Maine Republican.

When Governor Robinson and Mr. John
Kelly meet ut Syracuse tomorrow they will
be able to compare notes about the result in
New York follow the example of the Pine
Tree State.
The republicans appear to have carried
Maine. They have, if the news received
early this morning may be credited,
carried the Legislature, and thus insured
the election OF their Governor, thus regain
ing what they lost last yoar.
We shall now read in the democratic or
gans elaborate articles giving numerous
reasons to account for this result. We rec
ommend to them the example of gentle
man who was called to account for not
keeping dinner engagement. II have sew
enteen good and sufficient reasons to give,'
got all about it." He was not asked to re-
cite the rest, and IL the democratic organs
will only confess that the leaders Of their
party do not know what the people want
they may save themselves the recital of all
the other reasons for this second demo cratic
defeat within a week.
The country is ready to drop the republic
can party; 1t is ready tor change; but 1t
does not mean to change for the worse.
And how poorly it thinks of the democrats
is shown by what in Maine the voters have
accepted from their opponents. The most
stalwart political doctrine has been
preached there from every stump
The republican speakers have secuted at
new policies, have never mentioned
reform, and have dwelt mainly on the

and harmony in the North are unnecessary;
in giving rein to the enterprises of dema-
gogues and designing leaders whose strug-
giles for predominance demoralize the
party, and who accustom it to disregard
principles, and to seek only for success at
all hazards.
If the democratic party were to-day un-
able to count on the votes of the solid
South its leaders would be forced to appeal
to the voters of the whole country with
sound democratic principles, and while
they might slough off some rotten boroughs
they would at once secure the confidence of
the country, and their internal quarrels
would come to an end.in the face of the
real and manly struggle they would have
to make.
AS matters stand they may as well give

their minds to see Mr.. Conkling seated as
