THE MORTIFIED ROBBERS,

The readers of the Transcript will learn
with great satisfaction that besides the TIVE
bandits killed at Mortified, four more
have since been capturcd-onc d lad, and
the others after vigorous fight, in which
they were all severely wounded. They
gave up only when they had exhausted
all means of defense and were powerless
to continue the fight, except upon the
contingency of certain death. Members
of the police force of St. Louis, Mo, have
seen the robbers sincc their capture, and
declare that two Of the three now living
are respectively Cole and Bob Younger.
The other one they do not identify posi-
lively, but think his narle Cal. Carter, q
notorious desperate of Texas. The three
arc confined IN Jail at Faribault awaiting
an examination. Sheriff Barton has a
strong guard placed over them, and in.
tends not only to prevent their escape but
to protect them against the fury of any
who may not feel disposed to await the
tardy processes of the law.

Tie political warfare is being waged
with intense energy in the states Of Indi.
ana, Ohio and Illinois. The intellectual
giants Of both parties arc contesting every
inch OF these fields with the utmost stub
bornness. but after all, the battle is an unc.
quail one. The Republic ans arc gaining
ground daily, and arc certain to achieve a
victory. 1t IS morally impossible for tho
Democrats to succeed. They represent
nothing whatever that the republic holds
sacred. They have stood in the way of its
progress constantly, and once under their
control, it would BE- made the instrument
Of its own destruction. The thinking men
of the country see it and realize it. The
loyal men feel 1t and shuddcr when thew
recall the sacrifices which they have n ado
in its behalf! The better judgment Of the
American people is opposed to the De-
mocracy. Its history is the history OF tho
lash and the blood hound, OF treason and
rebellion, Of destruction and death! Now
let US have its CbseIulcs and its q itaph.

Hotchkiss says, referring to the rcsolu-
tions of the late convention, There is q.
law establishing IL per cent. as the maxi
mum rate ct interest in Minnesota, just
the kind Of IN enactment Iarwood calls
for' The kind Of enactment called for by
the resolutions is one which will PREVENT
the paying or receiving more than IL per
cent. interest. llotchkiss, have we such
a law as that in Minnesota: We admit
that under the present law it is illegal to
take more than IL per cent. interest for
the use Of money, but is the illegality cf-
fectual to PREVENT the taking Of more
than IL per cent: Answer these questions
please, and then retract the talschood
which VIC have quoted above, published by

Hotchkiss made garblcd report Of the
late county convention, rs we expected he
would. II a political meeting is not con-
trolled by him, 1t is not a fair meeting in
his estimation. For the sake Of abusing
Mr.. Brown und Mr. Dcming, he takes
pains to characterize the resolutions those
gentlemen helped to frame US ''disjointed,
meaningless, and buncombe." He urges
no objection to the resolutions except that
he thinks them calculated to "catch
votes" The committee arc satisfied to let
the principles which they formulated and
expressed in the convention defend them
selves against the attacks of Hotchkiss.
All we ask is that the report be read side
BY side with what "Hotch' says about it.
That Will satify us, and We think it will

MAINE POINTS THE WAY.

The fist news from Maine is better than,
was expected. Mr.. Blaine, in a private
dispatch which we have printed in anoth-
or column, says that the victory has run
far beyond his calculations. His sagaci-
Gus lieutenant, Mr.. John L. Stevens, telc
graphs US that the figures look like 49,
600 Republican majority, with all the
Congressman. The Democrats expected
to cut down the majority to something like
1900. Our own cautious and experienced
correspondent, after thorough study IT
the field, estimated the majority at be-
tween 5000 and 10000, and placed two Of
the Congressional Districts in doubt. The
most hopeful Republican estimate, with
favorable weather, was only $4,000. If
they have carried the majority up to 15,-
600, the Republicans have great reason to
be proud Of their achievement, and Mr.
Blaine has set brilliant example, which
lis competitors at Cincinnati would do
we'll in their respective States to initiate.
It's possible that some of these carly
reports may be over-sangulne; but there
is enough, ut any rate, TO show the set of
the current. In Maine, far more decided.
y than in Vermont, it is still with the Re-
publicans. The Democrats look in vain
for their tidal wave. For those who put
faith in computations Of gain or loss, small
variations in the vote, when fully return.
ell, may have interest. Enough is known
already to prove that the cry Of ''Tildcn
and 'Retorm" docs not produce the ex-
pected stampede Of Republican voters,
In The Eastern States, at least, it is plain
that thepcoplc have not concluded to trust
the Democratic party. To the majority of
voters, that party seems to be just what 1t
has been for twenty years-thc party OF
reaction, of sllams, and of unconqucrablc
tendencies toward disloyalty. The voters
Of Maine do not think much the worse of
it because 1t nominated Mr.. Seymour in
New York, or much the better of it Ee
cause it nominated Mr.. Adams in Massa-
chusetts. They understand it very we'll.
Its spirit is known, and its prevailing ten
denotes, and those who most kcenly re.
greet the faults Of the Republican party
still feel that the time has not come to give
control OF the country to Democracy.
Details will come later. In due time
we shall know how many Republicans
did not care 10 vote because the imn,cdi.
ate results were assured. The great fact
is obvious already; there is no sweeping
reaction in favor of the Democratic party.
In 1910, when Maine went for Gov. Kent,
there was great conlmOtion throughout
the land. A revolution in public opinion
had come. For such revolution the
Democrats had hoped this year. but there
