely interest
ing and the writer memorized the story
as it was told; but at the close Capt.
Nash requested that what he had said
should be regarded as strictly conf
dental and this injunction of secrecy has
been observed. 1t has since, however,
been regretted that the story was not
written down and preserved.
How me Democratic Governor and cour-
Gil handledThe election returns of 1879 is
told in detail in the report of the investi-
eating committee composed Of members
OF the Senate and House. These returns
were contrary to usage, kept by the
Governor and Council from all inspection
or scrutiny by candidates, their counsel
or any parties legitimately interested in
them. During such time as the returns
were so kept, many alterations, erasures
and forgeries were made upon them, for
the purpose of changing the result; and

been withdrawn from the treasury of

The feature of the September Bulle-
tin of the Maine department of agri-
culture is an article upon "Orcharding
IN Maine" by A. K. Gardner and H. P.
Sweetser, horticulturist and assistant
borticulturist connected with the State
department of agriculture. In speak
ing of the general outlook they say:
s'Maine has been rather tardy in appre-
ciating the chances of the development
in commercial apple growing. Most sec
tons of the State have orchards of
greater or less extent and up to within
few years these have been seriously neg
lected.
" Cultivation, systematic pruning,
spraying, more rigid laws relating to
disposal of fruit and cooperation have
been sadly needed in order to put Maine
where she should be as fruit producing
State.
Fine fruit can be produced in every
county in the State, providing the right
soil and varieties are selected. 1t is
safe to say that 500 net per acre can
be realized, depending Of course upon
the grower, acreage and method Of man.
agement.'
Factors in aid of the advancement
of orcharding in Maine are said by the
horticulturists to be: Orcharding as a
specialized business; better methods of
management of the orchard, including
better stock and selection Of soil; better
methods of handling the fruit; co-opera-
tive marketing, more rigid packing laws.
These matters are discussed at length in
the Bulletin.

Alabama Will Lead

"For the first time," says the Roch- ester Democrat and Chronicle, "in many years, if not the first time in the political history of the United States, the first state to be called on the roll call for nominations in the democratic national convention will take the lead. In one or two cases Alabama has yielded to some other state, once to New York, when Grover Cleveland was nominated. But this year Alabama will have the proud dis tinction of naming one of her own sons, Oscar w. Underwood"
 The Democrat and Chronicle men, Hons the fact that national conven- tions are noisy gatherings. Every state that has favorite son becomes a noise producer, and each tries to outdo the other. It anticipates a great deal of noise when the supporters of MT. Underwood gather in Baltimore.
 As this will be the first time in 56 years when a man from the south has been named for the highest honor in the gift of the people, Alabama will certainly be excused if her voice rises to shriek at the convention. The Democrat and Chronicle thinks that most of the southern states will join in the shouting for Underwood. What would be more natural after a period of political ostracism covering 56 years?

hunger for more It has that compelling touch that opens the well springs of the best of every nature and brings the re- sponse which is most satisfying. Tt is Lawrence Gilman the musical critic who says: The modern orchestra Is the most wonderful instrument in ex- l istence. A oonjurer's wand, which can summon visions celestial or demoniae. a magic brush which can paint a sunrise or a tempest, a multiple voice which can narrate an epic or proclaim trag- edy and can sway the heart with it's eloquence
 "It is all Of this and more. It is the music of the elassicist and of the null tltude It carries with it not only the musician who catches with trained ear and appreciation every minute detail of the orchestration. every shade of the in depreciation by strings. reeds, brasses and drums, but equally the man of the street who himself can scarcely whistle tune, by it's infinite charm and sweep For this very reason 1t Is the most in elusive of all music. It so grows upon audiences, so woos them and wins them that nothing else can take it's place, and no other gives so much.
 Thus 1t is that the visit of the Mime apolis orchestra, one of the foremost in the land, acquires deeper significance than Is attached to any ordinary musical event"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-04-28

