,r pou,hlicans of Cumberland County,
-.ho have without single exception elected
var, candidate on the county ticket, since
no oroanization of the Republican party. are
cain called upon to make their yearly en-
dorsement of the early and latter principles of |
the party. There has been no strange "de-
but uniform and consistent course |
of principle and action, which now as former
ly commends itself to the active support of
the 1860 Republican voters, which to-day are
borne upon the list of our party canvassers.
Should each party bring to the polls its entire
strength, there would be at least 1000 Repub
lican majority. Oar majority for Governor
Chamberlain in 1868 was 1S47-for President
Grant, 3092-For Gov. Perham, l1S9. When
there is apathy there is a smaller majority.
Just before the Presidential election, instead
of apathy there should be increased vigilance.
The importance of flll vote cannot be over
rated. We call upon our Republican friends
in this county to be active from now until
election, and not allow the sly but active efforts
of the same old enemy to put us in a false po-
sition. Our State and county ticket is fault
less. Hon. Sidney Perham is again the can
ddate for Governor. In every capacity he has
met the antcipations of his warmest admir-
ers, aud to day the few Republicans VINO last
year failed to support him are among his
warmest supporters.
Hon. Charles j. Morris is renominated for
senator. He has ably represented the city
two years in the lower branch, and was among
the most influential and diligeGt senators in
the last Legislature. He will bring an increased
aud ripper experience to the duties of the next
Legislature and will be one of the best sena-
tors in the Chamber. Henry Pennell of Gray
| has probably had longer political expert
| ence than any person ON the ticket. 1t goes
back forty years, when he was commissioned
| Deputy Sheriff. Then, and ever since he has
taken great interest in political questions, and
is well posted. He has served two years in
the House, and has been Sheriffof the county
for four years. In whatever capacity he has
been called upon by the people to act, he has
| acted his part honorably and well.
Caleb A. Chaplin of Harrison is a lawyer
a gentleman OF ability and reliable every
| time His term of service as County Com

appreciation of his social and political worth

Commissioners with credit to himself, and is
reliable business man.-Smith Barber, OF Fal
mouth, is the candidate for County Commits
sioner, an intelligent farmer and mechanic
He is faithful representative of those inter
ests. He has never been on the county tick
ct, but has been oftentimes honored with
trusty positions by his own townsmen. Thorn
as Pennell, OF Harpswell, is again on tn
ticket for County Treasurer. He has served
the county in the capacity of Sheriff, and ha
always fulfilled his obligations with honor an,
integrity.

nation that labor and fidelity in public trus
produce among the many that are called up
on to do business at the Probate Court.
