The Fall elections.

We publish articles from the New
York Tribune and Herald on the
Maine election elsewhere in this issue.
The words of the Tribune are very OPP
perfume, and shoul Id be needed by the
Republican party. While the victory
appears SO easy, there is much work
for all to do, and we must not sleep
upon our arms. - = =
The article from the Herqld dis
quite Significant Of the future It is
the Presidents most powerful sup
porter. 1t is the "Thunderer" of
the Johnson press lin the United
States. The concession which it
makes is clearly decisive of the re-
suit. Before the Maine election it
was hopeful, that with the disaffection
of the Republican leaders, the ADJ
ministration might gain two of the
Congressman. But when the result
is made known, it plainly comedies
that the contest, as far as the, Fall
elections are concerned is lost, and
claims that the party of the President
must look to the elections of 1868 for
their triumph.
The overwhelming result in Maine
indicates that the Union Republican
party will sweep the whole North at
the coming elections. This is no
longer matter of doubt or question.
The Presidents tour has had the eff
feet to fix every. wavering vote, which
has, any claims to Republicanism, and

to speak for and to a so-called Sol

fingers with us, and has actually been
employed to canvass the County in

is pretty well known to many in this

necessary to make them public. He
