Feeling certain of the votes of the South
ern democrats, Mr.. Tilden, with view
of producing favorable effect upon the
vote OF New York, makes sundry prom
ises and pledges concerning what he
would and what be would not do about
the payment of Southern claims if elected
President. But having said in his letter
of acceptance that "ezperience has re-
peatcdly opposed The JattiHy Of sey-im-
posed restrictions by candtd ates," he has
thus himself declared the futility and
worthlessness of the sell.imposed restraints
in his eleventh hour promises. His South
ern claims pledges then. according to him
self, are not worth the paper upon which
they are written.

Only Two Parties-Every Repub-
lican Should do his Duty.

There are only two parties in the field. A vote
must be given to the one or the other. Every re-
publican who neglects to vote for Hayes, either
by voting for third party or by staying at home
on the day of election, votes for Tlldcn. He adds
one to MS count Let this be remembered. Let
the farmer who stays on his farm, the workman
who sticks to his bench, the merchant who remains
at his store on the day of election on the assump-
ton that one vote will not be missed. bear in
mind that his missing vote will be counted for
Tilden, and may elect him.

WILLIAM A. WHEELER,
OF NEW YOIsK.
The Work Goes Brayely On.

Our correspondence from New York
and Washington, in other columns, speaks
with confidence of republican success in
the Presidential election. From those
points the riters are able 10 overlook the
whole political field and obtain an intelli-
gent view of the situation. The cheering
character of both letters is especially
noticeable. They show that work for
Hayes and Wheeler goes bravely on.
They indicate the rise of the tide which
will submerge Tilden and his followers.
All accounts from republican sources in
New York speak with confidence of the
prospect of great victory for Hayes and
Wheeler in that State. There was never
a doubt Of republican success except what
was. occasioned by suspicion Of over
whelming democratic frauds, but the ac-
tivity and promptness of the republicans
in following up the registration and fer
reting out the fraudulent practices perpe-
trated upon 1t inspire belief that Mr.. Til
uCu SouhOb AS-SHd1t tho upOii
ballot-box which by the assistance of
Tweed he carried out in 1868.
This fact once established the last hope
of Tilden is gone. His faith if he has any
in his election rests upon carrying New
York, and Johnny Davenport and his men,
aided by the live republicans of the city
have within the last week shown Mr.. Til
den that the way Of the balot-box suffer
and repeater will be difficult one to
travel in this election, and that in conse-
quence the democrats are sure to be beat
en- in the State.
The skies are bright everywhere with
the promise of another great national vic
tory for the republican party. Let Maine
roll up her 10000 majority for Hayes and
Wheeler on the 9TH Of November.

CoMMITTEE-THE SUCCESS OF THE REPUBLI-
CAN TICKET BEYOND DOUBT SENATOR
BLAINE IN NEW YORK.
FIFTH AVENUE HOTEL,
New York, Oct. 2S, 1876.
To the Editor efMe Ksanebec Journal
The Presidential question will soon be settled
1t is now, however the all absorbing topic. There
is no doubt Of the result. 1t must be admitted
that since the election in Ohio and Indiana the
democrats have professed to be very confident of
electng Mr.. Tilden, and many republicans have
been somewhat tmid, fearing that there might be
a possibility of democratic triumph. The letter
of Gov and would be President Tlden, which
was published Wednesday, was received with
great delight by all republicans. places him on
the defensive. 1t is an open bid for the Presden-
cy. 1t "won't wash, as the boys say. The peo
pie of this country know that the political promise
of Gov Tilden is not worth the paper it is written
upon. They will not forget that this letter was
written for the Northern market, and so late that
it could not be made public South. The voters of
this county will prefer to elect man who is not
Obliged to promise what he is going so do in case
he is elected President
If the election had taken place the week follow
ing the Western elections, Mr.. Tilden might have
carried New York. Now 1t is out of the question ;
the tide has turned, and notwithstanding the i'm
mense fraudulent registration in this city and
Brooklyn, Gov. Hayes will carry this State by a
handsome majority. Of one thing let me assure
your readers the canvass of the State has been
very thoroughly made; every doubtful voter is
known and is being supplied with documents and
| receiving personal appeals. These is no city or
town in the State but will have its public meet
ings. The ablest speakers in the country are here
on the stump. and every republican seems to be
fully aroused as to the situation and determined to
add to the great republican victory which i, sure
ly in store for the people on the 9TH of November
next The frauds upon the registration here and
in Brooklyn are being vigorously followed up, and
by election day every man who is registered and
is not legal voter will be known, and if he at
tempts to vote will be promptly arrested. A letter
just received from the Chairman of the Republi-
can State Committee Of California, says, "Calfor-
MIA is as sure to go for Hayes as is Vermont" /
give you list of the States, together with their
electoral vote, that every member of the National
Committee feels sure will go for Hayes and

shall probably carry, and list of the States con-
coded to Tilden;

FOURTH OF JULY.

