The Importance of a Vote,

Inc importance OF d VOl0,
Often times in the history of our country
has tho importance of one vote been fully
demonstrated. In more than one Instance has
a representative to Congress been elected by
one majority. At one time Governor in
Massachusetts was elected by a majority of one
vote. An instance of that kind was seen in
the Republican Convention held in Machias
last Thursday. The only county officer nomi-
mated by ballot was nominated by one ma
jority.
jority, and just as binding as hundred. In
all important elections every voter should fee
that the decision of important questions may
depend upon whether he deposits his vote OF
not In the present election, as was graph1
cally depicted by Mr.. Frye at Machias, the Loss
OF one Republican vote in any sown may
change the political complexion Of the govern
ment of the nation. Every Republican voter
in every town and city in Maine should fee
from this time until the last moment of Sep
tember 18th, that the entire destiny of the
United States for years to come may rest on
the vote which he has the power to deposit in
the ballot bex or withhold.
AS plurality of votes in Maine elects Gov
.rnor and representatives to Congress, as also
the Legislature, the majority in both Houses
of the next Congress may be determined by
YOUR vote or mine on the eleventh day of Sep
TENDER next.
If any Republican voter feels sore to think
that some pet idea of his, however laudable or
patriotic it may have been, was defeated in
Convention because the majority did not con
cur in his idea, and for the moment determines
to withhold his vote from the properly consti
tuted candidates. or any of them, let sach {
one carefully considered what the result Of
withholding one vote may be.

Not to Be Caught Nappin


There are evidences that Plaisted has got
frightened at the effect of his threat to initiate
the State Steal. The threat was thrown out to
feel the public pulse, and to ascertain if voters
who couldn't be coaxed into acquiescence in
Plaistedism couldn't be frightened by the
ghost of another violent disturbance of the
peace such as Garcelonism wrought 1t had
the opposite effect, and even the dull intellect
of Fusionism perceives that 1t incites hostility
at once to all phases of election frauds and the
perpetrators thereof. Plaisted is therefore now
playing coyness and high virtue; he will follow
up probably with another long-drawn whim-
peIing grievance about Republican persecution.
The people of Maine, however, are too used to
his small methods of campaigning to be de-
ceived by him. Whether he means to be un-
derstood as really backing down from his
threat or whether he takes the ground that he
has been misrepresented, makes little differ
ence. The public believe he is capable OF do
ing anything to promote his own interests and
TO carry his own narrow points. They have
ample reason for this belief. On certain oc-
casion, the following dispatch was forwarded
to Augusta:
BANGOR, Dec. %. We the undersigned citizens
of Bangor, believe that the Governor and Council
of this State in the inspection OF the returns and
tGbltldton Of the same which have just been COM
peted have acted in compliance with the Constitu-
ton and the laws and we will sustain them and the
constituted authorities of the State, to any ertent
and at all hazards.
Harris M. Plaisted signed this despatch. He
was instrumental in sending it to Garcelon and
his infamous Council, who we're then about to
perfect the conspiracy which came near revo-
| lutionizing this State. Harris M. Plaisted has
not grown large or wise since, and only the
lack of opportunity Oh the want of courage will
deter him from dsing what he urged others to
do. The safest reliance is upon his lack Of
courage. Bury Fusion under a tremendous
majority and violators of the ballot will find
| their Gubernatorial chief a chief no longer
| Therefore trust no Fusion promise, but work
for Fusion defeat A tull vote will bring peace
| and good government

Plaisted's Diplomacy.


