AUGUSTA. Me. Sept 10.
Hon. Henry n. Cicdrrs. Portland Ne:
The Republican party came in power In Maine
In 1886 by giving Hannibal Hamlin 23.O0O ma
jority Twice in the history Of the
party since that day it has given its
candidate majority exceeding 10000 In
1865 it gave Samuel Cony "3,7OO majority
over his Democratic competitor. and In 1900
II gave Gen. Chamberlain a majority Of - 900
over his Democratic opponent. To-day Il has
given YOU majority exceeding $1,000 over
Mr.. johnson, your Democratic opponent being
the largest majority ever given.
I'VE have carried every county in the state
and will have at least 12s OF the l5l members Of
the House OF Representatives. which insures the
reelection Of the Hon. William p. Frye to the
United states Senate, he having no competitor.
We have elected the Hon. Thomas Il. Reed,
the Hon. Nelson Dingley. the Hon. Seth l.. Mil
liken and the Hon. G. A. Boutello to Congress
by majoritics ranging from 5000 to $500. The
total vote will reach 10000. Your vote will
exceed $1,000.
The people Of Maine have thus. In most en-
phatic manner. eutered their protest against the
deadly blight OF policy that would destroy the
industrial system built up in this country by
the policy OF protection.
