Republican this year. 1t is a pretty diff
cult thing to find drummer" this year

rather shrewd men as class, who know
pretty we'll which side their bread is but

the Mills bill becomes law, and Free
Trade or anything resembling it is forced
upon the country. we should in a short
time be flooded with representatives of
English houses, and their occupation would
soon be gone. The same feeling prevails
also to a great extent among the whole

1t may be well to call attention to the
vote that has been cast at the September
election in Maine for the past eighteen
wears (since 1870 in order that proper
comparison may be made with the vote to
be thrown in the State election today.
The figures are given in round numbers.
In 1870 the republican plurality was 1900.
In 1871 the Republican plurality was
10000. In 1872. (the Grant and Greeley
year, the Republican plurality was TO-
600. In 1873 the Republican plurality was
1900. In 1874 the Republican plurality
was 5000. In 1875 the Republican plur-
atty was 1000. In 1876 the Republican
plurality was 5000. In 1877 the Repub-
lican plurality was II 900. In 1873 the COM
bined Democratic and Greenback vote was
1900 larger than the Republican vote.
In 1879 the Democratic and Greenback
vote was 1000 larger than the Republican
vote. In 1880 the Democratic and Green
back fusion vote was 400 larger than the
Republican vote. This was the last year
in which an annual election was held. In
1882 the Republican plurality was 5000.
In 1884, the Republican plurality was
IS. 900. 1t should be remembered that
this was the Presidential contest in which
our own citizen was the standard bearer
of the Republican party. The Democratic
party virtually abandoned the contest and
did not throw their usual vote and the
majority given to Mr.. Blaine. for that
was what it practically was, has always
been regarded as a personal tribute to
him and a phenomenal vote for the
party. In 1886 the Republican plurality
was l3 600. 1t thus appears that the av-
erage Republican plurality In Maine for
the past eighteen years, including our
phenomenal majority of 1884, is 1900.

The Prospects and the Duties OF To
Day

From every county in the state come the
most cheering advices as to Republican
prospects. Large numbers of Democrats
have abandoned Putnam and Cleveland,
and to-day will vote for Burlegh and the
other Republican candidates, aud in No
vember will give an earnest support to
voted the Third Party ticket two years
ago, are now inclined to vote with the Re
publicans, seeing that the supporters of
Fisk and Brooks have put a Free Trade
plank into their national platform. Let
the Republicans to-day do their whole
duty, get every supporter of Protection to
the polls, and the Geographic returns of
this evening will announce to the Nation a
splendid Republican victory in Maine.
We again ask Republicans in the various
towns to be on their guard against all
kinds of false charges, lying rumors, and
cheating devices, to defeat Republican
candidates. Watch carefully the unscru-
pulous agents of the enemy, whatever
may be the garb he wears or the pretence
he urges. The Republicans of the kenne-
bee Valley from Bath to Bingham are
specially called on TO roll up very large
majority for Protection, on which their
cities and towns are basing such strong
hopes of future prosperity,

A STRIKING APPEAL TO TEMPER
ANCE MEN AND WOMEN.
A Woman's View of the Issue.-A Let
ter to Mrs. ]. Ellen Foster From Maria
c. Treadwell.

My DEAR Mrs. FOSTER - In my two
as far as Naples and north to Russia, Sweden
and Norway kept house in several countries
and lived in measure with the people where
learned much regarding the condition (by
contrast, too, of the poor down trodden peo-
pie of Europe.
The condition of the poor there made my
heart sick all the time. If the Mills bill
should become law it would be the first
great step since the rebellion to bring desola-
ton to our doors instead of at the doors of
those who would engender the strife.
And when our country introduces Free
Trade, women, too, must come down on a
level with the women of Europe, and their
state there is truly deplorable.
My heart of hearts is fired, and, being a
woman who has comparatively little power
with other women, who cannot vote, would
do the next best thing if l knew what that
could be.
l have always been and am still a Prohi-
bitionst, but as know that prohibition can
not win as our people are now pushing it,
could not now forsake my country in this
hour of peril no more than / did when the
Democratic government had the reins at the
firing of Sumter. Have we Lincoln to lead
us through the ordeal that coufronts us now !?
| have know IN how you as a woman have con-
fronted many battles for the right and
still know that you are as earnest for
prohibition as any of our women, but
you have the discernment to decide that
the present movement is not beginning at
the commencement and yon probably realize
that there are those who feel that they can
not have their names brought forward as pc
litical candidates in any other way, and for
this reason they are willing to sacrifice the
whole ground of our cause. l would cry
ooh consistency, thou art jewel"
1t seems to me that England is now looking
to the result of our coming election, hoping
that it will give them our free trade market
for their imitation and it also seems to me
that our President and others are emissaries
of foreign power to bring this about.
cannot speak publicly or | think should
be tempted to go on the stump, so great is my
enthusiasm. But privately will tell the truth
and win all the votes for protection to my
country that l can. If you have any other
suggestions to make don't fail me. l am
with you to prison or to death"
My husband has gone to his home above
and my boy is too young to vote, but he is
getting a true, Christian, temperance and
protection teaching.
Don't forget that love prohibition, but
know that it must come through pub
lie sentiment and action in the States.

