One Grain OF Comfort.

Among her good things said by ex-
Speaker Reed in an address delivered
Thursday, at augusta, Me., were these !:
There il no chance for peace and quiet
except through the advent Of the Repub-
lican party in the next House. Now you
and have little idea what Sl, ,OO0,00 really
is, but | will try and show the loss we
have suffered from Democratic misrule in
another way. In the Stanford mills there
are 100 men. There were sll7,0J0 less
paid there in wages last year than the
year before or every man and woman lost
sl6s. Multiply that by l0,000 and you
would wipe out value equal to that Of
Maine. Here's another example: on the
Pennsylvania lines east of Pittsburg the
earnings in the last six months were
S1,000,000 less than the year before and
the running expenses were cut down
s5,eg0O00. That means 80 much less for
locomotives, ties, railroad hands, and
means discharged mechanics deprived of
work. Multiply that by 200and you have
another State of Maine gone. There is
no language | can use that can show this
loss caused by Democratic rule. There is
one grain of comfort. Although il is true
we'haye lost happiness, comfort and the
advance OF civilization has been retarded,
we will have better Democrats. Before
they were organized with jealousy of us.
They jibed, jeered and were unkind.
That's all going to be changed. They
have tried their hands for a year and
half. Whenever in the next 30 years of
our rule-ifs coming-we fall short they
will not jeer but speak sympathetically
and say our errors are not equal TO their
errors. think this campaign will settle
the question OF protection as our policy
and this country settle DOWN to reason

Divorces are not Good.

GUTHRIE, q. T., Sept. s.-A decision Of
the Supreme Court ofthe Territory, hand
ed down al noon today. nullified all di-
voroes granted by Probate Judges in
Oklahoma since March. 1888.
There have been fully 4o0 divorces so

of the persons 50 divorced have married
since, they are guilty of bigamy.
The people affected are in every State
of the Union. having come here To take
advantage of the liberal divorce laws OF
tho Territory, which allows divorces for
any Of - causes after residence of 80
days.
The decision will cause a sensation all

"HAvE you heard the news from
Maine? Good news and truen' This
refrain of the old campaign song OF
1910 is as appropriate and applicable
now as then. The incomplete returns
of the election in that State, held on
Monday last, show the tremendous ma
jority of 5000 for Cleaves, the Repub-
lican candidate for Governor, being the
largest majority ever given in the
State. The Republicans have carried
every county in the State and have
elected l27 of the Isl members of the

the Republican Congressman are r,-

ties. Well done, Maine.

THE election i'm Vermont, last week,
tells the tale OF dissatisfaction with the
policy of the Democratic party. The
Republican majority rolled up was not
unexpected and points the way to the
certain overthrow of the discOrdant
and wrangling party now controlling
the government.
Vermont is the first state to speak
and there is no uncertainty i'm her
tones. She is reliable Republican
state, bdt when in the of year of 1894
she increases her majority by 700 over
the party majority OF the Presidential
year of 1892 it means something wor-
thy of note. The returns indicate a
larger majority than was ever before
cast in the State. a $1,000 majority is
a sumner from The Green Mountain

THE Republican conferees from this
Congressional district met at Altoona,
on Thursday evening last, and unani-
mously nominated Hon. J. ID. Hicks.
The course of Mr.. Hicks during the
past session of Congress has met the
expectations OF the Republicans of this
district, and he was virtually conceded
a denomination, Bedford county alone
having a candidate at her primary
election against him.
The reelection of Mr.. Hicks is a
foregone conclusion. The only room
for speculation is as TO the size of his
majority, which, under existing condi-
tions. will be whopper.
