Maine Election.

Maine Election.
The result of the election in Maine, is a even
more overwhelmingly crushing verdict of con-
demnation upon this Administration Of violat-
ed compacts, than any could have anticipated.
We knew that the people were aroused, beyond
all previous political excitement, by the deep
and damning perfidy of the repeal of the Com
promise of 1920, but we did not anticipate such
a complete humiliation of the once dominant
and powerful Democratic party Of Maine as has
been witnessed. That party, which at one
time, and for long series of years, swept the
State by overpowering majOrities, which usual
ly elected every member OF Congress, with
but a solitary exception, has become an obso-
lete and exploded thing, relic of inquiti es
only a small remnant having been lett, to show
that such party had an existence. On the
popular vote it is beaten by tens of thousands
on Governor, and is even beaten in a worse
manner on the Congressional, not having cho-
sen a single member of Congress in all the
! State. In the First District, Hon. John NJ
Wood, Wing and Anti-Nebraska, takes the
place of the arbitrator, Mcdonald, by an
overwhelming vote. In the city of Portland,
his majority is over eleven hundred, and in Sa-
CO and Biddcford almost as much more. Wells.
his opponent, who tried to sit on two stools, is
! left out of sight by his opponent.
In the Second District. Mr.. Perry, formerly a
prominent Democrat. but now the nominee both
of the Wings and the Morrill, Democrats, has
in like manner been chosen by large MAORI

! In the third district where unfortunately the
anti-NeLraska forces were divided, the telc-
graph reports the election of KnOwltOn. anti
Nebraska, in place of Hon. +. Wilder Farley,
Wing.
! In the fourth district, Benson, Wing and an

/ In the fifth district, Washburnc Wing and
anti-Nebraska, is also reelected by a large ma
jority.
In the sixth district, Milikin. the anti-Ncbras-
ka nominee, takes the place of Fuller, LocotO-
co. Hon. Noah Smith was the Wing candidate.
but was net generally supported by the party.
Mr.. Millikin has been a Wing in his antecc-
dents.
Thus it will be seen that Maine has elected
an entire anti-Administraton delegation to
Congress. Where can the Administration hope
to choose one?
Mr. Morrill,, the candidate of the anti
Administration Democrats. the Free Sellers,
the Maine Law men, and the know-Nnothings,
has been chosen Governor by the people over
all other candidates. In some places there APP
pears to have been general breaking up Of
party line in his favor. Thus in the strong
Wing city of Bath, sixth -scvtnths of the Wings
and three-fourths Of the Democrats cast their
ballots for him.
The Legislature is overwhelmingly anti-Ad-
minstration and anti Nebraska. The PEOPLE
have spoken in thunder tones against this cor
rupt and faithless Administration, which has
trampled upon their rights and panpcred to the
worst influences, the pro-pagandism Of slavery.
PORTLAND, Sept. IL.
The Fusion ticket for Representatives is
elected in this city.
Seven towns for Congress in the First Dis

is given by the towns of Saco and Bddcford.
There can be no doubt of his election
In the Second District. Perry, Fusonst is
ahead. Bethel. which at the last election gave
Mayall (Dem) 22l majority now gives Perry 80.
The FusiOnist Senators are probably elected
in York and Cumberland Counties.
For Representatives there is not much change
thus far

cratic majority in Scarboro', and elects Il Fu-
s!Onst Representative. In GorlIam, the Dem
