Maine has given a death blow to the
hopes Of the Democracy. The fate OF the
party was decided when Seymour and
Blair were forced upon the ralnmany Con-
vention as its leaders. aud now the states
are giving in their verdict. and the ..otar

emphatic voice pronounces her condemns

Maine would have spoken in hesitatng
tones. as if doubling the correctness other
judgment. but they were doomed to ee
disappointed. As 4 condemnation was
never more deserved. SO was it never m gre
choerfully and clearly spoken.

impaired, the country seemed to be turn

the gloom. And again. since the Clash OF
arms has ceased. when the work OF recon
struction has Jagged. and taxes have been
high, and business has been dull. people
have turned to that light. hobins that III
