A Voice from Hancock

To the Editor of the Press:
The other night I received by mail a sheet
called "The National Enquirer" purporting
to be printed in Lewiston, but looking to me
like an illegitimate child Of the Demo-Green-
back Party, " it'll nothing in its columns that
tells me who sends it out to insult honest men
or where to direct an answer to repel the in
suit thus crowded on unsuspecting people. ]
am therefore forced 10 use your columns to an
swer some of its appeals.
1t appeals to the Working Glass (of which
am one) and calls them the "burdened tax
payers" and the farmers hopelessly struggling
along under merciless mortgage" &c, &c.,
and calls on them to 20 to the polls on the 18th
inst and cast their votes for freedom and
constitutional government" &c.
am laboriDg man, one OF the 'plain peo-
pie" that Governor Plaisted pirates so feelingly
about / am depending on the "merciless
Shylocks" Gas he terms our monied men) for
my daily bread. And make a good living,
am honestly paid every dollar, my taxes are
reasonable, and feel l am wonderfully IA
voredl
My employers are Republicans. My asses
sors are Republicans, too! And the best to me
of all is / am Republican, and, God sparing
me till Monday, / shall put in the ballot box
one vote for our gallant standard-bearer, Col.
Robbie, to be one of the 5000 majority over ALL
ONE OF THE PLAIN MEN OF HANCOCK COUNTY.

PORTSMOUTH Chronicle: Governor Plais-
ted of Maine is convinced, doubtless, that
the political tide is running against him.
He made an effort in his speech at Augusta
to turn discussion into a new channel, by
making grave charges against the manage
ment of the State Reform School. He stated
that gross abuses were prevalent there, and
cited several illustrations to prove his state
ment. Bat the superintendent of the school,
the chaplain, several of the trustees, and
other gentlemen whose word is unimpeach-
able, have promptly denounced the Cover
nor's charges as unqualifedly false. Plaisted
will have to devise some other means to re-
trieve his falling political fortunes.
THE New Age having said that Farmers
will remember when they pay their taxes
that Republican Congress refused to re-
duce taxes when the government had one
hundred and thirty-seven millions of surplus
money in the treasury" the Gardiner Home
Journal aptly replies: "That sounds as
though the Age wanted farmers to believe
that Congress could reduce the taxes they
have to pay the Collector, when it has. moth
ing at all to do with it. The Republican
Congress ''refused'' to reduce taxation, be-
cause the Democrats would agree to moth
ing unless the tax was reduced on whlskey
and tobacco"

Indications are multiplying that the Flu
sionists are making mighty struggle to Sc
cure the Legislature. There are in this
State many close Legislative Districts that
may be lost by the indifference Or detection
of Republicans. 1t is within the range of
possibilities that our opponents gain the Leg
islature. What does that mean? 1t means
much more than the control of the State for
two years. Itdetermines the political con-
stitution of the United States Senate. 1t
settles the question whether William T.
Frye-a man who distinguishes the State,
who is recognized by his political opponents
as one of the abest members of the august
chamber in which he sits, who has done so
much for Maine industries and interests
and who will find opportunities to do more
shall be re urned to the chair he now fills,
or whether some place hunter, inexperi-
enced, untried, and Unqualified, shall sue
coed him.
This is one of the dominant issues of the
campaign; and its determination depends
upon the Legislature we are to elect Mon
day. The Republicans can have majority
in that Legislature if they choose. They
can have it by eecting the candidates they
have named in their caucuses. Those can
didates can, in a majority of Districts, be
chosen if they receive the hearty and undi-
yided support of the Republican party.
If the candidates be worthy-as presume
bly, they are-they should receive that sap
port We do not advise any voter to cast
his ballot for man who is unfit to repre-
sent his town-for one who is dishonest or
incapable-but we do advise Republicans ev-
erywhere, in every legislative district of the
State, to vote for honest and capable nomi-
nees, regardless of the struggles that may
have preceded the nominations No per-
sonal ambitions, and no personal dislikes,
should influence any Republican. Aspirants
must often be disappointed, and other aspi-
rants. luckier, or shrewder, or worthier
than they, win. Disappointment like these
and defeats of this kind are cheerfully
borne by honorable men who prefer the
success of the party and the furtherance of
its policy to their own advancement. The
scars they get in the conflict are marks that
no veteran is ashamed to show-marks that
indicate good soldiership and are the surest
recommendation for promotion. He who
surrenders his own desires that he may pro-
mote the welfare of the country and the par
ty deserves well of his fellows and is GER
tain of his reward.

