Financial Plank--Republican Plat
form.

-
We give herewith the financial
plank of the platform adopted by the
National Convention at St Louis, to
which the free silverits are objecting.
It Is as sound as the currency which
1t favors, and our readers will have
no difficulty in understanding It, and
no honest republican can object to it:
THE Republican party is unreser-
vedly for sound money. 1t CD used
the enactment of the law providing
for the resumption of specie pay-
ments In 1879; since then every
dollar has been as good az gold.
We are unalterably opposed to
every measure calculated to debase
our currency or impair the credit of
our country. We are therefore op-
posed to the free coinage of silver ex-
cept by international agreement with
the leading commercial nations of
the world, which we pledge ourselves
to promote, and until such agree.
ment can be obtained, the existing
gold standard must be preserved.
All our silver and paper currency
must be maintained at parity with
gold, and we favor all measures de-
signed to maintain tnviolably the
obligations OF the United States and
all our money, whether coin or paper,
at the present standard Of the most
enlightned nations Of the earth"

Edw. Atkinson shows that scarce
~ twelve per cent Of the mortgages
held on Western farms are held by
Eastern capitalists. He has found
that farmers are about as often the
lenders az they are borrowers. This
does not agree with the ideas promul-
gated by the free silverites; but &c
much the worse for the ideas.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
County Fair.

Neil Burgess's phenomenal success,
'sThe New County Fair which is the
attraction at Portland theatre Friday,
Saturday and matinee, is said to be
better this year than ever. Under the
Immediate supervision of Mr.. Burgess
himself new scenery has been painted,
new effects prepared and almost an en-
tire new company engaged. The play
itself has been carefully revised and
strengthened wherever deemed essential.
There will be double quartette, which
has never appeared before in the play
and specialties of lively and interesting
nature introduced to keep the fun going
throughout. This season the play will be
under the direction of Messrs Roberts
and Brinkerhoff with Chas. A. Burt as
manager. M. Burt is an experienced
theatrical man and although young in
years, he has great energy and the dis
oriE,ination to perceive that the greatest
play can be made better and better each
year.
"The New County Fair" is ono of the
best American dramas shat has been
written. Everyone knows dear old Aunt
Abby. the irrepressible Taggs, the honest
Otis, the beautiful thoroughbred horse,
"Cold Molasses" and the wonderful race
scene. All these will be seen again this
year and the mechanical continuance that
shows the splendid animals stIaining
every nerve over three quarters of mile
of race course until "Cold Molasses"
wins by neck. Yet with all that this
great play contains, there are six special
ties in the course of the performance,
most of which have never appeared lin. the
play before.
Sawtelle Dramatic Co.
The Portsmouth Times says:
1.-THE Sawtelle dramatic company be-
gan weeks engagement at City hall
last evening, presenting the drama Lost
at Sea. The piece gave the best of salts
faction and created most favorable i'm
preston towards the company, which is
one Of the strongest that has ever visited
this city for weeks engagement. All
the members of the organization show ed
themselves perfectly capable
of the parts assigned them.
The company has Its own band and or
chestra and the play ing of the latter 1s
certainly feature of each performance.
The company has number of good
singers in it's ranks and an enormous
amount of speeialties of this kind is in
troduoed." The Sawtelle Company will
begin weeks engagement at Portland
taeatre Monday.

MANLEY ENTHUSIASTIC.
Says Effect on the Rest of the Country
Will Be Powerful

Augusta, Me. Sept. 15.-Mr J. H.
Manley, chairman of the Republican
state committee, said to a representa-
tive of the Associated Press:
THE sweeping Republican majority
in Maine proves cOnclusively that so
far as Maine voters are concerned, the
free and unlimited coinage of silver at
the ratio of 16 to L, cannot be defended.
and will never have. the Endorsement
of the people of this state.
THE vote shows no free silver voters
among the Republicans of the state
It proves that the Democratic party
cannot be carried as party to the in
dorsement of this financial heresy.
Great credit should be given to those
Democrats throughout the state who
rose above party and aided the Repub-
hcans in winning this fight.
"A much larger number of Democrats
who could not support their party alb
stained from voting. Any attempt to
ignore or belittle the effect of the de-
cisive vote in Maine by the leaders of
the silver party will only make them
ridiculous. The Democratic party in
Maine has not had for years so good or
so effective an organization as it has
had in this campaign and it has had the
prestige of having the candidate for
vice president a resident of our state.
1T has resOrted to every effort and
every device to cut down the Republi-
can majority of four years ago. 1t ex-
would do it, and now it is overwhelmed
with the indignant rebulze of the peO-
pie, it attempts to say that it is just
what it expected. The Republicans
frankly confess that the majority is
much larger than they expected Their
own vote corresponds with the canvass
but they did not expect SO many Dem
OcratS to refrain from voting. It is a
victory greater and grander than the
Republican party in Maine ever before
won and the country will soon under
stand it. and no amount of explaining
or excusing will wipe out its effects.
The contest was waged entirely upon
national issues, and we fought in Maine
not only the September but the Novem- |
Der contest