We have heard favorable comments from
several of our most prominent citizens upon
the proclamation of the President, in accord
ance with a joint resolution of Congress,
recommending the observance of the Centen-
NAL anniversary Of the Declaration of INDIE
pendence By the delivery of historical sketches
OF the counties and larger towns of the Union
on the coming 4th of July-copies of these
sketches afterwards to be- filed among the
national aud local archives. There is prob
| ably no county Of the same area in the coun-
try that has associated with its history more
interesting incidents, or facts and traditions
more worthy of preservation, than our own
county of Jefferson ; and as it is to be pre-
sumed that at no distant day the material fur
nished the government in the way proposed
will be compiled and published as the centeu.
NAL history of the nation, the importance of
some action being taken on our part in the
subject seems at once apparent. We lay tho
matter before our readers in the hope that
some one Of our able orators may be selected
and arrangements made for carrying out the
recommendation OF Congress. IF anything
is to be done there is no time to lose. What
say our readers?
Since writing the above it has been sug>
gested, in view of the short time afforded for
any organized action, that it would be well
for our town authorities to select a speaker
for the purpose above reverted to, and invite
him to deliver the address-requesting the
citizens of the county to join in the celebra>
ton proposed-and take such other action as
may be necessary. We hope they will do So.

REPUBLICAN, NATIONAL eoNYEEs
TION.

The proceedings of the Republican Ma
tional Convention at Cincinnati closed on Frs
day, on the seventh ballot, with the nomina-
ton of Rutherford b. Hayes, of Ohio, for
President of the United States, and William
a. Wheeler, of New York, for Vice-Pres-
ident. The final vote stood 3S4 for Hayes,
351 for Blaine, and 81 for Bristow. The
platform cOugratulates the republican party
of having purged the country of slavery; de-
clares that the United States is a nation and
not a league, and that the republican party is
the defender of popular government; that it
is its duty to protect citizens everywhere +;
demands a steady progress towards specie pay
ments declares that Senators and Represen-
tatives ought not to dictate appointments, aud
that fitness and capacity should be the sole
passports TO Office; recommends a constitu-
tional amendment against appropriations for
schools under sectarian control; opposes
further grants to railroads, but says nothing
about subsidies by means of government loans
to or Endorsements of bonds of railroad corr
porations (; thinks something or other should
be done on moral and political grounds about
the Chinese, but that it is the duty of the
government to protect all other classes of inn
migrants denOunccs Polygnmy ; says a kind
word for the woman suffragists another and
a stronger for the soldiers deprecates sec
tional strife, and at the same time provokes
it by denOuncing the democratic party, as
allied to and sympathizing with treason, and
at the close praises President Grant for his
patriotic services, and as deserving the con-
tinued gratitude of the American people.

OUR STATE PLATFORM.

We publish to-day, on our first page, re-
deemed from some of the gross typographical
errors of the Courier and other journals, our
State Platform. It's strength and pertinency
asadeelaration of Democratic principles, become
more apparent since tho Radical manifesto
has been promulgated from Cincinnati. By
a comparison, the contrast stands out in bold
relief. First, the Radical party undertakes
By national power and interference, to en-
force all .'tho truths Of the Declaration of
Independence" both in State and Federal
governments while We emphaticAlly main
tain the right of each State to govern itself,
''leaving to each of them the solution of the
questions and difficulties arising therein, sub
ject only to the Constitution Of the United
States" The Radicals demand further en-
Jorcen,eat Eurs, and intimate that Congress
and the Executive are to override the Su-
preme Court in lis ezpositiors of the Consti-
tuition; while our platform insists upon the
"independeuco Of the Supreme Court, pre-
served against intimidation, or undue infu>
enco on the part Of the coordinate Depart
ments Of the General Government" and, "no
occupation Of State territory By Federal forces,
eaoe =- OF the civil aurhUr:ty, upon de-
mand Of the Governor, as in The Constitution
prescribed Not a word is to be found in
the Radical manifesto about AMNESTY; while
We announce Universal, unconditional Am
nesty,' as one Of the cardinal principles of
cur party. Again, the Radicals recommend
IN amendment to the Constitution ':forbid~
ding the application Of any public funds or
property By the States for the benefit of any
schools or institutions under scctarian con-
troll" while the true and all important Dem
Ocrat;c doctrine On this suffice. is embodied
in the demand by Us that there shall be '.No
Interference b the General Government With
education or religion in the States upon any
Pretezt Whatever, Lowover plausible"
Finally, it will be found, On analysis of the
Radical declaration Of principles, that the
only appeals to the Constitution to be found
therein, are made in behalf of Al extension
and consolidation of power in the hands of
tbs General Government; while our State
platform makes that sacred instrument the
only charter by which tie people arc to be
protected against ali encroachmerts and usur-
Pations on the part OF their public servants
and agencies.
We shall have more to say in condemnation
OF the Radical proclamation hereafter for
the present, we can only invite a careful study
OF our State platform, which seems to US, up
to this point, Gin the language of Hon. John
j. Davis before the Coryeution), s.to mbodv
a Judicious aud comprehensive expression of
true Democratic principles" OF the financial
plank, of which We have not yet spoken. its
wisdom will, We predict, be abundaDtly con,
frmed and made manifest BY the action of
the National Convention at St. Louis,
