TEE MAINE ELECTION,

The figures from Maine, says the Richmond
Dispatch, show heavy and, to the Grant
Republicans, most alarming gain for the
Liberals, sufficient to carry the Greeley ticket
in the November election The warmest
Grant organ, the New York Times. only
claims the State by 10000. Now let us
look at the figures of 1868, for chat is the
only test by which we can compare the vote
of last Monday. In 1868 the vote stood -
Republican, rs, 1874; Democratic. SIS Aba
Republican majority of 2O.4O3 The vote of
last Monday, like that of 1868. was very
full one, and in 245 towns which last wear
gave 81 1874, the vote is now 97.451. The
majority of 16 900 is falling of 1000 on the
election of 1868. A gain like this in every
doubtful State in the Union would insure The
election OF the Liberal ticket in November

THE GRAND RATIFICATION IN
NEW YORK,
The Revolution Irresistible.

= Z - 81 -.
New York is the great center of great
movements. When she speaks the whole con-
tinent distinctly hears the thunder-uote.-
Entire miles Of people gathered together on
last Thursday evening in the Metropolis of the
Republic, and Grand Ratification Greeley
meeting, such as even New York herself
scarcely ever saw the like of before, was con-
vened. Statesmen of national character, ora.
tors whose clarion tones have inspired twenty
civic battle-lines, Herman running for New
York's Governorship, R. NJ. T. Hunter, N.
P. Banks, Daniel B. Lucas, (our own fellow
citizen and ueighbor,) Sunset Cox, Chancey
AZ Depew, and whole legion of other elo>
quent representative Democrats and Greeley
Republicans lifted up their voices in defence
of the right, and sent the great wave of POI
litical revolution onward and forward with new
momentum. We have no space this week for
afull account of this great meeting-the geat-
est by all odds aud in every sense which has
taken place in she United States since the
war.
The New York Herald of the 18th inst.
in describing the meeting and reporting the
speeches, thus speaks of the eloquent speech
of Daniel b. Lucas, Esq, made st the grand
central platform of the evening, viz: that in
Tammany Hall. We are pleased to see by
the Heralds report that III. Lucas thus APP
peared among the leviathans of the great
ocean of popular reform and peace, which was
reflected back from the multitudious faces
which gathered together and blazed and shone
in old Union Square and its vicinity. Of
Nr Lucas speech the Herald says:
Mr. Lucas. of West Virginia, next followed in a
brief but stirring speech, which he pledged the
meeting that West Virginia. out of a voting popu-
iation Of 60 900, would give Greeley and Brown a
majority of 900, to meet the promised majority

Our Candidate for Congress,

The Second District Congressional Conyen.
ton, which met at Grafton on Thursday last,
the 9th inst, nominated on the seventh ballot
b. f. Martin, Esq, of Prup,ytown, TAYLOR
county, as the Democratic candidate for Rem
reseptative in Congress Although our un-
disguised preference was for Major Dowpey.
we cheerfuIy acquiesce in the choice of the
majority of the Convention, and, rejoicing
that the selection has been so worthily and
wisely made, will labor diligently to secure
the election of the nominee by q handsome
Democratic majority.
MIR. Martin is a through going Democrat
OF long and excellent standing; a gentleman
OF fine abilities and earnest political convic-
t'ons; keeps pace with the progressive Dem
ocratio sentiment Of the day, aud to the JEFF
fersonian requisites of capacity and integrity
adds pleasing presence and agreeable man,
ner, which will greatly augment his power
and influence in securing legislative and other
benefits for his constituents. We believe
that, in view of the general satisfaction with
MIR. Martins nomination, Mr. Boteler will
retire from his independent candidacy but in
any event, We have no doubt of the success
of the regular nominee.
