vote more time to the youths of our

A QUEER STORY.
The Jews Said to Have Chosen a King for
| Themsolvea.

The Jews Said to Have Chosen King for
Themselves.
From the Boston Traveller.
Apropos of the Jews, l heard story
the other day that admirably illustrates
their intense belief in their future. 1t
was told me by poet:
"A few years ago l was visiting at
the house of -- in New York,
and there was brilliant company as
sembled there. One evening there
was reception, and among the peo-
pie who came was gentleman of such
noble mein, such lofty features, such a
superb and dignifed presence. such
placid serenity, such a manly beauty
in every line of his face and person, l
couldn't turn my eyes away from him.
He seemed to hold me with spell.
l think he was the handsomest man l
ever saw; it wasn't merely physical
beauty; it was spiritual beauty as well.
His whole face was radiant with the
solar light He had very dark eyes
large, oriental eyes-a leonine mass of
black hair, and was full-bearded. l
was so fascinated by him that l hardly
felt like talking; but, after awhile found
myself seated beside a charming Jew
ess, Miss Y, a young woman full
of enthusiasm for her race, and proud
to talk of it.
"On'" said she, "'the day is not far
distant when we shall 60 back to Jeru-
salem. We are accommodating wealth
and power that we may bring them
together there and make it like the city
of dream. The great bankers, the
Rothschilds, and the rest, will bring
their wealth there, and we shall rebuild
the temple with their treasure. We
have the capacity to do great things.
Our blood makes good leaders. Bea-
consfield is a Jew. Jules Simon is
Jew, and there is Hebrew blood in
Gambetta's veins. Then in the arts
we have shown our capacity for sue

is no knowing to what heights we might
rise if the foot of the world was taken
off our necks. as it will be, as it surely
will be, for God has promised-your
God and mine
"'Then,' said the poet, you'll
choose you kiag-one of the Roths-
childs, suppose?
"'No, no, we have our king. Our
king must be of the lineage of David
"'And can you find son of David
after all these centuries?
"'Oh, yes; it is part of our religion
to keep the family records. There must
be setting straight of genealogies at
every week of week years (49 years).
We know where to find our king-he
is already chosen, waiting to be
crowned
"'And where is he now q asked the
poet.
60 There said the Jewess, and she
pointdd to the man wha had so fas-
cinated me. 1T is the Baron - of
London; he is recognized by all who
keep the faith as the one upon whose
head the crown would be placed if the
day of restoration should come to-

The Signs of the Times.

But two days now remain before the most
important election known in the history of
Maine politics is to be held. Its importance
cannot be overestimated. By victory for
Col. ROBBIE good government is assured to our
State for the next two years. If the Republi-
can party is successful at the polls next Mon
day the business of our State will be transacted
without the turmoil and confusion that has
characterized the regime of Harris M. Plais-
ted.
If we fail TO make Frederick Robbie our next
Governor we open door for Democratic shoe
stri strictng in Maine, we allow Harris
M. aisted to Insult the highest tribunal in
onr land and be approved of for so doing. We
open a door for Democratic filibustering that
it will be ha | TO close, for once let the oppo-
sitiou gain foothold in the State of Maine and
the leaders of that mongrel party will stop
nothing to perpetuate by any and all means
their power in the State
We shall not be disappointed In the result on
Monday We know the people of this State
demand good government and without brag or
buster we candidly say that ali the indications
point to the election of our entire State and
county ticket, and we see nothing on the surface
at least, that can in any way change that re-
suit.
From nearly all parts of the State there come
renorts of gains The so-called Independent
movement is a Plasted device, and is manipu-
lated by a small NJ mber of ex-otficias and dis
appointed place seekers. They have neither
vote nor influence. Let the Republicans OF
Maine, and especially those whose interests are
bound up in the industrial interests OF the
State, see to it that every Republican vote is
polled next Monday. 1t means victory, secur-
ity and the end of the disgraceful demagogism
which may be styled Plaistedism.

Forward!

Republicans You are today going to
he polls. For what? to administer scath-
ing and lasting rebuke to the Fusionists, to
condemn Plaisted for his chicanery. You
should give the coalition and it's cunning
and INSCRIPTIONS chief Waterloo defeat.
Our advices show that the only thing neces-
sary is to poll every Republican vote, and
the work is accomplished. But, Republic
cans, mere success is not sufficient. You
owe it to yourselves to elect Robe Governor
by handsome majority-one worthily rep
sentative of Maine. This can only be eff
fected by energetic work. An exhaustive
canvass, accurately made, has just been
completed. Itshows that we have the votes;
it now rests with you to bring them out
Republicans! We call upon every one OF
you, individually, to do his best. From
the time the polls are opened until the vote
Of your city or town is declared, your motto
should be, Work! See to it that every
doubtful or Indifferent voter is brought to
the ward-room and his ballot thrown for
the right side. If he promises to come
make it your duty to see that he does so,
even if you have to call round for him once,
twice, thrice, to effect this. The advices
from all parts of the State are such as to
give emphatic reason for satisfaction. From
York to Aroostook come reports of cheering
nature. Our friends, realizing the emer-
gency, are rallied in solid column and will
make splendid fight. Do not leave some
body else to do the work, but let every man
take hold in earnest and do his part to
make victory not only sure, but overwhelm-
ing. Let Republican zeal and perseverance,
only end with the closing of the polls, and
the result will be sure to well repay US for
our exertions.

