We don't like the news from Maine, fol-
these reasons. We do not like it. for all
| last night, and all to-day, in banks, bank
ing houses, and bondholders' houses and
offices, there has been too much levity. We
| see the protected aristocraJ in glee. Bond
holders rub their hands, stop their carriages,
to ask each other -ri-- ..tt. .'f~ = I
"Have you heard from Maine ?"
The speculators who amassed fortunes
overNew York to-day, drinking champagne,
and dancing in glee, shouting the while,
between the popping of corks:
"Have you heard from Maine?" l.ig *
The turnouts OF the bondholders are more
numerous in Central Park to-day than for
months-the gold fish ride there, and nod
to each other. and order their carriages up
drink at the expense OF working men,
sneer at laborers. ask each other:
Have you heard from Maine?" IL -.
Over the prospects of more victories,
eager to tighten the bonds about the muscle
of labor, the exempted, gold clutching bond
holders of the East are in too high glee, and
are shelling out thousands more of dollars
stolen from the people, to be sent to other
States for the enslavement of labor. We
do not like it one bit, for the carriages of
bondholders tell with crushing effect on the
bare toes of the children of the working
men, who are mortgaged to support the
children of the aristocratsl
Tipsy bondholders, last night drunk
with wine and flush over the news, en-
braced each other in the corridors of lead
ing hotels, whirl and twirled and held
aloft their reports from Maine, and drank
more wine and snatched at each others dia-
mond pins and waltzed about the floors,
hiccupping: "Hic-h'ic-ave you hic'eard
from Maine ?" -.-.. sft q.
At the Fifth Avenue Hotel last night,one
drunken bondholder, whose income is
seventy thousand year in gold, and who
pays no taxes, was talking to circle of
Mainites thus:
81 saw, have heard f'om 'ain,e2 Cd
d-n it, money is what wins. If we SOW
money we reap bonds. 'Rah fom 'aine I"
And now les go for them Western sons Of
toll, we presume he might have said, but
'stoil" was not the word used:
Indeed, we do not IKE the news from
Maine. But it neither scares, disheartens,
nor surprises us. We expected New Eng
land to unite against the West; the South.
We looked for results to follow the expen-
diture of three hundred thousand dollars
in that State by Republicans, much as they
have. We know the aim is to consolidate
New England; for her to join hands with
the negroesand carpet baggers OF the South,
and to control affairs to the last hour OF
her destiny. We know the Republican VIC
tories mean gold tor the rich, rags and la
Dor for the poor, exemption from taxation
