eight Skowhegan voters personally (aud

a line that our opponents left enough of
us for seed. Let Us be thankful for our
present position on the temperance ques-
ton and that we have learned Just how
many real Temperance voters there are in
this old temperance town of SkoWhcgan.
And let us rejoice in the hope that We
shall double our vote in 1892, and con-
tinuc to double till the other fell Iws at

The sun of Nov. 10 says it IS possible
that two Of the Democratic candidates
for Pre- idential electoas from this State
are elected This result, if it has really
been accomplished, was brought about by
the fact that the electoral ticket given
out by the Labor party included the
names Of 81 Republican electors with the
two Labor electors-at-large at the head Of
the ticket. two of the Republican electors
being necessarily omitted. 1t is thought
possible that the number of Labor votes
thus cast were sufficient to defeat the
two Republican electors omitted from the
Labor ticket. thus electing the Democrat
c electors at large. Such a division Of
the electoral vote in this State Is not re-
