Honorable Mention.

As the details of the great victory in this
state are gathered in, there are found many
conspicuous instances of notable local tri-
umphs which have contributed to this ex'
ceptionally grand result. Bennington shows
net Republican gain Of 237. In 1875 this
town gave Fairbanks 467, Bingham SAT. In
the recent election Farnham had 6S2, Phelps
525. Dorset, which gave a Democratic major
ity of 10 in 1876, goes Republican by 70 ma
jority, making gain Of "a. SALISBURY gave a
Democratic majority of GO in 1876. Farnham
carried the town by majority, making Re
publican gain of II. Dauville sends Re
publican representative for the first time in
twenty years. The vote of the town in 1876
was Republican on the gubernatorial vote,
in 1878 it was Democratic, in 1880 Repub
lican again. Corinth and Ely each changed
their vote from Democratic majorities in
1876 to Republican in 1880, making Re-
publican gain in the former of SO and in
the latter of 55 votes. Barre gains rs
votes over her record of four years ago,
and sends in Mr.. Priest, a stalwart Repub.
lican, physically and intellectually, to repre-
sent her in the Legislature. Moretown, though
still Democratic in her governor vote, elects
a Republican representative, and gains %
in her Republican vote. Cabot and Wood
bury have recovered from their Greenback
craze and send staunch Republican rep
resentatives. Roxbury steps over the mar
row boundary which divided her from
the Republican camp four years ago, and
lands securely inside the lines on a Re
publican gain of 80, and representative Of
the same political faith. Mortified is still
decisively Republican, and will have voice
in making the laws during the next two
years-a privilege of which she denied her
self two years ago. Fayston sends good It'd
ings from the hill Notwithstanding Re
publican representative, and making gain
of 81 on total vote of 14l against ITO foui
years ago. Waterbury showed, thorough
waking up by polling 52e votes, within "a Of
the full vote of the town, which the canvass
showed to be $50. She elected her repre-
sentative on the first ballot-to the Joy Of
all good Republicans. In 1875 the full
vote thrown was 52l. Calais and Middlese,
came out strong in favor Of a change, ant
elected Republicans in place of the Demo
Gratis who represented them in the last legis
lature. Londonderry does credit to herself
by making a Republican gain of So, and re
turning j. S. Martin, the popular and eff
Gent speaker of the last house. Windsor
seems to be the banner county for large ant
uniform Republican gains. Every town bu
three shows handsome gain, the towns O
Bridgewater and Woodstock gaining 10Y ant
1O4 respectively. Four years ago Bridge
water gave so Democratic majority in tn
recent election the Republican majority wa

ANOTHER IRREPREssIBLE.-One OF the
irrepressible gentlemen, who, as southern
paper pathetically says, are making it harder
than it need be for the Democrats TO carry
the country, is Mr.. b. +. Perry, who was
provisional governor of South Carolina
under Andrew johnson. Mr.. Perry has
written letter to the people Of that state in
which he says; Every true Democrat and
every honorable man should rise up in the
majesty of his strength and swear on the
altar of his country and his God that this
(Republcan success) shall not be, let the
consequences be what they may. The poor,
miserable, unprincipled white man who tries
to restore the radical party to power in
South Carolina should be socially ostracised,
and not even spoken to on the streets. lie
should be treated as an enemy to his race.
Hosts humans, generis.' The oolored man
should be told that his leaders are making
tools OF him only to crafty their pitiable
ambition, and have chance of stealing his
hard earnings. He should be told, too, that
If he will vote to place rogues and scoun-
drels In Office and power, no honorable Dem
ocrat will employ him in any way. This
should be resolved on and adhered 10
throughout the state--social ostracism fol
the white man, and no employment for the
colored man."

Dissatisfied with the Boss.

