The idea of making Queen Victoria
a Colonel Of German Dragons has
struck a good many people as rather
odd; but it is said female officers were
quite common in the British army
about a hundred and fifty years ago.
At that time. it is said, persons who
had a pull on the Government were in
the habit of christening their daugh-
ters by masculine names. getting
them commissions in the army. and
drawing the pay for the service which
the girls did not perform.

About the Election.

1t ought to be the business of
every Republican voter to urge upon
his Republican neighbor the duty
Of going to the polls. In every off
year the Republican vote falls off
largely, for the reason that so many
think that the $4,000 Republican
majority will elect the candidates,
and that is all that is needed
Such, however, is not the fact.
Even $4,000 majority can be beaten
if the stay-at homes continue to in
crease their number. Don't forget
this.
The State is prosperous. Labor
is employed the farmer has had
good crops and fair prices the man
of business, while he has not made
large profits, has been steadily pros
porous and the iron industry is in
"A healty condition, with the promise
of continued activity during the win
ter.
Under these circumstances our
candidate, Mr.. Boyer, ought to have
10000 majority.
But this can only be secured by
individual effort. Committees, it is
true, are appointed. But commit
tees cannot do everything, and they
are not expected to do everything.
They need help, and it is the duty OF
every Republican voter to see that
they have it.
This can be done by urging your
neighbors to vote. That is most
that is needed-urge the Republi
cans to vote.
Any considerable reduction oflast
falls Republican majority will be re
garded by Democrats as victory
Deprive them of this satisfaction by
doing your duty rs good party
man, in getting out the vote.
Our candidate is worthy. He is
entitled to the vote of every Repub-
lican in the Commonwealth, and he
will get it if the Republicans can be
gotten to the polls.
The Middleburgh post. [volume] (Middleburgh, Snyder Co., Pa.) 1883-1916, 1889-10-31
Get out the Vote.

An off year is generally danger
Gus year to the majority party, and
more particularly so if the off year
follows Presidential election.
This fact ought not to be overlook
ed by the Republicans of Dauphin
county.
In 1884 the vote for Mr.. Blaine III
Dauphin county was 1884 for MIR.
Cleveland G,37S. In 1885, the year
following, the vote for Mr.. Quay for
State Treasurer, was 5,75S; for Mr..
Day 4,267. The Republican loss in
votes was little more than 3S per
cent, while the Democratic loss
was only 33 per cent.-a difference
in favor of the Democrats of 5 per
cent.
There is fear that this difference
will be even greater this year. The
Republicans having been out OF
power for four years, and just re
stored, are disappointed that the
Offices have not been distributed as
promptly as they had reason to ex-
pect. and some are disappointed be-
cause they were not recognized in
the distribution already made.
These things are calculated to in.
crease the number of stay-at-homes
this year over those of 1884
Let the Republicans be warned III
time. Let them see to it that every
republican vote possible is polled.
Don't worry about maiorities. Get
out the vote, and the maioritics will
take care of themselyes.-Hd
