A CAREFUL survey of the battle field in
Maine leads to some very interesting con-
clusion. OF course the Republicans make
a clean sweep, according to latest figures,
and will once more have the whole State
Government in their hands But that
point would be of minor con-
sequence should the parties still maintain
their relative force and spirit. Here is
where the interest comes in. 1t was quite
generally supposed that the large vote
which the Greenback candidates received
would set them up permanently in business,
but more careful inquiries lead TO another
conviction. The Greenback party as
mere PARTY of finance never had much
hold in any Eastern State, and probably not
one-half of these who voted the Greenback
ticket believe IN Greenbackism. They took
the course they did from general dissatifac-
ton with affairs, or what is called sore head
edness. The leaders went out from both
parties, and denounced both, but large
part of the followers were Democrats who
were willing to vote for anything to beat
the Republicans. Hereafter they will vote
the old ticket, and the contest will once
morebe between the Democrats and Repubi-
cans. In other words the Greenback party
is demolished because il hsd no cause for
existence, and next year it will fall away
and finally die, its members drifting back
to their old party allegiance or trying 70 or
ganize new party. The Greenback party
in Maine was little else but party of re-
pudiation, of communism and of wild no.
tons that could not withstand one defeat.
It is a collapsed bubble, and will never be
heard Of again as dangerous force in pol
itics. The Republicans claim that the will
ingness Of the Democrats to coalesce with it
damaged that party good deal, but time
alone can tell as to that. Doubtless the
Democrats confidently hoped for different
result or they would have taken different
and more independent course and many of
them feel that it would have been better to
have preserved their independence entirely.
