Mr.. Blaine has thrown himself into the con-
test In Maine with characteristic energy, and
the republicans throughout the country seem
TO take II for granted that when he undertakes
the active management of the campaign the
state is safe for them. Those familiar, however,
with Maine politics see that he has, by long
odds, the heaviest fight on hand this year he
has ever sustained. The coalition between the
democrats ard greenbackers Is very thoroughly
organized. 1t is not certain that the counting
out frauds OF the fusionists will lose them
many votes, and the republicans have to
count upon a considerable detection from
their ranks to the radical temperance ticket.
The republicans have always been the
greatest sufferers when the temperance men
have had separate ticket In the field. This
year the ranrOd Meadow temperance people
threaten not only to put up an electoral ticket,
tut TO run separate candidates for governor and
congressman. In the first Congressional dis
trict, for instance, the democrats and green
packers have united ON Gen. Anderson the
democratic candidate two years ago, and at the
same time the temperance people will, it Is re-
ported, put up an Independent candidate, a
prominent republican politician OF York county,
who will be apt to draw away many votes from
the regular republican nominee. When 1t is
considered that Reed, republican was elected
TWO years ago only by plurality over the
democratic and greenback candidates. vote
standing: Reed, Ia, 4S3; Anderson, democrat
1888; Gore, greenbacker, 6,34S,-and that the
democrats and greenbackers are united this
year on Anderson, 1t will be seen that the
republicans have pretty tough job on hand to
hold the district, even without the drawback of
ramrod republican Independent candidate In
the field.
something like the same condition OF affairs
exists In the 2d tFryes) district, where Frye two
Years ago received II, 434 votes against s,472 for
Chase, greenbaeker, and 3, 1872 for Belcher, DEM
ccrat. Frye is very popular, however, and the
fusionist frauds were so especially distasteful
to some OF the large towns counted out In his
district that he VIII doubtless pull through
against all odds.
In the Sd district, Lindsey, republican. was
elected also by plurality vote, receiving 1893
to s.351 for Philbrick, greenbacker, and 1896
for Smith, democrat. In the 4th and 9TH dis
tricts the democrats and greenbackers elected
Ladd and Murch over the republican candidates.

1t Will thus be seen that the Republicans. even
with Mr.. Blaine's personal supergisal u the de.
tails OF the campaign, and the aid Of he presi-
Dental question to bring out their dlsa1ected
members viii have pretty hard night IN the

though they may be able to carry the electoral

Gen. John Mcdonald, who was Superb
sor of Internal Revenue at st. Louis ut the
time of the whisky frauds, has prepared and
is about to publish book, protesting to show
up that gigantic scheme of plumber. The
book will contain fac SMILES oflettcrs written
to Mcdonald by Gen. o. f. Babcock, Prcsi-
dent Grants confidential secretary. Copies
of some of these letters We're published in the
New York SIN last Saturday They show
Babcock's connection with the scheme and
II Mcdonald is to be believed his book will
show that the ring had the approval of Pres
ident Grant himself The ring was nothing
more or less than a conspiracy to steal the
revenues derived from distillcrs. The plum
dercrs had agreed, among other things to
form a campaign fund, to secure Grants cleo
| ton to a third term, but of the many millions
stolen only small portion was used for po-
litical purposes, the bulk of the plumber being
divided among the members of the ring
Whether Grant knew of the existence of the
| ring or not, some subtle and powerful in
| iiuence was at work with him, when Mr..
Bristow unearthed the fraud. The President
| threw every obstacle in the way of convic-
ton of the criminals, and opposed Bristow S
| efforts openly and bitterly. Mcdonald claims
TO be able to verify all that he says, and GER

workings OF that monstrous scheme of rob

A Card,

Having been honored with the vote of Hartford
county in the Congressional Convention of 1873,
which nominated the Hon. j. f. G. Talbot it
has been supposed by some that would be n
candidate for nomination before the convention,
which will be held at Westminster, ON the eighth
of September next; but, for the following
reasons, have no such intention:
Mr.. Talbot has been recommended by his
county for Il second term, and the Democratic
usage has been, to re-nomnate member OF
Congress for second term, unless, during his
first term, he has proved unfaithful to his party
obligations; and all must admit that Mr.. Talbot
is not amcnablc to this charge. Now, ii would
seem that an opposition to the denomination OF
Mr.. Talbott at this time, would be both impolitic
and unkind, particularly so as far as Hartford is
concerned, when it is recollectcd that for four
consecutive terms, Baltimore county united with
Hartford in nominating and returning to Congress

The Republicans arc not satisfied with
the census returns from the Southern States,
because they show large gains in population,
which will ensure increased representation in
Congress from that section. ACCORDINGLY
they are striving to get out the impression
that the census has not been correctly taken
and that Il new one should be made. On the
other hand, General Walker, Superintendent
of the census, is satisfied that the census has
been correctly taken and he sees no cause for
complaint. The cry offraud has merely been
gotten up to take the place of the Ku KluX
stories, by way ofcreating in the North a sec
tional feeling against The South, in order to
help the dropping cause of Garfield. The cC-
fort will fail, however. The people of the
North are getting their eyes open, and are
beginning to see that our country can never
he united and prosperous until all sections
arc accorded equal rights and the credit to
which each is entitled for honest and patriotic
intentions.
