THE MAINE VICTORY.

The glorious result in Maine is in
spring Republicans everywhere te
renewed efforts for victory this fall
a. . preliminary to the gaand tri'
umph that awaits them next year. Il
proves to be q clear sweep, and the
best part Of It is that 1t kills the
Greenback psrty. Many persons
seem to think that because the Green
back candidate received so large a
vote that that party is likely to go
on as permanent institution. But
those who are familiar with the can
vass say that It is not 90. The Green
back party has done its biggest work
there, and meyer will conduct so
great a canvass again or poll so many
votes. Indeed, it will dwindle rap
idly to nothingness, and next year
the fight will be once more between
the Republican and Democratic par
ties, % of old. In that case there
can be no question of the result.
Everybody feels that Maine is once
more at the head of Republican
States, and will be impregnable to
all crazes like Greenbackism or all
disloyalty like Southern Democracy.
Everybody also feels that the country
is indebted to Senator Blaine for a
work which is not merely to help the
Republican party to complete powe.
in the nation next year, but is to pro-
mote the public credit and the restora-
tion of business prosperity. He con-
Quoted the campaign with wonderful
ability, inspiring bis followers with
his own courage and determination.
No State ever witnessed a campaign
which exceeded that ii spirit and in
the emphasis of its success; and
naturally the Republican party in
Maine is more than ever enthusiastic
over their great leader. Senator
Blaine will probably be in demand
in Ohio, New York and elsewhere,
to assist the Republican "boom."

A Distressing occurrence out of the
usual order took place yesterday on
the farm Of Mr.. Jacob Tilson, near
Union Corners, in the town Of Hyde
Park. A little son of Charles E.
Jewell, Of New York. was visiting at
Mr.. Tilson's, who is his grandfather,
and the lad yesterday went into the
orchard with Mrs. Tilson and was
getting apples from tree ON which
there was horpet's nest. One of the
bees alighted on the child's head and
stung him. He gave scream and
fell to the ground. He was at once
removed to the house and died in
about ten minutes. The mother oil
the boy was in this city at the time,

THOMASTON,

FRIDAY, March 49,
The Democratic caucus for the nomination of
candidates for town officers, and the Greenback
caucus for a like purpose, both met at Union
Hall on the same evening, Thursday last. The
Greenback caucus was first called to order by
P. M. Studley, and ex-Sher;ff Hills took the
chair. There was disposition manifested
among some of the leaders to take the beet
men of each party for the different town
offices; but those who had "an itching palm"
and wanted place were opposed to it. They
wished to run the party con their own hook"
as they expressed it, and there were SO many
aspirants for the different positions that it re-
minded one of Wards company that he raised
during the war-'sall brigadiers." 1t looked
at one time as if the caucus would end Sin con-
fusion worse confounded," but at last COM
mittee on nominations was raised, who
reported list of candidates, with the Great
Dissatisfied for one of the positions, "aud all
went merry as a marriage bell" The ticket
nominated is about equally divided between
the Greenbackers, Republicans and Democrats.
The Democratic caucus was conducted on about
the same principle, and ended in about the
same way.
The Republican caucus will be holden on
Saturday evening next.
