CONGRATULATIONS.

The republicans of Maine are congratus-
ted by every republican in the country on the
splendid victory of Monday, and they have
reason to be especially proud of so grand a
triumph, to which all have contributed so
much. 1t has been many times remarked
that there never was a campaign in which the
rank and file of the party responded so will
lingly to the calls Of committees for work.
State, district, county, and town commit
tees have labored to bring about this result
over which the republican party of the whole
nation rejoices. We know we speak for the
republican party of the country when we most
heartily thank the entire organization for their
tireess and efficient efforts. More than any
one man or score of men, Speaker Blaine
Chairman of the State Committee, has con-
tributed to the gratifying result of Monday.
For two months, day and night, he has given
his tireless efforts to the organization of vic
tory. His efforts have not been confined to
any single section, or to the interests of any
one candidate, but to the success of all. His
associates have efficiently seconded the efforts
of the chairman in their respective counties.
The republican press of the State, it is gen.
orally admitted, was never so efficiently en-
ployed as during the present campaign. The
aggregate circulation of republican papers
published in the State never was nearly as
large as at the present time, while thousands
of campaigners have been sent out For onr
brethren whose work attracts so little atten-
ton and receives so little commentator, we
claim no small amount of the credit for last
Mondays magnificent success.

SPEAKER BLAINE.

II the outrageous abuse which the Coali-
ton organs and speakers have visited upon
Hon. James G. Blaine were not of itself a
sufficient compliment to his effective services,
the record of the latter go plainly read in the
glorious triumph in Maine would make his
vindicaton complete. For fourteen years
Mr.. Blaine has been Chairman of the Repub.
lican State Committee Of Maine, and in that
capacity has directed some of the most fierce
ly fought and influential campaigns that ever
passed from State to national Importance.
When it is remembered that Maine is not a
compact little State, like the other New Eng
land States, but comprises an immense ter
ritory, with many sections still having but
primitive means of communication, and that
Mr.. Blaine has all the while been actively
engaged on the stump, we get some idea of
those labors which have had so splendid q re-
suit, and by consequence, have so concentra-
ted the detraction of the enemies of our cause.
The republican party of the Union fully ap-
preciate his labors in the good cuase.

HOW THEY RECEIVEIT.

The coalition papers all say that they are
very much encouraged by the result of the
Maine election, but we never knew encour-
agement to be SO lugubriously expressed be.
fore. And then:the ingenuity they evince in
showing why they are SO happy, as if their
sincerity might be suspected by somebody /!
One paper reckons the Administration infiu.
ence as equal to 5000 votes, which reduces
the majority in Maine to six or seven thou
sand-just what that paper had predicted.
So that settles that. Another accounts for
the result by the superabundance of money
on the Republican side-which may be called
the beaten sides perennial excuse. 1t is al
ways good when there is nothing else to b
said. The same paper-Greeley's own organ
by-the-way-speaks of Mr.. Hale's "squeezin
through over Pike" If a majority of 200
constitutes a squeeze, what would this paper
idea be of a comfortable triumph? 1t is evi
dent, however, that these seekers of consola
ton under difficulties should not be held I
too strict a responsibility for their expression
just at this time. Being fiat on their back
they have to convince people that they ar,
gloriously having everything their own way
and that, surely, is a job not to be sneeze,

annual pilgrimage to worship at the shrine OF

Of song that was sung in by-gone days, but
has now gone out of fashion with the bonnets,
ribbons and other millinery of the past age
The skies were bright, the roads newly
sprinkled by recent rains, and all nature
seemed to have put on her greenest, lovelies,
garb. To witness the foliage and verdure OF
June in the middle of Septe mber, is novel as
well as charming and delightful. But for an
occasional exception to the almost universal
greenness of the landscape, single bough
or here and there few leaves tinged with
autumn hues, to remind one of the fading
year, one might imagine we were still in
the heart of the yernal summer. But the
bountiful harvests othay and grain have been
gathered in, the corn fields are fast ripeninp

digging over potatoe fields, and the season is

1t was a beautiful ride through Manchester
Winthrop, Wayne and Liyermore to thi
place. One never tires of the smooth bu
winding roads amongst the hills and valley
of this region, variegated by fields and for
ests, pastures of sleek cattle and sheep, nea
and handsome farm buildings, and all the pic
turesque features Of rich and prosperou
country. The frequent lakes and ponds whicI
vary the scenery of the western part of Ken

CTpHERING OUT.

