Democracy Waning!
The Third Party all up

The vote last Monday was light, but
the republican party comes out OF the
contest intact Personal prejudices against
candidates have been indulged in q an
uncommon extent. and we hope full vent
has been given to pent up feelings. 50
that all mslcontenls Will feel relieved snd
&c content with their efforts; and in due
time return 70 the republican fold where
they properly belong.
The returns indicate that ChamSerlain's
majority in the Stale will reach between
seven and eight thousand; Hichborn's to-
tai vote not over 5000; Smiths perhaps
$1,000, and Chamberlain'S probably ~ to
$4,000.
The State Senate will undoubtedly
stand as strongly republican as last year
which is great majority--29 TO ,.
We have not had time to compare fig
urss in our own County. but from a
cursory glance it appears that we stand
comparatively better than most other
Counties. We have elected our Senators
and County officers handsomely. We
have probably gained representative in
the House, from the Hiram district. The
democrats have carried the Dixtield and
Waterford Districts in all probability, rs
last year.
The Lewiston Journal thus alludes to
our delegation:
William W Bolster. Senator elect from
Oxford. is an able LAWYER. was for many
wears in the Secretary of States office.
and has served rs County Attorney for
Oxford.
Thos. Z. Clesves. also Senator elect, is
quite a young man. He has pructiced
law at Brownfeld for a number of years,
and is we'll known throughout the State
as Secretary of the Senate for several
years past.
The Oxford delegation in the House. of
which we have hut partial returns.
possesses good degree ofability. Alden
Chase of Wood>tocS. has been serv ice in
the House. and was for ten years Register
of Deeds in Oxford County. Israel q.
kimball, of Bethel, hiss been in the House
one or two terms. DIR. Geo Z. Jones OF
Norway, is a young man OF energy, and
will make worthy member, as viii also
Messrs. Moulton Of Porter, Martin of
Rumiord. and Hammond Ot Paris.
Porter Is the banner torn, having made
republican gain er las year, OF ifty-
five, and has a Gle, ticket on Governor.
Dixfeld has done ,il, standing ffteen
better. with cleai ticket. Hiram has
MAKE gain Of ten md has but tir0 scat
teriug votes. The County i complete
with the exception f ten towns and the
plantations TIE ,chbOrn vote wi not
exceed tao hundred and fifty throus lout
the County-oyer me fflh of which is
from one town, Buc field.
The democracy aavc no crumbs OF
comfort 10 CLEAN from the election. The
few republican di,, cts that have ,een
lost, owe 1t not 10 any Of their ef.o Is
the third parry hire aH ne credit O. M.
ocrdtic gains The, have not elccle5 one
of their own candidates. but have Z few
democratic members OF their own.
The returns from Cumberland County
show that Gov. Chamberlain has \
majority over all others Of llO6. The
Republican Senators are elected nv q good
majority. We have lost four Representa-
tives in strong Republican districts, from
causes for which our own party friends
are responsible; and have gained one in
district which Is generally against Us,
The result is gratifying, and indicates
strong and vigorous party, SAYS the Press.
The Democrats had twentv-eigh,
members ef the last House They will
perhaps have five or six more in the next
House. gaining three in Cumberland one
in PenobScot, and few elsewhere, but
losing in York, Washington and other
counties.
The latest returns. upto our going 10
press. indicate that hamberliu's nIsiuri-
" will reach Eiae thousand, and Hich-
born'S vote not rNceed forty five hundred.
This is llw,r than We set them.
The democracy had better hurry up the
combination SCI cane. OF they will soon
have 10 capital 10 trade on.
