PUBLIC SERVICE,

The Republican campaign textbook
issued by the Republican national
committee draws attention to the fact
ttat nearly 5000 negroes are employ
ed in the public service and they re-
tcive salaries aggregating nearly 3d.
100000 a year.
IN calling attention to this fact, the
editor Of the book notes that this eur
n1shes further evidence of the broad
and liberal policies of the Republican
party. while the further fact that the
colored employees are proverbially
faithful, courteous and efficient is am
pie justification of tn eattitude of the
party toward the freedmen of the ma.

Not in many years have the independ

disposition to act with the Demo

Republican state, like Maine, there
has been great Democratic awaken
ing, a marked increase in the Demo
cratic vote and a sweeping reduction
in the Republican plurality of nearly
5000 from that of four years ago.
