Centaur
LIN | Nj EN- ! S

THE GREAT PAIN RELIEVING and
curative remedies have already worked their
way into every hamlet where the English Ian
guage is spoken. That the reputation of and
demand for such remedies as these are
should extend and increase, could not be other
wise. THERE rs NO PAIN, soreness or
swelling which they will not alleviate. There
are but exceptional cases of constitutions
humors and distorted joints, which they do not
cure, and none they will not benefit. They
are SOOTHING, absorbing and emollient.
They EXTRACT THE PAIN from and heal
burns and scalds without scars For RHEU-
MATIC AFFECTIONS, pains in the back,
stiff joints, wounds, strains and eruptions, they
act with ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY. These
preparations are of two kinds, the FAMILY
and the ANIMAL Liniments. Being uniyer-
sally adapted to the external ailments of man
and beast the name of the HALF-HORSE
and HALF-MAN Centaurs was naturally at
tached to them. They perform cures never be-
fore effected by any remedy. Undoubtedly
more of them are sold than Of all other lini-
ments, ointments, oils, embrocations, plasters
and so-called pain-killers combined.
The WHITE Centaur Liniment cures Rheu-
matism, Sciatica, Lumbago and Tic doul-
ourux.
IT RELIEVES Neuralgia and all kinds of
pain.
1T HEALS wounds, sores, gals and pois-
onous bites.
IT CURES Itch, Pimples and Salt Rheum.
IT SUBDUES Inflammation and pain.

Our Representative Ticket

The Republican convention which met
Yesterday to choose candidates for Repre-
sentatives from this city did an excel
lent piece of work and assured success.
The ticket is as strong one as could be
made and will not only command the united
Republican vote of the city but will draw
upon the opposition.
At the head of the ticket stands the name
of Moses NJ Butler, than whom no better
man to represent the interests of the city of
Portland in the Legislature can be found
within its limits. His thorough knowledge
of city affairs, the mastery manner in which
he managed the city finances and its
railroad problems while he was Mayor, the
great benefit he did the city in regard to the
matter of valuation, make him an en-
inently fit Representative of the ciy's inter-
ests. He will be valuable man in the
Legislature next winter, especially when
discussions concerning Portland affairs are
entered upon.
Almon A. Strout is a gentleman whose
legal attainments, long and successful prac-
tice at the bar and wide acquaintance
throughout the State, will give him a COM
manding position in the House and enable
him to exert powerful infuence,-an in
fuence which will be exerted in furtherirg
the interests of the city. His nomination
will commend itself to the citizens of Port
land.
Reuel Maxcy is a citizen who needs no in
PRODUCTION. A member of the firm cl
Charles E. Jose & Company he is repre-
sentative of the business interests of the
city He has also had experience in its
government, having served as alderman
from ward one, at the time of his election
running many votes ahead Of his ticket-a
fact that attests his well-deserved popular
ity where he is known best.
Samuel Augustus True is amember of the
well-known firm of Waldron & True, and
by universal testimony one of the most hon
orable members of the mercantile commu-
nifty, and one of the most highly esteemed
A modest man, of quiet and retiring man
ner, he has repeatedly declined to accept
nominations for office, though urgently So
licited In sending him to the Legislature
the city will confer an honor upon itself as
well as upon an estimable citizen.
John B. Coyle, Jr., the popular agent OF
the Portland Steam Packet Company, is so
well known and so generally liked and es-
teemed that he will command a heavy vote.
Mr.. Coyle will make an excellent represen-
tative,-for, Portland boy, he has grown
UP with the city, is identified with its inter
ests, and will be an able defender of them.
We repeat, this is a strong ticket, and
satisfactory one; but in order to elect it the
Republicans of Portland must go to work.
Our enemies are adroit and unscrupulous.
We must poll our full vote.

A Word to a Republican.

Gen. Garfield of Ohio speaks at City Hall
tonight. There is no need to introduce
him to our readers Maine people delight to
hear him; for they know how eloquent and
effective a speaker he is. The Hall will be
packed and his utterances will be cheered to
the echo.
But we want to say word to each Repub-
lican that listens to Gen. Garfield tonight.
You, Republican, Will go to the hall and
listen with delight and liberally applaud,
and go away feeling confident OF victory,
feeling very likely that you have done your
whole duty. But you must remember that
something more than listening to speeches,
however good, is necessary to victory. You
must remember that the strong position the
Republican party now holds in this contest
is due to hard, persistent, intelligent and
untiring work that has been done for weeks
and months by men who have not contented
themselves with listening to speeches or
making them, but who have put their own
shoulders to the wheel, trusting to no Her
cules of an orator to eXtricate the Republi-
can cart from last years baked mud. You
must remember that without your co-opera-
tion this work of weeks NAV be wasted.
You must remember that you have duty to
perform, the duty of putting your shoulder
to the wheel, the duty of stripping off your
coat, blouse or b1oadcloth, and going into
the fight. You must remember that when
the speaker calls upon Republicans to re-
deem this State and so send good cheer and
aid to your brothers in Ohio, as very likely
he will do, and as you enthusiastically ap-
plaud the appeal, as you very likely will
you must remember that he is talking to you,
that it is yo,T aid he is asking for, that it is
to you the argument and appeal are ad-
dressed, to you personally.
Remember these things, Republican, when
you are at the Hall and after you get home.
Remember them, and act, work. do all that
lies in your power, as an individual, to carry
the county, to carry the State. And remem-
Der, too, that casting your vote for the Re-
publican nominees is not all that you can do.
Look about you and you can find plenty of
work. Do that work.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Bangor Wig at
Parkman writes that paper: II am happy
to be able to report that of the fifteen or
more Republican Greenbackers of last year,
fully two-thirds of them propose to vote
with us this year. There are also several
old Democrats who cannot take the combs
nation dose, and will vote for Corporal Davis.
1 have no knowledge of any one who voted
the Republican ticket last year that will not
this. We expect to poll as large a Republic
can vote in this town in September as we
over did -