aPerhaps the most amusing of the Fusion eff
forts at raising an issue is their recent projec-
ton of letter ON many prominent Republi-
cans, asking them what they think of civil SER
vice reform. AS prominent Republicans in
this and other States are about the only praeti-
cal civil service reformers, these circulars
which the Argus publishes, seem to smack of
that diplomatic quality without which Plais-
tedism would not bs recognizable. 1t was due
LARGELY to the efforts OF the Republican delega-
ton in Congress from Maine that an appropri-
alton was voted to enable the President to en-
force the civil service reform legislation, and
it is well known that in Congress If one wishes
to get up derisive laughter from the Democrat
IL side he has but earnestly to press measures
for the reform of the civil service.
Tt is clear to every independent voter that
gentlemen who have submitted to the immense
assessments made ON the Fusion ofice-holders
in Maine this year, must laugh at one another,
like Delphic priests, when they take off their
masks and really look into one anothers faces.
If civil service reformers wait for Governor
Plaisted to ring in the political millennium,
we submit that whole cycles of politics are to
be grievously disappointed. The position of
the Republican press and OF representative
Republicans throughout the country, on civil
service reform, is roof that as the friends of
temperance have accomplished through the
Republican party what could hot be accom-
plished through any other agency, so the
friends of civil service reform must look to see
that party which has played SO conspicuous
and successful part in national reform, the
agent to carry through further reforms. The
civil service of the country is capable of fur
Their improvement, but since Buchanan's time
it has been reconstructed in the interests of
honesty and efficiency to an extent which will
most happily surprise those who have the best
memories or opportunity to compare the per-
ceAtage of steals under the Democratic and
under the Republican regimes, or to note the
comparative efficiency of the postal, the treas
ury or other department service. And when
we come to Maine and ask where the friends
of civil service reform are, we are most certain
we shall not find them among such as that Ex-
ecutiye who does his werst to punish the Ju-
dietary Of the State for being true. while deal
ing his most prodigous blows at an esteemed
Democratic Judge appointed by a Republican
Governor!

A reporter happened to hear the following con-
versation a day or two since, betty two ladies
who were walking on fremont St.
"Sue, why. do people patent almost everything
now-a-dayS?'
"To protect themselves in its use, and to realize
the profits Incident to manufacture, presume, To
what are you referring, Amelia, particularly"

'sYes 1 know they good Amelia, know they
have cured Mr.. W. A. Whitney, OF New York, 33
W 9th st. of Dyspepsia and nervous Prostration,
and lots of others too. But what is it you are trying
to find out?''

paration, Sue"
''Well analysis shows that in preparing wheat for
food the large part of its most valuable properties
is lost In Wheat Bitters these phosphates are ex-
tracted directly from the wheat, and preserved in
solution with the most approved vegetable bitters.
"What do you mean, Sue by phosphates?"
"There can be no thought without phosphates;
there can be no vigor OF life without phosphates;
and Wheat Btters contains these phosphates in the
most beneficial and available FORM"
"Then the phosphates are the active principles in
these bitters, are they?'
ITO certain extent yes. Chemically compound
ed they efficient helps to the rest of the elements

DELL of Randolph, VT. feels justified in saying sum

"Precsey. A good, A. l. actual remedy for these
complaints has seldom been found. The prop ie-
tors of Wheat Bitters hare just such preparation,

impose upon the public in their name

THE instigators and chief operators OF the
l. dependent Republican movement, If the
petulant little outbreak can be dignifed by
the name of movement" are men soured
and disappointed because the Republican
party has failed to continue them in public
place. They don't seem to comprehend how
mean and dishonorable thing it is to de-
sert the party from which they have sought
and obtained support on the instant when it
fails to longer give them place. 1t gives rise
to the very natural suspicion that their at
tachment to the Republican party was pure
ly mercenary aud that their motive in seek
ing to form new organization is selfish and
personal. To be sure their mouths are full
of high-sounding professions OF superior
virtue, but their past careers stamp such
pretestations as insincere and designed for
effect. They seek to delude honest and we'll
meaning people into action which they
themselves are taking from motives SO mean
that they seek to obscure them by cloud OF
pretty words.

BIDDEFoRD Journal: Don't say to your
self, 81 am only one voter, and even If l do
put myself out and go and vote it will make
no difference" 1t will: the majority in this
county is small. Every vote should be cast
that can be lawfully, and no man is true
Republican who will not on Sept. 18th, even
at the expense of personal inconvenience,
put himself out enough to vote for the most
excellent ticket of the Republican party of
this State and county. We believe every
Republican in York county who can will be
at the polls on that day. We believe they
appreciate the great Importance of the pend
ing election, and will do their part not only
to carry York county, but to elect Col. 10
bic and our four Congressman by a hand
some majority.

