Municipal Elections.

The elections on Monday show how
difficult TASK has been undertaken by
those who proposed TO turn over the
grecnhack voters to the democratic
party. In Lewiston the Republicans
have elected the Mayor, aud have a ma
lofiiv OF the Council aud Aldermen. In
Auburn, the Republicans elected their
Mayor. and hay" the control ia the city
government Thi, CITY wa supposed
10 be certain for the fusIoui>ls In Bath,
he Ms,or and every Alderman and
Councilman are Republican. Gardiner
also elected a Republican Mayor. IN
Biddeford they elected the Msvor and
all the officers in 5 of the ! wards. In
Portland the fusion candidate WAS elect
ed, but III" Repub leans have a majority
of the Aldermen aud Councilmen. In
Rocklsnd there was no choice for MAYOR
by the people. Three Republicans. Que
Democrat aud one Greenback Aldermen
were elected. Ia two OF the wards there
was no choice, ihorgh the chances are
reported favorable to The Republican,.
OF the Councilmen II are Republicans.
Greenbackers aud Democrats with
no choice of the remaining two.
We do not think Republicans have any
reason 10 find fault with the situation a.
indicated BY these elections. since thew
show very clearly that the Greenback
party has hot been so completely swal-
lowed up by the Democracy as they
would have us believe. A Democrat
may be Greenbscker, but il does not
necessarily follow that Greenbseker is
a Democrat.

The conference committee on State
insisted on its previous action thereby ere
ating dead lock and The printing therefore
remains in the hands OF Sprague, Owen
a Nash under their former contract. The
most important action taken during the
session was that OF submitting TO the peo-
pie the constitutional amendment for b!en-
NAL sessions. There Is little doubt that
the vote In favor OF this amendment will
be large. as the people have become salts
hed that all needed legislation can be Sc
cured through biennial as well as annual
sessions and thus save 10 the state a very
heavy aud needless outlay.
One OF the strongest arguments in favor
of the amendment is the danger of having
men like the fusion leaders in the last
House elected 10 the position of law max
ers for the State. The amusement which
they furnish does not compensate for the
enormous expense 10 the State, consequent
on the loss Of time consumed by them In
windy debate. But for the good sense OF
/ the Senate ii would be difficult TO imagine
the depth OF folly TO which the State might
haze been committed. IL is TO be hoped
that long time will elapse before such
rampant densgogues as the self styled re.
formers will again have opportunity TO air
their few ideas in the House OF Represen-
! tatiyes OF Maine.

The Fusion press Of the State never
tire of crying down resumption aud
CRY ing up the hard times. Every failure
of business men is pointed TO with
chuckle. as if thew were delighted over
the prospect OF The ruin OF the business
and industries OF the country, and we
are assured by them that resumption
aud the shylocks are responsible for all
the woes TO which business of every
kind is liable. Witness the following
from the Bath COMMERCIAL
The "onist muny" papers once in
while break out with an item "promis-
ing signs of the return of prosperity =
aud when We look up the locality we
find the result TO be the failure of some
man of enterprise who could stand the
resumption" no longer.
The 'resump-
ton" papers have kept up the howl Of
returning prosperity for year or more,
and last year there were more failures
in the country than were ever known
before
Occasionally. however, items like the
following will find their way into the
pages Of one of these journals. We
quote from the Bangor Commercial:
The locomotive works of Patterson.
N j.. show somew hat how business is
Tevivlng. Before the panic they were
making 1000 locomotives q year. and
employing $500 men. Between 1873
and 1875 they reduced the force to 800
men. In 1875 they made only % en-
gines, in 1876 only 20, and in 1877 still
less. In 1878 they made il2. and this
,ear have already delivered % in less
than two months. They are employing
now 1909 hands"
Again,
"A very encouraging report comes
from Phiiadelphia that the iron-prod1cs
ing business il improving, the price OF
iron IN the city having advanced fifty
cents ton within 3 week. while q num-
Der of mills have orders TO their full
capacity for several months ahead. The
orders are for railroad iron. sheet and
bar iron and for heavy machinery
There is no surer thermometer OF the
state OF trade throughout the country
than the iron business When the iron
mills are croEded with work there will
be few idle factories ia the land"
All over the country the Industries OF
almost every kind have begun to revive
and the demand for labor is daily in.
creasing. Faith in the stability OF ouI
national finances has begun to snow
itself 10 this manner, and those who de
sire . seiurn to our former prosperity
will cease their cry about hard times
aud anitc with those who are ready 10
ssthauk God and take courage"

The Election.

The election on Monday passed Of
very quietly. The day was ore of the
finest of Spring DAYS, and quite a large
vote was polled. Neither party had
much hope of electing its candidate for
MAYOR a. there were three candidates in
the field. and II appeared 10 be pretty

should secure the majority of the Alder
men could. al a subsequent election.

fore chiefly made in this direction, and

packing by Democrats. as was done at
their previous caucus, they nominated

Davis. Since that time nothing has
been too severe for the straight or
crooked Democrat 10 say against the
Greeubacker and his party. The sud
den dying ont OF Democratic love for
Greenbacki-m is truly wonderful. Their
decoys have been called back into the
camp and the door has been shut with
bang. The Observation-Disclosures

Mr.. Davis. and the Republican candi-
dates for the other offices. The second
election for Mayor is called for Thurs
day The 18th inst, and already we hear
rumors that the Democrats propose to
give up The contest
Mr.. James +. Davis, the Republi.
can candidate, was the first Mayor OF
the city, and his efficiency in the admin
istration OF its affairs, as well a. the high
esteem in which he is held as citizen
aud business mar, made him the unani-
nous choice OF his party. Mr.. Horace
Davis. the Greenbsck candidate, has no
love for Democracy and We have no
doubt his influence will be thrown in
the next election with the Republicans
This election has shown very clearly
