Republicans the Greenback party would
have "died q borning," being literally
crushed out. In New England the Green
hackers have received great aid and comfort
from the idolatrous financial attitude Of the
leading Republicans in worshiping the
golden calf while the silver measure was
under consideration. If the success Of that
measure had been followed by another un-
der the advocacy of the Republicans, con-
tending for greenbacks as a legal tender for
all debts due the Government and indi-
viduals, then the Greenbackers and the
Democrats would have been lankcd
by just and benefcent propo-
siton, and which they must either accept
or nntagonize. But, instead of this, the Re-
publicans enlisted on the side of gold, dis
gusted q widespread public sentiment
melted the Greeubackers to renewed ef-
forts in promising field, which has
afforded the harvest VIC have been reap
ing, and here we are, with loss Of
two members of Congress TO score TO oui
side in contest which has for its primary
purpose to gain enough to give us control
Of the House. Unless this result inspires
our friends to renewed and unremittinl
effort elsewhere throughout the North tt
make gains to compensate these extraordi'
nary losses, the work before us is not full o.
encouragement.

THE MaINE ELECTION.

We have no eagle 10 spread his wings, no
rooster to crow, no cannon TO fire over Re-
publican victory in Maine. Not much! 1t
has gone little rs it went years ago in the
post campaign sOng-for Governor KENT
We shout not in this hour Of great surprise,
but are disposed to wear n very meek and
humble mien in recording the history of this
remarkable result There Is no election Of
Governor by tho people, and the choice will
dcyolye upon the Legislature. The State
Senate is decidedly Republican, aud strong
hopes are entertained that the House will
he presented in like shape politically. This,
OF course will secure CUNNOR's cleo
tiOn rs Governor Bat the Green
hackers and Democrats, Iy such an al
lance MS the Democrats ar. ready to make
anywhere, have snatChcd two mcmbrrS Of
Congress from our grasp. HALE and
PuwERs have both been brutcu, which IS u
srriyu, loss. aud one which should have
been prevented The Grrruback flood rose
much higher than the Old and most cXpc-
rrnccd politicians in the State on both
sides had anticipated, and all stand in as
tQnishmcut surveying the scene and extent
Ol its power.
We will not undertake at the present mo-
mcmt fully to arrount for this strange result,
1t is evident that the Greenbackers and the
DemOcrats-the tiat-moncy men and the
COpperhcuds too many Greeks
for US TO overcome One of the more appa-
rent causes Of this disaster is cOwardiCe on
the part of the Republican party in not
standing mnnfully upon the premises that
the Republican party Of the nation is the
original greenback party, thus occupying a
position that would have given the fiat
money men-the illcgitimate Greonbackers
no ground upon which to plant party,

SECRETARY SHERMAN can do nothing

taken good care not to assail it-they give
that wide and uninterrupted passage.
He has been numerically abused because
into the street, like TILDES's barl of
money, that everybody might help them
selves. Now they abuse him because he is
providing u way by which the silver dollar
can get to the people under an exchange for
greenbacks and charge upon him that he is
boarding the greenbacks, when the law pro-
hbits the curtailing of the latter by con-
traction. 1t Is paid out as fast as
it is received in exchange for sill

which BLACKBURN's committee is practc
ing under the dome OF the Capitol, by which
they seek at present to promote a fail
degree of happiness under their own jack
cts. Pity the Secretary cannot crafty the

the whole nation to them it would not ap
pease their sharpened appetites for spois.

SINCE the last election of ANDREW JACK
son no candidate for President has received
a greater per centage of the total vote cast
at any national election than that received
by General GRANT for his second term in
1s72. OF the popular vote his per centage
was 5563; and of the electoral vote, sl.97.
In 1s6S of the popular vote his per centage
was 5267; of the electoral vote, 7?.19.
There is no especial significance in these
figures; but great many people are curl
Gus to know whether he could strike the
average between these two results in n
third term effort.

IOWA POLTTICs-sECRErAR MCRARy
on THE STUMP.

