Even rural free delivery was opposed by
the Democrats during Cieveiand's ad-
ministration and the idea was revived
and put into active operation under
President Mckinley, and has been en-
courased and greatly developed under
the present administration. The
Democrats denounce as temporary and
fictitious the splendid prosperity which
tive tariff. and they attempted to make
capital by complaining of the higher
cost of food which came as the natural
result of the increased demand az
companying the general prosperity and
high wages.
In short, during the last four years,
as throughout their history, the Repub-
lican party has been the party which
has done things, which has done them
well and for the benefit of the country
While the Democracy, now as ever, is
the party of laundering, of negation of
fault-finding and inaction; the party
which always manages to get on the
wrong side of every great public ques-
ton before the country and is drag to
the wheels of progress Upon Their
records these two parties now
stand before the country again. and no
citizen of Maine can escape the fact
that when he votes September Il. his
vote counts for Or against the endorse
ment of the Republican record of the

garded throughout the land as vote
