The Maine Middle,


"As ye sow we shall reap" is
maxim as fresh aud as true to-day as
twas centuries ago, when uttered by
the lips of inspiration. The Repub-
licans OF Maine have had their "chick-
ems come home 10 roost." with VEN
geance. Until late years they have
had mdisputed sway in the State.
They passed such laws as they wished
and had the count all to themselves.
Dcmoc rats had no showing whatever.
At the Gubernatorial election prior
TO the last the Greenbackers had
gained such n hold IN the State that
none of the several candidates re-
ceived a majority vote.
In this case the election of Gov
ernor devolves upon the Legislature.
The Greenbackcrs seeing that they
coull not elect their man united with
the Democrats and Garcelon the Dem
ocraic candidate was declared elect
ed. lie was inauguratcd and is now
the Governor. AT the recent cleo
hon the Republicans IN their desper-
alton used every means available,
fair or unfair, to succeed, and regained
tho Legislature. But hereby hangs
the tale. In their palmy days they
had passed law making il the duty
of the Governor and Council TO count
the vote. These gentlemen proceed
cd to do this according to law, but
the Republicans raised howl of des-
pair, knowing their wickedness would
be found out. An appeal was made
to the courts, which decided that
there was no law TO allow them TO
tamper with the returns. The count
went ahead aud all towns where fraud
or technical errors were found were
thrown out, and the result was that
the legislature Is rescued from the
Republicans after MI. The vote now
stands Fusionists 90, Republicans II,
in the Senate; and in the House the
FusionisIs rs, and tho Republicans
81. Twelve districts are without
representation. Certificates of cleo
ton have been issued and the legisla-
lure will be organized according to
the count of the Governor and Conn-
ell. Retribution has overtakcn them
and they must fall by The very laws
they passed TO Cypress the Democrats.
II is another case similar to that
where the fraudulent President had
his message stolen, as just reward
of his crime in stealing the office.
