The DUTY Of The Third District Republicans.

We desire to especially call the atten-
ton of our Republican readers to the
appeal of the Third District Republic
can committee which is published else
where in this issue. In that appeal the
issues that enter into the special cleo
tion. which will be held, next Monday,
to choose a successor to the late Con-
gressman Milliken, are very clearly
and forcibly set forth. There is need
of Republican activity all along the
line. and no effort should be spared in
any town in the district to bring out
the full party vote at the polls. Over
confidence should lead no Republican
in any part of the district to fail to
register his vote on that day. Indeed,
the absence of the special stimulus Of
a full ticket should lead Republican
workers TO put lOTlH Spttlii cACi lioiiS'
The Democratic district convention
endorsed the policy of free silver-a
scheme to debauch the national cur
rency to swell the profits of the bo-
nanza owners of silver mines. Let us
give one practical illustration of what
this policy would mean for our own
State of Maine people. One savings
bank in Augusta holds $4,000, 900 in
Western securities. In this whole
amount there is not a single farm
mortgage. These securities are the in
terest bearing bonds of wealthy West
ern states, counties, and municipalities.
They represent the investment of the
hard earned savings-in many cases
the results of years of patient toil-of
more than 10000 people living in the
Third Congressional district of Maine.
A large number Of them are women,
many of them hard working farmers

such an enormous shrinkage in the
value of the circulating medium.
This scheme of Free Silver coinage
originated by the bonanza silver kings,
and pushed for their own great emolu-
mcnt and profit--was incorporated by
the recent Democratic convention in
this district. into their platform. and

What will their answer be? The voters
spoke in September, and again in No
vember with an emphasis that could
scarcely have been mistaken, and now
that they are called upon to speak
again, we do not apprehend that they

dustrious and intelligent people of this
district will never be found in other
than hostile array, to the great project
of the big Silver Trust for the securing
of larger dividends on their mining
stock, which has, heretofore, gone by
the name of free silver coinage.
| At such a time, with a bill for the re-
turn again to the prosperous days of
protection pending in Congress, no Re-
publican in the Third District, no
friend of national honor, whatever may
have been his political creed in years
gone by, can afford to remain away
from the polls. The occasion calls for
a full vote, and we believe that the
Republican spirit of the old Third
District will be found fully equal to it.
