WATCHING THE RESULT WITH INTEREST.

THE OUTCOME OF MONDAY'S ELECTION in Maine is awaited with considerable interest in Lake county, as in other parts of the country. The democratic party has been spending lots of effort in Maine to hew down the re

publican majority. As in the case of Vermont the result in the presidential year is regarded asa

is blowing for the big contest in November, though the experience in past years

has shown that the indication is not always a trustworthy one. It is conceded that the republican party will win, but if the plurality is reduced it will give

great satisfaction to the democratic managers. Astute politicians on the republican side do not hesitate to admit among themselves that the plurality in the Pine Tree state is very likely to be reduced from the big figures that have been rolled ud in years gone by. If such is the case, they explain, it will be

due entirely to the fact that the contest out regard to the questions that figure in

For this reason Vermont is a much more reliable barometer around which the election -revolves, while in Vermont the local issues at stake were not nearly

so prominent.' ' . , ' '

For purposes of comparison it is interesting to note the record of the Maine elections for some years past In 1880 the democratic-greenback fusion party carried the state in September, while the republicans elected their president in November. In 1884 the republicans carried Maine in September, due probably to the fact that James G. Blaine was running for the presidency, but in No

vember Cleveland was elected presidentIn 1892 Maine was republican by only shadowing the election of Cleveland to the

the republican majorities in Maine, in September, have been very large, ranging

from 48,246, in 1896 and 34,132. in 1900 to 25,800 in 1904. The elections since 18S8 seem to make the state fairly barometric in character, and yet there are so many exceptions that its fall elections are not now watched with as much

general interest as those of Vermont. THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE'S SAD BLUNDER.

IN EVERY CAMPAIGN THAT HAS always been some candidate who in his a costly bommefane to himself and his governor, Thomas R. Marshall, has been

gross and coarse denunciation of the clergy of Indiana, because it has seen fit

to align itself on the side of law and order.

It is a remarkable thing that Mr. Marshall should so far forget himself as to critize the ministers of Indiana because the latter want to see the laws enforced. The candidate who stumps the state on that rickety platform might as well quit, for it he lines up against the law-abiding people he will be snowed

under badly.

Of course, Mr. Marshall doesn't want to come right out and clasp hands

with the brewers. He certainly doesn't

creature of the Lieber-Fairbanks combine and that the millionaire brewers

are anchored to the democratic ticket. Certainly, he doesn't!

There was no reason, however, for the irritated Mr. Marshall to use his sarcasm on the clergy of Indiana. If the ministers of Indiana were "beating

a bass drum" in a democratic procession,

with the glad hand. There are too many decent democrats and republicans

in this state who resent the terms used

clergy and their fighting blood is aroused

Don't forget, Mr. Marshall, that just propose to be a stool pigeon for the

help it peddle its wares that he is a temperance crank!

Mr. Marshall's exoriation of the clergymen was in very bad taste and he

is beginning to hear from itrand he won't

he will be surprised to find what it cost him. THE MAN WHO FIGHTS LAW AND ORDER IS A MAN TO WATCH.

Mass!, near the famous rock to say that among the pilgrim fathers were grafters, drunkards and worse! The emotional patriots survived the shock. And" now shall we say because the custom of celebrating Bunker Hill battle has fallen into innocuous desuetude, that patriotism is declining? Certainly not. The custom of celebrating the Fourth of July in the old way has also largely fallen into disuse. What a day that was in your dayl It was generally ushered In by an an vil national salute that was heard over in the next township. Red sashed marshals of the day rode cavorting plow horses. The out communities came in procession wjth fife and drums, with a long wagpnful of girls representing the states and the Goddess of Liberty. Lo, the triumphal march to the grove! When all were hitched and the day wore on. the horses neighed to one another. (How that neighing lives In memory!) The quar tet sang "A Thousand Years. My Own Columbia,' and the "Sword of Bunker mil. v iiu mucu reucity or expres sion and great flourish the Declaration of Independence was religiously read. It was a robust and patriotic way to celebrate, and the memory of it lingers, but The times have changed. Nowadays we save ourselves the nerve exhaustion and give over the day to the boy with his firecrackers and sporting events. Nor need we sigh and exclaim, "O tempora! O mores!" There is a large residue of patriotic pride in lis over that Bunker Hill bat tle, though we have learned it was really fought on another hill. We know It was a brave stroke for freedom. Down deep in tough American hearts Is the old quenchless love of liberty, directed into newer channels, and the old love for the flag. We have only changed our ways, not our hearts. he also edits a paper devoted to Christ ian Endeavor interests. "THIS DATE IN HISTORY."