Up Guards and at En-.

Republicans of Maine. victory is yours to
day if you will but seize upon it. Our can
vass shows that the State is ours if Republi-
cans do their duty. There ought to be 40
doubt of that The watchword must be
work, work, work, and again, work, until
the going down of the sun to-day. If Re-
publicans are guided by the spirit of that
watchword the sun will set upon a State re-
deemed and victory won.
Republicans should give this day to their
party, and direct all their efforts to its sue
cess. Each man should make it matter of
personal interest, take all the appeals made
throughout the canvass as made to himself,
and give his time and strength and all the
power that is in him to the accomplishment
of Republican victory. He should not
trust to the work done and doing by the ac-
tive leaders in his town or city; he should
not trust to the work done by his neighbor;
he should make the fight his fight and go in
to win. Old men and young men, the Old

can party, nay, the Veteran Reserve it.

Buckle to It.

Republicans of Maine, your State calls up
on you to come forth in your strength and
do your duty. In county, town or village,
bear in mind that there is an imperative be-
hest for you to bend your utmost energies
to the work of making the coming rout of
the Fusionists as complete as possible. That
obligation begins noao and ends only upon
the closing of the polls neat Monday. Every
vote will tell in raising the figures of the
Republican majority. Be sure to bear in
mind that the vote of Maine will be watched
for eagerly throughout the land, and that it
is incumbent upon every one of you to do
his best to make the overthrow Of the Fu-
sionsts most overwhelming. Let them be
convinced by the logic of the ballot-box that
the voters of Maine want no more of them
and theirs, that they are branded before the
people as empires and charlatans, and that
their petty schemes have miscarried. Maine
has decided to send these pinchbeck politi-
clans and their clap-trap demagoguery to
the rear. Let no Republican fail to do his
utmost to make th ir coming lesson as Sc
we're as possible.

BANGOR Wing: Republicans of Maine,
you are fighting for the rights of allan
honest and honored Executive department,
for an impartial and non-partisan Judiciary,
for honest and faithful representation In
Congress, for dignity and ability in the Unit
ed States Senate, for all that is worth any
thing in politics or craftsmanship. You are
fighting against the mere partisan and per-
sonal grievances of political adventurer in
the Governors chair, against the threat of a
debauched judiciary, against unfaithful re-
presentation in Congress, and against par
ty so devoid of principle as to be absolutely
nameless in its own estimation. The con-
trast is before you in policy, AID it is equal
ly great in the candidates who represent
you. Your ticket is good throughout and
every man on it worthy of all honor. Well
may you ask, if we cannot win with these
men and these principles may we not despair
of the people?

The County Ticket.

The Republicans of Cumberland County
have mt into the field one of the best tickets
thew ever nominated. All the men whose
names appear on it are eminently fit for the
positions for which they are named. Inc
ticket should be voted as whole by Repub-
licans. and they should not permit them
selves to be led to cut it by solicitations OF
opposition candidates, no matter how strong
the personal liking they entertain for those
candidates.

CONCORD Monitor. The course of Gov.
Plaisted has been such for the past year as
to create serious apprehensions for the we'll
fare of the State on the part of thinking peo-
Pile. When an official sets his own opinion
and wishes above all other branches of the
government, it is time for well-meaning peo-
pie to check him in his career, and relegate
him to private life. Gov. Plaisted has man
aged to antagonize himself with the Court,
Council, and Legislature, during his term of
office, to an offensive degree, and it would
be administering deserved rebuke to de-
feat him handsomely at the polls. And we
believe this will be done, Notwithstanding
the defiant boasting of the Fusionists.

The Paramount Issue.

Fhe gravest and most important issue Of
this campaign and one which should dead
every Republican and every other citizen in
terested in good government to the polls to-
day, is the fact that four members of Con-
gross are to be chosen who may quite posi-
bly, carry with them the control of the Ma
tional House of Representatives. A persis-
tent and somewhat successful effort has
been made by the Fusionists to obscure this
great fact by uproar aboutthe differences be-
tween Plaisted and his Council. While there
can be no doubt in the minds of candid men
who have examined the subject carefully,
that the Council should be fnlly sustained
in it's protest against the attempted usurpa-
ton by the Governor of powers not warrant
ed by the Constitution and laws of M inc,
subordinate to the larger national interests
which are involved. If any Republican fails
to be interested in the local matter, ne
should not therefore abate his zeal in the
National cause The choice of United
States Senator is also involved and should
lead to special effort ia the election of MEM
bers of the State Legislature. Bear in mind
that four National Representatives and o sc
Senator are the stupendous prizes of to-day's
contest, and the nation expects every Maine
Republican to do his full duty.
