CONGRESSMAN FRYE.

We have to congratulate the respecta-
bic people of this Congressional District
on the reelection of Hon VIM. p. Frye
as their representative to Congress. For
ten years Mr.. Frye has ably represented
this District. We have patterned wisely
after older States in returning Mr.. Frye
term after term to his seat in Congress.
By his long service, he has been enabled
to make himself familiar with Congress
sional duties, and become acquainted
with prominent men from all parts Of the
country. With this advantage added to
his natural ability and integrity Of char
acter, he has become one Of the most
prominent characters in National politics
today. He is undoubtedly the leader OF
Republican forces in Congress today and
will continue to be until he is called to a
higher position in the National Councils.
Mr.. FRYE is not only national charac-
ter, but he is man of the people, beloved
and respected at home. In Oxford Coun-
ty he carried % more votes at this cleo
ton than were given for Gov. Davis,
while he led his competitor by 222 votes
We do not propose to draw any compari-
son between Mr.. Frye and his competitor,
+. NJ. Fogg, for they should not be men,
toned in the same breath but for the po-
sitions in which they are placed by polit-
ical parties, and as they thus become the
representatives of these parties. II
would indeed have been a sad blow to
this community if the party which placed
a man like Fogg in competition with Mr.
Frye, should have triumphed. The
District has shown that it respectes Itself
and maintains a political integrity which
seems TO have been lost in some section:
of the State.
The following complementary notice
of our candidate, cut from the Ellsworth
american, shows how his election is re.
garded in another section OF the State:
One OF the most gratifying things in tn,
result Is the great triumph of Hon. VIM. L
Frye In the "a District. He beats Tabula-
tor Fogg all TO pieces, aud his district ha'
the proud satisfaction OF electing one oi
the foremost men in the country by al
overwhelming majority, over man who
has done his best in the last three years tC
make politics in Maine despicable. Mr.
Frye opened the campaign this year II
Hancock county, and set the ball a-rollina
which has never stopped nom that day
Ellsworth recalls with pleasure and proh
MIR. Fryes speech at our County conven
vention.