The Saturday Evening Review thus re-
views, and with apparent reason and fair
ness, the management of the Democratic
boss during the last campaign in this state :
" The battle has been fought and lost; are
the Democracy prepared to gain wisdom
from this defeat We fear it cannot be ex-
pected from the leaders, judging from the
acquaintance we have with the few Of them,
but why not from the rank and file p? There
is no question if the election had occurred
Immediately after the work Of the conven-
tions had been accomplished, that the ma
iority would have been at least 5000 less,
possibly 10000; but with Boss Atkins
wonderfully planned and admirably (for the
Republicans) executed campaign of the
rebel brigadiers, it was only a question OF
time whether the entire Democratic party
would not dwindle down TO the leaders
and their soupes. Atkins, we understand
has said that this is his last campaign. Fol
the good of the Democratic party it is to bt
hoped that it is, but we fear that Repub
lican influence will be exerted sufficient u
keep him dancing at the head OF the rap
idly diminishing Democratic column fo
many year yet. When the Democrat
have at their head a cool hand, man O
brains and executive ability like Davenpor
or Jennings or Dickey, and the copperheat
bourbon element is made to take bacl
seat; when there is an honest desire TO viii
permanent accessions to the party ranks
and men of thought and influence are no
snubbed by the poppingjay leaders; whel
the success of principle is the honest effor
of those who control the workings of tn
party and not personal advancement whel
the nominations Of the party are the spor
taneous voice of its conventions and not tn
result of bargain and wire-pulling an
double dealing on the part OF the committee

ADDRESS.
Day by day we have watched the growth Of the
seasons, from the first tender budding green Of
springtime, through the fervid heat Of summer,
until the autumn Of the year. and full fruition
has taken the place Of hope. This Is a fitting
time for this gathering, and this is fitting gath
ering for the time when men bring together the
first fruits OF their labor, and the best Of their
herds and aocks for kindly competition and in
terchange OF experience Each farmer may learn
some lesson from another, and they should have
day of recreation often, Amusements should
not be prohibited from the fair ground; but yet
our children should be protected from everything
that has an influence for evil. Their cupdity
should not be fostered by games of chance, where,
for few cents ventured, small fortunes may be
made, and may not; for gambling In all Its
forms, Is one Of the most runous practices OF the
present day. How shall the farmers act to secure
a competition2 for they ought to have the best Of
everything IN their houses, in their teams and for
their use, II Is right for them to have It all II
they can afford 1t, but We should NOT be ambi-
tious for fortune too soon gained. Imitation Of
currency and war prices are things Of the past
but farming brings the surest reward, and the
harvest Of the field Is Of the most vital Importance

THE MAINE STEAL.

The following items are clipped
from the N. Y. Tribune:
"Tilden's opinion of the Maine
fraud would be mighty interesting
reading. 1t would be that of a ex-
pert"
There is a good deal of amusing
speculation concerning the author
ship Of the Maine theft. One Of the
latest theories comes from Washing
ton to the effect that Tilden concoc-
ted the'scheme for the purpose Of
calling the public attention afresh to
the Louisiana swindle" in 1876.
Tilden's slyness is of q finer quality
than that. He knows better than to
try to strengthen the fraud cry by
showing that his party needs only a
chance to prove its own proficiency
as a fraud expert. Another theory
charges the responsibility Of inven-
ton upon General Butler"
Congressman Reed stated the Maine
case exactly when he remarked that
the laws..for canvassing votes were
not intended to "trip up the voters"
We need mob wonder if the people,
conscious that they have been made
the victims Of a trick, are betrayed
now and then into rash and improp-
er expressions of their resentment,
for there is no form Of wrong more
irritating than an elaborate and we'll
planned swindle. Yet we shall trust
the good sense Of the Republicans of
Maine to keep cool under this great
provocation, and do nothing which
they will afterwards regret.
Congressman Frye's manly protest
against the Maine disgrace is made
under peculiar embarrassing circum-
stances. Garcelon is.his brother-in-
law and family physician. This isn't
the first time that public man has
found a brother-in-law inconvenient.
No well-regulated statesman should
have any.
E. f. Pillsbury, the leader Of the
Maine band Of burglars, has an Amer
lean flag floating from his office in
honor of the glorious victory" A
black flag would be much more ap-
propriate.

Some ofthe Democratic newspapers
are so alarmed by the boldness Of the
Maine theft that they are moved to
denouncei it rs bad policy and bad NOR
atty. They even say it is un-D Demo-
cratic, but here they are mistaken.
The Maine brethren have merely fol-
lowed the example of their party's
leaders in Congress. The seats of
three Republican Representatives
have been stolen from them with no
more excuse or justification than there
is for the Maine outrage. Without
doubt, there has been determination
reached to steal Senator Kellogg's seat
also, but the present bathurst Of pop
ular Indignation may postpone the
act for the present. 1t is established
Democratic usage to gain power in
this way, and the leaders in Maine
have simply followed precedent, The
quicker the country wakes up to this
fact the more chance will it have to
save its Presidency from the clutches
Of these thieves next year.
