IT is stated that the Democrats made
a more energetic and vigorous campaign
in Vermont this year than they have
done at any time since the war. They
did not, of course, hope to carry the
state, but they did expect much from
the moral effect of a reduced Republic
can vote and majority. But the moral
effect is the other way.

THE Washington Republican of Tues
day, Sept. Z, recalls a speech made by
Joe Blackburn, of Kentucky. (who has
been so highly commended by the Free
Press to the Democrats of DetrOit) after
the election of Sam Randall to the speak
ership, delivered in front of Blackburn's
boarding house on Ninth street, Wash
ington, in response to serenade, in
which Blackburn said: Happy days
are dawning for the south. The
heel Of the oppressor and the iron hoofs
of war shall be removed from her be-
loved but PROSTATE form. Her cry has
been heard; her star is in the ascendant.
From helpless minority she has come
to powerful majority, achich aciU dare
to apply heroic remedies. The vio-
lent, oppressive, and unararranted consti-
tutiOnal amendments and la,us of the ty-
ranical north shall be auiped from on,
statute books. she will stay with you in
the effort until not one stone of yonder
proud capitol is left upon another.

CATCHING THE Idea

Tho star of James G. Blaine
has set as a Presidential candidate. If
they Swan, Hartman and Clark were
really bribed by the leading Maine Re-
publicsns, if the agent, one White, when
he went to fetch the money, was tracked
straight to Blaine's house, then of course
Blaine is politically dead. He vehement
ly denies the charge. But unfortunate
ly Blaine's record is not spotless. He
quite as vehemently denied the charge
that when the Speaker Of the National
House Of Representatives, he had ever
used his position to benefit himself. Yet
it was pretty clearly proved that he did
do this very thing, and particularly in
the case Of an Arkansas railroad, 10000
of whose shares he accepted to help its
subsidy through Congress. Mr.. Blaine
is, we fear, not 80 pure, that his simple
denial will avail against strong circum.
stantial evidence. And let us frankly
admit the evidence in this case is strong
The affidavits of two men who name
their man; the tracing of these men to
the White House; their confident dec.
laration telegraphed from Republican
headquarters before the Legislature met,
that these men, Hartman and Swan,
would refuse their seats; and finally, the
strange conduct of Hale, Blaine's friend,
staying in the Legislature after the other
Republicans had withdrawn, to prevent
quorum; conduct which can easiest be
explained on the supposition that Hale
calculated on some of these bought Fu-
sionists staying away. This is the chain
of evidence that must shake the faith of
even tolerably strong champions of the
Plumed Knight of Maine. n
The people of this country have depre-
Gated an insurreCtion in Maine. They
have urged the Maine Republicans to
use pesceable means to prevent the tri-
umph Of fraud. But when they hear -
if they do hear-that the Republican
leaders of Maine, with threatenings of
bloodshed in their mouths, have resort
ed to corruption, they will rather wish
that they had taken the nobler, manlier
way of righting their wrongs by the use
of powder and ball, and despise those
who preferred the meaner and worse way

LIVING WITHOUT EATING.

DR.. VIM. A. Hammond, of New York
has been challenged to submit his theo.
ries about the length of time human
being can live without physical nourish.
ment to a public test. The challenge
has been made through Minnesota pa
per by a DR.. H. s. Tanner, of Mlnneapo.
lis, who offers himself as the subject OF
the test. DR.. Tanner claims to be able
to live in comfort without food for at
least thirty days, and that he has twice
publicly submitted to test, each time
maintaining life, consciousness, health,
and the ability to take physical exercise,
although totally abstsining from food for
the extraordinary period of forty-two
days. He asserts that DIR. Hammond is
all wrong in his published opinions
about the power of the human system to
endure long fasts DR.. Hammond, how.
ever, says he never claimed under any
circumstances that it was impossible for
a human being to live without food for
thirty days. There are over dozen
we'll authenticated cases of persons liV.
ing forty days and over without food.
Men have been confined in coal mines
and lived at least thirty days without
food. Men have lived without food
more than thirty days while buried in
avalanches. Insane persons have lived
without food for even longer terms. So
have hYsterical women, DR.. Hammond
says If DR.. Tanners proposition includes
abstinence from water he Is inclined to
deny the possibility Of Its being success.
