Oppo gainin ll6 towns, 5,S55
Showing gain Of 1855 for fairfield, compared with
the Presidential election last November, when the
vote, on both sides, was unprecedently large. The
Opposition vote in the above townships Is now 54l
larger than il was then, while tho Wing vote is 1914
less than il was then. Total, as above, 5S55. The
indications are that Fafelds majority in the State
will be somewhere in the neighborhood Of 10000.
Senate. -Four Opposition members are elected IN
Cumberland county, 2 in Waldo, 2 ofcourse in Ok
ford in York, probably 2 in Penobscot, &c. Three
Wings, we presume, are elected in Kennebec Lin
coin uncertain. Cumberland Lincoln, and Penob-
SCOT represented in the last Senate by Wings
House.-The Opposition have gained, thus far,
representatives in Cumberland county, 5 in York,
in Lincoln, | in Kennebec, &c. There can be no
doubt of their having majority in that body as we'll
as in the Senate.
The New York Journal of Commerce says the true
explanation Of the phenomenon in Maine, is to be
found in The pcrnacous attempts Of portion OF
the Wing party to force upon the country, at all
hazards, National Bank and in their unmeasurcd
abuse of President Tyler, because he refused to sanc-
ton the measure. Had Mr.. Clay, other ultra
Wing, been at the head of the Administration, and
had Bank been established, Gas Of course 1t would
have been, in the supposedly we have no doubt
that the change in Maine would have been much
greater than it is at present. The fact is, that the
people Of Maine say of the country at large arc
opposed to the establishment of a National Bank This
evinced by the fact that in 1892, with full know
ledge of Gen. Jackson determined opposition to
National Bank, they gave him majority OF 6oo7
votes, and to Mr.. Van Buren,, in 1886, majority OF
775l votes. The vote last November not in con-
tradiction to the above the question Oft National
Bank was not before the people as distinctive mea-
sure of the Wing party Gen. Harrison had publicly
declared that he should be in favor Of Bank I'M
less plainly demanded by the people, and Tyler too"
was known to be decidedly opposed to it, The dif-
Guilty in Maine is, not that the Whggery with which
they have been served lacks seasoning, but that 10
too highly seasoned. And the same difficulty will be
found elsewhere National Bank is to be the watch
word Of the party That question was fairly put to
the people two occasions, and Mr. Clay knows too
well how they decided it, Even Gen. Harrison run
badly Tin 1886 with this weight upon his neck In
1910 he had the free use Of his limbs unencumbered
by this weight, while the Subtreasury was heavy
burden upon the back of his opponent, and the result
we need not repeat
1t is important in prescribing for diseases, not to
mistake their character otherwise the prescription
may only sggravate, instead ofcuring them To give
man more Bank, as a cure for Bank nausea, Is
kind Of homeopathic which suspect will not an
swer 90 we'll as homeopathic does in PROFESSIONALLY
because there is not the opportunity for humbug
in the former case in the latter.
