MAINE AND VICTORY

The news from Maine is inspiring.
The victory is complete The enemy
is routed at every point.
Everywhere are Republican gains.
Two or three small Democratic gains
are scattered through the returns just
enough to show how forlorn they are.
Tho vote is the largest ever cast in
the State. Never was a canvass more
thorough. Never were such exertions
made by both parties. The victory has
been won by hard work, and having
earned it, theSRspublicans have all the
greater right to rejoice.
The returns in detail, in our regular
report, show the current of the vote.
Our special from the Tribune Office
gives what may be relied on as an ap-
proclamation to the result. From twen-
ty-two to twenty five thousand are the
estimated figures. The lower ii ure will
do, and this is the estimate of Repre-
sentative BlalneI chrelul anu dCcuEate
calculator.
Twenty-Five thousand.will do!
Double the majority of last year!
SAID prominent Democrat in this
city last evening. "If the Republicans
carry Maine by 10000 I will throw up
NV hat" Up with it, then, brother
and give us three cheers for Grantl
Brother Democrats of Wheeling, you
see there is no chance for you. You
had better come around gracefully and
help US to elect Grant. He is going to
be the President, but we would like to
have you all vote for him. Might as
we'll make it unanimous!