The Base Calumnies OF New York
Newspaper on the Temperance Peo-
pie of Maine.

Our attention has been called to low
and wicked assault of the New York
sVoice'' on the Temperance citizens OF
this State. Ostensibly this attack is made
on the Republican party, but it is really
aimed at ntne-tenths of the Temperance
men of Maine. 1t is VIGOROUSLY true, and
no one but an ignoramous or knave will
deny il. that the chief portion of the Tenn
perance citizens of the State belong to
the Republican party, and that on them
depend the principal efforts for the main
tenance and enforcement of Temperance
legislation. 1t does not astonish u that
the Voice is the vehicle of low calumny
and abuse of the Temperance Republicans
of Maine. Protesting to be an organ of
Third Party Prohibitionists, it gives I'M
mistakable evidence Of being the tool of
the Democratic party and the liquor deal
ers Of New York. The extraordinary
means to which it has resorted to obtain
money from the public to expand its cir
culation. shows its utter want of Christian
delieacy and moral principle. 1t was deep
| in the conspiracy TO elect Grover Cleye-
| land 10 1884. 1t is to the utmost of its in
nuence aiding the alliance Of the liquor
dealers with the Democratic party in New
York for the reelection of Hill to the
Governorship Of that State, that he may
again veto the restrictive legislation
against the saloons which the best citizens
Of the Empire State are demanding. Ii Is
the vehicle of continual calumny against
Republicans, proving it not only to be an
organ Of the Free Trade Democracy, but ut
terly unworthy the support of honest men
1t is much more respectable and manly
to publish a Democratic sheet openly and
without false pretences, and none but sell
fish conspirators will seek to mask theil
malignant designs under false covering
| The ''Voice" and all who act as that paper
does, bring discredit on the cause OF
Prohibition In the States where it does
not exist. 1t is powerless TO do mucf
mischief in Maine, for the people OF
this State have tested the utter worthless
ness of just such tactics as the ''Noice'
and those of its kind advocate. No re
spectacle newspaper would admit to its
columns such an outpourng of falsehoods
misrepresentation, and vulgar innuendoe'
and implications against tens of thousands
of the best citizens Of this State as ap
pear in the first column of the "Voice'
of Sept. 6. The conduct of that reckless
sheet seems to be copied by small fac
ton in the West, as the following shows
The THIRD PARTY As STALKING HORSE
To The Editor Of The Tribune:
Sir; Let me give The Tribune pointer,
| see some strong indications that the Demo.
cratic party in this state is going to make q
"still hunt during this campaign, using the
Prohibition or Third party for a stalking
horse. The Devil and the whiskey ring are
at the bottom of both these parties and they
can't be watched too closely. b. r. }.

The Democrats will not like Mr.. Blaine S
article in the American Magazine which
we publish on our outside page to-day.
1t is very clear and able grouping and
condensation of the facts and arguments
in favor of American Protection, and a
complete REPUTATION of the errors of Cleve-
land and other advocates of Free Trade.
The author never uses blank cartridges,
and this fact is so well known to his OPP
ponents that they never fail to wriggle
and writhe even before the shotEs driven
home to its mark. They think it well to
have wholesome fear in advance.

To Those Inclined Toward the Third
PARTY

There is little doubt that a majority of
Party ticket is made up of those who wish
to act honestly. But all such are bound
to use their reasoning powers. 1t is plain
enough that in refusing to cast Republi-
can ballots they assist the great whisky
party of the Nation, and throw their in
lluence against the only party which has
this country. But circumstantial evidence
is very strong that most of the Third Party
leaders are in secret alliance with the
Democrats. 1t has always proved prac-
tically impossible to maintain more than
two great parties in this country. The
Third Party has always been in effect the
ally of one or the other of the two great
parties. This grows out of causes and
tendencies which the members of the Third
Party cannot prevent. All sincere voters
in Maine inclined to favor the Third Party

in that speech he made use of language

letter explaining his political position
yours of the Goth inst, inclosing letter
from d. I. Phelps, asking if | was out for
Harrison and Morton, duly received. In re-
ply, would state that am unqualifedly in
favor of their election, and shall use all of
my influence to that end. | am pronounced
Ia favor of American industries and protec-
ton to American labor. l do not desire to
see the laboring classes of this country
brought down to the level of pauper labor of
Europe, which would certainly be the result
of Free Trade In this country. While in our
trade our men make good wages, l am only
too glad to be able to pay them the same,
and while the Mills bill would not affect our
business materially, it would be impossible
for us to compete with Europe unless wages
were brought down to the standard paid
there. tits labor question pure and sim
pie. 1t is bill to reduce wages to the Eng
fish standard, or to allow English manufac-
turers to undersell Americans in the Ameri-
