To the Polls!

in this election is that of depositing our
full vote in the balIot-box. This is work
of great Importance. If well done
FREDERICK Robe and the whole re-
publican congressional ticket will be
elected by 5000 clear majority, legisla-
ture largely republican in both branches
will be chosen and the reelection Of WM.-

cured, and the State will be relieved of
Governor who regards neither the Consti-
tuition nor the Laws when they conflict
with his partisan or personal wishes and
aspirations.
The time for argument has passed. The
final act is now in order. Every republi-
can voter is called upon to place his vote
in the ballot-box. and do whatever he may
then find to do in assisting others to vote
the republican ticket, and seeing that we
have fair and honest election, fall vote
and impartial count and an accurate re-
turn.
Vote early. Let every republican make
it a point to be at the polls early.
heavy vote during the first hour has
great influence upon the vote of the day.
II encourages, inspires, strengthens, and
clears the way for thorough and successful
work in looking up and bringing in voters
who are halting and slow.
Vote the regular ticket. The ticket
stands for republican principles. When
for the principles of the party, not to
please or displease. to aid or injure the
individuals whose names are upon the
ticket you carry, but to advance and pro-
mote the policies and principles to which
the republican party stands committed.
TO mutilate ticket for personal pique or
spite is an unmanly act prompted by
narrow view Of the duty which men owe
TO themselves and their party
Attend the polls and be active. 1t helps
to have men show an interest in the cleo
ton even if they can do no more than to
see the work go on. Orderly attendance
at the polls is one of the safeguards for
honest elections.
Bring out every voter. Until the last
republican voter has cast his ballot the
work of the day will not be complete
One vote has sometimes elected Gov
ernor. a member of Congress, a represen-
tative or senator in the legislature. No
matter how big your majority may be in
your own town or ci.y, remember that
this is State election, and every vote
may be needed to elect the State ticket.
With faithful work at the polls to-day
the republicans will roll up handsome
majority. Our opponents feel already that
they are defeated. They have no heart
to work for the ticket for it represents
nothing but trade and cheat. We are a
united party; they are a conglomeration
OF factions. We are strong because we
are unit; they are weak because they are
divided among themselves. II every re-
publican does his whole duty to-day we
shall be able to rejoice tonight over
glorious victory gallantly won.

Chantllar'S Band.

Chandler's Band have about completed ar
rangements for their series of concerts to aid
in obtaining new uniform. The tickets will
soon be ready and we are sure there will be a
generous response, for thi band is a source of
pride to our citizens, its fame not confined to
our city or State, but extending throughout
New England. 1t is our place to give the MEM
bers substantial support in their endeavors to
maintain the high standard they have at
tanned in interpreting popular and classical
music, always remembering that it is only
through the efforts of such organizations that
musical taste is educated and fostered. Who
among us cannot remember the pleasure We
felt in our younger days at the inestimable
privilege of following the band through the
streets, hunger and fatigue forgotten as the
fullness and resonance of its martial strains
filled our being with ecstatic delight, or when
at the outdoor concerts, the sublime strains of
Auber, Rossini Spohr or Mercadante, inter-
spersed with the rollicking strains of some ne
gro melody or popular song, laid in our youth
full hearts the foundations of love for music
that was everlasting The band Is the popular
educator, and to the masses who seldom enter
the concert room, this is the medium through
which they hear and learn to appreciate the
best music of the day. Therefore let our citi-
zens see to it that this course is financial sue
cess Let them show the members that they
appreciate their endeavors to keep the band up
to its present high standard and they will ex-
perience justly personal pride in the encomi-
ums that are lavished upon it wherever it is

Republican government" To those who
heard the eloquent pleadings. of Mrs. Stone
last October for ali that is right and just and
honorable to be given to women, it is only nec-

The Boston 81 Names Proposed Elevated

The Boston 81 Names Proposed Elevated
Entrance into Boston.
The Boston Journal says:-The more the
proposed scheme of the Boston & Maine to
change its manner of entrance into this city by
constructing an elevated road above its present
location is considered the more surely will the
conviction arise that the scheme demands the
most careful attention, not only upon the part
OF the Legislature, but from the management
of the railroad itself. 1t is acknowledged by
the management of the road, we believe, and
by bridge builders also, that the scheme will
cost nearly, II not quite, $2,0OO,000 as the land
of the railroad company upon the eastern side
of Causeway street, at present occupied by the
company, will exceed in value $500,0OO. 1t
would seem that before granting the road leave
to build the elevated tracks at SO great an ex-
pense the Legislature would do well to coRsid-
er whether plan cannot be devised whereby
the frontage of the Eastern, Boston q Maine
and Fitchburg roads upon Causeway street,
some 600 feet in width, can be utilized for their
passenger traffic. All of the three roads in
ent passenger stations. 1t is believed that the
Fitchburg and Eastern roads have ample
grounds for freight purposes, which might be
SO arranged as to avoid the necessity of the
Boston & Maine expending large sum OF
money for the proposed elevated entrance
across Causeway street. The public interest
in having the location Of the stations at the
North End settled upon permanent and I'M
proved basis is sufficient to. have the present
Legislature examine into the questions now
before it, and enact the laws that will best
serve all parties interested.

ing the manifold discomforts that the youth of

tain an education. His portrayal Of the condi-
tion of the school houses of that time was COM
prehensive and entertaining, and the great
progress that our town has made in the way of
school houses and public and private buildings
also, was clearly presented.
The remarks of Rev. "A. D. Decelle, pastor
of the Roman Catholic church, and Rev. e.
E. Bacon, pastor OF the Congregational church,
were of very interesting character. Super
visor Hatch and 7. S. Burns, principal of the
High school, in brief addresses illustrated for

tions. A brief but facetious speech by Mr..
