Be not deceived. If these wicked

such ghoulish and barbarous politi.

The Count.

We have reliable information
from the most unquestionable
sources that a systematic effort is
to be made to miscount the Prohl.
bition vote and appropriate it to
the support of other candidates.
We cannot go into details in this
matter, nor can we too urgently
press upon the attention of Prohi-
bitionists to see to it that our rights
are not violated. Insist everywhere
upon representatives of our party
being present to watch the count
and see to it that the State and

ly notified of the result.

Bribery.

Money in vast quantities is to be

in the so-called doubtful States,
and every dishonest voter willing

conviction of any man for either
buying or selling his vote.

En Conclusion.

1t is impossible for US to anticl'
pate all the efforts that will be made
at the last hour to deceive and de-
fraud. We feel, however, that we
can trust the intelligence, integrl'
ty and courage of the rank and Tile
of the Prohibition party. 1t is our
business, our aim and our purpose
to roll up the largest possible vote
for our candidates.
With confidence in the righteous
ness of our cause and a firm faith
that it will ultimately triumph, let
US march b1avely to the ballot box
on November 6, and record our
united protest against the DONNA
ton OF the saloon in American pol
itics.
Yours truly,

REPUBLICAN RALLY

In ndrewAs Hall, Mt. Carmel, Last
 NighI-Addresses by Messrs. Judd and
 Niles.
 A rousing Republican rally was held last night in Mt. Carmel, at which speeches were made by E. M. Judd of Wallingford and At torney W. P. Niles of this city, who spoke with vigor on the issues of the campaign.
 MT. Judd opened the meeting, being intro- dueed by Chairman Burleigh, county com missioner, and spoke little over halt hour, holding the attention of the audience.
 Attorney Niles followed, speaking for a full hour in showing the benefits of 8 protective tariff for the last quarter of a century, giving also clear and concise definition of 'stax" as distinguished from "tarif, " showing that the former was 8 burden and the latter 8 price paid for the privileges of competition, which was loudly applauded. The wages re- csived in this country were compared with those paid in countries across the sea, the boundless resources of the United States em. igration, and the subject of raw materials and the disposition of Democrats to evade the issues were sloquently and ably discussed by the attorney. MT. Niles closed with an earn est and stirring appeal to his hearers to sup port the Republican nominees for president and vice president and the State ticket. A vote of thanks was given the speakers with a will

 Inconsistency of the ProhfbitIonists
 They Are Stabbing Their Best

 PENNINGTON, Me-, Sept. 4.-Hon. James G. Blaine addressed an audience of four thousand people here this afternoon, speaking principally upon the tariff. He enlarged up- on the benefits to be derived from 6 protec- tive tariff and especially dwelt of Franklin county. Alluding to prohibition he said: ''Maine for the last thirty years has been under prohibitory law. I think the State has derived great advantage from it. I think the State is far richer and better, that Franklin county is far richer and better. But we have a party now coming in and telling us that Maine had better not pay any atten- ton to prohibition until we can organize a national party and we can suspend temper ance in Maine practically till we convert Texas and Alabama.
 That is precisely what this national Prohi- bition party means, for those who talk frank ly ayow that they intend to defeat the Re- publican party and bring the Democratic party into power as a temperance movement. Naughter.) They propose taking the Demo- cratic party in Maine to promote temperance (Laugter.) And this Prohibition party out side of prohibition is entering into partner ship with the Democratic party to defeat the Republicans if that were possible in Maine, to elect that saintly embodiment of prohibi- tion and temperance, David B. Hill, gov ernor of New York, and all over the country to stab the Republican party in thd back and in the dark in order, they say, that the Dem- ocratic party shall be brought into power and then there will be reaction against the Democrats and by some political process of We'll, citizsns, the Republicans of Maine have worked many years in aid of temperancr re- form and will not turn back from the good cause.
