THE RACES.
New Orleans Results.

New Orleans, Jan. 20.-A good crowd attended the races at the fair grounds, despite the prospect of poor races over a deep and sticky track and a misty rain. This was the fifteth day, and a handi- cap at mile was given for the occasion, bringing out some good ones in this kind of going. At the eighth pole Robert Lat Ia came up fast and seemed to have the favorite beaten, but Charlie Thorpe gath cred his mount together and won the purse by half a length, simply through his superior riding. Leonard R., the fa- vo11te, and an outsider, Hippogriff, ran dead heat in the third race. Hippogriff led to the sixteenth pole, where the fa- Vorite drew alongside, and they ran to- gether under the wire Bloomer won as she pleased, and Rouble had an easy time of the second. Miss Rowett was all out at the finish, but staggered under the length before Tuscarora and Van Brunt. who were on nearly even terms. Weather cloudy; track very heavy Sum maries

Profit SHARING.

Profit sharing has had a fair trial in

have been uniformly cncoura ging
Capital represents brains as well as
money, ana the theory that men work
better when their own Intelligence is
recognized by share in the proceeds

Ohio Did Not Meet This Issue.

Cincinnati Commercial Gazctte)
We VAIN the Republican party that
success is not assured in the coming
Presidential campaign simply because
the people arose in their might in 1894
and repudiated the party that wiped
from our statute books the Mckinley
law.
A large number Of Republicans stand
aShast at the apostacy Of the so-called
Rel ublican silver senator's first. in
refusing relief to the manufacturing
interests of the country, and second, at
the narrow policy which causes them
to repudiate their obligations as Re
oublicans to afford protection TO the
industries that are being threatened
merely because local silver interests
are not az once considered.
The people. however. do not forget
that the head of the rebellion against
the great Republican policy of protec-
ton is also chairman of the Republican
National committee, and associated
with him are senators equally prom-
nent in Republican councils.
The present great depression in our
manufacturing industries is because
nave been withdrawn. and these silver
senator's refuse to allow protective
measures To become a law. either for
revenue or for announcement to our
home manufactures. unless the silver
heresy of free coinage is included in
the legislation.
The real issue, therefore, of the Re
publican party is to purge itself of its
so-callcd friends. The great manufac-
turing states of New York. Pernsyl-
vania, New Jersey. Connecticut and
Ohio, not only because of lack of pro
lection to their industries. but because
Of the threat that protection can only
come through the recognition Of free
-oinage-Which they know means in
eNitable Bankruptcy that
the Republican party shall not hesitate
to repudiate the principles of the silver
senators and put the party squareiy
before the people on a platform un-
aquivocai and unmistakabc
The great mass of the people are
sound on the question of money and
protection. Let all the candidates
come out squarely and fairly, giving
the people exact information as to
their positions. The success of the Re
publican party is assured in 1896 on a
sound money and protection platform.

Up to the present time there appear
TO be only two men in this country who
believe the Democratic party can elect
its presidential candidate this fal!'
Moreover each of those men is UNI
confident that the party can
not do this unless it selects him for
standard bearer. These men are Grover
Cleveland and Benjamin Ryan Till

fact that no other person among the

Presidential Electors Must all be
Chosen in State Convention.
HEADQUARTERS
REPUBLICAN STATE COMMITTEE, !
AUGUSTA, MAINE. JAN. 2s, 1896. }

To the Republicans of Maine:-Prior to 1892
two Presidential electors at large, correspond
ing to the two United states senators, were
nominated in State convention, and the re-
manning electors, corresponding to the mem
bers of the United States House of Represen-
tatives were nominated by the several con-
gressional district conventions.
The passage of the Australian Ballot law en-
tirely changed the procedure. Under the law.
all Conventions are q portion of our election
system, and this ballot act requires that cam
didates to be voted for by the Voters through
out the whole state must be placed in nomtna-
ton by Convention representing no less
constituency than the whole state. Hence, all
the candidates of party for Presidential cleo
tors must be nominated in State Convention,
and have therefore included in the call six
electors.
