And Now Maine.

Vermont set the fall fashions of
Republican victory last week, and
now Maine follows with more Of the
same sort. Owing to Republican
dlssentIons in one of the Districts,
the Democracy calculated on a large
falling off from a Republican majority,
but the results have defeated their
hopes. The latest returns indicate
that the Republican majority on
Governor will be fully 10000, which
is gain of over 10000 since last
year. The Republicans carry every
county in the State, elect all their
candidates for Congress, and have
four-ffths of the Legislature. The
triumph is complete and overwhelm'
ing. Maine signally repudiates Til.
den and his crooked record, and pre-.
sages the national Republican victory
in November.

Our Candidate for Congress,

From indications of Republican
sentiment throughout the District, as
we'll as from strong endorsements of
his character and qualifications which
we have received from number OF
the most mrominent and influential
men in the party since the Conven-
ton at McGregor, we cannot doubt
that the nomination of 7. w. Bur-
dick, as the standard bearer of the
Republican party in the Sd District,
was most wise and appropriate
He certainly stands well at home
among all parties, and the welcome
that geeted him on his return to
DEBORAH the day following the Con
vention, took the character of an ova-
ton, IN which Democrats seemed to
vie with Republicans in dong him
honor, and in manifestipg their sense
of the fitness of his nomination. Ad-
ded to this, the fairer portion of the
Democratic press of the District, en-
dorse him as man of unblemished
honor and uprightness. He stands
high as a business man of sagacity
and experience, by no means an un.
important qualification for member
of Congress. His nomination har-
monies all elements of the party,
and we have right to look with con-
fidence for one of our old fashioned
victories under his banner.
Capt. Burdick has resigned his
position as Cashier OF the First Ma
tional Bank of DEBORAH, which he
has held for the past ten years, so
that he may enter the campaign free
from all embarrassments. That he
will make a most effective and sue
cessful canvass, and commend him
self to the confidence and respect of
all with whom he comes in contact,
we have no doubt.
His candidacy will be especially
agreeable to the soldiers, he having
served CALAMITY during three years
of the war, as Captain in the 9th
Iowa Cavalry. OF four brothers
who with HIM, periled their lives in
their country's cause, three sealed
their patriotic devotion with their
lives. He is an original Republican,
with q record of unfalterlng and I'M
selfish devotion to the great princi-
pies of the party. For the first time
in his life, he appears as a candidate
for office, and now, without his own
seeking, but in obedience to the de-
mand of those who best know his
eminent fitness for responsible trust,
and his answering uprightness of
character. Wepredict his election by
not less than l, 200 majority.

Gov. Hayes Tax Return.

The Democracy instead Of trying
to explain in a manner satisfactory to
honest people, Gov. Tilden's crooked
record regarding his income tax, are
endeavoring to divert attention from
it by charging something similar up
on Gov. Hayes; in other words, using
the "you are an other" argument,
which is virtually an acknowledge
ment of guilt. The story, started by
that paragon of journalistic virtue
and honor, the Chicago Times, is to
the effect that Gov. Hayes falsified his
tax return to the assessor of the town
In which he resides, in Ohio, and the
specifications, are embodied in the
following despatch to the Cincinnati
Enquirer of Sept. 3:
