Had not the Republicans so vehe-
mently exerted themselves to elect
their candidate for Governor, Davis,
in Maine; had they not so boastingly
asserted that The State would be car
ried for their ticket by q majority
not less than 6,000 and possibly
reaching to 10000; the significance Of
their overthrow would be less noticea-
BILE and the Democratic victory might
have been less subject Of congratu-
lation with Democrats. But as it is,
the Republican defeat is a defeat not
only Of their candidate, but of their
cause, its processes and its issues.
The attempt to "count in" Davis,
even if the Fusionists permit ii, will
not alter the facts of the case, if sue.
cessful, or lessen the force of the Re-
publican defeat.
The Republicans Of Maine under
the leadership of one of their fore
most-if not absolutely their fore.
most-leader, NJ. Blaine, fought the
battle for Governor on the basis Of
of the issues involved in the Presi-
Dental election. Nolocal arguments
were used to show why Davis be
chosen instead Of Plaisted, The Fusion
candidate, no appeal was made to
State interests, and no reason apart
from the desirability of preventing
Democratic control Of the State in
November was urged, to show cause
why Davis should be elected. No,
the battle was waged on the plea Of
of Garfield against Hancock, of
Arthur against English; and on this
plea the Republicans have been in
gloriously defeated, and in their de.
feat have dragged down from his as.
sumed height of invincibility the
noisy Mr.. Blaine, the hopes of
Messrs. Garfield and Arthur of car
rying the State, and their own
prestige in that remote section of the
Union. 1t is only necessary to re.
mind our Republican friends of the
fact that at the Presidential election
Of 1876 the Republicans had u major.

7 Eaitor Register: In your last issue,
James B. Menager publishes a card
in reply to the one published By me,
the week before, in which he says he
"modestly lays claim to II little. truth
fulness and self respect" In order
to show how modest his claims for
truthfulness are, would say that |
am informed he was present at the
organization of the Beer Club" and
well knew | was not elected vice
president, and that my name was
not mentioned in connection with
that or any other office of the Club,
for was not a member. | am in,
formed by q Mr.. Cartmill, Of Ar
buckle district, that be publicly
stated at Evergreen School House,
that if his name was on the books Of
the "Beer Club" he would withdraw
from the canvass as a candidate;
while in his card he openly confesses
that it is on said book and still he
has not withdrawn. In his card he
says
"Mr. Simpson further says, that I
"failed to state the facts to tile grand
jury, when | was u witness before
them, or the grand jury decided said
associations were no violation of the
law In answer to that charge,
refer the gentleman to Mr.. j. j.
Bright, Foreman of the grand jury,
j, ID. McCulloch, and other members
of the same, if my testimony was not
full and satisfactory to them. AT
any rate, several indictments were
made upon the testimony gave be-
fore the grand jury for sales to mi
nors. The only indictments | think
that were made"
His modest claim for truhfulness is
fully exposed when I state that be-
fore the publication of his card, the
record was shown him, and he knew
that at the time l sent him, with SO
many others before the grand jury,
Jabez Beard was Foreman of the
same, and that he never did, at the
October or the April term, at which
Mr.. J. ], Bright was Foreman, find
an indictment for sales to minors or
any one else, as witness the follow

luscious spoils of office, the creatures
Of no cliques, neither are they dema-
gogues nor we'll trained politicians,
but men Of honest purposes, fresh
from the pillow, the shop, the mine,
&c, and in, presenting this ticket to
their fellow-citizens Of Mason, We the

What Is a Democrat?
The best definition we have ever
seen Of q Democrat is from the pen
of Mr.. Jefferson. He defined a Dem.
ocrat as one who maintains aeaual
and exact Justice TO all men; the
support Of the State governments in
all their rights; the preservation Of
the general government in its whole
constitutional yigor; a jealous care Of
the right of election by the people,
absolute acquiescence in the decis-
ions of the majority; the supremacy
Of the civil over the military author
ity; economy in the public expense;
the honest payment Of our debts, and
sacred preservation of public faith;
freedom Of religion; freedom Of the
press; freedom of the persen under
protection Of the habeas corpus, and
trials by juries impartially selected"
We would ask any candid man if he
does not recognize the portrait of
Hancock in these words. Just read
his every letter and public act, and
see if they do not accord entirely
with every word and expression here
quoted. -Sonoma Democrat.

The New York Herald puts in few words

THE New York Herald puts in few words
this truth about the election laws, which
the Democrats made fuss over because
they wanted an issue and not because the
party was ever injured by them: "The
divided Democrats felt that they needed an
issue on which the party could unite, and
without any popular demand they selected
the election laws. They made botch of it;
they lost ground, as they deserved to do.
The party never suffered much from the
election laws. 1t was defeated in 1872 not
by federal troops and deputy marshals, but
by the weakness of its candidates. In 1874
it elected majority of Congress, as it did
also in 1876 and 1878, and it was never al
legged that any Democratic candidate was
beaten by the deputy marshals. In the
Presidential election of 1876 they claim that
they elected their candidate, and the fact
that he was excluded was not charged to
the federal election laws, but to false count
ing by returning boards. The new issue
which they dragged in by the ears did not
represent grievance but fancy, and they
have gained nothing by its introduction"

HARTFORD Courant: When the Demo-
cratic press shall have proved to its satisfac-
tion that its military candidate is fit for the
civil office he is running for, the real issue
OF the campaign will have to be met. 1t is
this: Is the Democratic party fit to have the
government? General Hancock would be
only clay in the hands of the party manipu-
lators, and his administration would be
what the necessities of northern Democratic
spoilsmen and southern politicians choose to
make it. 1t is the party itself that is on
trial. The exhibition it has made of itself
in Congress of late, to go no further back,
IS not reassuring to single interest of the
country. Its domination for four years
would, besides, postpone the civilization of
the south quarter of century.

the following communication:
Mr.. EDIToR:-The charge that Gen. Han
cock was in any way responsible for the exc

ploded, let us look for one moment at the
infamous record of Garfield in this matter.
He 1t was, who was member of the court
martial that sentenced that poor unfortunate
woman to death although nothing was proven
against her.
Will the Commercial or its correspondent
inform us as to the 'infamous record of
Garfield in this natter? What had he to
do with sentencing ''that poor unfortunate
woman to DEATH? Let us have the facts.
We want to know how much truth and how
much falsehood go to make up these Demo-

mercial has grand opportunity to show its
honesty, fairness and regard for truth. VIII

THE pretense that Maine is doubtful
State is not advanced by the more intelligent
Democratic leaders. When the Southern
delegate at Cincinnati called the roll of
Northern doubtful States he did not call
Maine; nor did Mr.. Bradbury, even in that
moment of enthusiasm, promise Maine to
the convention. At the ratification meeting
Friday night he preserved the same express
slve silence. He had the audacity to claim
Pennsylvania; but never a promise did he
make for Maine.