Professor Blackis IN the Class
Room,

The relations which subsistea between this
ripe scholar and his crew of rough Scotch stu
dents were such as an Oxford tutor would
faint to think of. Here is a sketch, not from
the Imagination, of the lecture of a session in
the Greek classroom at Edinburgh:
The Professor-Ana now will read to you
song have just written. Immense applause.
First, will read it in Greek, and then, since
probably none of you know enough Greek to
understand it-[Oh! Oh!]-I will read it in the
barbarous tongue which you can comprehend.
Laughter.
A Celt on one of the back benches-"Sing 1t
Blackie!''
[Cheers, cat-calls laughter, roars of "Sing
t!' the Professor vainly endeavoring to get q
hearing. In lull of the storm he calculates
"Yon are pack of -; the epithet is
drowned in howlsl.
The Professor gathering up his papers II
won't read the song at ALL Profound silence,
The Professor Smiling benignly Very we'll
my dear fellows, since you really seem able to
behave yourselves, will read the song. And
Blackie, whom all the rough lads adore, begins
to recite his song in Greek and then in ''the
barbarous tongue"-and capital song 1t ISL

A Full Vote Means Victoryl

The issues, State and National, involved
in this campaign have been fully discussed
on the stump and in the papers; and proba-
bly, nothing can now be said that will change
the opinions of the voters of Maine. Many,
indeed most, we are persuaded, are con-
WINGED that the Republicans are right and
the Fusionists wrong. Those who have
been misled by the sophistries of Plaisted
and his henchmen will probably persist in
their delusion.
We are convinced that the majority of
the voters in this State are opposed to Plais-
tedism and utterly out of sympathy with
the varying opinions on national questions
held by the Fusionists. If they come to the
polls and show their faith by their votes the
corrupt and unprincipled coalition which is
striving for spoils, not for principles, will
be put down, never again to make its APP
pearance in politics. The only thing needed
to achieve this most desirable result is a full
vote. A full vote means Republican vic
tory; and to obtain it we need the vote of
every true Republican. He who neglects
his duty next Monday is most censurable.
He who discharges that duty faithfully will
feel the qualification that follows upon work
well done.

THE New York Tribune calls attention in
the following words to the interest our peo-
pie have in the election of Republican Con-
gressmen: ''It would be strange indeed if
the people of Maine should send to represent
them at Washington four associates of the
Free Trade Democracy. As respects some
other phases of the tariff question, man
can hardly know what the Democratic party
would do if it had the power, but upon the
matters that chiefly affect the industries and
thu prosperity of Maine there is no room to
doubt what it would do. Four members of
Congress, helping that party to elect a
Democratic Speaker, might have power to
turn the scale, and thus to insure. without
further direct aid of their own, action in the
last degree hostile to the interests of Maine.
Not without reason have the people of tn 1t
State for many years chosen Republicans to
represent them in Congress, with few excer-
tions, and now, when every vote will count
in the election of four members, their ma
jority ought to be so large as to make dis
pute impossible"
THE Kennebec Journal quotes the follow
ing from Eben Pillsbury's speech at Cape
Elizabeth: "The officers and stockholders
of national banks have pecuniary interest
in maintaining the supremacy of the Repub
lcan party SO that they may continue to
divide the profits arising from issuing paper
money instead of saving it to the people by
having it issued by the government" The
Journal pertinently asks: 'Is Mr.. Dane,
president of the Kennebunk National Bank
and Fusion candidate for Congress, in favor
of maintaining the supremacy of the Re-
publican party? Is Darius Alden, president
Of the Granite National Bank of Augusta
and chief supporter of Daniel FL. Thing, al
SO favorable to the success of the Republi-
can party? Or is Pillsbury, being citizen
of Massachusetts, ignorant that the name of
one bank president is upon the Fusion tick
ct, and another has mortgage upon Mr..
Thing?''
