revolutionary Talk.

The following language of Senator
Blaine in reference to the official CON
duet of those who are charged under the
Constitution and laws of Maine with
convassing the returns and issuing GER
tifcates of election, is decidedly revolu-
tionary 1t is worse than 'peaceably if
we can, forcibly if we must" 1t is
''forcibly" all the time and is applied
to an order Of things established by the
law Of the State. Duringall the provo
cations of carpet-bag rule in Mississippi
and the other Southern States, there
was nothing like such language employ
ed for overthrowing the existing order
by the people who felt its expressions.
They worked theoretically, it is true,
otherwise their deliverance would have
never come, but they operated within
the pale of law and by the methods
which belong exclusively to needful
revolutions Still, even for that much,
they were constantly discussed and in
vestigated by statesmen of the class of
Mr. Blaine in Congress and out of Con
gress, and there were frequent sugges-
tions of dealing with them by the mill
tary power of the government exclusive
w. and it was often done in part.
None of this officious intermeddling
will be retaliated upon the Maine Re
publicans by the Democracy, or at least
by the Southern Democracy. Some of
them may wag their heads and indulge
little badinage, now and then; but
nothing more serious will follow, unless
the blood of the contending factions in
Maine begins actually to flow, and then
they will simply intercede as the peace
maker upon whose head blessings are
bestowed by the omnipotent Judge of
all. Here is the way Senator Blaine
Eliminates;
And now we are asked with insolence of
highwayman making off with stolen proper
ty, what are we going TO do about it. W.T.
are pursued with the taunt that we cannoe
help ourselves, and are boldly told that the
same tribunal that has done the counting
this year will be in position next year to
l.
is the deliberate intent. Success always
inspires courage, and if the people of Maine
weakly submit now they will be called upon
for still greater display of weakness here
after. The prizes next year. besides that of
State officers, are FIVE Representatives in
Congress, 4 Senator of the United States,
seven Presidential Electors, and the undis-
puted possession of the political power of
the State till January, 1888, as we are to
have biennial elections hereafter. Within
that time they apportion this State into
Legislative and Congressional districts to
suit themselves, gerrymandering at will;
appoint the Valuation Commissioners who
would punish certain sections of the State
by an undue and unfair share of taxation,
and generally run riot after the reckless
style of the Administration already inauga-
rated. This is the treat to which people of
Maine are invited. This the burden for
which they are asked to bend their backs.
This is the degradation to which they are ex-
pected to submit. A great popular upris-
ing will avert these evils and restore honest
government to Maine-and the people are
already moving.
