The City ELECTION.

On the I'd of March the total vote polled in
the city was 1926. Yesterday, with fair weather
the total vote was swollen to 5519. The NC
Lellan vote was increased by 2S9; Inc Dee'ins
vote by SO; making Republican increase Vi
BIT. The Democratic vote was increased DS
316; leaving a net Republican gain IN TWO
weeks of g.. This is the vote OF the city mere
ly: the vote of the islands was vitiated by ir-
Irregularities at every step at the last election,
and presents an exceedingly unpleasant APP
pearance this morning Our majority in the
city two weeks ago was 342, and is now 4O3,
emitting in both cases the few scattering votes.
Ii we compare the votes by wards we shall
mud that the Democratic majority OF % in the
Second has been cut down to 55. Ir Three
the Republican majority has been increased
by 30, and in Five by SO. OF the rest the less
said the better. Four was stubbornly contest
ed, but the Democratic majority which was 81
before is II now
IL mas been stubborn contest throughout,
and both parties are probably somewhat disap-
pointed at the indecisive result. Strange as
1T may seem, there were many Democrats who
yesterday morning thought this city, with her
good 400 Republican majority, was going TO
elect Democratic Mayor. There were some
2700 Republicans who expected to elect their
candidate. There were 267 Republicans who
expected -, on reflection we are unable
to say with any degree of confidence what they
did expect. They succeeded in showing that
tne Republican party to win in the stirring
campaign which is opening must stand by its
principles and its candidates. New Hamp-
shire, as it turned out, was quite able to get
along without our help. Connecticut will have
to do the same. The only assistance which
Portland can lend to Republicans elsewhere
this spring is to present herself as a spectacle
and melancholy warning-as an illustration
OF the impotence of party suffering from in
ternal dissensions. We are entering on such
political struggle as has never been seen be-
fore. 1t is the supreme effort of the Demo
cratic party. We shall beat them, but it will
not be by wrangling among ourselves. The
time for that business has passed. If we
mean to give our full majority next fall for
Governor, for Congressman and for President,
it is time now to draw together.

The KUKLUx KLAN.-If Democrat is re-
preached because his party nourishes in its
ranks such monsters as that band of cut
throats and robbers, the "Kuklux Klan," he
Immediately retorts that the Republicans have
their Grand Army of the Republic and thinks
the honor of his party vindicRted. The two
organizations have one point of similarity
secrecy; but in all else there is a whole heaven
between them. The main work of the Grand
Army is to relieve the necessities and care for
the general well-being of soldiers and sailors
and their families. In the whole range of
philanthropic enterprise there can be no more
worthy object than this. The Grand Army
is composed of men belonging to both politi-
cal parties. Its influence is always exerted
when it is called upon for an expression on
public affairs, in favor of law and order. To
compare it with the lawless bands of robbers
and assassins that are exciting rebellion in
Tennessee and filing the South with blood
shed and confusion is simply absurd. If Gen
eral Thomas, otherwise known as "Old Relia-
ble," is let loose on these fellows he will make
short work of them.

wEsTBROoK ELECTION!
A Round Majority of 100 (!

Our friends in Westbrook did glorious
days work yesterday. After some years OF
Democratic rule they turned over new leaf
last spring and elected Republican board by
a majority of about 1S. In September, how
ever, they lost the town again, giving Governor
Chamberlain majority of only votes out OF
lila, and sending Democratic Representa-
tive to the Legislature. Yesterday morning
they elected their Moderator by majority Of
40, which they brought up TO a round hundred
before they got through. The figures stand
as follows, names of Republican candidates
being given first in each case

A REPLY TO the Greene Pamphlet by the
Trustees OF the Maine Wesleyan Seminary
and Female College at Kent's Hill has recent
ly been published Its object is to preclude
the possibility of the institution suffering
from the very grave charges made against its
officers by Mr.. Greene in relation to matters
connected with the suicide of his unfortunate
daughter. 1t comprises large number of af-
fidavits from former pupils of the school and
other persons acquainted with its manage
ment, all going to show that the faculty could
not have been guilty of the cruelty and injus
tice with which they are charged by Mr.
Greene. Both sides to this controversy hav.
ing now presented their respective cases al
great length, we may perhaps indulge the
hope that the matter will be permitted to rest.

In anticipation of another hard fight in
Connecticut that State has already been invad-
ed by large number of stump speakers be-
longing to both parties. Gen. Sickles, who
was perhaps the most efficient of the Republi-
can speakers in New Hampshire, is already
in Connecticut and will remain there till the
25th inst. when he will be obliged to return to
Washington. Among the speakers who will
leave Washington in a few days for the front
are Senators Wilson, Harlan and Thayer, and
Representatives Starkweather, Stokes, VIII
lams ofIndiana, Coburn, Ella, Garfield and
Donnelly. The Republicans may coDgratu-
late themselves that they have not Barnum to
carry in the campaign, and that Brick Pome-
roy is already among them.

THE CONDITION OF Mr. STEvENs.-A Wash
ington dispatch says that since the exerton OF
Friday the health Of Mr.. Stevens has shown
more serious evidence OF decline than at
any other time since his arrival in Washing
ton, and it is thought by those intimately &C.
quainted with every phase OF his failing con-
dition, that it is very doubtful whether he will
again be able to leave his room. Mr.. Stevens
has negro servant towards VIII pm he has al
ways been particularly kind, and every morn
ing upon entering his room he calls him by
name. Monday morning his servant entered
the room as usual, Mr.. Stevens was observed
to look at him intently but apparently failed
to recognize him. This indication of so great
change was observed by several of Mr. Stevens
household who were in the room at the time
Several members OF Congress who called Mon
day upon business of an important nature,
were requested not to insist on seeing Mr.
Stevens. The greatest fears are now enter
tanned that Mr.. Stevens days of duty are
ended.

a HINT FOR WESTERN FNANCIERs-The
stroke of financial policy described in the fol-
lowing paragraph is altogether in the line of
some of the Western financiers:
The Bey of Tunis appears to have curious
notions as to the observance of national obi
cations. In 1868 and 1865 his Highness bor-
rowed money at per ceut., and now with
coupons in arrears he proposes to convert the
outstanding bonds from per cent. into a 6
per cent stock. The arrangement originally
proposed for the redemption of the bonds of
Bey, however, in consideration of the strange
conversion proposed, promises the obligation
holders share in the profits of a national Tu-
nissan bank proposed to be established.

A CHURN AT LAsT.-It is a well-known fact
that all intended improvements on the old
fashioned dash churn have thus far been fall
ures; but we saw at the United States Hotel,
Saturday, an invention in the way of a churn
which must eventually come into general use.
1t is SO arranged that persons can take their
choice,-have the old up and down stroke, or
in breath you have rotary churn. The
dash is in the shape of scroll or screw, and
will not allow the cream to work IN on The
dash. 1t is extremely easy to operate, and
child ten years of age can do half barrel
churning.
This wonderful invention is to be seen at
the United States Hotel, and Mr.. Henry Stew

purpose of selling the State right, marl6dSt

ATTEMPTS AT FRAUDULENT VoTING.-Nu-
merous attempts were made yesterday by
Democrats to throw more than one vote. In
Ward a man was detected in the act of put
ting three ballots in the box. Another man
voted and insisted upon voting again, stating
that he had not been in the ward room before.
But there were a dozen persons who recog-
nized him as having voted short time pre-
vious, and his name was found checked on the
list Undoubtedly some of these tricks were
successful in other wards, and thus the Demo-
craticvote was swelled beyond its proper num-
ber But that trick did not carry success
