THE satisfaction generally felt in the
efficiency of the state officers of the
term preceding is fully evinced by the
fact of the denomination of the entire
old ticket by the Republican conven-
ton. No arguments of consequence
have been made by either party. and
the opposition rely solely upon their
party affiliations for alceees IN their
endeayor to elect Democratic officers.
This being so evidently the fact 1T be.
hooves Republicans TO be watchful
and see to it that they retain the con-
troll of the government now in their
hands, and not to let it slip through
apathy at the election. At this very
time when there is 2 general feeling
that all is going well should voters oe
most careful not to let themselves
forget their duty so far as to remain
at home on election day.
Our state has as we think wisely es.
tablished biennial ELECTIONS for the ole
annual elections. thus relieving tht
electors from the burden of an cleo
tion each wear. Consequently 1t be
comes more emphatically the duty Of
the intelligent voter TO be present thii

The religious prejudice which Mr..
Rosenberger's criers are endeavoring
to excite against NJ. Murphy, is de.
basing to every principle of manhood
or free government, and cannot infu.
ence any thoughtful voter. The age
of religious inquisition is past. Mr..
Rosenberger we understand is Bap-
fist. We hope he is no worse for his
belief--certainly his private religious
views are not Haunted for political
effect by those who do not support
him. Mr.. Murphy's qualifications can
not be disputed. Prof. Sawyer who
conducted the State Institute at Els
worth few weeks ago, regarded him
as the leading mind of the institute. y
He is vouched for by Prof. j. L. Nc.
Leary, and by all who are acquainted
with him. Let qualification, and not
religion, be the test. Republicans,
stand by your candidate.

ell of wheat paid for days work in

And yet this is the day of the Irvine

mer very much, but it has enabled

WE wish to say final word to our
Republican readers with reference to
choice of Assemblyman. We are in
formed that Mr.. Putnam, when Re-
publicans object to voting for him
because we have a United States SEN
ator to elect, privately asserts that he
is not running as Democrat, and as
sures them that he would be quite
likely to vote for a Republican. Some
of his supporters in proof of his non
partisan status point to the fact that he
is quietly favoring Mr.. Rosenberger' S
election as School Superintendent.
Now we are not charging Mr.. Putnam
with any extreme fealty to the Demo
cratic party, but we do say that his
interest points too plainly toward fu.
ture affiliation with it.. He has no part
or lot with the Republican party. To
| ward it he has nothing but bitterness
He attends all Democratic conventions
and is head and front of the Cleveland
and Hendricks club in this place. II
| he were to be elected he would mos
| surely vote for the Democratic noml
nee for Senator, attend the Democratic
legislative eaucuses and vote for Dem

state and compared them with the
present rates for the same classes of
labor in England, and find that the ad-
vantage to the Massachusetts laborer
is seventy seven per cent. This show
