The Better Part

of valor is discretion" and the bet
ter part of the treatment of disease is
prevention. Disease originates in
impurities in the blood. Hoods Sar-
saparilla purifes the blood. People
who take it at this season say they are
kept healthy the year round. 1t is
because this medicine expels impuri-
ties and makes the blood rich and
health-giving.

Saratoga. n. Y, Aug IA (speciaD.-Repub-
hcans Of this part OF the State who have come
mere and a large proportion Of the Republicans

saying for the last week that in their judg-

the Republican nomination for Governor the
man nominated would be Lieutenant-Goveror
Timothy L. Woodruff Of Kings County.
one Of the reasons which led Republican
politicians to think that preparations were being
made to clear the way for the nomination Of Mr..
Woodruff was the sudden agreement Of Senator
Platt 10 the nomination Of Jacob Worth for
Congress in the With Congress District. Mr..
Worth. IT was said. had been involved in a con-
fict with Mr.. Woodruff. What was more prob
able than that an effort was being made TO
conciliate him and his friends. in order that Mr.

Plurality &C.. 6444 '16e 10 SIS 1903 Il sos a. 24s
Democratic plurality STAT. for Garfield IN Ma
The Republican party was founded IN 1855
and the lowest Democratic vote ever cast IN
Maine prior to 1895 was thrown in that year
and totalled 43.628 votes, which were cast for
Buchanan Yet the vote for Bryan IN 1896 fell
927S below those low figures and no less than
21,04T below that of 1892 and 26.99S below that
of 1885.
On the other hand. the Republicans never pre-
viously threw as heavy a vote they did IN
1896 either in a State or a National election.
Their vote of 80 596 in 1896 exceeded that Of 1892
by Il, 696 and that Of 1888 by 3.145. Thus It will
be that the Democrats in 1885 sustained
& heavy and unprecedented loss in their vote
A small proportion Of this loss unquestlonaoly
went to the Republicans, and accounts for their
gain, but the vast majority OF that loss was g
dead loss, for the voters stayed at home and did
not cast their votes.
The normal Republican plurality IN Maine is
not over 10000. To reduce the phenomenal Re
publican plurality OF 1896 in Maine It will not
be necessary for the Democrats to attempt any
reduction in the Republican vote great as that
All that they need bend their strength to
Is to poll the full Democratic vote With silver
given the go by, and the other issues placed
well in the background which in 1896 caused
them 10 stay away from the voting booths. II Is
not unlikely that the Democrats VIII IN 1910
be able to poll a vote approximating their nor
nal one. Say that in 1900 the Republicans are
able to hold their vote up and cast the same
that they did in 1895, and at the same time the
Democrats whip in the recalcitrant members OF
on Election Day If Democracy in 1900 gets out
in Maine the vote she did in 1892 the Republican
plurality would then be reduced TO 27.199; If
Democracy polls her vote of 1888 that plurality
would be further reduced 10 21,2
Then would come Democratic handshaking,
Democratic congratulations and Democratic pre-
dictions Of success. Yet what would such a
vote prove? Certainly not that the Republicans
had lost strength, but rather that the Demo
Gratis in Maine had resumed that bit Of voting
in 1900 which they abandoned in 1896
It would be well for Republicans elsewhere
to bear these facts in mind. They should not
allow themselves TO be confused or disheart-
ened If Names Republican majority shows an
apparent dirninution this year. It will not be
real. The phenomenal majority Of 1896 should
not be taken a comparison. That of previous
elections is the only proper comparison. the
plurality OF 1896 was monstrous, illogical and
absurd. and IN all probability will never be re-
