MCKINLEY CONGRATULATED.
Chairman Manley Addresses a Tele-
gram of CongratuIation to Him.

gram of Congratulation to Him.
Canton, O., Sept. 15.-Major McKin-
ley received the following telegram
from Augusta, Me:
1 offer you much hearty cOngratula-
ton. This is your triumph. The Re
publican party has achieved today the
most sweeping and magnificent victory
every accorded any party in the history
OF Maine We have carried every county
IN the state, elected every senator and
al least 140 out of 155 members of the
house of representatives secured every
county official, given each member Of
your magnificent delegation in the ma
tiOnal house of representatives the
our candidate for governor by the
greatest majority ever given candi-
date for that high office, indOrSed the
St. Louis platform and declared for Nc
Kinley and Hobart by so, 900. The Re
publican vote exceeds by several thous-
and the largest Republican vote here
tOfOre given, and the vote for the Dem
Ocratic candidate for governor is the
smallest ever cast, with one exception,
the vote of 1894, which was 5000 less.
We have kept pace with Vermont and
proven to the country that the Demo-
cratic platform adopted at Chicago will
not prevail when met by argument and
reason. We have been aided in this
great contest by many Democrats who
placed country above party and who
believe that you cannot divide the peO-
pie into parties upon a question of
simply morals and common honesty.
They share our victory with US. What
more could Maine have done for the
cause of good government, honest
money and protection?

FREE SILVER AND COMMUNISM.
Congressman Mi1liken filings an Un-
pleasant Epithet at the Free
Silverites.

Belfast, Me, Sept. 15.-Congressman
NIilliken makes this comment on the
election:
Names $4,000 Republican majority
signifies that American citizens are
honest and do not believe in settling at
so cents on the dollar; that they be-
lieve in fostering American industries
and employing American labor at fair
wages and they believe also that we
have a national government which has
the right to enforce its laws.
Believing myself that the citizens of
other states are as honest and as patri-
Otic as we are. I am satisfied that a
majority of them will record their YER
diet against free trade and free silver
and communism as we have DONE

far as the Republic correspondent can hear up to this time.
 On the contrary, it is known to your correspondent that such men as Senators Hill, Gray, German ard Smith have decided to support the ticket nominated at Chicago, no matter who may be nominated or the character of the platform. ;"
 It would be well for the Demo- cratic party if the free silver men would follow the example set them by their sound money opponents. It becomes more apparent every day that the free silver wing of the par ty will have control of the conven- tion at Chicago. If the free silver forces, in their triumph, adopt a eoneiliatory and conservative course, the Democratic party may yet come out victorious in the ap- preaching National cam paign. But if they shall use their victory at that convention to prescribe and insult Democrats Of lifelong standing, but who entertain views on the financial question at variance with the views of the majority, then bitter feel ing will be engendered that will lead to the defeat of the National ticket in November.
 Now is a time for great conserva- tism in our party councils and the free silver leaders will soon have an opportunity to demonstrate their loyalty and capacity for leadership in the great Democratic party. It seems to be in their power at present to either make or break the party. Their public course will therefore be watched with interest, not to say anxiety.
