A Straight-Out,s Figures.

There has been desperate effort on
the part of the Liberals to figure out a
hopeful state of affairs from the figures
furnished by the recent election in
Maine. How near the truth they are
may be seen by the following from the
Chicago Times:
''The Maine election returns are near
ly all in. The total vote is not far
from 127 1866, Of which Perham, Radi-
cal, receives 72, ,224, and Kimball, crow
eater, IS, ,142: majority for Perham, IT,
082. In 1868 -the year which the
Chappaquacks chose for purposes of
comparisOn-theR Radical majority was
19, 9,3l6, In q total vote of 13l 200. The
Radical vote in 1868 was 81 .S3 per cent.
of the total. This year it is 1911 per
cent. of the total. The Radical loss,
therefore, is but little more than six
tenths of one per cent. of the total
Mr.. Grant can lose as heavily in PENN
sylvania, Ohio and Indiana, and still
carry those states by "a 900, 81, 900, and
1000, respectively.
"But this does not tell the whole
story. The Radicals have carried
Maine by about LOCO more on the Con-
gressional than ON the gubernatOrial
vote, Perham having rendered himself
somewhat unpopular by favoring the
proposal to include cider among the
prohibited beverages. The Radicals
received 57.40 per cent. of the total
Congressional vote, or rather more than
they received in 1868. The Chappa-
quacks find little comfort in percent
age.
s'But what Is still more strongly in
-dicative Of the popular tendency Is
this: The average Radical majority in
Maine for three years preceding the
State election of 1868 was 20,617. The
majority in September of that year was
1856, or 1901 Tess than the average for
the three previous years. The average
majority for the past three years has
been I0,424. The majority for Perham
this year is 1852, or 6,65S more than
the average for the past three years.
These figures indicate, in the first
place, popular movement atcuy from
Radicalism after Grants election in
1868; and in the second place, move.I
ment back again to1cdrd Radicalism
since the beginning of the present dis
graceful and demoralizing scramble for
the spoils. There is no mistake in the
fact, the popular movement is always
away from Chappaquackery; and that
nothing is surer that it will gather mo-
memtum as it progresses. That Greeley
wave is sweeping the philosopher out
to sea, aud'is sure to land him in No
vember on the desert island to which
many an aspiring but unprineipled pol

Col. w. C. Oates, of Alabama, having
been called on by the Democrats Of his
District to announce himself as q candi-
date for Congress, declines, and says:
From the position in which the Ba1ti-
more Convention has placed the party,
it seems to me that wise policy would
dictate an invitation to the Liberal Re-
publicans to unite with us in the Dis
trict Convention and in making nOmi-
nations. Tt is now too late to determine
whether the Baltimore Convention ac-
ted wisely or unwisely. That is not now
q debatable question with me. | would
greatly have preferred some other man
to Mr.. Greeley, but I acquiesce in the
action of the majority and will do all in
my power for the success of the ticket.
The choice is between Grant and Gree
ley. One is Il Liberal, the other y Radi-
CO.. The difference between their re-
spective platforms, upon which these
candidates stand, is still more marked.
One is Conservative, the other Radical.
We should not divide 0urf0Pces. The
Democracy divided is impotent for
good. United, It's powerful hand may
years, perhaps for generations to come.
Aganfemnon, after the withdrawal of
Achilles, could not maintain the seige
of Troy, but reunited Troy fell, Grecian
fame was perpetuated, and Wreaths of
glory crowned her triumphs. s
The Democrats IN this district are in
the minority. IL we nominate a Demo-
crat without the aid of the Liberals we
can't elect him. If we can affiliate with
Liberal Republicans in the election of a
President, why not i'll the nomination
and election of a Congressman? [ can
see no difference in principle, and in no
other way can we concentrate all the
conservative elements upon the nOmi-
nation of the Convention. If we expect
the Liberals to vote with us, Which they
should do, it is but reasonable that they
should have a voice in common with De-
moeFats in the nomination. of a candi-
date. They have a choice even among
Democrats. My solemn conviction, af-
ter full deliberatiOn, is that about the
best thing such a convention could do
when assembled, would be to nominate
for Congress the ahlest, best, and
most liberal Greeley Republican in the
district. Had you not rather have such
a man for your representative in Con-
gress than a carpet-lpagger or a Grant

Liberalism Inn the Parish of Vera
million. = - :

A correspondent of the New Orleans
Times, writing from Abbeville, under
date of July 22d, says:
] write to inform your numerous read
ers of the rapid growth and success of
the Liberal party in the good Demo
cratic parish of VermilliOn. The move
ment IN this parish has absorbed the
entire Democratic party as well as Re
formers and Liberal Republicans,
On last Saturday both the Democratic
and Liberal parties held mass meetings
in this place, and it was the largest DO
litical catherine of hecitizens witnessed
here for seyeraa years.
The Democratic mass meeting or
ganized, and after ratifying the nomi-
nation of Greeley and Brown in a most
enthusiastic manner, the meeting adj
jouTned, refusing to take any action on
the so-ealled united State ticket presen-
ted by the Democratic and Reform COM
mittees, although an effort was made to
obtain its endorsement.
On the adjournment of the meeting
the Liberal Convention was Immediate
" called to order, and the whole Demo
cratic party of this parish went over in
a body to the Liberal cause, and after
listening to several addresses, nomina-
ted delegates to the general convention,
to convene in New Orleans on the 9Th
of August.
The entire people Of this parish are in
full accord with the Liberia movement,
and should the August convention nom
mate a ticket commanding the conf
dence of the people, it will receive a
unanimous support in this parish.
