Democratic Maine.

On last Friday the Maine Legisla-
ture elected Alonzo Garcelon Govern
or of the State. Garcelon is sound
Democrat. The Constitution of that
State requires the candidate for Slate
office TO receive majority of all the
votes cast before he can receive the
certificate of election. If no one re-
ceives majority, then it devolves up
on the Legislature to select from the
candidates. In the last election, the
Nationals, Republicans and Demo-
Gratis each had ticket in the field and
there was no choice by the people.
When the Legislature convened, the
Democrats and Greenbackers very SEN
sibly consolidated their strength
which gave them majority. and by
caucus, selected a ticket for State off,

lows: Governor, Alonzo Garcelon !;

Death of Hon. Caleb Gushing,

This distinguished man died at his
home in Newberryport, Mass, ON the
2nd inst. He was born in Massachu-
sets, January l7th, 1900. He was
admitted to the bar at the age of %.
He was one of the most learned men
in America. He was a writer of con-
siderable note. He negotiated our
first treaty with China, served in the
Mexican war, was a Justice of the Su-
preme Court of Massachusetts, and
was Attorney General under Pierce's
administration. In 1860 he was the
presiding officer of the Charleston Con-
ventioE, and was one of the seceders
from it who nominated Breckenridge
forPresident. He was Minister to
Spain under Grants administration.
He had probably no equal. and but
few peers as lawyer, though as a
politician he was rather vascellating,
having been Wing, Democrat and Re-
publican.

An Excursion 90 Mexico.

The President of Mexico does not
want war with the United States, but,
on the contrary, he wants amicable
and closer commercial relations with

appoint some of their leading CONNER

open up more friendly commercial re-

"Rage on ye Winds"

We are glad that Jim Blaine made
the record he did in the past year, for
of all years in history the last has
the fullest list of evils to answer for.
With yellow fever, small pox, hard
times and the devil, comes this crazy
disappointed politician, mad over the
success of the Democracy and threat
ems the negroes with disfranchisement,
taking from them their citizenship and
fastening on them the shackles of sla-
very. That which the Republicans de-
clared the Democracy would do they
now propose to accomplish themselves.
Because the colored man discovered
the cloven foot of Republicanism, that
they were made the dupes of the cum
ming and dishonesty of
the leaders of that party and sought
refuge in the Democratic ranks as their
only safety, they are now denounced.
and all the furies are called into requi-
sition to punish them for the exercise
of the ballot and asserting the freedom
of citizenship. We say to the colored
men, you have fast friend in the
Democratic party; you have found in
one of the great leaders of the South
ern Democracy, Gov. Wade Hampton,
the best friend you ever had. He will
continue TO stand by your rights when
your pretended friends desert and per-
secute your race. Remember that it
has ever been the mission of the De-
mocracy to protect and defend the OPP
pressed. Rave on. Jim Blaine, the |
chickens are coming home to roost.

149 Republican Gain.
Nay there be More Of Elm
The Result In the County.

The Republicans of Belmont, while
they have not won Il decided victory, are
to be congratulated over the gallant
fight just closed in the county. The
contest upon their part was conducted
with the odds against them, yet right
valiantly they fought, and but for the
foisting upon them of large number of
Irish on the line of tie T. V. Railroad,
whose right to vote in the county, to say
the least, is questionable, they would
have carried almost their entire ticket.
In addition to this drawback, the barrel
of Tilden or the keg of Thurman, had
the head knocked out, and whenever a
vote could be made by the use of money,
there was no hesitancy in placing cit
where it would do the most good, while
on the other hand, Republicans were de
pendent on patriotic donors for the ne
cesSary expenses of carrying on the can
vass. Notwithstanding ali this, the re-
suit, while it is not all we hoped for, is
most gratifying The Republicans had
nothing to lose in the fight, but all TO
gain. They have elected their candidate
to one of the most important offices in
the county, that of Prosecuting Attor
ney, came within eight votes of electing
member of the Legislature, and made
close call for all the offices. Last year,
the Democratic majority was 80; this
year it is 103 on GOVERNOR Republic
can gain of POI, and gain of AIS over
1877. Under all. the circumstances, the
Republicans have achieved most glOri
GUS victory. They have only to keep
their columns closed up, and next year
they will roll up a handsome majority
for our Presidential nominee.

A VERY cute swindle is being practiced
on farmers in some parts of the country.
A sleek fellow calls at farm house for
dinner, and on paying for it asks the
host to sign receipt-so that he can
show his employers what his expenses
have been; the receipt is prepared in
such way that the signature is made
on paper underneath the thin paper
on which it is written, and that lower
sheet of paper is note for one hundred
dollars or such a matter, which the
swindler sells before he gets out of the
neighbOrhood, and thus piece of trans
fer paper and that principle of law
which holds the innocent purchaser
harmless, are used to cozen very success
