Do you see the handwriting ?

The sky is bright, and all things prom
iscwell Vermont and Maine have sound
cd one bugle-note of the contest and have
made themselves the harbingers of one of
the greatest victories ever achieved by a
political party. Our own noble Pennsyl-
vania is all aglow with zeal for Grant and
Colfax. In the western part of the State,
Gov. Geary, ex-Gov. Curtin, Hon. Lewis
Barker, of Maine ex-Gov. Tod and Hon.
John Sherman, of Ohio, and others equal
ly worthy and able, have met with enthu-
siastic responses from the people. The
recent outpouring of the masses of Ale
ghany in a grand mass meeting and pro-
ccssion was one of the most successful
affairs ever witnessed. Though the rain
fell in torrents, not less than 10000 Re-
publicans were in line In the northern
part of the State, Hon. James a. Briggs,
Of New York: Gen. Sickles, and others,
have also been met with the greatest en-
thusiasm. Pennsylvania may be put down
for 20 900 for Grant ard Colfax, and as
Pennsylvania goes so goes the Union.
The Ebensburg Alleghanian. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1865-1871, 1868-10-01
Maine.

Our Democratic cotemporaries have
been figuring hard to make it appear that
the recent election in Maine has resulted
more favorably for them than those of for
mer years We have now complete official
returns from all parts of the State except
one town and twenty-seven districts. We
append the result, and make our opposi-
ton friends welcome to all the milk they
can get out of this cocoa-nut. Last year,
the number of Republicans in the House
of Representatives was 105, and Demo-
Gratis 46; this year, the number of Repub-
licans is 119, and Democrats 80. Last
year, the number of Republicans in the
Senate was q, and Democrats 4 /; his
year, Republicans %, Democrats 2. Our
majority will be about 20,400. When it
comes to voting for Grant and Colfax, the
Pine Tree State will go % 900 majority
at least.

at least.

Betting in politics is no argument, yet
it is looked upon as straw showing which
way the wind blows. The Johnstown
Tribune says that it is authorized to an
nounce that friend has deposited $500 at
the First National Bank of Johnstown as
a wager on the result of the Presidential
election, if any Democrat can be found
who will accept it. He offers to bet s400
that Grant and Colfax will be elected if
they live $50 that they will carry every
