Presidential Electors Must All BE
Chosen in State Convention.
HEADQUARTERS
REPrRLICAN STATE COMMITTEE,

Stale 4
AUGUSTA, MAINE, JAN. 4. 1900.
To the Republicans of Maine:-Prior
to 1892 two Presidential electors at large,
corresponding to the two United States
senators, were nominated in State con-
vention, and the remaining electors, cor
responding to the members of the United
States House of Representatives were
nominated by the several congressional
district conventions.
The passage of the Australian Ballot
law entirely changed the procedure. I'm
der the law, all Conventions are a por-
ton of our election system, and this
ballot act requires that candidates to be
voted for by tho Voters throughout the
whole State must be placed in nomina-
ton by a convention representing no less
a constituency than the whole State.
Hence, all the candidates of a party for
Presidential electors must be nominated
in State Convention, and / have there
fore included in the call six electors.

A GOOD THING.

German Syrup is the special prescrip-
ton Of DR.. A. Boschee, a celebrated
| German Physician, and is acknoWl-
edged to be one of the most fortunate
discoveries in Medicine. 1t quickly cures
Coughs, Colds and all Lung troubles OF
the severest nature, removing, as 1t
does, the cause of the affection and
leaving the parts in a strong and
healthy condition. 1t is not an expert
mental medicine, but has stood the test
of years, giving satisfaction in every
case, which it's rapidly increasing sale
every season confirms. Two million bot
ties sold annually. Boschee's German
Syrup was introduced in the United
States in 1868, and is now sold in every
town and village in the civilized world.

CHRISTMAS CHIMES.

From yonder belfry. old and gray.
Where thick the frosted ivy climbs,
Now sweet and slow, now blithely gay,
Along the shining, wintry way,
There comes the sound of Christmas
chimes;
Across the sunlit SHOWS that lie,
A glittering fleece of jewels rare,
Now grandly rising far on high.
Now borne in tenderest whispers nigh,
They fill with joy the morning air.
In tranquil calm the landscape smilssi
The spirit of all peace is here;
The simple life no passion wiles,
Nor storm, nor stress the heart beguilss
From paths by duty rerdered dear,
When flashed DER Judah's plains the light
Whose luster with the ages swells;
The joy, that sweetly solemn night,
Revealed to man on Bethlehem ms height,
Seems echoed here in Christmas bells.
Warmed by the yule-log's CHEEKY blaze,
With friends around the hearth-stonss
wide,
In simple sports. or old-time lays.
Or legends quaint of other days,
The village keeps it's Christmas tide:
Or, seated round the ample board,
Exponent true of prosperous times.
From hearts with life's contentment stored,
In homely phrase, are praises poured
That blend, perchance. with Christmas
chimes.
Within the manor's stately hall
Kind hearts with Christmas cheer keep
pace,
And children's merry voices call,
And bounteous gifts for one and all
From loving hands the season grace.
With rich or poor, with old or young
Within each heart some memory dwells
or bliss the by-gone years may hold
Which now, like some sweet tale retold,
Comes back again with Christmas bells.
/
Sweet Christmas bells, through every lane
Rims out your message, far and wide;
That faith, by Love Divine, be famed,
And Gods sweet peace with men may stand,
And charity with all abide.
