In our comparison of republican gains and
losses, we have remarked that Old Oxford
bears of the palm--making larger republi-

The credit for this magnificent victory is
due first of all to the great body Of working
republicans in Oxford, whose names are
more than four score. Next to these the ex-
cellent republican organ in that county-the
Oxford Democrat,--and the very efficient
county member of the State committee, Hon.
Geo ID. Bisbee of Buck6eld, who had per-
sonal charge of the canvass, our thanks art
due for this magnificent result. Oxford has

JAMES A. GARFIELD
OF OHIO.
Now for Indiana.
FOR PRESIDENT,

&NOW AOh AsssAssessS-
The election to take place in October in
Indiana now absorbs public attention. All
eyes are watching the contest as it goes on
II possible the fight is hotter than it was
in Maine. The ablest men, the best
speakers OF both parties, are taking part
in the struggle. as though national
supremacy hung in the scale, Undoubt-
eddy great things depend upon the result
II the republicans shall be victorious Gar
field will be the next President. On the
other hand democratic victory would help
the Hancock cause. To whichever side
the scale inclines a great advantage will
follow.
The reports from this great battlefield
are cheering to republicans. The best OF
counsel has been had in the formation OF
plans. and the management OF the cam
paign has been well ordered and is being
wisely and theoretically carried out But
our opponents are not behind us in activ-
ity, and have leader of experience and
the most ample pecuniary means, also
with the Vice Presidency as his reward if
he succeeds. No stone will be left I'M
turned by either party in the important
struggle-certainly not on the part of Mr..
English and his friends. and the republi-
can leaders we trust will be equally as
determined. vigorous and effective in
their canvass as the opposition, for defeat
on this field will be well-nigh ruinous to
the prospects Of the party, in November,
that suffers it.
The great source of anxiety to the re-
publicans is the border next Kentucky.
From the latter State the democracy have
been accustomed to send parties over in
to Indiana and "colonize" the towns along
the border to whatever extent was neccs-
sary TO achieve democratic success in the
October elections. They are trying that
game this year. but the watchful eyes Of
the republicans are upon those engaged
in carrying out this project. and will
check them to some extent If not entirely.
One thing is certain. if this fraud sue
ceeds In October it may not succeed in
November, for then Kentucky will need
her forces at home to attend to their own
election. and the republicans Of Indiana
will fight them at better advantage than
in the State election.
While the republicans of Maine are
watching with interest the course of the
struggle in Indiana. let them also look at
their own organization at home. and
neglect no measures necessary to full
and victorious vote at the polls in Novem-
Der. We have sharp struggle to make
in this State and let them not forget it.
The late election warns us to be up and
doing. in every town and city throughout
the State. We must and will carry the
State. but we must work gallantly and
faithfully to do it.

A Horse Distemper In Boston.

Owners of horses in and about Boston are
seriously disturbed by the prevalence OF
rapidly increasing distemper among these
animals, which in many instances, incapaci-
tates them for work. The symptoms are
not unlike those noted at the the time OF the
famous and widespread epizoOtic in the WIN
ter Of 1875. Languidness seizes upon the
animal, followed by coughing and sneezing
and discharge Of darkish yellow mucous
from the nostrils. In some instances the
horses suffer from swellings in the throat, and
extreme measures are necessary to avert
fatal results. The number Of sick horses
one week ago was comparatively few; to-day
it is estimated that nearly One-third OF al
the horses in Boston are more or less affected.
A corporation which has in its stables l6o
horses, reports so suffering from the distem'
per, and q large proportion Of those in livery
and boarding stables all over the city are
also i'll, though many so slightly as still to be
available for work The distemper prevails
very extensively in the stables of the horse
railroad corporations, and in the crowded
thoroughfares horses are heard coughing and
sneezing. The surgeons attribute the malady
to the peculiar condition of the weather, and
believe that, while it is spreading. the num-
Der of fatal cases will be comparatively few.
Several deaths in the stables of the horse
railroad companies are reported.

TIE GREAT SOUTHERN COMET.

lFrom tho Melbourne Argua.l
The comet mentioned In the last sum-
mary as having been seen for FIRST tino
on Feb. 2, has passed out OF view Ito
the naked eye). During tho time tho
tail was at it's brightest stage tho evcn-
ing sky was usually hasy, owing to
the prevalence Of southeast winds,
which, In the latitude of Melbourne,
are accompanied by haze at this time
OF the year. While, therefore, the tail
of the comet, which formed an angle of
so degrees with the horizon, could be
distinctly seen, tho nucleus was always
hidden behind a low cloud-bank. DR..
Bone, an amateur observer at Castle
maine, where the air was clearer, was
able to Ak the place OF the nucleus
some days before any data could be OBJ
tained at the Melbourne Observatory.
When first seen the tail of the comet
appeared as a bright streak, twenty
five degrees In length. Each succeed
ing night the tail grew longer, but at
the same time fainter, until in about
ten days It faded out Of sight. Tho
! nucleus on the 10th was exceedingly
faint; still with n good telescope tho
tail could be traced for some distance
from 1t. On tho 14tb It was still faint
| er, and even with tho great telescope
the tail could only be seen as thin
wisp extending eastward from tho
head for couple OF degrees. The head
itself appeared simply as faint nebu-
lous mass, with a slight central con-
densation. 1t Is impossible to say
whether this comet is new one, or
one which hns been seen Mt a former
periheiion passage, until tho elements
Of its orbit have been computed, and
for that purpose further measures of it's
position are necessary.
