Then, what Is IA alne's Lessen.

Adapted from the + Examiner, Sept. IL.
Tho Republican victory in Maine is
pregnant with meaning. Republican
papers and orators may sneer and say,
"Wc didn't expect to carry the state" and
VIC believe them. 1t was not even among
the possibilities, and as far beyond their
reach rs the summit of Mount Blanc is
from the reach of the mules at its base.
But they did expect to reduce the Fusion
majority and with this object in view the
Republican leaders worked with universal
energy. Had they been successful, it
would have been heralded the country
over as a Republican victory. They
would have exclaimed at once that the
soldiers of Maine were for Garfield,
whereas the result of Mondays election
proves that they vote rs they shot and in
dorsc the nomination of Hancock.
This splendid victory tells the country
that the sturdy, intelligent, law-abiding,
patriotic people Of the Pine Tree state are
not satisfied with the Republican admins
tratiOn of affairs. They want change.
They arc not content with what they have
and virtually say: "Reform is necessary -
Instead of diminished vote, the vote is
increased, while the Republicans fail to
hold their own, Notwithstanding their
hcrculcan efforts.
There is everything encouraging in this
magnificent triumph in Maine. It will
strengthen the hands and hearts of Demo-
Gratis everywhere and especially in Ohio
and Indiana in October.

How Mr.. Blaine Surrenders Maine.

Four days before the election, Blaine
declares to Garfield that he had seventy
six thousand voters carefully counted
and set aside for the Republican ticket,
but when the election day came three or
four thousand OF them, alas had skipped
away and joined the Democratic forces :;
and the six thousand majority which Mr..
Blaine counted on so surely turned up
altogether missing. Mr.. Blaine has a
right to feel disguised at being so badly
treated. He has SO long been used to
consider the Republican voters of Maine
rs so many cattle owned by him, and to
look upon them with the eyes of the
Texas herier who expects his beasts to
submit once year to be driven into a
canal to he branded and counted . and
sold, that it is 10 more than natural that
Mr.. Blaine should feel that he has been
ill-treated by the voters who escaped from
the Republican pea after they had been
duly counted and labeled.
Mr.. Blaine, perhaps, does not see that
he is paying very poor compliment to
his followers in charging that they were
bought in the four days before the cleo
tiOn by money sent into the state for the
purpose by the Democratic national
committee. He is so accustomed to
think of them rs cattle that it does not
to him that he .spcrscS them by
imputiES to them any degree OF beaStG-
ness. Manifcstiy, on his showing the
Republican victcry in Maine, if it had
come out Us he expected it to come,
would have been secured with the aid Of
three OF four thousand men whose votes
We're for sale. If Mr.. Blaine had got
them, lie seems therefore to admit he
would have got them by purchase. The
Democrats, according to his understand
ing, Outbid him.
Whether Mr.. Blaine means to say that
he had made the first purchase of these
men, or that he had them four days be-
fore the election, because nobody had
then appeared to buy them, does not
much matter. The point of his :ltlmis.
sion is that Maine has been held as Il Re
publican state by the vote of men whose
ballots were in the market. We do not
see how, admitting this TO bc the case,
Mr.. Blaine helps his party by charging
it. 1t proves that the state is not Re
publican; which is all the Significance
that anyone ascribcs to the election of
Pi:iisted. Mir. Blaine admits the whole
issue: and ut the same time fouls his
own mest which it is said only Il very
dirty bird will do; and Mr.. Blaine has not
asnowy wlliencss Of reputation anyway.
His charge of corruption upon the DEM
Ocrats isa clear case of Satan reproving
sin.

THE tone Of the early bulletins from
Maine on Monday justified the word of
advice dropped by the IxTELLIGENCER,
in which sensible people were cautioned
to allow some margin upon the first
news. The associated press dispatches,
as published in the daily papers on the
evening of the election were anything
but encouraging to the Democrats, and
the predictions that the advices sent out
by BOutelle, defeated Republican candi-
date for Congress in the Fourth district,
would bear little scaling, were more
than verified by later returns, which
sent that Republican majority away be-
yond the vanishing point.

hurried to the pantry, where he was met
