Morton, Burleigh and Mlliken. At 2.3O
O'Clock 7. NJ. the strains of martial music
were heard as the Ware Cornet Band

Green's Hill. They here formed circle
and while playing the inspiring and
patriotic str Tins of "The Star Spangled
Banner" The beautiful campaign flag
of the republicans was unfurled to the
breeze amid hearty cheering from the
people. After several selections from
the Band, c. IL. Jones chairman of the
town committee nominated S. l.. Tobey
to preside at the meeting, The first
speaker introduced was our highly re-
spected townsmen II ii. Stickney, who
eulogized the old flag as true patriot

We publish elsewhere Hon. Edwin c.
Burleigh's letter accepting the Republican
nomination for Governor Maine. Mr.
Burleigh recognized the fact that the
State campaign is overshadowed by Ma
tional issue in presidential year, and
very properly and pertinently calls atten-
ton to the disastrous effect, the proposed
Democratic tariff measures would have
upon the interest of the State of Maine.
The letter is one that commands itself to
the people of Maine, and shows that the
Republican candidate for Governor has
an appreciation of the vast and varied
interests of our State, acquired in the
school of experience in business and
state affairs.

We Will Do II

There is abundant evidence that our
Democratic friends are in the field to
make the very best fight they can for a
very bad cause.
They have some discouragements. The
people do not enthuse over their issues.
They have hard fight to sustain them
selves for free-trade or what is worse
revenue tariff. free wool, the fishery
giyc-away scheme, and all this sort of
thing, but the Democratic party has a
wonderful voting capacity. They get
their men to the polls and this is what
tells and what we must count upon with
certainty.
In our own county they really appear
to have hope of carrying the county tick
ct Notwithstanding the detection of farm
ers and wool-growers from their ranks.
They have nominated popular lumber
man for senator, who will put in his
time and money; their ticket for other
officers is a respectable one and the party
organization is in good fighting condition.
1t is AN enemy, so far as the personal
make up is concerned worthy of our
steel.
The Republican county ticket Is an cX-
cellent one. our candidate for senator
has had the experience of two legislatures
in the House of Representatives, Is a
ready and able debatcr, knows the varied
interests of Somerset county thoroughly
and can look after our affairs in the Sen
ate vastly better than man Of no lcgis-
latve experience The candidates for
county officers are men of solid worth,
of experience in county business and in
whose hands the affairs of the county will
be safe. There is every reason why eY-
cry Republican in Somerset should sup
port the Republican ticket cordially and
earnestly.
Hon. Edwin c. Burleigh, our nominee
for Governor, is a man of fine business
qualifications. thorough knowledge oil
state affairs, of high standing in society
firm believer in prohibition, a true
temperance man in theory and practice
and life long Republican who will hon
or the high position to which he is named
Such are our candidates, worthy anC
well qualified, but the chief virtue of on
campaign is the righteousness of TIN
cause, founded upon the true prin ciples
Americanism and Republcanism.
Let Republicans of Somerset rally Il
their candidates as representatives o
these principles and victory will be assur
ed in our county and we shall have assist
ed in the greater victory, the prospect 70
which is so bright, in November. w
will do it.
