To the Democracy OF Pennsy lyania:-
The sturdy democracy OF Maine have covered

victory
The two parties were last arrayed at the polls upon
nearly equal to her vote OF 1854 while Pennsylvania
pOlled her largest vote.
In 1906 radicalism received in Maine 69,637 votes.
In 1868 IL receives as they themselves estimate,
1902 votes. This an increase OF eight per cent
upon the vote OF 1866.
In 1865 democracy there received A. s47 votes and
In 1868 1t received So 725 votes This Is an increase
OF thirty per cent upon the vote OF 1885,
In 1865 radicalism received in Pennsylvania 307 ga
votes, and democracy received 800, 096 votes.
Apply the test OF Maine to this vote and racsfcasm

cent or D. 5Sl votes making total OF 331 S55 votes
and democracy will receive an increase of thirty per

democratic majority of 45, 900 votes.

Pennsylvania will assert that the relative proportion

Maine voted for John G. Fremont, yet James Blu

led the column OF States that made him the Chief
Executive OF the nation.
The hope of the republic is In the democracy of the

AS in 1866, the responsibility OF determining the
contest now rests with you.
Maine has proven that you can again bring til.

Let us arouse to renewed energy and more deter

LONDON, Sept. Is, 1868.
Sir John Young Bart present Governor General
OF New South Wales and ex-Ionian Commissioner,
has been named for Governor General OF Canada.
SIR JOHN YOUNG
IA the eldest aon and heir of the late Sir william
Young OF Marlborough Castle in the county Of Ca
van Ireland. His father was prominent member
Of the East India Company in days past. Retiring
with fortune, Sir William offered himself as cand
date for the representation of Cavan in Parliament
but was defeated, his political opinions not agreeing
exactly with those OF the Earl Of Farnham, who pos
4essed, through his numerous tenantry the chief
interest at the elections In that district. After
lew years Mr.. John Young, the newly appointed
ruler Of Canada, then young man. presented him
self as candidate to the voters Of Cavan and was
returned to represent them in the House Of Com
mons in conjunction with Mr.. Henry Maxwell who
succeeded to the Farnham peerage, and has just
lost his life by the melancholy disaster by fire in the
Irish mail train travelling through Wales for Lon
don. Mi. Y0ung-now Sir John Young, after the
decease Of his father-soon obtained the notice OF
Parliament both by his digent attention to his
duties and his sound practical knowledge on all
matters relating to Ireland. The late Sir Robert
Peel at once noticed his availability for public life
and, with Mr.. Young's consent, ranked him with his
party Of moderate conservatives, anxious to do JUS
tice to Ireland without repeal Of the legislative
union. Under Peels Premiership Sir John Young
u0lQ Lne OIuCc Vi JOiuI lTedbuTy OF
England, which he distinguished himself by his
application to business, his judicious use of the
Official patronage cOnfided to him, and his freedom
from religious and political prejudlces.
Slr John comes Of an old scotch family, having its
origin with John Young burgess OF Edinburg'
In the year 1541. The Governor Of Canada was born
on the 3Ist Of August, 1907, and married April 8,
1885, Adelaide Annabella, daughter OF the late Mar
chioness of HeadfOrt by her first husband Edward
Tute Dalton. His family is thus intimately connected
with the Countess Of Cavan, Meath and Westmeath,
In Ireland. During the years Immediately past Sir
John Young has ruled the colony Of New South
Wales in very successful manner in the name of
Queen Victoria, and is likely from his habits, dis
elimination, caution and experience, but particu-
aarly from his accurate appreciation of the Irish
Character, to prove equally useful to the English
Crown IN Canada
