TIE RESULT IN MAINE.
What the GRANTEES Have Really Ac.
complished and How 1t Was Done,
From the New York Tribune ]

We Judge that Maine has given the Grant
ticket a majority of not quite sixteen thousand.
In 1868, at the corresponding election, 1t gave
that ticket 2o,4O3 majority, on a full vote OF
l5l,265. Five dollars have been spent by the
,irant managers for every one they spent In
1863, and lilly for every one spent by the Libe-
rals. Tne resources OF q treasury filled by
taxing every civil official, at home and abroad,

with q proscrlptive pressure never euuailed,

Of the difficulties and dIs%couragements
under which this result was attained we do
not now need to speak. The Cincinnati

not begin In populations like that of Maine,
1t has been an absurd saying, plaglarized
from the old one about the Keystone State,
that as Maine gees go goes the Union. But
The Union did not 60 as Maine did In 1856,
any more than in l848. In fact, 1t has often
been q follower, not a leader of political
%change-a measure Of the current, not O
means Of starting It. Let us use 1t as q mea-
sure:
We may estimate the change on the vote OF
Maine, wrought by the Liberal Republican
movement, at about five per cent. We may
be certain that in no other part of the Union
will the change be less-in few 80 small.
Well, Eve per sent. on the last Presidential

ana, Connecticut, California and Alabama,

people were the dominant party in South

points of his harangue. After him came Max

Whiitemore.. Whittemore said he hoped and
believed Moses would clear himself OF all the
charges brought against him, but until 1t was
done he would not vote for him He support

some of Moses's traits. He was e man OF bril-
liant talents and eminently fitted in many re-
spects for the Office he was about to fill. Moses
did not speak. he was Ill the whole DAY. He
