In every congressional district the re-
publican candidates were elected by in
creased maiorities. The men who clasped
hands in the johnson alliance were most
signally defeated.
And on the vote for Governor the re-
publican candidate was elected by the I'M
precedented majority of 27,690-the lar
gest majority ever given for any candi-
date for Governor in this State
The unprincipled alliance formed this
year is destined to similar fate. Disap-
pointed, scheming, unhappy men may
clasp hands over projects to obtain office,
but votes carry elections and determine
what principles shall control. The signs
are that the overwhelming defeat of the
democracy in 1866 in Maine will be re-
peated next September. Every republi-
can candidate for Congress will be hand
somely elected, and Governor Perham
Will be returned TO the chair of State by a
majority not second to that Of Chamber
lain in 1866. The Greeley infection takes
only with disappointed ofiice-seekers. The
honest masses are unmoved and will be
heard from in September, giving thei
voice for Perham and Grant and Wilson

DOLLY WARDEN CONCLA We.

DOLLI WARDEN CONCLA T..
The Portland Press gives the following ac
count of the recent Dolly Warden conclave in
that city:
''The gentlemen who met in this city FRI
day night for con sultation, number. as we are
informed by one who was present, about
thirty, some of whom were democrats but
mostly, those who have for the most part,
| acted with the republican party. Mr.. Pike was
the only politician present who has more than
local reputation. He has not been in ac-
cord with the republican party for more than
two years. In 1870 he was one of the num-
Der of gentlemen, who, if Gen. Chamberlain
would have listened to them, would have
started the Liberal democratic party then, and
Mr. Pike very nearly put himself in the field
against Mr.. Hale at that time, only desisting
because he feared defeat. The political his
tory of other gentlemen of the meeting would
probably afford some hints of the cause of
their detection at this time and which may be
given hereafter. Our informant says they
propose to make thorough organization in
the State to help Mr.. Kimball in September.
The leaders in the movement are evidently
trying 10 get up an excitement, but the start
is not SO formidable as that made in 1866 for
Andrew johnson, and for the most part be
ing organized tor the same purpose, will fail
to meet with a more hearty response. Mr..

1866 AND 1872.

The political situation in Maine resem-
bles very closely that OF 1866. In that
year the republicans had the detection oc-
casioned by Andrew johnson to contend
with. Like Greeley Mr.. johnson, endeav-
ored to build a bridge over which unre-
pentant rebels might walk to the White
House. His hand was stretched across
1.-THE bloody chasm of the war;" inviting
the rebels to take seats in Congress, and
threatening the republican party with dis
solution unless my policy" was adopted.
Mr.. Greeley opposed him then but is on
the same track now.
At that time rumors were abundant in
this State. It was confidently predicted
BY the democrats that a great revolution
was impending. There were conclaves
of democrats and disaifected republicans,
plots, marchings to and fro, alliances,
and announcements in big capitals of the
names Of prominent men who had aban-
doned the republican party and enlisted
under the banner of Johnson and the de-
nOCEdGy. Aucic was uioSohe"hp "ooue
taxation. The question Of taxing govern
ment bonds was agitated and advocated
by the democrats. Quite number OF
prominent men who had acted with the
Union party. like Smart of Camden. Cros-
by Of Belfast. Sweat of Portland, were in
the movement, with whom such men as
Lang and Lyford, the leaders of the Gree
ley republicans. are Insignificant in com
parison.
In every congressional district the dem
ocrats and johnson men united on cand-
dates who had record as union men.
All who had been unequivocal democrats
were kept on the back seats, and those
who were republicans or war democrats
were brought to the front. Hands were
clasped over the South and visions Of
''bread and butter" made enthusiastic
workers. The fervor of the johnson poll
cy was greater than anything yet seen or
likely to be seen for Greeley. Office hold
ers were timid and some went over to the
democracy. The democracy were never
in better spirits, never Dragged louder. or
bet higher. What was the result of the
election BY congressional districts il was
as follows:
