Address of the National Republi

The following is the address of the
Republican National Committee:
The Republican National Committee
congratulate the party which tley rep
resent and the country upon the result
of the fall elections already held. In
Maine II Republican majority of less
than 5000 has been increased to nearly
10000. In Vermont the old ascend
cncv has been fully maintained. In
Colorado Democratic majority Of p
600 has been overcome and IA Rcpubl-
can governor and both branches OF the
legislature elected, securing two L. $.
Senators and three Presidential electors
In Ohio. the Republican majority of
$500 has been increased to between
5000 and 10000, and Republican Con
grcssmcn have been gained. In In
diana the Democratic majority of H.
900 has been reduced to 5000, with a
gain of four Republican Congressman
and the legislature upon joint ballot.
These highly gratifying results have
been obtained in the face 81 frauds at
the ballot box and in the unparalleled
use of money by the opposition. They
show the drift Of popular sentiment and
clearly Indicate national victory tor
the Republican party in November.
All that is now necessary is to continue
Il vigorous prosecution of the campaign
to secure protection for all citizens in
the right oi the ballot; to bring all lille
gal voters to the polls, and to practice
the utmost vigilance on the day of cleo
ton. Fortunately for the country, our
candidates represent the best spirit of
reform to which they were pledged by
every act and utterance of their lives.
Their success alone will insure honest
administration and preserve the Gov
eminent from the unfricmdly hands
of those VITO formerly sought to de-
stroy it, and who now seek to prey up
on its resources.
