A Strong Ticket.

The Republican primaries this week
have been characterized by entire har-
mony, and have resulted in placing in
nomination municipal ticket that will
commend itself in every way to the voters
of Augusta. Our candidate for mayor
needs no introduction to our citizens. A
gentleman Of broad culture, rugged in
tegrity, and marked ability he will come
to the important position to which he has
been called by the unanimous voice OF
his party admirably equipped for the
faithful and intelligent discharge of its
| responsibilities.
The gentlemen who have been put in
| nomination for the various ward Offices,
| are all we'll known citizens, who may be
depended upon to look closely after the
best interests of Augusta. The ticket is
in all respects strong one made up Of
gentlemen whose names will inspire the
confidence OF their fellow citizens, and
under whose direction our municipal
affairs will be wisely and well admin
istered.
Every Republican in Augusta should
see to it that his vote is registered upon
election day. The municipal elections this
spring point the way to the state and
national elections Of the coming fall.
They should be. and we believe will be,
premonitions of the gathering storm of
popular Indignation that will sweep the
corrupt and incompetent Democracy from
power, and sound the final death knell of
| party that has signally demonstrated it's
utter incapacity to rule. No Republican
can afford 70 stay away from the polls at
| the municipal State or national elections
of 1896. For four long years the people
OF the country have groaned beneath the
| burdens imposed by Democratic i'm
becility, and from every section of this
broad land, cry is going up, for return
again TO the happy days of Republican
prosperity. The stampede from the
Democratic party goes merrily on-and
even Kentucky, and Maryland join the
triumphant Republican march.
Let every citizen who has at heart the
best interests of his home and country.
neglect no opportunity to register his re-
buke to the party whose incompetent and
un American administration of public
affairs has brought hardship to both.
| Every municipal election the present
year will have more than a local signif-
canoe, and for that reason, if for no
other, every Republican owes it to HIM
self and his party, to 60 to the polls and
register his vote.

Presidential Electors Must all be
Chosen in State Convention.
HEADQUARTERS
REPUBLICAN STATE COMMITTEE.
AUGUSTA, MAINE, JAN. %, 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 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 nomina-
ton by Convention representing no less a
constituency than the whole state. Hence. all
the candidates of q party for Presidential cleo
tors must be nominated in State Convention,
and have therefore included in the call six
electors.

THE uHspEAKAB1E TURK.
Even the Angel OF Mercy Barred from the
suitnn's Domain.

Chicago Inter-ocean: 'The un-
speakable Turk" has proved himself to
be the unthlnkable as well. Not even
the angel Of mercy is allowed to enter
his kingdom and minister TO the nee
essItles OF the sufferers. The Red Cross
Association Is barred out by formal
decree. made known at Washington.
through the Turkish minister. or rath.
or through the PRONUNCIATION by him OF
the decree Of the sultan.
From the very first Miss Barton has
frankly stated that sha would under
fake the proposed mission OF relief II

ed 10 be sure OF permission. She thought
she would be allowed to carry out the
plaa of alienation because Turkey was
one OF the first nations 90 apply TO the
Red Cross Association for membership
in the International league. At that
time Il was arranged that In Turkey
the badge worn should be the red crcs-
cent Instead OF the cross, and the gov
eminent Mt Constantlnople understood
perfectly well that the association Is
purely phIlanthropic, and not Mt all Civ

ticuhr religion.
There Is really only one explanation,
ana tUdI u 'lIltI lllt government iOGo
not want the sufterings OF the Arren-
ian allevtated. 1t is a part of the fixed
policy of the authorities that the Chris
tim subjects of the sultan should be
punished by hunger, nakedness, and all
the horrors OF destitution in winter.
That is the great Genital and appalling
fact In the case. 1t Is very well known
at ConstantItnople that Miss Barton
and her Red CroSsers would 30 to the
relief OF q Turk as readily as an Ar
nentan. She hns said from the first
that she should minister to the suffer
ing and needs OF the Moslem faith pre-
cisely the same as 10 a suffering and
needy Christian, but Il is also very well
known there that she would not ind
any such Turks, or hardly any, that
the outrages have been perpetrated BY,
not upon, the Turks, and that practice
ally her work would all be among Ar
mcnlans
What next? Must the civilized world
sit calmly by and see this unspeakable
cruelty without lifting finger in re-
lief? Nothing mas occurred 70 stir the

The story OF the latest uprising In
Samoa Is like an act from a comedy.
The business men. finding business
dull. wanted a diversion, so they start
ed a little rebellion against the gov
eminent. There was no bloodshed. but
President Schmidt was called upon TO
resign. because he was drawing too
much salary considering the amount Of
work he did.
He was presented with paper for
his signature calling together the
councillors to receive his own reslgna-
tlon. But President Schmidt. being
shrewd man, noticed a confusion OF
dates In the cali and wrote the petit
TONERS asking them which should be
the right date. Meanwhile. and pend
fng reply to his note. he took hoii-
day." presumably to delay matters and
give the business men an opportunity
to consider the possible consequences
OF their rashness,
Further than this the steamship ad-
vices from Samoa are silent. In order
to learn what the subsequent events
were we must await the arrival Of the
next steamer at San Francisco. An
anxious public will be eager to learn
whether or not, under the influence of
a possible revival OF business the sa-
moan citizens have reconsldered their
Judgment regarding the salary of the
President. which is 5000 per year.
1t may turn out that the work OF sup
pressing the little rebellion has furnish
cd the executive with a sufficient
amount OF labor to make him worth his
salary. This In itself may serve to re-
concile the samoans to the duty OF sup
porting a President.