Another Burning Issue

The Argus has another complaint to make
against the management of the Reform
School. 1t is that Mr.. Higgins, house pain
ter and ventriloquist, was not permitted dur
ing working hours to "amuse the boys" Dy a
display OF his ventriloquial powers. Mr..
Higgins was hired 20 do some painting at
the School; but preferred to entertain the
inmates by exhibiting his Accomplishments
as a ventriloquist. He liked that better, and
found it easier, than dipping brush into
bucket of white lead. The management
thought that he should keep to his work and
that the boys should keep to theirs: but per-
mtted him to give an entertainment In the
work shop after the hours of labor. OF this
permission he availed himself, and the boys,
we are told by the Argus, were delighted.
Still Mr.. Higgins feels aggrieved. He thinks
he ought to have been permitted to drop the
brush and the boys their tools during the
hours of labor in order that he might exer-
else himself and amuse them with the pleas
ing accomplishment in which he takes so
much pleasure. His pride is touched, and
with the aid of Governor Plaisted, he seeks
to make this arbitrary action of the manage
ment burning State issue. 1t is certainly OF
enough Importance to attract the attention
of our chief magistrate, and worthy
to rank with that other great question
whether boy shall be sent to bed without
his supper if he refuses to obey his parents
or guardians. If there great questions are
decided against the Governor and Mr.. Hig-
gins it is to feared that both will "abdicate."

Very Innocent.
The Sentinel, in an agonizing appeal to the
Clinton forces', to "charga haYanets." SAYS:


"Union forces" to 'charge bayenets," says:
'If necessary, contribute of your means to the le-
Ultimate expe SEES. In this State there are more
Than 70 0O0 Union voters. The little item OF ten
cents each gives fund of 81 900. A fund sufiici-
emily large for all lawful purposes"
Ten cents sachl Seven thousand dollars!
Why, bless you, neighbor, you oughtto be more
careful how you talk about the dear Union
ists"! Don't you know that in the last cam
paign over $4,000 was sent by sly old Sammy
Tlden into York County alone in his vain at
tempt to defeat Thomas B. Reed, the man who
roasted him 50 in that cross examination rela-
tive to the cipher telegram? And don't you
know that it did not reach Bddeford in time
to be distributed to the back towns, and conse-
quently that the heavy Unionist vote was con-
fined to the towns along the lines of railroad
and within driving distance of Biddefors?
If our esteemed contemporary does not
know, it ought to, that Gov. Plaisted has al
ready had sent him by the anti-Monopoly
League $1,000 and that he has sent $500 of it
to York county with a promise of more to fol-
low, based upon pledge from the League to
send 81 900 more and pledge from ex-Speak-
or Randall and the Democratic National Com
mittee for $25, 600. The Sentinel says ~ 200
is enough for all lawful purposes. What is to
be done with the balance?

A CONTRIBUTOR to Chamberss Journal
says: ''The higher dexterity, taste and skill
a business requires, the more does the Amer
lean workman respond to the demand. There
is rising in the United States race OF art
lists, designers and artifcers who promise to
surpass those of all other nations. The fer
yor of the climate develops tho aesthetic
side of a man, the clash of millions of eager,
inventive minds is producing standard OF
excellence that is both newell and exalted,
the possibilities of wealth are vastly beyond
hose Of any European state, and the love OF
the elegant and beautiful pervades all classes.
The inevitable sequence of these conditions
must be widespread, all-dominating art. 1t
is seen in the glorious public buildings, in
the exquisite villas, in the light yet strong
furniture, in the beautiful appointments of
drawing rooms and table equipages; while
every American lady, yea, though black, is
living evidence of an innate taste in dress
that makes the English suffer in COMPARE
son. Into every avenue of life this charac-
teristic of taste goes, modifying manners
and behavior as much as architecture, fur
niture, dress, ornaments and TOOLS"
