BARNuM AND JEWELL.

The recent fight in Maine was not more
contest numerically between the Republic
cans and the allied Greenbackers and DEM
ocrats than it was trial Of generalship be-
tween Baruum, Chairman Of the Demo
cratic National Com nittee, and Jewell,
Chairman OF the Republican National Com
mittes. While Jewell is the better man
we must confess Barnum is the better pol
itican. The former Is stalwart Jealous and
conscientious. The latter is stal-art, IN
scrupulous and energetic. Jewell assumes
that all men are like himself; 80 does Bar
num. Barnum makes the best guess and
with plenty Of money judlciously expend-
cd buys up the mercenary voters while jew
ell stands by In Mortified and helpless
amazement Three weeks before the cleo
ton Maine was good for 5000 to 5000 ma
jority. The Democrats professed TO give
1t up and pulled off their speakers. The
Republicans did the same. Then Barrun
began to run In his money. The Maine
Republicans comprehended the game and

How 1t Was Gathered in by Democratic Mon
ey and Whisky.
BosroN, September 15.-Everybody Is
surprised at the result in Maine, TIT is to
say, assuming that the Republican party
has been defeated. Some sauguine Repub-
lioans insist that Davis will pull through
with the aid of the back towns and planta-
tions. This Ia the line Of reasoning: The
Democratic gains are in the cities ana
large towns and they bave been made oy
the liberal use of money. But it is no use
to attempt to disguise the fact that the
Republican party has suffered a defeat.
Even if Davis should pull through by few
hundreds it is practically defeat all the
same. The State has been claimed by the
Republicans by from five to seven Thousand
majority, and conceded by the Democrats.
The Republicans have beea deceived

ago 1t was publicly announced that the
Democrats had given up the State and sent
their speakers to Indiana, 1t was q cam
paign dodge-a lie. When it was publish
ed to the country that the Democrats had
given up Maine they entered upon the last
heat of the race with renewed courage and
vigor-the courage Of desperation and the
vigor Of rcpienshed treasury. Senator
: Blaine was anxious to show that his defeat
at Chicago entailed no soreness. He ben
