The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1866-10-05
Hon. Morgan L. Martin.

=
The Green Bay Gu-ette, a Republican
paper, thus notices our nominee for Com
gress, end at the same time hits Radical
cotcmporary few good raps:
From all parts of the district, we have
lie most cheering intelligence IN regard to
the success Of the conservative candidate
for Congress. Mr. Martin S long residence
in Wisconsin, his extensive acquaintance
with the people, all bring TO him many sup
porters who do not agree with his political
views.
1t may do Cor such suicidal and fanatical
sheets as the Madison .joarjsat to speak Of
him as a fossil politician" but it will not
iniure him here where he is 50 well known.
In the J0ufndFs eyes, everything IS
fossil" now-a days that don't Join the
revolutionary schemes Of the radicals.
The Appleton Crescent also has the fol-
lowing in relation to Mr.. Martin, and his
sacrifices for the people Of the Fox River
Valley:
We have had letters from or convcrScd
With mon residing in every part Of the dis
trlct. There is but one sentiment expressed: ::
warm attachment to Morgan l.. Martin, and
a determination to labor to elect him.
Maj Martin is poor. He sunk his property
in the building Of the Fox River Improve
ment. He cannot, Ike Sawyer, spend his
thousands to bribe men to support him.
Many men, inclined to radicalism in their
hates and sympathies, are yet so manly
that they will vote for him. They think
the district should be represented by a
sufficient degree Of talent and intelligence
to command ordinary respect III the halls of
Congress, and they are honest enough to
acknowledge that such Is not the case.
The old settlers, who are iamlIar with his
life and services, will, with rare exceptions
support Morgan i. Martin.
Returns from Maine-Not by Telegraph
If the returns Of the Maine election are
only kept back long enough, possibly they
may show that the Democrats have carried
the state. Thus far, says The New York
World Of the 2Gth ult., every additional
report from Maine has reduced the majority
claimed for tie Republicans. First it was
80, 000, then 2S, 900, then &c, 600, and now
it promises not to exceed $4,000. There
are in the state 43l towns, Of which 3G2
have been heard from, and these voted as
follows:
Chamberlain, lrcp. ).....................G4,945
P.Ilsbuly, tdem. ).....~.................5S los
Republican -m@iority ...................26.S .S37
The remaining 60 towns, it is believed,
will reduce this minority to $4,000 at least
Should this be the case, the Democratic
vote ofISGG Will show an increase Of TWEEN
tyiiyc per cent. over that Of last year,
while the corresponding Republican increa-o
will be but five per cent.

The Demonstration IN New York.
The New y Iork Uoruid, iii its report Of
the great ratification meeting Of the Demo
cratic and National Union parties held in
that city last week, uses this language:
"Ncw York never saw such demonstra-
