The Maine Brigands emptied the
State Treasury before the Supreme
Court routed them. Every dollar
which they could reach was taken,
and when the Republicans came into
power they found bankrupt Treas
ury. In recent speech in the AS
sembly, advocating the payment of
the $4,000 which the Garcelon raid
cost, the Hon. Eugene Hale specified
some of the grabbing which took
place. Every appropria'ion,h he said,
remaining oyer with a dollar, was
sliced by the Governor and Council.
He had occasion the other day to
look at an appropriation for the fe-
male visitors to the insane hospital,
and only about a third had been drawn
for its legitimate purpose, but every
dollar Of the other two. thirds had
been taken by the Governor and
Council for other purposes. One man
had drawn $1,000 from the high
school fund for advance work which
he had never done. Every appropri-

The result of the local elections in
Maine on Monday was as complete
vindication of the course CT the
Republicans and condemnation of
the Fusionists conspiracy as any
one could wish. Bath, Portland,
Lewiston, Saco, Rockland, SIX W.
hogan, Ellsworth, Auburn, and in
fact every town of any importance
in the state elected Republicans Off
cials, and everywhere the gSte of the
Democrats and Fusionists shows a
heavy falling off. Nothing could be
more gratifying TO the friends Of pure
elections and an honest count than
this prompt and decisive verdict of
the people on the issue involved in
the recent legislative struggle. 1t
proves conclusively that the Ameri-
can public are far from Indifferent to
the importance of preserving the in
tegrity of the ballot, and that defeat
prompt and certain awaits any party
that is foolish enough to resort to
fraud to secure temporary power.
The Fusionists, after the failure Of
their conspiracy, boldly proclaimed
that they would appeal their case to
the people; that appeal has been
taken, and the people have reaffirm-
ed the decision of the Supreme Court.
1t will be a long while before such
fraud is attempted again in Maine.

TRAMPS.-There is some action
proposed in the Maryland Legislature
at this session in regard to tramps,
which, if it be reasonable and prac-
ticable, will be of advantage to the
people of the State. AS States adj
joining US have adopted tramp laws
which may drive confirmed and dan
gerous yagaDonds and rowing thieves
from the borders, such characters
may seek refuge in Maryland if we
do not have proper | avs for the pro-
lection of our own people. Connec.
ticut having adopted a tramp law
last year similar to that enacted in
Pennsylvania by its last Legislature,
the Hartford Courant has undertaken
the work of collecting information
regarding the effect of the law. The
inquiries had two objects in view
one to ascertain whether the law had
had the good effects anticipated, and
SeCOIlu, WlleIC an OuC Iltu SuhClSu
unjustly by the enforcement of its
provisions. Selectmen in all parts Of
the State agree in their answers to
these questions, and say that the ef-
feet of the law has been to rid their
neighborhoods Of the tramp nuisance,
while, so far as their observation
shows, no honest man in search Of
work has suffered by its enforcement.
OF course there should be such dis
elimination always as will prevent
injury to the real seeker after work,
and it is stated that the laws of the
States above named are so framed
that there is not much reason to fear
that they will ever be made an in
strument for the oppression OF honest
workmen in search of employment
but any law that we may have ought
to be of service in protecting society
from the vagabonds and criminals
who; pretending to be in search of
work, are simply professional ma
raudets and thieves.

The total vote is the largest ever cast in
the state; the republican plurality for gov
ernor is the largest ever given; the repub-
lican majority for governor is the largest,
and the democratic disgust and disappoint-
ment call for the commiseration of gods
and men.
In 1872 the republican majority for gov
ernor in September was 1888. In the
same year, in November, GRANTS majority
was 30,554. We therefore have n right to
expect more than a GRANT majority for
GARFIELD. We will get it, too.
OF course we knew beforehand that Yer
mont would give a large republican major
ity. But it was important to show that the
nomination of union general to lead the
rebel hosts had not drawn any strggglers
from our ranks to those of the enemy. This
has been proved. Our men were MS steady
rs their own granite bills. 1t was i'm
portant to show that greenbaclsism had
subsided, and that the grand results Of re-
publican resumption had laid the busy
devil of dishonest finance. This has been
proved. The greenbackers have practically
disappeared, or have found their own place
in the ranks of the repudiatng democracy
1t was important to show that the apathy
and distrust of 1874 and 1876 in the repub.
hcan ranks had been succeeded by enthu.
siasm and confidence. This has been
shown. The increased total vote and the
fact that nearly the entire increase, reach.
ing nearly ten per cent. of the vote of 1876
has been added to the republican vote
indicate that the set of the tide is TOWARD
an overwhelming republican success il

POLITICAL NOTES.

