Early IA September Maine ho,Gs her an

terms, and the nominee for Governor
pledged the entire Congressional drlcnu-
'ion Of the state to vote tor the repeal Of
the law of the last session.

like manner. 1t is TO enable honest Repub-
licans and Democrats to do tins, If they
are SO inclined, that we call the offenders

As times go, Maine presents record
which contrasts favorably with the other
New England States Senator HAMLIN

having spoken of Senator MORRILL, as a
candidate for the Chief Justiccship, he

Territory regarding disturbances All. ~ tDe
Cherokees arc not 70 be received with implicit
faith. There has undoubtedly been some trou-
ble there, but It Is very evident that there Is a
disposition to eXhggeTate the difficulties which
have occurred. Congress having voted away TO
land monopulsts about all the public lands in
the United states that are worth having, a des-
perate attempt is now making To rob the friendly
tribes in the Indian Territory Of their lands for
the benefit of spectators under the pretcnce Of
establishing Terrt rial form If government
over them. The scheme has been repeatedly
defeated IN Congress, but there are Indications
that II will be urged with unusual yIgor At the
next session, and that it will have the active
support OF tie Administration, which Is the
humble servant of wealthy corporations. Any
disturbance which may occur within the limits
OF tho Territory in the mean time will doubtle,s
be magnlhed as much as possible in order to
create the Impression that the Indians are lfer-
lng for want OF different form of government.

about railroad tariffs he is entirely
uDmindful # the fate of Ananias.
We have before US every speech

terse and to the point their reasons

whole issue entirely upon the ground

THE SITUATION REVIEWED.

On the 18th of August a conven-
ton met at Des Moines composed of
delegates from less than ne-third of
the counties in the State. 1t claim ed +,
through its managers, to represent
the elements of opposition to the
Republican party. The chief leaders
were Irish and Grinnell. The form
er, as chairman of the Democratic
State Central Committee, declared
his party to be 'hOpelessly bankrupt
He asserted, further, that both politi-
cal parties had outlived their useful
ness. Grinnell, OF course, assented
to the truth of what his political co.
partner, Irish, had said. Whether
or not Mr.. Grinnell thought that the
Republican party had really outiived
its usefulness, he well knew that it
was practically useless in aiding his
vaulting ambition. There was con-
sequently, no conflict of authority
between the two spectators in polit.
ical stock jobbery.
The compact between the rem.
nants of the utterly defeated democ-
racy and the powerless Liberals was
thus quickly made. There was not
sufficient prospect of success to
make it an object with the factious
elements of the opposition to dis
cuss or dispute on any minor points
of difference. All that there is of
good in the "Anti-Monopoly" reso.
lutions was taken ("stolen" might be
better word) from the Republican
platform. The discussion of the
Tariff and of Congressional and
Legislative action to regulate mo-
nopolies is mere chaff and NAV mean
something or nothing, according to
circumstances. The obvious mean
ing of the resolution regarding Leg
islative action is a renewal of the
Democratic dogma of State rights,
but it would be more sharply worded
if the party had any prospect of
success.
AS to the tariff question, it is well
known that the Democrats in Penn.
sylvania and some other states are
protectionists. Not q few of the
democratic organs are conducted 80
as to favor the interests of great
railroad monopolists, like Scott, Van
derbllt, and Jay Gould. Hence the
conservative and cireumspect FORE
| sight displayed in the conventions
since the party ceased to be q power
in the land.
The farmers movement, as mis-
represented by the sAnti, Monopoly
party, was incidentally one cause Of
the financial panic. Eastern capi.
talists, always timid about making
ventures in Western enterprises, be.
came more and more difficult 10
negotiate loans, brokers were em,
barrassed, and the failures that have
SO shaken finances ensued. But this
kind of stock-gambling carried on
by Jay Cooke & Co., aud others,
must have eventually led to bank.
