bers, have majoIities TO spare.
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS.

al amendments would have large ma jorities,
and that particularly making plurality elect
the Governor, which, il adopted, will be oper-
ative as to this election.

ADDITIONAL PRESS COMMENTS.
BosToN, September 14th.-The Trateller
tonight says of the Maine returns After
the furry OF the hour is over the sober second
thought of the country will ask what this I'M
expected explosion means. 1t will soon be
recognized that the financial fanaticism which
assailed resumption unsuccesstully has rallied
and shook hands with BourboDisin in joint
wish for power. The business interest of
New York, where the real battle is after all
to be fought, will not be slow to interpret the
true import of this Greenback revival
Alarmed and aroused, the commercial in
stinct of the nation viii surely and effectually
come to the rescue. The triumph of the
Greenbaclc- Bourbon alliance in Maine will,
if we mistake not, be the signal for rallying
of the reserve forces to the Republican stand
ard, which otherwise might have remained in
the background and permitted the final yer.
dict to go by default.
WEAVER on THE RESULT.
ALBANY, September 14th.-General Wea-
yer, the Greenback candidate for President,
