The Victory in DaaiE1e,
COMMENTS OF THE PRESS.
Boston Advertiserl
The first returns from Maine show a
Republican triumph surprising the most
confident predictions The Republicans
have improved upon their canvass, elect
ing their State ticket, all their congress-
men, and the two branches Of the State
legislature, by majOritics which nobody
counted upon. This is an uprising worth
celebrating; it is the first real verdict
for the administration it is a verdict
purely upon national issues; and given
after the most spirited canvass ever I'M
dertaken even in that spirited Common
wealth.
boston Journal
In short, Maine sounds the knclI of
Greelcyism. A fair fight has been made
there, with a mutual consciousness of
the importance of the verdict on the ma
tional contest, and hccnomy are routed,
horse, foot and dragons. There can be
only one Interpretation to this handwrit-
inc on the wall, and the quaking knees
and panic-strickcn hearts of the cOali-
tionists show that they have taken it
home. All honor to the Republicans of
Maine for this timely, decisive victory.
New York Tribune .Greclcy)]
The lesson, then, of the Maine cleo
ton is plain: 1t reveals a percentage of
change, which, with proper organiza-
ton and work. gives US PENNSYLVANIA
and Indiana in October. After these,
the battle wins itself.

If the Republican losses throughout
the country in November shall equal
those in Maine in this September, Mr.
Greeley will be triumphantly elected.
Boston Herald .Democraticl
The Republican majority yesterday,
though greater than last years, it will
be seen does not approach these figures,
Chose Of 1869 in spite of the unparal-
lcled expenditure of money and the skill
full and energetic measures adopted by
the Republicans, who are led by some
of the abest election managers in the
country. On such a result there is little
ground for Encouragement to the Lib
eral leaders.
Worcester Spy.l
The result, like that in Vermont, is
not cheering to the Democratic Greeley
coalition. The expectation of its sup
pOrters has not been realized. Their
views grew more and more moderate. as
the canvass advanced, until they finally
pY0t6ssed to expect no more than q re-
ducti0n Of the Republican majority to
about 5000. All these expectations
have come to naught.
New York Herald.1
The State has declared for the Re
publican candidates by one of its ac-
custOmcd maiOrities. and has united
with Vermont in tcstifvinr that the
Liberal secession from the Republican
ranks has not affected the strength of
the party in the New England States in
any perceptiblc degree. The
verdict is the more significant since the
case was argued with considerable force
and parnostncss bv the counsel for the
| LOSING side. and lively homes were cy-
cited of 2 more favorable finding. Adj
ded to the unoucsti0nabIe depression re-
Gently evident in the Liberal cause and
to the apparent lul1ewarmness of the
| Democracy in the campaign, this new
triumph of the administration cannot
fail to exercise considerable effect upon
the more important trials about to take
place in Indiana, Pennsylvania and other
States 1t will not do for the
Liberals, now that they have failed IN
| two out OF three OF these cases, to put
in the plea that they are, after all, of no
| consequence and can have no effect one
way or the other on the Presidential
| question.
