The Views Ofthe Republican Can
didate for Vice President.

A correspondent ofthe New York Tribune called
upon Hon. William a. Wheeler at his home last
week and had an interesting conversation upon
the political situation of the country. With re-
gard to the Southern question, upon which Mr..
Wheeler is peculiarly well informed, owing to his
official visit to and investigations in Louisiana, he
is said to entertain the deepest interest. lie said
that all other questions seemed to him subordi-
nate to the one consideration whether the South,
with its present spirit, is to be again intrusted
with the Government of the United States. The
danger OF the ultimate payment Of those classes of
Southern claims which he does not think are
barred by the amendments TO the Constitution,
and which Mr.. Tilden in his recent letter admits
may be paid without violating the provisions of
that instrument, is, he said, very serious one,
and yet, like any other involving only the finan-
cial welfare Of tie country it is in his judgment
temporary and secondary in its character when
compared with that Of turning back the hands on
the dial Of human progress in this country, and
that he believes would be the result of a demo-
cratic victory at this time. We copy the main
points Of tie interview. Mr.. Wheeler said

Reports from New York continue To- be
of the most satisfactory character to re-
publicans The leading financial and
business men all over the State are up in
arms against Tilden and Hendricks. They
see disaster looming up before the country
if the rebel section should get control of
the government.
Democrats of lifetime are going to
vote for Hayes and Wheeler in large mum.
bers. They dare not stick to their party
longer, while the danger signals waving
against the election Of Tilden are so plain
ly to be seen on every hand They say so
boldly. Many of them have signed APP
peals in the newspapers in favor of the
election Of Hayes and Wheeler, and thou
sands of others are giving their influence
privately for the republican ticket
The attempt by the democrats to carry
the city by a silicent number OF fraudulent
votes to overcome the republican majority
outside of the city will be defeated by the
activity and energy of the republicans.
These frauds have been the only hope of
the democrats. The Times Of Tuesday
says:
The last week OF the campaign opens
with bright prospects in every direction.
and especially in this State The republi-
cans are thoroughly aroused, as our news
columns this morning show, and are work
ing from the St. Lawrence to the Bay with
hearty energy and with unwavering con-
iidence. They are convinced, now, that
their efforts will not be wasted, and that
the city of New York will not be allowed
to override by fraud the honest majorities
given in the interior of the State. That
great cheating was undertaken here, there
is no doubt; but it has become so danger
Gus that it will not be followed up. All we
now ask of our friends in the other parts
of the State is to get out their full, honest
vote. We believe that when this is done,
New York city will be ready to compare
results, and need not be ashamed of its
part in the contest. The republicans Of
New York city have an overwhelming
majority to contend against, but they will
do their whole duty, and they will see that
the frauds which Tiden's circular so ma
terially helped in 1868 are not repeated.
Let the republicans of the interior do as
well as New York city, and Mr. Tilden
will be buried out of sight"

The Duty of the Citizen.

Every republican voter must be at the
polls on election day. Rain Of shine, he
must vote. No business transaction, no
social pleasure, no inducement whatever
must keep him away. On one vote the
fate OF a State may depend; on one vote
the fate of Congressman may rest; on
one vote the character of the next admin
istration may depend. Who shall take
upon himself the fearful responsibility OF
risking the loss of the State or nation by
neglecting to cast his voteP We call up
on loyal men everywhere to prepare in
time for the performance of the duty OF
citizenship on the 9Th day of November
Until the close of the polls we must work
as II on single vote depended the future
safety of the nation.

News for Gardiner.

a correspondent of the Bangor Com
mercial writing from Augusta of The "Po-
litical Outlook of the Kennebec," says:
"On recent visit to Gardiner we re-
ceived the most encouraging accounts of
the condition Of the democracy in that
city, and were assured that on Tuesday of
next week the showing of the votes of the
Gardiner democrats will be a considerable
gain npon the last election"
Judging by the way in which the Gardi-
ner democrats ''petered out" in Septem-
Der it will be safe to say that their "con-
siderable gain in November will not be
very heavy. The republicans in Gardiner
are host. and they will be likely to be at
the polls next Tuesday in full strength.