Iowa is universally regarded as the most
decided and radical Republican State in the
Union. 1t is probable that If General
GRANT were running this year for President
Iowa would roll up a majority for him of
not less than seventy thousand votes. Twcn-
ty-four years ago Iowa elected an out-and-
ont irec-soiler and Abolition sympathizcr--
JAMES W. GRIMES-Governor and from that
day to this has been getting better and bet.

administration of GRANT with large major.
itics in nearly every county in the State,
In the campaign of the Centennial year il
gave the Republican ticket largely the great
est majority it anywhere received.
This strong radical state is much dissat'
isfied with the present Administration. In
its State convention of 1S77 the Republi.
can party was as silent rs the grave on thai
subject but in the convention of ISIS the
Presidents policy" was substantially char
actcrized rs namby- y-pambyism. Among th'
one huni ired and finy Republican Journals
OF the State only three or four sustain th'
Administration. All the rest constantly
assail il with less or more-generally NOR

Under such circumstances 1t Is but natu

est on the part Of the public to know wha
| Iowa's member of the Cabinet has to say oil
the political issues of the time. In gratiti

LIBELs OS PUBLIC MEN.

1t has become quite fashionable with q
licentious and malicious class of journals TO
indulge the most vicious assaults upon pub
lie men, in the hope that they may escape
the responsibility and just consequences of
their libels. Something over year ago q
most diabolical conspiracy was formed in
California to blacken the regulations of
Senator SARGENT, Representative PAGE,
and WILLIAM b. CARR, under widespread
allegations that they had shared half q
million of dollars which had been furnished
by GEORGE VI. PISSEY, and which they
had used to move the political machinery
of the State, corrupt conventions, and con-
ccal frauds, and suits were in stituted
against Mr.. CARR to recover this amount.
1t was alleged that PINSEY had obtained o
million OF dollars from the banks and still
owed them half a million. aud that CARR
had acted as the agent Of SARGENT and
PAGE to disburse the sum Tor their
benefit. These allegations were sworn TO-
presented in court and scattered broadcast
over the State for the sole purpose OF smirch-
ing Messrs. SARGENT and PAGE. The
pending political campaign hinged OH these
accusations, and great excitement prevailed
throughout the State. The assaults that
followed on the part Of the press were Sc
severe that several suits for lib1l were in-
stituted by the aggricved parties
subsequently the suits brought by thc
banks were dismissed without tria
or one word Of explanation all of which
greatly surprised and perplexed the public
mind. Subsequent Investigations, how
ever, revealed the fact that PINSEY
instead of furnishing this money a
wls alleged, had lost over $6J100o in stocl
, transactions, and had left the country
/ Then the conspiracy exploded, and the ale
cations 5ainSt MeSsrS SARGENT, PAGE, ant
/ CARR fell to the ground. The suits wer'
dismissed, and the Journals Which had hcel

gentlemen began, and are still, eating hum

this country has 80 ne!arious plot as thi
been discovered, which had been arrayer
against the regulations OF innocent and re

and these gentlemen stand before the cOun

THE Hon. STEWART l.. WoODFoRD,
United States District Attorney Of New
York, has mingled freely in the late canvass
in Maine. On Saturday last he made o
speech in Portland in which he took occa-
sion to declare his independence as an
American citizen though he be o Federal
office-holder. He expressed the opinion
that Federal officers were entitled to every
privilege that belonged to an American
citizen-the right to take part in politics,
the right to speak, to write, and to run the
machine-as long as they discharged their
duty to the Government. This is the right
kind of talk. 1t is worth volumes of vapory
theorizing over civil-service reform. .-ss

JONGEE THOMPSON is the heavy conf
dencc man of the Ohio Democracy not that
he is in the confidence business, in the Jer-
emy Diddler sense of the term, but that he
is constantly going about confident of DEM
ocratic success in any pending election
campaign and attempting to frighten timid
Republicans by his loud declarations of that
confidence. lie grows fat on this kind of
faith and it is noticed that after time, on
any emergent occasion, he really begins to
believe all that he says. lie has reached
that condition now regarding the Ohio cam
paign and is correspondingly happy. Next
month his confidence will depart; he will
discover that lie has been feeding on bonn
bastic assumption, and he will begin TO
grow thin again. by actual computation it
has been discovered that JoNGEE varies in
his weight eight or ten tons every election
year. Before the elections come OH he
weighs as much as one of BARNUMs biggest
