THE MAINE ELECTION

The teegaphc reports which have received leave no
doubt think Of the election OF Mr. Hamin as gov
ernor This has not been unexpected to u.s. BY reference
statement OF the which, in part have led to that re-
suit Mr.. Hamlin oId-ne democrat could lead of
very large body Of democrats With the false name Of re-
publican which he assumed II was not difficult task 10
mysfy the public mind But believe the sober second
thought Of that people will bring them to take vengeance
the 4h Of November for the deception which has been
pracsed upon them. The presidential election is very
different thing from that Of governor The people cannot
be deuded about that They know the difference between
the abolition party who In combination with Fremont
and his supporters Of all other shades and coors They
will make the distinction. There Is time for this scrutiny
The democratic press Of Maine and Of all New England
has at its head Of talent mental discipline untiring
industry and sterling moral courage The policy Of the
black republicans win be examined and exposed with skill
and ability and the people Of Maine win understand Il in
all its bearings before the presidential election.
In this oonnexon also have to say that we are not
the afraid that the influence of the Maine election will
produce any injurious effects against the democracy in any
Of the other States In every presidential election incidents
Of this kind have occurred. In 1890 with surroundings
like that from every quarter New Hampshire showed her
self Enacted upon in any way except to be stimulated with
greater zeal and TO double her democratic majority This
example Of the noble old Granite State OF that year win be
followed now everywhere The democracy will be aroused
ts more intense effort and viii win Strumph for the cause
Of the Union which win be memorable In all time to
