Maine i'm the Election.

The republicans of the State of Maine
have done their part nobly in the elections
this year. In September they led of with
a majority for Governor Conner OF about
5000. electing a full delegation OF re-
publicans TO Congress. and carrying the
legislature by 80 republicans to demo-
Gratis in the Senate, and 100 republicans
TO 81 democrats in the House.
Encouraged by the outlook as they
viewed it after the October elections. the
democrats went vigorously to work to con-
test with their whole strength the election
in November They began with "still
hunt" but finding their plans were dis
covered the democratic State committee
issued a flaming circular. stimulating
their followers with the prospect of sue
cess and urging them to their utmost eff
forts for Tilden. In that circular were the
following words:
I'VE shall not encounter in this as in
the September election. the combined
power of the administration at Washing
ton and its cohorts throughout the country
with all the appliances OF COERCION.
INTIMIDATION and BRIBERY. This
fact if not decisive will greatly add to
our chances OF success"
We quote this passage from the circular
of the democratic State committee, be-
cause it repeats the charge made in the
democratic newspapers after the Septem-
Der election, that the republicans only sue
ceeded in electing their State ticket by
coercion, intimidation and bribery and
held out that there was good chance to
carry the Stale democratic in November
because those appliances" would not
be encountered.
Wen, the November election has been
held. and the result is that the republic
can majority for Hayes and Wheeler is
$4,000 against $1,000 for Governor Con-
nor in September! A plump gain of
5000 against the best efforts that the
democrats could make And this with
out ''coercion, intimidation and bribery"
as the circular of the State committee
quoted above comedies y!
All honor to the republicans Of Maine for
the promptness and fidelity with which
they came to the polls in support of
Hayes and Wheeler. Thanks to the
democratic State committee that they
have proved by their own assertion before
election that The republicans of Maine do
not carry this State by coercion, intimi-
dation and bribery but by the intelli-
genee of the republican voters and their
fidelity to republican principles.

President Grants Order.

The order of President Grant directing
the military to act with reference to the
preservation of the ballot boxes and fair
count and return of votes in Florida and
Louisiana meets with the approval to
which it is entitled. He clearly under
stands the situation. Unlike Buchanan who
sat temporising, trembling and refusing
to act, Grant promptly gives the disturb
ers of the peace in the South to under
stand that he will guard the imperlled
rights of the people. His position is not
that Of partizan, but that of an impartial
Executive upholding justice and right
The following words are worthy the
chief of the nation;

"cion of fraudulent counting on either

WASHINGTON, Nov. II. All dispatches re-
ceived here to-day from Florida and Louisiana
are conGrmatory of those previously received in
dicating a republican success in both States.
There is no difference Of opinion here now among
republicans as to the election of Hayes, and even
the democratic frauds which have been perpctrat-
ed, and the game bluff attempted in New Orleans
by the desperate men leading the democratic
party in Louisiana, will not deprive the republi-
can party of the victory which it has achieved.
Yesterday the democrats here ella lined TO have
despatch from Senator Conover of Florida con-
ceding his State to Tilden. Some enthusiasm
was aroused among the democrats over this base
forgery, for such it proved to be, and for while
not a few republicans thought the suspense was
ended. To-day Colonel G. ID. Willard, Florida
State agent, received the following despatch from
the chairman of the republican State executive
committee

our people, which will guarantee them a

from Georgia into South Carolina to see
about the counting Of the votes in the lat

But since seeing the reports that squads of
