Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1878-09-12
Maine Election.

The Maine election occurred on
Monday, and as had been generally
anticipated neither party cast ma
jority of all the votes. Latest re-
turns indicate that Conner, Republi-
can candidate for Governor has
about $4,000, Smith, Greenback 81
600, and GaroeloD, Democrat $4,000.
When no one receives a majority of
all the votes cast, the law OF Maine
provides that the House of Represen-
tative shall send to the Senate the
names of two from the four canGi-
dates receiving the highest number
of votes. and the Senate will choose
one of these two for Governor.
The Senate is Republican. but the
House is doubtful and it may turn
out that the Democrats and Green
hackers combined will have more
members than the Republicans, and
they may refuse to send the name OF
the Republican candidate to the Sen
ate and thus defeat him. 1t will be seen
however that the Republicans cast
twenty-five thousand more votes than
the Greenbackers and thirty thous-
and more than the Democrats. The
Democrats in all counties where they
did not have an absolute majority,
abandoned their organization and
united with the Greenbackers. The
Republicans true TO the principles OF
honesty, refused to form coalitions,
and all things considered made a
glorious flight. The result shows
that the Greenback party is destined
to swallow all the portion Of the De-
mocracy that prefer Office to princi-
pie, and indicates that the end of the
old party is at hand. Honest Demo
Gratis, who believe in sound currency
will seek a home in the Republican
party. the party that favors no class
nor section the party of equal rights,
and the party that will secure good
government for rich and poor alike.

Charles Kellison has left the Green

last week gives his reasons. They
snubbed him in the convention and
that was sufficient for Charles. He
says: ~The so-called convention
was called by a committee appointed
by the Plymouth club, and at the
time it was appointed, 1 protested
against the right of such a committee
to call nominating convention for

eyes of many listeners. There was no
disturbance. except that man residing in
the vicinity, seeing his wife sign the
pledge. became enraged, rushed forward,
seized her roughly by the arm, tore the
blue ribbon from her dress. dashed it
roughly TO playground and tore the card
in pieces. The ball held in the evening
was conducted in a manner to reflect credit
on the managers. II was largely attended,
the best of order was observed and there
was not a tipsy person in the crowd
