For CONGRIss.
JOHN A. ANDERSON.
for District judge.
DAVID MARTIN.
Maine.

The first news from Maine looked decidedly
billions for the Republicans The Fusion Governor
was reported, elected by decided majority, three
Fusion members of Congress, and the Legislature
in doubt The next day, the GOvernorship was
somewhat closer, of the defeated Republican
Congressman turned up with majority, and the
Legislature was evidently Republican. The
latest reports received before going to press,
show large Republican majOrities in both branch
es Of the Legislature, the election of three Re-
publican Congressman, leaving the delegation as
in the present Congress, and the GOvernorship
very close, with the chances in favor Of the Re-
publicans as the back precincts are now coming
in, and the Fusion strength was principally In
the cities and pOpulOus districts, containing
large floating and doubtful vote.
The Republicans expected n mere decided VIC
tory in Maine, but had everything to contend
against. Ii was absolutely necessary for the
Democrats to have something, however slight,
TO cheer their disheartened followers, and give
them courage to continue the fight in Ohio and
Indiana therefore, money was scattered un-
spsringly, and everything bought up that was
purchasable. They had the benefit of every
thing in Maine-DemOcrats, Greenbackers, Pro-
all combined on ticket, and that very proha-
bly, n failure. 1t leaves Maine still certain for
Garfield, and affords but poor encouragement
for the Democracy. 1t has not discouraged the
Republicans particle, nor marred their belief
in the triumphant election of Garfield.
wHOOPEE --latest from Maine. Davis is
elected by over 900 majority. The Fusionists
had their reioieings before the back towns were
heard from. Hancock sent dispatch to Plaisted,
congratulating him upon the victory, and telling
how it would infuse courage into their
friends elsewhere. Hancock crew before it was
daylight.
Say, Democrats, have you heard from Maine
If you cannot win 10y combining with Greenhack-
crs, Prohibitiopists and everything else, in a
little State like Maine, you haven't got half the
chance, in November, of bob-taied bull in fly
time!

rFY- The checklist part of the Maine business,
is the Democratic papers growing over the glo-
rious Democratic victory. The fact is, the Dem
ocratic PARTY in Maine is below the Greenback
marty in strength. Plaisted, the Fusion candi-
date for Governor, is a Greenbacker; 80 are the
two Fusion Congressman who are elected; and
So were nearly all the candidates on the ticket.
But it all goes as a Democratic victory. But,
after all, they may not have been 50 far wrong,
if there had been Fusion victory. All these
mercenary, fanatical or mushroom parties inva-
riaby take sides against the Republicans, and
all their movements lead toward the campof the
Democrary

How DOES THIS SIT ON YoUR SToMACH'-Re-
ports of the Maine election contain the informa-
tion that the Prohibition party, after making
a campaign up TO the eve Of the election, sud-
denly abandoned their ticket, and east their
votes with the FusiOnists, in the glorious effort
to defeat the Republican party. party insig-
nifcant of itself, yet having enough votes to
turn the scale in close election, rallies at the
last hour, to aid party that has always opposed
it, to beat the Republicans. The effect of the
Maine election, it was understood, would he to
encourage the party Of Freedom and the Union,
OF give renewed courage to the party of Rebel
lion and Oppression. The Prohibitionists march
ed mp and cast the weight of their votes to
strengthen the friends Of Rebellion, Fraud and
Tyranny. 1t is the course these parties founded
upon fanaticism always pursue. Here in Kan
sas this Prohibition party has foisted itself upon
the Republican party, and is seeking to drag
itself through as an attachee of the party. Yet
when proper opportunity offers, ,r will turn
against the party, and attempt to rend it, as it'
friends in Maine and other States have done
The Republican party cannot too soon shake of
this imposition, and cease to give it strength t.
destroy the party upon which it is fattening.

of Douglas County allowed the Temperance mo-
nomaniacs and the negroes to send Sid. Clarke
as n delegate to the State Convention, I" force
ST. John upon the party again. Now he comes
up backed by the same crowd, demanding to be
nominated for State Senator, and threatening to
bolt and beat the whole Republican ticket, from
Haskell down to County officers, if the Rcpubl-
cans do not nominate him. As they have not
done so, they will probably have fight on their
hands. This will afford an opportunity for some
good man, like Gov. Robinson, to slide in he
