The Emporia (Kansas) NEWS made
its appearance last week in a fine new
dress We have not been advised wheth
er il was purchased of Worth, of Paris
or some firstclass type foundry. At any
rate the paper is a model of typograph
ical beauty. 1t has every appearance OF
being well patronized We wish the
proprietors abundant success. One OF
the owners of the NEWS is Mr.. Jake
StOtler, well known in this county. His
old friends will be glad to know that he
is making live newspaper in EmpOria
Wilmington (O) Journal.
We neglected to state that our ''new
clothes" came from the foundry of Mar
der, Luse Sc Co., Chicago, ILL.,, which we
believe to be one of the best managed es
Establishments of the kind in the country

The Inter Ocean, referring to the Maine
election, significantly remarks:
If there is another Republican State
that wants to fight hard-money cam
paign in honor of General jackson, let
Them button up their ulsters, pull down
their vests, and hop in. There are "lots
of lickings" left. The Republican party
is in favor of honest money, certainly,
but il should not be forced into an an
tagonism against greenbacks. That is
no part of its mission. The people will
hesitate to turn the finances over to the
enemies of greenbacks as long as the Re
publican party is faithful to its trust.
Democrats blowing with a greenback
heifer, and Republicans running hard.
money machine, il enough to make the
bones Of Andrew jackson rattle in his
coffin.
The Republicans OF Kansas don't pro.
pose to be caught that way. They don't
want any of the lickings, and conse-
quently adopted progressive platform
and nominated a first-class ticket.

Republican minority. .......... 5000
These figures show that the national
party has made a wonderful growth in
Maine during the past year, and that it
has taken about two-thirds of its strength
from the democratic and one-third from
the republican party. But it is yet to
be seen that it takes much strength from
the democratic party except in states
where that partyis in a minority anyway.
In the southern states, and in the north
ern states where the democratic par
ty is in the majority, the national party
gets comparatively few democratic votes
1t must after all depend as much for its
success upon republican as upon demo
cratic recruits, and while the results in
Maine are important indications, it may
be that now, as in previous 'off years, !"
the floating vote that goes with every
wave of popular excitement may react
and leave the national party stranded by
the time another election takes place.
We cannot allow the Maine election to
shake our faith in republican principles,
or in the faith that the republican party is
yet the chief bulwork of good govern
ment and sound financial policy in this
country.
The figures show that the combined
opposition vote in Maine this year is
about z 900 larger than in 1876. This
1000 may fairly be allowed as so much
republican vote gone to the national
party, and that would of course put the
republican vote just about on a level
with the combined opposition were a
full vote out. If the same rate of gain
in greenback sentiment is to keep up
another year, that party could of course
even carry the state, but as we re-
marked, off years are noted for tidal
waves that soon recede, and it is not i'm
possible that the national party vote of
Maine has already reached its highest
point.
The gubernatOrial election law in
Maine is peculiar. If no candidate has
majority over all, the house selects
two of the candidates voted for, and
sends their names to the senate, which
selects one of the two. The republicans
will have the senate, but the combined
opposition seem to have one majority in
the house. In that case the house will
probably select the national and demo
cratic candidates, Smith and .Garcelon,
and the republican senate will have the
disagreeable alternative of choosing one
of them for governor.
The greatest loss in the election is two
congressman, Ladd, greenback and dem
Ocrat, defeating Powers, republican, in
the fourth district, by 1850, and Murch,
greenback, defeating Eugene Hale in the
fifth district by slight majority. Mar
tin, democrat, also ran in that district,
but had a small vote. Mr.. Hale's defeat
will be regretted all over the country,
for there have been few better men in
congress during the past fifteen years OF
| his continuous service therein.

THE MAINE ELECTION.

This election, on the Goth instant, is
surprise to all parties, and has set the
metropolitan press to thinking that the
result in that state this month may be a
forerunner of the results to come in 9TH
er states in November. The New York
Tribune, which has heretofore regarded
the greenback party as a mere ally and
tool through which the democratic party
was drawing votes from the republican
party to itself, now declares that the
Maine election shows that the swallOwer
has been swallowed, and that it is the
greenback party which is absorbing the
bulk of the democratic voters, as well as
gaining a good many heretofore republi-
can voters, and this il must now be &C
knowledged as the next strongest party
to the republican, and as its most form
liable competitor in the presidential
election of 1880. The democratic party
will very reluctantly acknowledge that
it is already the third party in national
importance, but as the Tribune says, it
is certainly so in Maine, and that may
be pretty good indications of what will
happen to it elsewhere.
The full vote of Maine was out in
1876, as follows:
Republican "a, 612
Democratic. go, 652
Republican majority. IA 800
There was no greenback vote there
worth speaking of that year. In 1877
the vote was as follows:
Republican. ........... 1881
DemOcrrtlc AZ, ia
Greenback .............. 5,256-47, $40
Republican majority. .6,261
This year the vote, so far as yet ascer-
tanned, is about as follows:
Republican. ... $4,000
NatlOnal.. .00,UOO
Democratic. .29, OOO-67, 600
