WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.
Editor Democrat.
The "Fusion" gain in Maine is
SO great-an increase Of sixteen or
seventeen thousand in four years
TINT people arc at a less to nc
count. for it. Two or three facts
may be mentioned which all adj
nit had something TO do with the
gain. One is the fact that Senator
Blaine is becoming unpopular in
his own State as a party leader.
Another is that the people of
Maine are u reading people, and
begin to realize that they arc not
in reality bound to support war
measures after a war has been over
for fifteen years. Another reason
and one that our Republican
friends will do well 10 hced-is
this: As soon as those opposed to
the Republican party had selected
General Hancock as 4 Presidential
candidate, and General Plaistcd as
a candidate for Governor, certain
papers and politicians Of Maine
commenced a campaign of SANDER
against these mon. Hancock, they
said, was not ut Williamsburg, or
Gettysburg, or at any other place
where a battle was fought. Plais-
ted, they said, was a coward, and
robbed his soldiers, etc, etc. Now
though tho people Of Maine are
convinced that the war is over, and
are glad Of it, they lave a pride
in The reputation Of the Union side
in that war, and no, sooner did this
stream Of SANDER begin 10 flow
than the voters of Maine began to
espousc the cause Of the soldiers.
They did this the more vigorously
because the men who run the Rad
ical Campaign Blaine, Frye, Hale
and the like-were in the Army
only by substitute, if at all. The
exodus from the Radical party in
Maine has only commenced, II
will increase every day until No
vember 2nd. Az this writing, one
week after the election, there seems
10 be no doubt that Plaistcd is
elected. and that such case will
be made before tho United States
House Of Representatives as will
givea seatto the Democratic can
didatc from the first District, so
that three Conservative Congress-
men will sit in the House after
March 4th next, 10 support Pres
ident HancocE's administration.

they were not sufficiently full, he
prepared or had prepared additions

result was that West Fcliciana
