In Maine has na0 an inspiring erect
on the Republic cans everywhere. It is
noticeable that Republican sentiment
has stiffened up here very much since
that event, and the Greenback wave
is set back very suddenly. The gener.
al feeling now is that political contests
for the future will assume the old as.
pect, the Republicans and Democrats
being the contestants. This is certain
" satisfactory to the Republican par.
ty, since no party could, be organized
whom the party could beat more read
lily and regularly than it can the Bour.
bon party organized upon the bull doz-
ing, repudiating policy of the ex.Con-
federates.
There is one aspect of the vote in
Maine that deserves alittle n0tice-that
which relates to the increased Green
back vote. Some assume that this
indicates substantial growth, but
more who know the circumstances
take very different view. The ap-
parent increase was borrowed from
the Democrats so to speak, who helped
them 80 us to strike Il heavy blow at
the Republicans. Next year the Dem
ocrats will assume the opposition
management, withdraw their Green
back voters, thus drive the Republican
Greenbackers back to the Republican
party, and leave the Greenback party
a mere skeleton. III fact, the result is
Greenback collapse, and there is no
future for that party in Maine. Doubt.
less it has seen its best days every
where. Senator Blaine's grand man,
agement of the Maine campaign, ard
his able discussions of the questions at
issue have attracted wide attention,
and his name is enthusiastically re-
ceived everywhere. His services will
be in demand elsewhere and probably
lie will 90 to Ohio and New York to
make speeches. Last night at a polit-
ical meeting in Portland Senator Ham
lin nominated Mr.. Blaine for President
in 1880, and it ELECTED great applause.
The people of Maine are more than
ever in love with their chief, and OBJ
serve that elsewhere the enthusiasm
is echoed. 1t is too early to predict as
to the next Presidency but Blaine has
certainly and substantially grown in
the estimation of tho Republican par
ty.
The skies are bright all round. Cor.
nell is growing in favor in New York,
and the Democratic wrangle there en-
sures his election. In Ohio the Re.
publicans are now quite sure of vic
tory, and the Democrats are despond.
emit. In Pennsylvania the Republicans
are advancing visibly. Even in Mary
land they have started upon a cam
paign which almost promises victory.
The nomination of JAS. A. Gary for
Governor is we'll received, and he will
poll q very large vote. Some Repub-
licans even indulge the hope that lie
will be elected, but that is too good to
look for.
Snpt. Walker of the Census Bureau
has issued instructions relative to en-.
umerators under the census law. These
officers are to be residents of the
places where they act and familiar
with the population. Their work must
be done in one month, June 1880 and
in populous places the first two weeks
of the month. The compensation will
no exceed 500. Where it is practic.
able, country physicians will be APP
pointed in sparsely settled districts as
being best able to do the work we'll and
quickly. It is expected that the next
| census will be the. most perfect that
was ever taken in this. country. Many
difficulties will be encountered in the
South and great frauds are feared as a
means of swelling the population, bnt
every precauti On will be taken to have
an honest enumeration and in the
