How TO VoTE.
We have received many letters from jifereut
sections of the State nqairing for whom it is best
to vote for Governor next Monday. Thousands
upon thousands Of democrats feel that they cannot
vote for Williams, and thereby confess that Hayes
title to the Presidency is legal and that the decis-
ions of the Electoral Commission were iudicially
right
So far as we can learn there is general dispo-
sition among those who feel that they must vote
for Governor, to cast their ballots for JOHN C.
TALBOT, the candidate of last year. We
know of no better or truer man in the State than
he.
Many will simply vote the County and Repre-
sentative ticket cutting off the name of Goversor

The LAST THREAD CUT!
The telegraph of this Wednesday morning an
nounced that Mr.. Williams made q speech Tues
day night at Augusta in response to a serenade.
The dispatch says
,t'rha anaach UNA mainly ,o,o,oj a. . .lor...s
'of his Interpretation Of the second plank in the
democratic platform, which he claims does not
"mean that President Hayes holds his office by
"any fraud on the part Of the Electoral Commits
sion"
If, as the Associated Press dispatch above rep
resents. Mr.. Williams, even at this late hour, has
entered upon defense of the abhorred acts of
that majority of the Electoral Commission, then
he has cut the last thread that should bind any
democrat to his support! The decisions of that
Commission were INDUSTRIOUS! Shall they be
endorsed by voting fer Williams NUi-Bangor

A VOICE FROM PORTLAND.
One Of the most energetic and efficient workers
and organizers in the democratic party in Port
land-one who has larger personal following,
and who has probably paid more money during
the last ten years for party purposes than any
other democrat in the city, writes to one of our
business men 10 Bangor as follows:
There is a great difference of opinion in this
city about our coming election and the only sal
walton we have is to put third cand idate in the
field with License in view; otherwise our chance
is gone Hundreds in this city will not vote for
Mr.. Williams or his platform. If TALBOT is
put into the field we can make good show
Bangor Commercial.
WILLIAMS TX NORTHERN PENoBsCoT.
If the friends of Mr. Williams are entertaining
any high hopes Of securing good vote in this
part Of Penobscot County the sooner they settle
in their minds that such is not to be the result, the
less will be their disappointment.
Why should a democrat support Mr.. Williams J
10 draw votes from the opposite party, we are
told When did we ever gain anything by sup
porting candidate taken from the republican fol-
lowing What did we gain by the Greedy move.
mentf 1t left our party disorganized and utterly
routed. As often as we select men to be our stan
dard bearers from other partie. just so often we will
meet defeat. Have we not able men to be our lead.
or II not, it is time to dsband and be no longer
party. Had we not cultured, talented men like
ROBERTS, MADIoAN, ANDERSON, TITcoMB and
many others that might be men toned, we migh,
be excused for looking out of the party for men
to head our tickets Had we chosen in place Of
Mr.. Williams one of the gentlemen mentioned a.
bove, we could this year have placed our flag, if
not on the enemy's works nearer than it has been

gained by sacrificing principle and self-re-

! No, We CAN NOT and WILL NOT support Joseph
