Mr.. Calvin Edgerton, In the
course Of his fiippant harangue at
the Republican mass meeting Sat.
urday night, with a hardihood that
smacks Of the sublime, sssailed the
Democratic party because It could
not look without disgust at the
theft OF the Presidency In 1875.
DR.. Samuel Johnston once told the
story Of a fishmonger in tho Bill.
tingsgate market who. while skin
ming Nm eel alive, cursed 1t for
wriggltng. The Republicans who
pefpetrated the Presidential fraud.
not content with enjoying stolen
power aud emoluments, desire to
pierce the very hearts and con.
eclences Of honest men and pluck
therefrom the very sense Of right
and their natural aversion to
fraud. This Mr.. Edgerton lie very
email beer, indeed, as an orator.

notes Of . memorable infamy.

splendid Victory.

It ID with unspeakable exultatior
and pride that we point to the tele
grams which show that the Re.
publlcans, with Blaine at their
head have been routed, horse,
foot and dragons, In that old Re-
publican stronghold, Maine. Dur
ing the past six Presidential cleo
lions Maine has cast an average
majority Of "a, 4OS for the Republi.
can ticket. What fall is there,
Obi conntrymen Of Washington
and Hancock? We confess that
this result is so unexpected as to
dumbfound US. The whole money
and influence Of the Republican
party was concentrated In Maine,
and that Commonwealth has elud.
Cd it, grasp! The Democrats have
carried three out of the five Con-
gressmen. The States which Gar
held can hope to carry may be
numbered on the fingers of ones
hands, without exhausting both,
In the light Of this glorious victory.
When even Maine falters, what
States outside Of Vermont, Iowa
Massachusetts and Kansas are Ger.
tain for Garfield?

Who was probably elected Governor
Of Maine yesterday, was q gallant

foreshadows that of his greater
comrAde, Gen. Hancock.