The democratic papers are industriously
irving to cipher themselves out from under
.ha avalanche of republican votes that
came down upon them on Monday. Some
Of them are so desperate as to publish
bocns election returns. manufactured to
order in their own offices. Others go back
several years in their political arithmetic.
searching for an election in which the ma
iority was more untavorable than the pres
eut, and endeavor to extract from the
comparison drop of the balm of con-
ISOLATION.
Since the election is over and the battle
has gone against the Greeleyites there can
be no objection to their ciphering as much
as they please 1t is an innocent employ
ment, and If they find comfort in it after
their great calamity let them practice it.
Good managers usually do their figuring
before election, not afterwards. The men
in any business enterprises or political
movements who are oftenest beaten and
unsuccessful are usually those who have a
great facility in making apologies for de-
feat and demonstrating by figures how they
might have succeeded or how they are 60
ing to succeed next time. The democrats
of Maine have INDUCED so many years in
the pastime Of digging out by mathematics
through the heavy majorities rolled upon
them yearly that the republicans are accus-
toned to it and enjoy greatly the sport of
watching them. Itheightens the pleasure
of victory. 1t sends a broad smile all
over the State to notice the brave struggle
which our foes make with the figures. If
they were placid, resigned, satisfied to let
the result stand and speak for itself with
out any of those wonderful combinations
Of figures and far fetched explanations and
comparisons. we should feel robbed of
half the satisfaction of our victory. 1t is
because we have won great victory that
they parade their figures. 1t is because
they cannot meet the actual figures they
struggle to present deceptive ones.
We are satisfied with the result. We
have the Governor, every member of Con-
gress, four-ffths of the House, the whole
Senate, every county officer that was voted
for upon our ticket, a popular majority of
1880, a gain of about G,000 over last
year, and compact well organized party
that will do better in November for Grant
than it has done in September. This is
the plain arithmetic in the case. All re-
publicans understand it, and so for that
matter do the most of democrats outside
of the newspaper offices. If this elabor-
ate ciphering could restore the money
lost in bets by democrats. Or seat them in
the Offices they were candidates for, there
would be some practical value in it to
them; but we never knew the instance
where any Of this sort of fine figuring re.
stored beaten candidate, or reimbursed
losing better, or amounted to anything
more than to deceive foolish democrats and
lead them deeper and deeper in the mirt
of delusion in which they choose to wan.

POLITICAL.
The democrats will probably have large
majority in the next legislature of Tex
as, and they threatened to impeach Govern
or Z. J. Davis.
General Hawley is spoken Of as probable
candidate for the vacancy in the Connecticut
Congressional delegation occasioned by the
death of Mr.. Strong.
Greeley hats are at discount. The hat
dealers are anxious to reduce their stock, but
find no purchasers.
The New Bedford Mercury thinks al. G..
is suffering very much from an attack of chill
Blaines.'
The Brooklyn Argus, leading democratic
paper does not like the ticket set up for it in
New York. Ii criticises Mr.. Depew severe
ly, and says that Mr. Herman is still more OBJ
jectionable. Mr.. Cox is the only man whom
it favors.
The straight-out democrats of Pennsylvania
are preparing to make their influence felt in
the State election. Buckalew, the democrat
ic candidate for Governor, is to be question
ed, and to be discarded if he favors Greeley
ism.
Thomas II. Pendon, the Greeley candidate
for Governor of Alabama, was member of
the Secession Convention of that State, and
is said to have introduced a measure in that
Convention to deprive all foreigners of the
rights of citizenship in Alabama.
The Springfield republican, in view of the
Maine election, admits that it is evident that
the tide of public feeling is now setting
against the liberal candidates, and that their
chances of success will depend upon the in
PRODUCTION of some new element into the
campaign, or upon some turn of affairs which
shall do as much for them as the last five
weeks have done for their opponents.
Mr.. Daniel W Gooch is said to be the
most prominent republican candidate for Con-
gress in the 9TH Massachusetts, district (the
old Gth), now represented by General Banks.
The democrats and ''liberals' will probably
nominate General Banks, and lively can

reports the republican interest as unbroken,
and in the northern and central counties as
largely increasing. There is no danger OF
the State, which will give a majority equal 10
that of 1868. The German vote will be al
most solid against Greeley. Lieut.. Gov.
Meuller is doing excellent work in harmonic
ing his compatriots.
Mr.. Greeley, when he went to Hudson,
soon after his nomination, to fill a lecture
appointment, apologzed for appearing in
public at all; and declared that it was his
intention to make no more speeches. Since
that time he has "swung around the circle" of
Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Massa-
chusetts and Connecticut and it is announced
that he will stump Ohio, Indiana, Illinois
and Michigan during the present month.

THE MAINE ELECTION.

Inc M ine election, in its general and
specinc results, proves that the liberal repub-
licans, as reinforcements to the democratic
party, are an unknown quantity in Maine
which signines nothing, and, coupled with the
verdict Of Vermont, the judgment of Maine
means that in New England the lines of the
administration party remain unbroken. In
October, from Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana,
Nebraska and Iowa, we shall hear something
in the way of election returns which. taker
altogether, will pretty clearly foreshadow til,
issue of the great national field day between
