The result in Maine has been reached
by iair and open canvass on the part o.
the Republicans There has been very
little money used. hardly enough being
raised 10 meet the niece sSary expenses Ol
the canvass. Our principles have been
entrusted 10 the chances OF frank discus

quiet and .-sy s;ema,ic." which being
interpreted simply means that grea
deal of Mr.. TIden's mcaey has beer
sent into the State, and that peculiarly
"unscrupuous system Of tactics ha:
been pursued. Whatever Tie use o.
money in skilled hands could DO for ;

Democrats in the hope @! breaking
the Republican majority and giving
new impulse % The ;. ackeniug eaergles
OF their party IN Indiana. In this scheme
they have been grieyously disappointed
They expected to keep the Republicans
below 10000, and they were betting two

terday. that they would wrest at leas
one OF the Congressional districts from
Republican hands. Could they have
done Tins il would have been an immens'
advantage 10 them in the close conteS
which eliminates in Indiana next month
That theV could not do il is TO be attrib
uted 20 iae solid strength OF the Repub
hcan sentiment, and to the fidelity will
which il is represented by the Repub
ucau candidates.
