TIE MINI ELECTION

The returns from Maine show that the Repub-
Hcaus have made great gains their vote of
last year. and that these gains are pretty uni
form throughout the State. Ii is not certain,
however. that they are sufficiently heavy to
give Davis, the Republican candidate for
Governor, clear majority over the
combined vote of Smith, the Greenbacker,
and Gareelon. the Democrat 4 large share of
the Democratic vote has gone over to Smith,
leaving Garcelon in n pitifully small
minority. The teal opposition vote, how
ever, holds Wen mp TO the figures of last
wear. and may exceed them by a trIfle
ID would seem as if the returns OF tie back
towns in PcnObscOt and Aroost0ok Counties, and
f,rup the Kennebec, where there are no tele
graphs, will be required to settle the ques-
ton whether Davis is elected by the
popular vote. 1t was in these towns
that the Greenbaekers made the heaviest in
road on the Republican vote last year, and
there the heaviest Republican gains may be
looked for The percentage of Republican
gain figured in the Portland dispatches may
therefore be expected to increase as the fuller
returns come in. According to the latest dis
patches last night the chances are about even
for Dayis's election.
The effects Of the remarkable campaign
thus ended will not be fully felt at
once. The Groenbackers have kept together
rather from obstinaey than cOnyictiOn-the
o5stinaey of men not willing to acknOwl-
edge their error, but in the heat of the
Presidential conflict next year their forces
viii doubtless melt away rapidly. Then, too,
it will pTobsbly he found that the Democrats,
by their unprincipled alliance this year
with the s0it-mOnoy party, have be-
come SO demoralized as 70 be inca
pable Of making vigorous fight, aud
the State will fall into the hands of the Re
publicans, who VIII regain their old superiority
without half the effort they have put forth this
year. Tie Republicans have made splendid
fight, and their thorough canvass of financial
questions has PROFESSIONALLY cut up the roots
of the Greenback heresy. although the
plant may appear TO be still in flour
ishing condition. In 1850 Mr.. Blaine and
his coadjutors viii find themselves faced
by nothing more formidable than a dis
tracted Democracy seeking to collect it's
scattered forces, and tO.bring them together
upon ground which 1t abandoned this year
TO run after a transient success in company
with the party of initiation and reputation.
The Maine Republicans may not have car
ried the State, but they have shown by their
work yesterday that their party got to
the bottom of the hill In 1873.
and has been gaining ground ever
since. IL they have not achieved a complete
victory this year. they are evidently on the
broad road to a triumph in 1880, which will
fully restore them to their old proud position

Our dispatches from Syracuse show that
there is no prospect of compromise between
the Tilden and Tammauy factions In to-mor-
rows Convention. Unless some new move

apparent Governor Robinson will he rencmi-
mated. The country Democrats are very fond
OF him, and will not consent to throw him

vention will find itself in bad dilemma. Its

the other hand. if he is nominated, the
powerful agency of Tammany III rolling up
majorities in New-York City must be dispensed
with a Democratic victory in this State,
with Tammany hostile or even mkewarm,
is an impossibility. A Democratic victory

Readers of the city papers are still daily
afflicted with details of the Park Commission
eIs' quarrel aud the legal proceedings in the
case of the Police Commissioners. The worst
OF both these Affairs is that We are not likely
to hear the last of them TO- weeks to come.
The Robinson men have scored a second
victory. First they captured the State Com
uittee at the Niagara Fails meeting, and now
they have secured control Of the hall IN SRA

prosperity, and the State will gain large
number of stable, law-respecting citizens.

drick B. Wnght's trip tn San Francisco.

tioual Law, now in session at Brussels, that
all countries should regard the destruction Of
submarine telegraph cables as an offence
against the law of nations. ia net likely to
find favor, in view of the important part
which tie telegraph plays in modern warfare.
In south America cable communication has
been interrupted during the present conflict,
and in all recent wars belligerents have un-
hesi.atiagly destroyed the telegraph wires.
The most that can be expected i q general
