lican rejoicings, and aid honest men to
overthrow the corrupt democracy OF that
State.
| This is the initial contest Of the struggle
that will take place in 1876. Whoever
means to vote the republican ticket THEN
should vote it TODAY 1t is Of as much
Importance NOW as it will be THEN.
There will he but two parties then, there
are but two to-day, and with ONE or the
OTHER every man will cast his influence.
We appeal therefore to all who believe in
republican principles and hope tor their
success to place themselves squarely on
record to-day on that side.
Let no republican because of trivial
matters fail to vote the ticket-the WHOLE
ticket. Look to the success of the prin-
ciples which the republican ticket repre-
sents. Remember the sacrifices in blood
and treasure which that corrupt and terri
bly, wicked organization known as the
DEMOCRATIC PARTY has cost this
country. and exert your whole influence
against it.
There have been some arrangements
among republicans in the past which have
passed Or are passing away. Let them
be forgotten. All who think alike on the
main questions should act together in har
mony. Lay broad and deep the founda-
tons of the party for 1876.
Let every republican manifest a lively
interest in the success of his ticket to-day.
He should not only v0te without being re-
minded Of his duty, but VOTE EARLY,
STIR UP the LUKEwARM and APATHETIc,
and give his presence and assistance At
the polls, If necessary, from the time they
open until they close.
Young men! put your whole energy in.
to the work to-day. Old men! be true as
steel to the principles Of the republican
party which you have thus far sustained,
through good and evil report. Soldiers
stand by the noble COMMON as you and
he stood by the cause Of your country in
the battle field.
Finally. let every republican DO HIS
WHOLE DUTY to-day, and when the sun
sets tonight ANOTHER GLORIOUS
VICTORY will have been achieved by the
stanch and reliable republicans of Maine.
ZNTERESTIN THE NAME ELECTION
The interest felt in other States in the
Maine election of to-day approximates
closely to that which is felt in the Presi.
Dental election year. The Boston Jour.
nal speaks the prevailing sentiment wher
it says:
1--WE are not certain. indeed, THAT TIKI
ELECTION IN THE GREAT STATE OF Ono
In October will be really so IMPORTANT
as this of NEXT MONDAY in MAINE
not only because this will powerfully in
huence that, but because it may more
fairly reflect the broad. permanent politi
cal influences of the times. One. half O
the unsatisfactory signs Of the times are
due to republican indifference. 1t has
been felt by rogues and schemers tina
even where we have the strength. we are
not wide awake enough to exert it. The
Maine republicans will show that the day
of that listlessness Is gone by--that ever
in an ordinary State election they cal
come out in full force, prompted by the;
earnest interest in the great questions be
fore the country. They will strike once
more for the cause of equal rights, for ma
tional harmony on the basis of pure justice
for an honest currency, for the mainte
nance of the good faith Of the government
for integrity and economy in office, an,
for education. just taxation, peace ant
prosperity among the people. The caus'
is worthy of the fullest vote they can give
and WE EXPECT THEM TO GIVE IT,.
SPURIOUS VOTES.

ballot box.
VOTE EARLY.
Be sure and vote early. The earlier Tia
