engaged in an unholy against the constitution II Is
cheering to know that the people still true to liberty
Our faith in the permanency Of free institutions is
stronger to-day than Against almost nsurmount
able obstacles, the people of Maine have triumphed.
With large majority against them-with unscrupu
ous administration fighting desperately in this its forlorn
hpe-they have achieved a victory which will rejoice
the hearts Of all who love freedom better than slavery
or constitutional liberty better than dcspotsm Read the
