The enormity Of the theft of the
state is the better understood when It is
known that the people rejected the

knsjofpty yBut being rejected they did
not propose to be banished, and SO con-
spired together and accomplished the
oyertmning OF tie wilto 81 1.-THE people,
which was too Plainly suppressed to be
misunderstood.

Now that the democracy of Maine
have stolen the state and have a major-
|fty In both the senate and house, 1t be-
comes interesting to inquire as to what
they are going TODD. nc is anthpossi-
BILE task to tell what all they will ac-
|compIish, but the most important ARE
already known. They will in the first
place elect a Democratic governor, and
democratic state officers generally; they
will elect a democratic United States
senator q snccee1 q nni6l Hauiin,
whose tern expires next March; they
will change the laws of the state, re-
sps6tine the mode OF Rejecting presiden-
tial electors and appointthem BY and
through the legislature; and they are
Iiable.to do most anything shortof Sc
ceding from the United States govern
The-parampunt Importance of the
lissues.as stake was realized by the peo-
Pile Of Maine, and they Eralliedx grandly

BE system OF fraud. But the Immense

and they fell iThey fell on the returns
with fraudulent intent and stayed their
fury only when a certain and reliable
opposition majority was assured.

the success of thesrepuhiican party next

the action OF the Maine democrats. The
people Of the north will rally strongly,
intent upon rebuking this great fraud,
and tho campaign wiz Prove an aggres-
sive one for the republicans. Then
thefact of the Name legislature pro-
yiding for the appointment Of presiden-
itial electors win also prove anJelection-
eering boom forthe republicans. May,

dent for New York, New Jersey, Con-

states metropolitan legislatures and
governors TOR a two-thirds majority to
do the same thing. There is no other
remedy left. If one state is to be made
democratic by the legislature simply
because t1at body has thespower, 10 is
just as consistent and-riaht fersths3eg-
islatures Of all states to appoint presi-
