Maine has voted!
pINNA We HEAR THE SLOGAN


Maine, following the lead Of Vermont, has
made the loyal heart of the nation pulsate
with emotions of joy, by nearly doubling
her heretofore Republican majority. The
Democrats, knowing well the prestige ola
success in Maine, and feeling equally the
disaster of Republican triumph used eve
ry means to influence the election in their
favor. Vallandingham and other speakers
were imported and thoroughly canvassed
the state from north to south, from east
to west. The Democratic papers prophe-
sled that the Republican majority of
1900 last year, would be materially de-
creased, that the reaction had actually set
in. But how is it? The gallant sons of
the Pine Tree State, roll up Republican
majority of over 10000, carrying every
county, and electing every candidate
In three weeks Ohio, Indiana and Penn
sylvania will pronounce in favor of peace,
which will be only another toll of the bell
which is most surely ringing the death
knell Of the great rebel reputation party.

Appalling Calamity

Our daily exchanges contain the par
ticulars of the most calamitous earthquake
Of the age. 1t occurred OH the coast of
Peru and Ecuador, from the 14th to 10th
of August; extending 100 miles inland,
and accompanied with a tidal wave over
forty feet high, which threw large vessels
miles on shore, dashing them to pieces.
The loss Of life is enormous, variously es-
timated at from $4,000 to 10000 human
beings. The destruction of property will
reach hundreds of millions of dollars
Whole cities were destroyed, those of the
Inhabitants who were not killed being left
homeless and destitute. The destruction
of American shipping was very great, one
vessel, the Fredonia, with 81, 100000 worth
of naval stores on board, was destroyed
The account of the disaster is very long,
and cannot be Accommodated in our limit
ed space. 1t is, without exception, the
most extensive earthquake the world has
ever been visited with e.3 ''a

that the opposition in the Senate TO the
