Come to think of it we always cher

was place upon which to wear "a
hat, and that the great army of wo.
men would eventually awake to a
happy realization of the fact. OF
course its bound to look little odd

married women going round with
their hats stuck upor their heads,

TEE MAINE ELECTION.

The consteI nation and dismay
Thich has seized the Republicans,
since the result in the recent Maine
election, can better he imagined thar
described. The actual plurality of
the Fusion candidate for Governor
is, at the present writing, not known.
but will probably be above one thou.
sand. To Democrats, not less than
to the Republicans, is this an un-
looked for victory.
Both sides, it is true, had made an
unusually vigorous canvass, but the
odds in speakers and campaign funds
were on the side of the Republicans.
Whether the Republicans again sue
coed by fraudulent count in over.
coming the plurality of the Fusion
lists, is of small moment in compari
son with the moral influence that the
immense gains of the Fusionists will
exercise in the coming October cleo
tons. The astounding changes in
The political sentiments of Maine vo-
tiers, is exhibited by contrasting this
defeat Of the Republicans with the
September election of 1876. In the
State election of that year the actual
Republican majority was 1870
In the election just held, they are in
a minority, and have elected but
three out of five members of Con.
gress, while Mr.. Blaine had predict
ed majority for the Republicans
of at least 1000. 4
Notwithstanding the triumph in
1876 of the Republicans in Maine, it
was followed BY the loss of New
York, New Jersey, Connecticut and
Indiana, in the month OF November.
Their leaders now foresee the defeat
of Garfield, and their canvass in In
diana and Ohio has been almost par.
allied. Indiana is now certain, and
the chances of Democratic success
in Ohio were never better than at the
present time. The first week Of Oc
tober will see the great struggle for
the Presidency virtually settled, and
there are but few who can now doubt
what the result will be.
1t is indeed gratifying to note the
manifest disposition of the masses at
the North to condemn the men and
measures which have so long tri
umphed by keeping alive the animos-
tiles Of the war, and to consign them
to that oblivion which is now near
at hand. ~ ="
