Democratic editors and orators in Maine
and correspondents of Democratic journals
outside the State are devoting themselves of
late chiefly to insisting that Republican ma
jority of $1,000 may be called ''Liberar'
victory. Why, bless us, it is only three or
fonr weeks since these gentry were proclaim
ing that they would carry the State and the
liberal Kimball devoted eight pages of foolscap
paper to the task of telling the Greeley COM
mittee of New York that he should be elected
Governor and explaining about the great pop
ular uprising in his favor. What has oc-
Cured to so essentially their patriotic
ardor? Can it be possible that the great up
rising of the people, so much talked of, is on
the other side? Really from the present at
titude of these people it looks very mu h as if
they thought SO. @ s" p. a.. -..'ie- 'ie'l
But after all we can't let you break your
fall in this way. The Springfield Republican
(Greeley) makes very fair statement of the
case that 10000 majority will be decided
Republican victory" and will prove that the
"liberaf' Republicans bring no capital into
this delectable partnership which claimed SO
confidently that it could ''carry Maine"
This marked change of tone is very signifi-

THIS years campaign literature affords
nothing more delightsome than the Bangor
Commercials studied attempt to assail the
character and honesty of Gov Perham.
This it does with many an "Ah" and show
er OF "Oh's" Indeed the expletives are so re-
dundant that one can pick out of tine result
ing wide watery waste of words nothing more
tangible than an occasional reference to ''the
cider law" This "eider law has become
the law and the prophets to the Democratic
editors. though no one e.se thinks or says
much about it except the farmers who are en-
abled by reason of its provisions to double
their usual profits from the sale of cider.
We never remember to have seen SO great a
compliment to public man as is embraced
in this deliberate attack which can find moth
ing more atrocious in the career of its in
tended victim than his neglect to veto the
cider law! Like Tennyson's 'blameless king''
Gov. Perham stands unscathed under the as
saults of reckless .landerers to whom mot