From the KnickerbocSer Press.
 Alabama leads the roll of states. Con sequently when the roll is called at the democratic national convention at Balti- more the first word will be: Alabama offers oscar W. Underwood and confi- dently calls upon the democratis of her sister states to rally under the Under wood banner" Compared with some of the candidates who have been mentioned Underwood is an intellectual colossus. He is a man of the gravest modesty. In the congressional directory the Underwood biographical sketch contains just four lines. Though hailing from Alabama, he Is native of Kentucky Both his father and his grandfather were strong Union men during the civil war The develop ment of the coal and iron resources Of Alabama caused his migration to that state when he was a young man. He has been elected to Congress nine times. His congressional experience of itself fits him for many of the duties that devolve upon a President He is familiar with legfsla- tive methods and he knows the tariff game. Recently it has been suspected that Mir Underwood bears a corporation taint, but this is by no means fully established. MT Underwood possesses the genius of leadership, as he has proved on the floor of Congress on more than one occasion by overthrowlng the programme of that veteran leader. MT Bryan. In offering NIr. Underwood, Alabama offers for him platform in which tariff revision is given the right of way. Next on this pro gramme comes the revision of the banking and currency laws. Like every platform AIr. Tnderwoods contains a declaration for federal aid in the uplieep and construc- ton of post roads. It does not go into details so far as to become embarrassing, and any candidate, republican or demo- crat. could run upon it. MT. Underwood s chief asset, however, is his cool and de- liberate boise. He would be satisfactory to democrats who cannot tolerate the re- actionary Governor Harmon on the one hand or the aggressively progressive Gov ernor Wilson on the other. By rallying around MT. Underwood the democratic party could shout it's old war cry, Back to the principles of Jefferson," until 1t became black in the face. Everything considered, MT. Underwood is a possibility
 to be reckoned with. The Atlanta Consti- tuition, probably the leading democratic paper of the south, sounds his slogan in
 these worlds
 "If the south does not rally around Os- car Underwood, greatest of living dem- ocrats in practical achievement, it will | Invite merited contempt from the nation. Across the reach of distance and the chasm of the sixties, the state of Ala
 bama and the state of New York unite l in political creed that Is the written
 incarnation of Alabanas favorite son. Alabama offers Underwood to her sister
 states. She offers him also to the nation.
 Fo.' the platform which is dramatized in l his every public deed is the one platform
 upon which the democracy can sweep the
 doubtful states-and the nation."

Ar HIs POST or nuTY

From the Savannah Press.
 It is worth while noting that Mir Un- derwood isn't so anxious for the presi- dential nomination of his party. that he is willing to leave his post of duty in ! Washington to seek 1t. It is probable that he assumes that if the people are not well enough acquainted with him and his record as a public man to decide whether or not they want him for Pres ident without effort on his part in the way of soliciting support he ought not to be candidate. That is a very high stand for a public man to take. but it doesn't follow, of course, that those who do go out after votes should have that fact urged against them.
 | MT. Underwood is very modest man. He doesn't improve opportunities to get into the limelight and he doesn't invite commendation for his efforts in behalf of the public welfare. He lets his work speak for him. And it must be admitted that he has done excellent work during | the years he has been in Congress. But it is since he has been at the head of tho ways and means committee and the | leader of the House that he has become so widely known He was prepared for man of the ways and means committee imposed upon him-better prepared. per haps, than any one of his predecessors in that position for long time.
 The country was clamoring for re-
 vision of the tariff downward because of the high cost of living and the fact that the tariff Is at the bottom of the trust evil. The masterly way in which Mir Underwood handled tariff questions and the magnificent leadership he displayed
 in getting tariff revision bills through the House won the admiration of the en-
 tire country.
 | Some of his opponents for the nomina- 1 ticn are saving that he isn't well known to the people, They are greatly mis- taken, and that argument against making him the partys nominee for President is
 resorted to because there Is so little that
 can be urged against him. If he isn't
 well known, then there are very few men
 in public life that are we'll known. For l the last year. to say nothing of all the l other years he has served in Congress, his
 name has been in the public prints all most every day. The newspapers have
 never tired of calling attention to his abil- | ity in shaping tariff reduction legislatior
 and to his magnificent leadership of the
 House. If those who are seeking to ere
 ate the impression that he isn't well known were to go out on the farms and
 in the villages and make inquiry they
 would quickly find that there are very few men who are so we'll known. Tho people know him as modest, but force fui man. They vote for him because they have confidence in men of his stamp They know the public interests are saft in the hands of men like him.
