Patriotism requires the union advocated

the State, il they cannot now say who shall
be Governor, can say by their action on
election day who shall mol be, and hereafter
can say through their representatives who
shall be. This thing they can do by uniting
upon men who will vote to send to the Senate
the names Of Mr.. Reed and Mr. Morrill,, and
ro,iag for none OiAers. They can apply the
practical blow which shall lay on, +" s,ia and

there are six Districts which could have
elected an Anti, Pilsbury man to the Legis.

Lyman and Hollis District, and 81 in the
Kennebunk and Alfred District In these
districts Anti.Nebraska men can be elected,
