Democratic Gains and Radical Losses
In Maine,

from the boston foet.
IF II was not outright victory for the
Maine Democracy OF Monday, the spirit
OF the fight showed chiefly on their side,
the gains were theirs, and In their hands
remain secure and fast all the incentives
for the future. Radicalism In Maine Ia In
q state Of visible ~decadence, which no
patching. up of incongruous parties, no
trading operations, no bribery, menaces,
or corrupt influences a arrest. In place
of q majority Of 12,000, the Radicals elect
their Governor this year by only four or
five, and this after combining their own
with the prohibition forces. Gen. Rob.
erts, the popular candidate Of the Democ.
racy, carried Bangor, the city Of his resi-
dence, by a majority Of 900, making q gain
over last year Of 1,140. Three Democrat
ic representatives from the same city
show how thoroughly the work was done.
And other towns and cities give results
not less deserving Of praise. The Con-
servatives allied themselves heart and soul
with the aggressive Democracy, and can
not but feel satisfied with their
work. The Democratic represen.
tation in the Legislature Is
much increased, q large gain has been
made for the Democrats on the popular
vote, and the way out of the woods Is at
last become clear. Mr.. Haines was not
elected to Congress In the First District,
but he gave his untiriDg and unscrupu-
lous opponent q close pull at the polls.
The failure TO elect him will not be likely
10 sppease the discontented of those Re.
publicans who are pledged against Lynch
and his influences to the end. His con
tinued success by the means employed 70
secured 1t, will only help to open q wound
which any but the most selfsh manage
| ment would have made haste to heal. The
District, like the State, has been shaken TO
ITS centre, and another such victory seals
the fate oil Radicaiism in Maine. In fact,
| the present result Ia but preliminary TO Its
dissolution. II dared not face the real
Issues before the country, but played with
prohibition ON one side and operated
through ring politicians on the other. II
was but q selfish contest or It's part fol
the retention Of power, but the people
have virtually pronounced Its con-
domination. The great tidal wave
of reform has at last swept
over the farthest eastern State Of the
Union. The example OF the other States
struggling To break the letters Of Radica
tyranny, Is not without its Effect In Maine
The large and important Democratic gain
aie . promise Of q coming change in thu
politics Of the State. Let the Democracy
hold fast the ground they have made, con
tinue c~onciliatory yet firm, manifest thu
same bbcrslity Of conduct as now, b
prompt 10 seize and improve all fair op
portuniiies, nominate only the stronges
and most worthy candidates for Office
maintain their active, living organization
in all its vigor, and employ this result q
but the preliminary TO what Is 70 CONT
beginning their future work now, on Tn
basis Of this most encouraging yote--an
! they have excellent reason 70 hope 10

Who is to Make Money by III

A Committee Of the Senate have invest.
gated the circumstances attending the ncgo.
.ation Of the st. Domingo treaty, AMI have
made upon the subject two of the most utter.
ssting reports that have ever been laid before
any legislative body. There is, however one
point that they have not fully explored, and
in regard to which the evidence Is accessible.
Ii is possible to prove that one OF the mil.
itmy secretaries of the President stated
without reserve, at the timo that Gen BAB-
rocK was first cent down TO St. Domingo,
hat President GRANT had put BNBCocK into
a iirst-rate thing. He said that his friend
BABCocK would certainly make not less than
100000 upon the conclusion Of the treaty
II lie s$~ possible to provo that after Gen.
BhBoo CK had ISturned from st. Domingo, the
same fellow stcre.sry OF lis said in the same
manner that BADcoCK had now got it all
fixed SO that he was sure TO make at least
quarter Of million Of dollars, which would
nut him beyond want for the rest of his life.
Wherever either House Of Congress dc.
sires the evidence upon this point, We will
undertake that it shall be forthcoming.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1870-06-29

IF the Improved inns means to deserve
the epithet we have of late go cheerfully be-
slowed upon il, it must give up its pettifog-
ging defence of President GRANT for his
connection with the infamous St. Domingo
job.
In -ho protocol OF Sept. 4, 1sC9, executed
BY Gen. BAB,ocK and President BNEz. II is
expressly stipulated that President GTAST
shall use all Ills influence to render tho an.
ncxotion Of ST. Domingo POPULAR among
members Of Congress, and TO make no com.
munication to Congress on the sui ject unit!
lie shall be certain that it will be approved
ly majority. IL is further expressly stpu.
lated that if the bases OF the protocol shall
not BE- carried into efiec,, they shall through
cut all time preserve Their character Of in.
violablc secrecy. We have thus President
of the United States not only negotiating
secret treaty with foreign power. but un.
dcrtgkIng to secure It's ratification by Con
eress Sv lns influence" or, in other words.
by his patronage and power Of corruption
Now the Inprored Times tries to open
loophola of escape for the President, BY
contcnding that he did not know the con-
tents Of This protocol and never officially
sanctioned it. What of that? Gen. BABcoCK
signed it, and Gen. BAHCoCK was Il special
Gseut Gent by the President for the express
purpose of max ne the bargain, and was
commended by him 10 BAEz with entire
confidence in His integrity and INTEL Gercc."
The signature OF BNBCoCK was the signature
OF GRANT, and has all along been recognized
as such. The protocol Las been accepted
and acted upon, and it is too late to say that
the President Is not responsible for IL.
Had he been ms displcascd with its
contents as the Times would have US believe,
lie should have promptly said 50, and proved
his sincerity by Diminishing HANCOCK. On
the contrary, he did nothing of the kind.
The negotiations went on, with R>ssoCK
retained as the Presidents confidential agent
aud the sui sequent departure from the
original terms agreed on-which took place
after Congress and the press had condemned
the manufacturers Of tho trcety-docs not in
the least show that President GRANT had not
at first agreed to the atrocious and criminal
conditions of tho protocol.

In another column we publish very in
tcreeting letter addressed to us by " Various
Dcmincans" on the majority report Of the
Committee of the United States Senate on
the HATCH question. The writer's are evil
IDENTIFY well informed touching all the details
of the affair.
This country was Convinced long ago that
the whole st. Domingo annexation scheme
was a swindle, into which weak aSd lazy
President had been drugged by set Of old
and INSCRIPTIONS adventures. Many wonder.
al at the time-now some Elk weeks ego
that man Of the Presidents lcthnrgic ma
ture should so far arouse himself on appa-
rcntly so trivial n matter as personally to
degrade his Office by lobbying for the ratif-
cation of the treaty. The details, however,
which the Investigating Committee Of the
Senate havo brought to light fully explain
the deep interest the President has taken in
the prompt disposal of the matter.
The present opinicn of the whole commu-
nifty on the matter is, thai the investigation
has gone too far and not far enough. For
the sake of our national reputation, the mis-.
dcmoanor imputed TO Gen GRANT should be
eiltctually wiped away.

The unlucky President is thus seen 10 be
