Among the pleasant little things that are Of
fered as condiments TO the great Republican
feast of Tuesday are the following:
John Quincy Adams of Massachusetts, who
has this year repeated his former experiment
OF running for Governor of the State and for
representative to the legislature from "his ma
tive town,"-an experiment which made him a
P. L. l.. leader in the legislature last winter
has been elected, to use the graphic language
of the dispatch, ito stay at bome"
Seymour, whose mammoth watermelons
have failed to impress the bucolic mind OF
Deerfeld gets an adverse majority in that de-
lightful rural retreat
Grant, on the other hand, carries Galena
the place of his former residence, though il
has been heretofore uniformly De mocratic.
Grant runs ahead of his ticket everywhere
Morrissey, Brooks, Cox and Wood are elect
ed to Congress from New York city What
that?
Donnelly, the Minnesota blackguard, is de-
feated for Congres IS. Let the eagle scream!-
Donnelly opposed the Northern Pacific rail
road.
Tennessee, enormously aud uuaccountably
reported Democratic by the dispatches of Tues
day night, is still in the hands of loyal men.
These points taken in connection with the
grand general result make very pleasant sub
jects for Republican contemplation.
Every representative district in Cumberland
County thus far heard from gives Republi
can majority.
The Portland daily press., 1868-11-05


After Grant. General Butler has bssn the
prominent figure in the great political contest
now happily ended. We infer from the re.
turns from the Essex district that he is re-
elected to Congress, Therefore we rise to ex-
plain.
In the first place, 1t has been said that Maine
papers have no business to discuss the local
political issues of another State. This is a
mistake. A newspaper has right 10 discuss
anything IN the aaiUerSe that it can get hold of.
the only limitation being the requirements of
good morals and good manners. Gen. Buffers
case was one of national importance, and it
seemed to be, while the contest was pending,
struggle between the righteousness of homes
ty and the wickedness of reputation. there
fore anybody had right to discuss 1t, as fuiiy
and as warmly as they would
But it appears from the returns from the LIS
sex district that there has been amisapprehen-
sion on the part of those who have opposed
Gen. Butler,--uot with reference to him, hut
with respect to the motives of his supporters.
This misapprehension, which We have shared,
has led 10 a feeling of unjustifiable suspicion
as to the fealty of the people of Essex county
to the c'lrdinal doctrines of Republicanism.-
But when we see that Gen. Buffers immense
majority was made up wholly OF the Repubii-
cans of one of the most Radical Congressional
Districts in the Union, that he drew absolutely
not hing from the Democratic ranks, that the
financial plank of the platform adopted by his
constituents was as good as the golden one
hewed out at Chicago, it is evident that But
Ter was not supported at all as a Pendletonian
but wholly as a firm, energetic, persistent ad-
vocate OF tho equal rights of all the people of
America.
The people forgave Buffers heresy, because
of New Orleans and because of the impeach-
meut trial. They love the man who endeavor-
ed to drag from the White House the Presi.
dent whose minions are killing an average of
Is loyal men daily in the South. They con-
cluded that with the election of Grant, and
with large majority of "hard money" Repub-
licans in Congress they might with safety ex-
| press their gratitude to man who had rem
| dered so valuable services matter of vital
| Importance
So far as the triumph is OF the Radical as dis
tinguished from the Conservative element in
Massachusetts Republicanism we rejoice in it,
This is the construction which must be placed
| upon the events of Tuesday. Gen. Butler has
| never given any explanation of his theory of
the right of the United States to Jay its bonds
in greenbacks which can comment it to the
| judgment of his party, but the people of Mass
| achusetts have concluded to waive that, when
the question is between Butler and Conserv-
alive. Looking at the question in this light,
! their decision was wise.

CLOTHES POLES AND CLoTHEs-LINEs.-The
public are cautioned to keep sharp lookout
for their clotbes-lines about the time when the
clothes-pole peddler comes round
Last Tuesday evening, a fellow about "A
years old, calling himself William Cash, from
Cape Elizabeth, and big enough to get an hon
est living if disposed, called three times within
fifteen minutes at house on Danforth street,
offering clothes poles for sale. Not inclined to
take no for an answer, he continued to provl
around the premises, until one of the hired
girls caught the sneak in the act of attempt
ing to rob the clothes-line. Being invited in,
he excused himself ON the plea of modesty, as
not being presentable in gentlemans house,
out on the urgent invitation of the proprietor
in person, he consented to enter and receive a
gentle admonition and the promise of a prompt
introduction to Judge Kingsbury for the next
offence

Selected by Legislature.

Alabama, Arkansas and Oregon, having 16
electoral votes, are yet in doubt, the probable
ty being that they have all gone Republican.
In any event Grant has 43 more than major
ity of the 100 votes necessary for choice
reckoning the excluded States of Virginia,
Mississippi and Texas. He has certainly car
ried "a and probably q States-three fourths
of the whole. He has popular majority of at
least 100000. twill be seen, therefore, that if
fair fight and a triumphant election can es.
tablish President firmly in his seat Grant
may move into the White Honse on the 4th of
March with all the honors of war.
In this State, the latest returns do not change
the estimates made on the evening of election
The total vote will probably not much exceed
100000; Grants majority 2s,0OO The number
of towns from which we have returns is 1872
In September these towns gave Chamberlain
1888. Pillsbury 26,71S; Republican majority
11,640; now the same towns give Grant "a, $50,
Seymour 1S,649, Republican majority 15,949;
net Republican gain 4,309. These returns EN-.
brace just about half the State, and if the 9TH
er half has done as well, the majority will be
nearly 28,700. A net gain of nearly 5000 in
two months is very well, even for Maine!

on TueSlay, Wednesday and Thursday even
ings of next week, at the City Hall. rue se~~
eral object of this entertainment is to afford
amusement and pleasure to all who may at

ticular object is to aid in erecting a church

said if this Society would obtain a temporary

their small or large amounts to this object
