Maine has been one of the most reliay

Others, enc of the most Influential !
As goes Maine q goes the Unionaa has
come to be, in the last two decades. an
accepted fact. The importance of the
Radical overthrow cannot be overesti-
mated. Many will regret that the
Democrats. pure and simple, did not
accomplish. it all and will not, receive all
it's immediate benefits, but they should
remember that very mu,h is gained by
the Democracy when the organization
of the Republican party is scattered,
and that too, there will follow immed-
late results In States where Democracy
will be the sole gamer. Most Demo
Gratis will not heartily rejoice atthe now
inevitable election of Gent Batter to
the G%overnorship of Massachusetts, but
equally certain election of Dillin Penn

rupt Cameron control l that State,
will be seen by all conservative men
With pleasure. These things the Maine
election makes certain. This election,

not come at once, but when the people
of States, like Maine and Massachu-

grievances at their own doors ashich
they will have attended to, the politi.
clans will drop other business aud ats
tend to those grievances. And this
abandonment Of sectional quarrel will
be oil the more thorough and alt the
more gratifying because it comes about
naturally and in order aud is not forced
by gush Or bargain. -sstgs We lis

Secretary Evarts speaks in New YORK
at an early day. The celebrated civil
service order of Mr.H prohibits office
holders from managing political eau
cuses, conventions or campaigns. If a
business man had issued such an order
to his subordinates, and they had don.

would be an lmm date end to their