THE democratic boom dropped out of sight
as suddenly as the fifteen puzzle.
THE Hancock soldiers in Vermont were all
in the guard-house, and didn't vote.
"BALDY sMITH's state seems TO have sat
down on him very heavily, as II were.
No major.generaps uniform-bowever large

COLONEL JouN II. SAVAGE, in speech to
the people of Memphis not long since, said
that he was willing to pay the state dobt in
niggers at thousand dollars head"
A LATE indianapolis Journal contains an
nouncements of $50 republican meetings TO bo
held within the next two weeks in Indiana, at
| which forty.six different orators will speak.
A SOUTHERN editor apologizing for General
Hancock having aided in killing so many
southern democrats during the war says che

West Branch region"
BEFORE the Vermont election the New
York Herald frequently said that il the repub
lican majority fell below $4,000, the decrease
would measure the republican detection occas
ioned by tho personal popularity Of Han
cock" Tho Herald is so well satisfied tina
this sort of gauge reduces Hancock's persona
popularity to the nothingness of his politica
record, that it has nothing to say. And to sa.
nothing about nothing i5, perhaps well ant

DEMOCRATIC ESPECIAL" INFoRsIA-
TlON.

The democratic organ Of this city yester-
day informed its readers by Especial dis
patches from Vermont that the republicans
"only held their own,' that tho returns
"show handsome democratic increase"
that the republican majority was less
"than in 1s7G,n and that the result is q
democratic victory substantially" 1t is
upon such information as this that the
HANCOCK boom is kept alive. The real
figures as received by telegraph are pub
lished in the same column W ith the "spe-
"cial," as follows; FARNHAM rep, As, ,s23;
PHELPS (dem.), 2OT17; HEATH (green-
back, 1850. FARNHAM's majority over
all, 2G,576. In 1876 FAIRBANKS (rep) had
majority of 23,672. So the republican
gain over the vote of 1876 is 1904.
In this report there are twenty towns to
hear from, and the same relative gain in
them would give the republicans majority
OF 2G,936 over all. Comparing the repubh-
can vote with the democratic vote only the
majority against the democrats is % ,56G, as
against %, 3,s3S for HAYES in 1S76-a gain

TIE AspECTs IN MAINE.

The indications from Maine lead us to ex-
pect an old-fashioned republican majority in
that state on Monday next This will not
only insure the succession Of Senator HAM
LIN by republican, but the replacement in
congress Of the acknowledgements
LADD, and the communist-greeubac
MURcH, by radical republicans-the former
by union soldier, Captain c. A. BoUTELLE
Of Bangor and the latter by SETH J.,
MTLLIKIN. The candidates for tho sena-
torship are understood TO be EUGENE
HALE, W. p. FRYE and General CHAMBER
LAIN. During the campaign about to close
Senator HAMLIN has been constantly in
the field, upon the stump and rostrum, day
and night, indoors and out, doing work
exceling even that Of his younger days,
his speeches, like the one made at Bangor
last winter, when the steal of the state by
the democracy was defeated, going through
the ranks of the enemy like Hotchlziss
shells, rending and tearing from them the
old clothes Of the union soldier, in which
they have endeayored to disguise and have
enshrouded themselves, and exposing to
view the ancient copperheads" concealed
therein AS, when vice. president, he en-
listed aud marched in the ranks with the
"Boys in Blue as private soldier, so in
this campaign has he joined the Veteran
club Of Bangor and marched in the ranks
with the rest of the boys, keeping ster
"tO the music OF The union with the
youngest of them.
There Rre few, if any, senators who can
accomplish for their states more in less
time than Senator HAMTIS, and it is to be
hoped for the honor and good of the repub-
lican party Of Maine, as well as that OF
the nation, that he may be returned to his
old place in the senate. AS it is probable

nELsHA ZZAn AND BELTZHooyER

If Mr.. BELTzHoOvER of Pennsylvania
does not understand himself any better
now than when he first entered upon his
duties in the extra session of congress it is
not at all surprising that he should deny
his own signature to the letter which in
informed one of his constituents that
he could 10 nothing with pen
sion case, for the reason that the
rebel brigaders in congress were op-
posed to pensions When he first entered
congress he did so with a parade of his
independence of action. He declared that
nothing could induce him to act and
vote with these southern brigadiers,
but he was soon so thoroughly ma
nipulated that he became an obse-
quious follower of their lead. They had no
more obedient slave to their behests, after
a short period of swaggerng independence,
than Mr.. BELTZHoOyER, and from that time
down to the present hour he has kept faith
full step to the music. He fancled himself
a firm and consistent resistant of
the schemes of the conlederates in
the house, but when the hour of trial
came he did not weigh up well in the scale.
