REPUBLICAN NOMINATIONS.
FOR GOVERNOR.
DANIEL +. DAVIS
OF coRINTH.

lean labor of weeks has been but the
preparation for the casting of the ballot
to-day. Let no republican consider the
struggle ended until every vote that can
he secured for Davis is deposited III the
ballot-box and fairly counted, recorded
and returned.
All over the State this morning the pros
pect is cheering to the republican party.
From east to west and north to south, the
most hopeful signs appear. If the repub-
licans do not gain a magnificent victory
to-day there is no efficacy in honest truth
as political corrective, no power in no.
BILE, manly effort, and no truth in figures.
We planted ourselves in this fight upon
the solid rock of sound principle, while
our opponents rested their hopes of sue
cess upon a truck and-dicker combination.
We shall win the victory. as we deserve
to; they will have the defeat and humili
alton which they have richly merited.
All men who believe in honest money,
the same currency for laborer and bond
holder, are in sympathy with the republi-
can party whatever their party
name may have been beforehand ought
to give their votes for DANIEL F. DAVIS
and the whole republican ticket
All those who believe in an honest. fair
ballot North and South, in even-hand-
ed justice 10 rich and poor, black and
white, are with republicans in heart and
ought to vote with them to-day the ticket
which represents those leas-that headed
by DANIEL +. DAVIS.
Every citizen of Maine who believes in
schoolhouses, i'm elevating the character of
the people by education and by good
and wholesome laws in the inter-
est Of morality, in fulfilling the duties we
owe to soldiers and soldiers orphans, and
by promoting by all suitable measures
the material prosperity of the State and
the comfort and happiness of its people,
are in accord with the republican party,
and should not fail TO cast their votes for
DANIEL +. DAVIS.
The party which is opposed to Daniel F.
Davis is the truck and-dicker party, so
named because the offices have been trad
ed out to certain men who are to have
them if the party succeeds. 1t has no
higher motive than to beat the republican
party and grasp the offices. Eben +.
Pillsbury is to go to the United States Sem
ate if truck-and-dicker wins. The other
officers are also parceled out. A vote
for Joseph l.. Smith or Garcelon and
the combination ticket is therefore
vote to put the. Kingfield Secesh into
the Senate as co-worker with Hill, La
mar and Gordon i'm cndeavoring to regain
for the South all that it lost by the rebel
lion.
But the issues which enter into the fight
have been so thoroughly discussed and
are so well understood that il is unneces-
sary to speak at any length in regard to
them. Our duty now is to cast every vote
for the republican ticket.

OF good deal of mischief Sticl, closa

Let the opposition have a fair chance TO

lege.
Last Of all see that the votes are prop-