DILL TOOLS FOR BUYING.

A good dollar is a sharp buying tool. The
tuying power that is in it cuts keenly and pre-
cisely; as well in one bargain as another, at
one time as at another. Thus it cheats no
man. Why does anybody want to have dull
tools used? When we can just as well have
our dollars sharp, what is the use in having
them dull? Clearly none, for those who want
to buv. For them the dollars that will buy
most are the best. But for the men who have
THINGS to SELL are not dull and cheap dollars
very fine? Cheap money makes high prices,
so-caIled. He who has land, or crops, or goods
to SELL can get for them more poor dollars than
good dollars, and he is very apt to think only
of the number and to shut his eyes to the kind
of dollars. "Things sell better" he says, for
getting that they would sell still more quickly,
and for more pieces of paper called dollars

Boston Adrertiser: Our special CORE
spondent in Maine gives very encouraging
account of the progress of the canvass in the
southern county of the State. Last year the
combined votes of the Democrats and Green
hackers exceeded the Republican vote in
York county by 1900. This year the two
parties unite on the county and legislative
tickets, and yet our correspondent predicts
with assurance that the Republicans will
carry the county.

in the world that Republican Greenbackers
despise as they do Eben F. Pillsbury." If
that be so the Republican Greenbackers,
however daft they are on the currency ques-
ton, are sound on the Pillsbury question.
But they should show their contempt by re-
fusing to vote for Smith, Pillsbury's tool.

Boston Transcript: "The mineral wealth
of Maine was glowingly described by Profess
sor c. NJ. Hitchcock at the meeting of scien-
lists in Saratoga on Thursday. Speaking of
the Blue Hill copper mines, he said the belt
is four miles long, and evidences of silver
and even of gold have been found in work
ing the mines. He thinks the working of
silver will ultimately be successful. Traces
of tin are found in Maine. With so much
metal in its borders this State should repu-
diate all Greenback charlatanry"

COLONEL JESSE HARPER is as muddled
in his metaphors as in his ideas on finance.
In speech recently delivered in Oxford
county he foretold the future of the country
in case the Greenback party had the man

"The infant nation, now lying, gem upon
its mothers arm, shall grow to be tabern-
acle, a Jacobs ladder towering to heaven"

THE argus is still rallying the PRESS upon
an error it made at the beginning of the
canvass concerning the time of State cleo
tion, an error the argus did not discover till
long after it was corrected. The difference
between the PRESS and Argus is this: The
PRESS made typographical blunder; the
argus makes political blunders.

said that the disgrace resting upon the sub
sidizers is greater than the disgrace resting
upon the subsidized.

THIS from the Somerset Reporter: The
pay roll of the Republican Senate for 1879
was 1913 less than for the year 1878, and
the pay roll of the fusion House was $3.50
more than 1878. Had the House pay roll
shown the same relative reduction as the
Senate it would have been $1,000 less than in
1878 instead of being $3.50 more. This
shows difference of 81, $50 in favor of the
Republican Senate as compared with the
Demo- Greenback House. How is that for
sweet economy?

1876 and 1878.

Every Democratic -Greenbacker dates his
comparisons from the year 1856, the lastyear
of Democratic rule in this State, as an Arab
| reckons from the Hegira.
Well, how did the Democrats get along
the last year of their rule? They received
and turned into the Treasury for general
/ State purposes the sum of $4,000 from the
sale of the public lands, which they now say
were all sold or given away by the Republi-
cans; they sold and turned in IS, 500 of stock
of the Augusta Bank owned by the State;
and they increased the bonded debt of the
State in the sum of $4,000, ir time of
profound peace, with no unusual demands
on the Treasury. II at was Democratic fl
nanciering.
No wonder they could get along with tax
of two mills on the dollar. A rate of four
mills is necessary now. Why? Because
one mill on the valuation is levied especially
for the common schools. That was not done
in 1856. Then it takes two mills of taxation
now to pay the war debt and interest, for
which the Democratic party is clearly re-
sponsibe. If it were not for these items,
the common schools and the war debt, the
rate of State taxation need not be more
than one mill on the dolar-or one half
what it was in 1856.

the Republican ticket, will vote the Green
back or Democratic ticket, while there are
