MAINE

II will be a sorry defeat for BLAINE II
he has not carried his State. He is the
central figure in the great fight. With
defeat his prestige will be gone. Even
with victory, he but maintains his own.
Maine has been uniformly and regular
ly Republican since 1854 by majorities
varying from $1,000 down to 1900,
until last year, when there was a revolt
all along the Republican line, and the
vote for Governor stood; Republican
$3.50. Greenback Al ,404, Democratic
27.S72, or a Republican plurality OF
1915. and a combined majority against
the Republicans OF l2,757. Ii BLAINE
can count 10000 votes for his man, in
the State, he will have a majority and
be elected. But We opine, from present
indications, that he will have none TO
spare il he does il. The towns are not
giving such majorities for the Repub-
Leans as to give them assurance of vic
tory. The strength OF the opposition
is in the counties, and when that vote
begins 10 come in it will reveal either
the strength or weakness OF the opposi-
ton. 1t will require the full returns to

English Rails for America.

London News August ~
The Loamougcr states that a member OF
the Canadian Ministry, at present in
this country, has just given out orders
for $1,000 tons of steel rails, OF which
total, however, moicty is for delivery
several months ahead, and at higher
prices than the lots for immediate ship
mcnt. The orders have been appOrtion-
ell as follows: The Barrow company,
$4,000 tons; Brown, Baylcy Il Dixon,
Sheffield, $1,000; the West Cumberland
Iron and Steel Company, Workington,
10000 tons, and the DowlaiS Company,
Dowlias, 10000 tons Prices range from
q LIS. 6d. to q l9S. per ton, delivered
at Montreal-the lower price for this
years consignment. The same paper
states that nearly 10000 tons OF iron
rails have been purchased in South
Wales for the United States, at prices
mp TO 81 los. per ton, for immediate de-
livery. Scotch and hematite pig iron are
selling largely for America.

THE SYRACUSE CONVENTION.

u II
The New York Democratic Convcn-
ton will be held at Syracuse tomorrow.
The Convention will be composed Of
SS4 delegates, majority OF whom Will
support Gov. ROBINSON for re-nOmina-
ton, il present indications are reliable.
The delegates from the rural districts
are almost unanimous Tor ROBINSON.
BROOKLYN, on Thursday last, elected
thirtv.six delegates for ROBINSON. Il is
therefore, quite safe TO predict that he
will be the nominee of the Convention,
although 1t will be holly contested by
the Tammany Convention from New
York CITY. 4 surrender TO Tammany
would be regarded by the Democrats
very much like the surrender OF the
Saratoga Convention to CONELING, and
the result would be equally disastrous.
Robinson has made an acceptable exec
utive Ofiicerto the people generally. He
is not possessed OF many OF the elements
of popularity, and is not much in favor
with the politicians, but his past admins
tration of the office has given him a
strong hold upon substantial citizens Of
the state of all parties, and his renoml-
nation would not only call out the
Democratic vote, but would probably
draw many OF the disgruntled Republic
cans.

there will probably be no appropriation

SENATOR THURMAN AT CoLUM-
BUS.

To those who are in search Of political
information and desire to have COM
prehensive view of the issues between
the two great parties, we commend the
opening speech of Senator THURMAN at
Columbus, from which We publish lib
eral extracts this morning.
Like all the speeches OF the Ohio SEN
ator, it is clear, broad and logical. He
deals with the four great political topics
Of the time in a manner only possible
to one who has followed them from
their origin through the debates OF Con-
gress and knows the men and motives
that prompted them and gave them sup
port.
lie shows the animus of the men who
are seeking a centralized government;
the purpose OF the Administration par
ty in clinging to the statutes authoriz-
ing troops at the polls; the degree OF
partisan desperation manifested in the
manufacture Of laws for the control OF
elections; and the hOllowness OF SHER-
MANS claims upon the resumption OF
specie payments.
Ii is but faint praise TO say that this
is the best review of the issues and the
most profitable political reading that
has been given to the public this season.
