Feftotc Citizens and Old FrieHds-Tse
Republicans of Maine may well CON
graduate themselves on the magnificent
victory which they have woa. Four
years age this evening We we're over
whelmed and Inundated by the loss of
the State. We now rejoice over the un-
paralleled triumph which is registered
by the choice of both branches of the
Legislature, by electing all the Repre-
sentatiyes to Congress, and all of the
county ottisers In every county in the
State except one. aud by popular ma

question discussed In our canvass, and
the people have responded nobly. They
understand the subject fully. They
know the details of the Morrison tariff
bill. and they read therein the precise
results which would follow If our
opponents should obtain control Of the
National Government. They know that
the Morrison bill enacted into law
would seriously cripple, il not utterly
destroy, the leading industrial interests
of Maine that 1t would reduce the
wages of every laboring man and stop
manufacturing enterprise in the State.
Seeing this, the people Of Maine have
protested against the enactment of so
destructive a measure, aud have vet the
seal of dlsapprobation upon the Demo
cratic party that supports 1t. Many
Democrats of Maine, who never before
wavered In their allegiance 20 the party,
have ranged themselves today on the
side Of protection to American indus

party discipline is powerless against the
convictions Of men.
The issue on the temperance amend
ment to the Constitution has been very
properly and very rigidly separated
from the political contest in the State.
Today many Democrats voted for it,
and some Republicans against it. Some
Republicans, by the desire of the lead
ers of the Temperance party, took no
action on the amendment. For myself,
decided not to vote at all on the ques-
ti0n. took this position because | am
chosen by the Republican party as the
representative of National issues, and
by no act of mine shall any
question be obtruded into a National
campaign which belongs properly
TO the domain of State politics. Ger
tain advocates and several Of the oppo
nents of prohibition are each seeking to
drag the issue into Nation ii politics,
and thus tending to exclude from popu
lar consideration questions which press
for National decision. IL there be any
decisions which belong solely to the
police power of the State, il is the CON
troll of the liquor traffic, and wise men
will not neglect National issue IN the
year of a national contest. The judi
cious friends Of protectivs tariff, which

will not divert their votes to the ques-
ton of prohibition. which is not prac-
tical issue In National campaign.
