PHILADELPHIA, Sept. IL, 1884.
Hon. Neal Dow:
Dear Sir-Please inform me as to
the triumph of the prohibitorY
amendment in Maine, and what part
the Republicans took in the cam
paign, and why Mr.. Blaine didn't
vote. Yours truly,
HARRY WETLEY.
PoRTLANd, Me-, Sept. 10, 1884.
Harry Wetley, ESQ.,;
Dear Sir-We have achieved a glo-
rious victory for prohibition. The
Republican party stood hand in hand
and shoulder to. shoulder with US in
the fight. Mr.. Blaine gave his valu-
able assistance, and he assured me
he refrained from voting at the re-
quest of Ohio Republicans on ac-
count of the blgoted Germans. Re-
spectfully yours, NEAL Dow.

A CAMPAIGN in Louisiana costs less
than in any other State. An orator
can mount box In the open air,
without music and withoutfir works,
and talk about himself by the hour
with no other expense than that of
pine knots furnished by colored
man, who will be paid for the same
in patent Office reports when.the can
didate goes to Congress.

In nothing is the Western freedom
from cunventionalism more striking
than in the latitude given young wo-
men in their amusement. The typi-
cal far Western girl would doubtless
shock her more ssubdued sisters Of
the East in many things. She hunts,
fishes, camps out, rides and tramps
with all the relish shown by the
sterner sex, and in not few Of the
accomplishments is she the equal Of
any of the men. Visitors from the
East have often been seriously en-
barrased on finding that their charm
ing companions of the parlor or the
lawn could load and shoot gun as
well as a riieman, mount and ride
horse like a trooper, or climb noun
tains with untiring limb.

WouIp it not be well for Republic

WOULD it not be well for Republi-
can roustabouts who abuse Missou-
ri's Democratic administration to ex-
anime figures carefully, and see
what are the grounds of their abuse?
For instance, compare the costs OF
the Republican administration with
the costs of the Democratic admins
tration; also compare the credit OF
the State under Republican rule with
her credit under Democratic rule.
During Fletcher's four years as Gov
ernor of the State it cost the State to
run the legislative branch of the
State government s719, 1855 81; dur
ing McClurg's two years as Governor
the legislative department cost the
State S342, ,266 Sc. While the same
cost the State under Governor Crit
tenden's administration of four
years S459, 1884 48. The three ses-
sions of the Legislature held under
Fletcher and McClurg cost the State
81, ,062 ,022 %, while the three ses-
sions of the same body under Phelps
and Crittenden cost the State only
s52O,523 95, or S54I, ,49S 2S less
than the cost of the same body under
Republican rule. This is one item
of saving alone, to say nothing Of
the cost of the public printing under
Democratic rule, which was less by
one-haIf than when the Republicans
did it. Under Republican rule the
bonds of the State went down to
fifty-five cents on the dollar; under
Democratic rule they have advanced
to 1872 cents on the dollar. Is there
uniformly Republican State in the
union that can make such a showing2 z
