gave the Administration party courage AMI
increased zeal The last Legislature passed a
stringent temperance law, which the Democra-
ey tried to use against the Republicans, and in
two or three Congressional districts there was

They went into the canvass determined to win,

districts. The amyo of ofice-holdcrs along the
great extent of sea coast of Maine were minute
men in the service of the Administration, and
federal money was unscrupulously used to Sc

pister Of the number Of voters in every town IN
the State, carefully classified according to the
shades of their politics From many towns they
had a list of the names, stltement OF the Po-
litical antecedonts, &c, of every elcctOr, and
80 honorable means were left untried to supply
the desired information and obtain the fullest
possible vote. Every chairman of town or
district Committee was notified of the exact
quota of votes which was expected from the re-
zion under his supervision. In short, the Or
ganization was complete, and the Victory glori-
Gus. The vote was greatly increased throughout
the State, and the Republicans secured prop
er share Of it.
The Republicans of Ohio can and should do
likewise. There is no time to waste in supine-
ness. The election takes place in few weeks.
Old organizations should be revived and inspirit-
cd, and new ones created at once. Work like
Maine. will win like Maine.
