Maine Is Still Loyal.
PROTECTION AND SOUND MON
EY TRIUMPHANT.
Republican Gain 40, 900
The Republican State Ticket Elected BY
$1,000 Majorlty-Silver heresy
Repudiated.

Following the emphatic victory for
protection and sound money In Yer
mont, the victory Of the Republican
party in Maine in Mondays election.
when the lines were definitely drawn
on national issues, should leave no
doubt in the conservative mind as to
the result Of the presidential election.
Bv an increased vote of 10000 over
1892, every republican candidate was
elected with majorities ranging from
5000 to $1,000 majority. The most
vigorous political fight in the history
of the State was made by both parties.
Sewall, the democratic nominee for the
vice presidency, managed his party's
campaign, and the state was flooded
with speakers supporting the Chicago
platform. 1t was fair test of the
issues involved, and the result of the
that campaign. is suggestive of the, re-
suit Of the contest on Nov. 3rd.
congressman Reed, Dingley, and
Boutelle were returned to congress ly
increased majorities.
Bryan's cause IL weakening From
every section come reports of the in
creasing strength ot the sound money
forces. His appeals have bean framed
to attract the passions Of the discon-
tented masses. In studied language.
he excites their passions to open dem
onstration. BY appealing to the meaner
passions Of humanity, he would excite
the unfortunate man against his pros.
porous brother. History affords MANY
men like Bryan. His rare talents have
alone made him dAngerous-his spirit,
Influenced by selfishness or ignorance!is
revolutionary, destructive and degen-
crate. His eloquence will only meet
with temporary enthusiasm; the sober
second thought will not encourage un-
soundness. It is not surprising that
thousands Of American citizens should
desire to a:see man, who, wrapping it in
the robe of dlsreputable populis,n.
practically stole the democratic party.
Nor Is 1t surprising that the republican
party, true to its honorable traditions,
ahould inaugurate an enthusia astic war
lare against this disastrous influence to
American industries and American
homes. The people have been plunged
from promoutory of prosperity int" Il
sea of distress by unwise statesmnn-
snip. They will again restore to powe,
the party OF home protection and hone
prosperity. They will not accept
theories Of government denied by the
constitution, and condemned by the
learned Of all nations. The sanctity OF
OF tha voters booth, will expel party
prejudice and revolutionary sentiment
ana ballot Influenced Gy cOnserva
i've reason and patriotism will endorse
we voice of Maine for good govern
nient.
