REPUBLICAN NOMINATIONS,
The Campaign.

There does not appear to be much doubt
bout which side the victory in Vermont
vas on. 1t gave the republicans of other
s.ates encouragement b it stirred up the
democrats to unus nal effort. As 20 Maine
we see no reason to change what we said
ltst week though the contest on governor
IS so close that there is no absolute GER
ti1ty of Paisted's having n plurality.
The other results are in favor of the
republicans. The constitutional amend
'nent which makes a plurality elect has
been adopted and if it is determined that
is application to last weeks election is
proper Mr.. Plaisted will probably be
s"vernor of Maineinext year.
The silliest thing we have heard is the
mingled brag and whine of Chairman
5arnum of the democratic national com
nittee about alleged keeping back of
returns in the interest OF republicans.
rhe performance however probably re-
ieves Mr.. Barnum and it doesn't hurt
anybody else. Mr.. Barnum might com
pile an interesting book about a free
ballot and 4 fair count. The history Of
his party from the Plaquemines fraud in
Louisiana in 1874 to the Garcelon business
of 1879 and the Alabama and Arkansas
elections of 1880 would beautifully point
his moral and adorn his tale. These sto-
ries are all extant if not writ in choice
Italian.
The Maine greenbackers held conven
ton yesterday and proceeded to nominate
fusion ticket for electors. Thereupon
a large number of the delegates boIted
and put straight greenback electoral
ticket in the field. There will be no
trouble about the electoral vote of that
state going for Garfield and Arthur and 50
far as the late election has any influences
in other states it will not be to the damage
of republicans.
The next struggle will be on the 18th OF
October in Ohio and Indiana. Both parties
claim both states, but it would be sur.
prise party if either should carry both OF
them. Should this be the case it would
virtually end the presidential contest, as
the republicans could not afford to lose
Ohio and the democrats would receive q
blow from which they could not recover
should Indiana 90 into the republican
line.
The chances are that Ohio will 90 re.
publican and that the democrats will re
tain Indiana, thus setting the real contest
of the campaign into New York in No
vember. The Indiana republicans are, il
is true, making vigorous fight and hope
to win, but the state has long been demo.
cratic, and victory there would be too
much to expect, at this distance at least
In New York the campaign is Just fair
" open. The democrats have patched up
their differences and the republicans were
never in better order or more determined.
Mr.. Conkling's speech on the evening OF
the 18th in New York city marked the
beginning of the real campaign speaking
for that state and it will be followed by
the most determined work till the polls
close on the ID of November. Last year
on a straight pull the republicans bea the
united democracy in New York by from
1000 to 5000 votes; ii y can do it agar
and we believe they VIII. And as goe,
New York so goes the Union.

times, advised her TO "go home to her

put the children out and teach school, or
something of that kind;" but she was a
woman of masculine ideas and in her
hour of need they came to the surface; 50,
instead of going home to her folks" she
took up the work that her husband laid
down. kept her children with her, paid "a
her husbands debts, and is to-day earning
a fortune AS fast as ever pair of woman 5
hands earned one. And through all her
years of masculine work she has kept her
purity. her gracious womanly ways, anc
her love for the quiet home life and joy.
Thank the Lord, and say it reverently,
for the woman of :. masculine ideas. y

NEW HAMPsHIRE.-The democrats last
week nominated Frank Jones, the very
popular Portsmouth brewer, for governor.
Mr.. Jones, they hope. will make the fight
lively against Charles II. Bell of Exeter,
the republican candidate. The New
Hampshire republicans are in the habit of
disappointing the expectations that their
democratic opponents are wont to indulge
in, and can be trusted to give good &C
count of themselves on the I'd of Novem

The Hancock and English club of SPRING
field, Vt, publish a statement in regard to
the late election in that town in which

following shocking case of republican
bull-dozing:

trick played on some young voters. AS
they were about to vote, a republican saws

and game law, and was u copperhead in
war times. you don't want to vote for him,
you can vote the democratic ticket lust as
well and leave his name off" So we run
four behind on the state officers.
This is the worst case of intimidation
mentioned.
MASSACHUSETTS. The campaign in
Massachusetts is at last fairly under head
way. The republicans are running Gov.
John A. Long for reelection, while the
democrats, throwing over Ex-Gov Gas
ton, will vote for Charles Thompson.
Gen. Butler has gone back to the demo-
cratic party after his marked absence of
twenty years. He will doubtless find
himself better able to take care of the
rebel brigadiers by getting so much
nearer TO them. And the Massachusetts
republicans will find it a great deal easier
to take care of Benjamin now that be is
where he belongs.

THE BANNER COUNTY While Windsor
county is entitled to the banner for the
handsome increase of republican vote and
majority in the late election, Addison
county,as heretofore, is the banner county,
for the largest percentage of republican
votes.
Windsor's aggregate vote is S,l27
Her republican vote is 6l67
Addison's aggregate vote is 505i
Her republican vote is 41Ss
That is to say, the republican vote Of
Addison county is eighty per cent of the
otal, while that of Windsor is seventy
five per cent. There are probably no two
counties in the United States that can
equal either of these percentages.

The DEMOCRATIC SPLIT IN VIRGINIA.
The efforts for a compromise between the
two democratic factions in Virginia have
resulted in a signal failure, and both the
state committees have adjourned sine die
after deciding to draw up an appeal to the
democratic voters. 1t is now seen tina,
the only way to make the electoral vote
of Virginia sure for Hancock is for the
regulars or funders to withdraw their
electoral ticket, and this they declare they
will not do
Fred Douglas, who has returned from a
campaign trip through thirteen counties in
Indiana, says: The prospects of success
in that state are very hopeful. There are
abundant evidences that we gain strength
daily, and that our opponents fail TO hold
their own. 1t is my impression that the
republican vote will not only be large,
but the increase will cause surprise to
many persons. belive that our chances
of success are two to one better than those
of the democrats.

The first frost of the season came night
before last. The dry warm weather
which has prevailed the most of the time
for several weeks past had prepared
everything for its advent so that no harm

day now until the frost king comes, locks
up the ground and bids us lay by until

A revised statement of the losses under
different administrations shows that in the
receipts from all sources, including GUS
lows, internal revenue, direct tax, public
lands, miscellaneous dividends on interest,

WASHINGTON. ID. C., Sept. 1

WASHINGTON, d. C., Sept. Is, 1880.
The news from Maine has created Il
considerable panic among office holders in
Washington, and the panic was no doubt
extended to every federal office holder in
the country. The number of office holders
of all grades throughout the Union may
be stated in round numbers as one hun

Il change in the national administration
will throw hals million of persons out
of house and home and reduce the larger
number of them to state of actual want.
The time will come when the American
people will look back with horror to their
permitting or authorizing the agony of
suspense and anxiety in which tens of
thousands of persons in their employ pass
the six months previous to the presidential
election. The mere barbarity of the thing,
even if it worked no injury to the state,
ought to condemn it in the eyes of every
Christian, or even civilized people. No
government which allows an efficient and
upright servant to be tortured before
every election, in order to make the poll
tician's game more exciting, ought in our
day to call itself enlightened. But if the
injury to private interests will be great,
the injury to public interests will be meal

have no natural or educational qualiica-

civil service of the United States should
not be conducted on plain business prin-
ciples, and that the tenure of office should
be as stable as in the army and navy. The
country would actually suffer less from a
complete change of rank and file in the

suffer from change in the civil service,
