The State Election.

Were we not to call attention 10 our
State election. next Monday. so quiet are
the times. We fear some would overlook
it, and lose the privilege OF voting. We
say pririlege-for it is not only n daty,
but should be regarded Is pTiViiege by
every intelligent, risht-minded citizen to
exercise the right OF citizenship. and the
obligations which citizenship in a Tree
country imposes. We are aware that
many regard the act Of voting ~ an
empty form. enuring to the benefit only
Of some ofllce-seeker who is too lazy 10
get an honest livelihood as most folks do.
but this is partial and very superficial
view.
Free government is the election Of our
rulers. and the people must give express
sion TO their choice by voting for the diff
ierent government officers. 1t won't do
to say that only favored few get the Of
fees. The primary meetings where the
nominations are made. are open TO all.
and those who fail TO attend. because of
indifference or because they may lose
few hours time, have no right to find
fault with the nominations made. We
hold il TO be the duty of every freeman 10
attend all political meetings and dis
charge his whole duty by dom. al 10 bis
power to obtain good government.
The republicans of Oxford County can
most heartily and conscieutiously support
the nominees made this year, from that
Of Governor down. Hon. NELSON
DlNGLEY, JR., our worthy candidate
for the Gubernatorial office. is u man OF
unsullied reputation. whose qualifications
for the position, both natural and acquired,
are so marked as TO be generally coneed-
Cd by his opponents. His habits OF thought
and study. tor many years, have been IN
tho line of politics. He is thoroughly
rersed in the affairs of State, and has that
independence Of character which is so
desirable in a public man. lie has always
been az the front in the advocacy OF every
moral reform. and is thoroughly progress
sive, while he is careful and considerable.
Honesty and independence Of action will
mark his administration. The republican
party could not have Il worthier standard
bearer. and il will honor and strengthen
itself by giving him a hearty support as
il undoubtedly will.
Our County ticket Is uneXceptionable.
We have heretofore spoken of IFS nomi-
nees individually. They are all good men
and true. whom We can all support cheer.
July. Nay. We can afford to put ourselves
out. oven 70 making some self. denial. 10

them. Let every one realize the impor-
lance Of bis vote. remembering that the
great aggregate is made up Of individual
votes, and tina, every one tells.
Republicans Of Oxford County. make
il point 10 be at home Election day and
vote, and you will have the satisfaction OF
knowing that you have aided in smother
good old REPUBLICAN VICTORY. and
that you have right to rejoice in it as
your own! Vote. if you have the strength
to get to the Polls!
