said:
Maine has today declared in no un-
certain terms against Reputation and
dishonesty as represented by free silver
| and fifty-cent dollar We all knew
that the Pine Tree state couldibe de-
pended upon in the emergency to set the
entire country good example. but the
extent to which her citizens have ex-
pressed their approval of sound money
and the Republican policy has even
exceeded our expectations. I think the
result Of today's ballot is most signifl-
can't The campaign has has been a
short one, but the people of Maine have
been greatly interested and that the ma
jority of our citizens have honored the
Republican ticket simply indicates that
in November the Democratic policy of
injustice and imitation will receive
bolw from which it will never recover"
