One Effect of the Maine Election.

success, might play the mischief with

THE MAINE ELECTION.

Partisan Democrats have no reason
to be .iubilant over the result of the
Maine election. 1t may be. in view of
former triumphs, a Republican disap-
pointment. but it is not Il Democratic
victory. To every reflective man, how
ever, the returns of that election, when
intclligently considered, have much
more serious import than the political in
i1uence they may exert over pending cleo
tons i'll other States. To every though
full and patriotic property owner, who
values the honor of his country, its tinan-
cial credit. and its future development
on sound business principles, no matter
| whether he be Republican or Democrat,
the Greenback craze that demagogues
have SO successfully worked up i'll the
State of Maine, should be in the possible
influence it may exert. a spectacle ut once
painful and humliating.
When New England State can Yield
so many victims to the paper money
lunacy as to disintcgrate one party and
demoraliZe it to the extent to which the
Maine Democracy has reached, and to
elect congressman and come near choos-
ing Grcenback Governor, it is time for
the Democrats of the country. who have
moneyed interests at stake, to go to think
ing. With IL large body of Northern
Democrats who want irredeemablc pa
per to make Hush times and to pay
South wanting limitlcss issues Of paper
in the way Of appropriations for all sorts
of claims and endless "improve-
ments how long will business and
capital be spared financial hurricane,
compared with which the panic of 1878
was mild zephyr?
1t is true that no where else in this
country is the fight for bread carried on
under such rigorous conditions as in
Maine. The masses of her citizens and
laborers are poor and unemployed. The
tidal wave Of revived industries has not
reached them. The army of discomfort
ed laborers care little about the "solid
South" so long as employment is not
abundant and wages high for themselves.
And they are not greatly moved by talk
about financial perils, from Republican
leaders who, few years ago, We're either
voiceless, or eloquent, in behalf of some
form or other of the delusion that the
Government of the United States can
make and keep that a dollar which is
not a dollar in the markets of the world,
and that it ought to try this hopeless ex-
pertinent.
The lesson Of the Maine election, how
ever unexpected it may be to Republicans,
is plain. There has been too much dis
counting of accustomed Republican ma
jRities. Work will now take the place
Of talk. Facts and arguments, and not
torch-light professions and brass bands
will be the means of winning in the final
struggle i'll November. Let Democratic
brag expend itself; but the great victories
Of the Republican party have always been
won through contests that tried its faith
and courage to the uttermoSt. 1t will

THE /" BIGGEST LITTLE MAN NOT
DEAD!

If fresh evidence be needed of the per-
feet domination of the Ring Bosses y
in Maryland Democratic politics. it is
found in the resignation of the ''com-
promise candidate, DR.. Shaw, whose
recent nomination, at Westminster, was
claimed by many anti-Ring Democrats
in Cecil county as Il victory over the
shrewd chiefs. The withdrawal of DR..
Shaw, however, means the recommendation
of Talbot, their favorite, who, every
body knows, is not the choice Of the
Democrats of the district. Talbot made
his best fight in the late contest and
could command but one county He
went into the nominating convention,
and recognizing the hopelessness Of his
contest, under pretense of compromise,
threw the vote of Baltimore county for Il
Carroll county man, whom he expected
would either decline the nomination, or
receivin. it, could be influenced to resign
it. Talbot, however, was unwittingly
hoist by his own petard. DR.. Shaw was
not averSe to Congressional honOrS, even
while playing the role of party pacitica-
tor. Now, up to this point everybody
was reasonably happy, except Talbot,
both had seen the common enemy slain.
While each had failed, yet the sting of
defeat was soothed by the qualification
that the g Ring" favorite had been real
ly beaten, and by the hope that he would
stay so. But 1.-The biggest little man in
Maryland " was restless corpse. He
was, it is true, laid out i'll propria per-
soma. but the "bosses' wouldn't order
the funeral. Beside it was their own
Jurying, and they were in the habit of
selecting the corpse to suit. They didn't
feel Talbott's pulse long to discover that
his death was only 4 feint. German had

Democratic Opposition to Pensions.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.-Congressnian
Beltzhoover, who wrote to constituent
that pension bills for Union soldiers
would not find much favor with this
rebel Congress, was right, as the record
will show.
During the first session of the Myth
Congress there were introduced into the
Senate 80 pension bills and into the
House JOG, making a total of $50. Dur
ing the second session there We're intro
duced l4S pension bills into the Senate
and $50 into the House. making total of
,sS for the session, and l,364 for the en-
tire Congress. Thus far only 81 of those
bills have passed both Houses of Con-
gresS.
1t is also a matter of record that press
ing appeals were made in both Houses at
different times that these bills might be
given precedence over the jobs and pr-
vate relief bills which formed the chief
topics OF discussion. Such appeals were
made in vain
