Press Comments.
Chicago, Sep. 13.-The Times says:
The success Of the fusion ticket in
Maine will not only be source of pro-
found astonishmeut to the whole coun-
try, but will 60 long way toward set
tling the presidential contest in ad-
vance. Its influence will be felt espe.
cially in Indiana, where the scale is al
most evenly balanced, and where it
needs nothing more TO turn the bal
ance sharply In favor Of the democrats.
1t will give the canvass for Hancock
everywhere new life and vigor. The
result shows that the majority of the
people Of the state, long republicans,
are willing to abandon the republican
party, and are convinced that the coun-
try Is in no danger of subjugation by
rebel brigadiers.
New York, Sep. 13.-The Tribune
says: The result will be somewhat Of q
disappointment to the republicans and
lead them out Of their over-confidence.
It also draws attention to the fact that
there will be no fusion against the re-
publicans in November. The writer
continues: The refusal of large pro-
portion Of the voters of the state to
condemn the grossest crime ever at
tempted against an honest ballot is
another proof that there is no iniquity
which the democratic party will not
approve to elect the democratic ticket.
The Staats Zeit,mg says that the un-
expected reverses Of the republicans in
Maine win have o very discouraging
effect In Indiana and Ohio as well rs
the Pacific states. and claims the result
as democratic victory.
