The Fight in Ellsworth.

The Republicans of Ellsworth may
justly feel proud a, the result of Mon
days vote. With tremendous odds
against them from the beginning Of the
campaign to its end. they never waver-
ed for a moment. but fought day and
night. and at last achieved victory
over the Fused ranks of hard and soft
money, rum and sham Temperance.
No more desperate battle was fought in
the State. Against US, was the prestige
of victory in the Spring, a victorious
majority led by its favorite, most popu-
lar candidate. the Mayor of the CITY.
All the appliances were theirs, which
the above union know 50 well how 10
use. Blatant boasts were made for
weeks of an overwhelming Fusion tri-
umph.
Monday night changed all this. A Re-
publican majority of 80 was given in
the unprecedented vote of l2+l, a lar
ger vote than any other city in the State
gave in proportion to its population
which is only FIVE thousand and fifty
three.
All honor 10 the noble Republicans Of
Ellsworth. All honor 10 the young men
who in such numbers threw their frs,
vote on principle. All honor TO the
brave and independent Irishmen, who
fought as they always do. calamity and
nobly, when in their hearts they belle, e
they are right.
With such voters, good government
and the city is safe. Never before have
we been SO proud of Ellsworth as to-
day. The jeers and shouts of our jubi-
liant opponents can well be borne. for
though there are smiles on their lips,
there is sadness in their hearts over the
loss Of the only Democratic city in the
State.

1t is significant fact that when We are
warned Of the vast claims which the South
is preparing TO press upon the United States
Government as soon as 1t Is restored 10
power. the Democratic papers at the North
scout the idea Of danger, because, they say,
the Constitution prohibits the payment OF
any claims for tie los, Of siares. or the pay
msnt Of the rebel war debts. Not to dwell
a, present upon the methods BY which q
Southern Congress, supported by Demo
cratic President, might evade these provis-
| ions, let Us observe a certain point which the
touching
The amended Constitution forbids the
United States or any State to pay for losses
incurred or property taken or destroyed in
and Of the Rebellion. IL says nothing about
the property Of rebels seired or destroyed
by the Union troops in suppressing the Re
bellion. Large sums have been paid BY au-
thority Of Congress to Southern loyalists
whose crops we're appropriated and houses
occupied BY our armies. There is not an
eI-Confederate living who does not believe
that he has q more equitable claim for re-
lief from the National Treasury on this he ad
than his loyalist neighbor, and that the dis
elimination made agains, the active sup
porters Of the Rebellion is piece Of Radi-
cal injustice The Confederates hold that
the United States was bound to pay for all
the private property which it took during
the war, without regard to the politics Of the
owner; and on the Democratic theory of
State Sovereignty they can make out case
which will satisfy their party if it satisfies
nobody else.
The intention to press this claim at the
opportuns time has never. so far as we
know, been denied, and We do not believe
that it will be. The expectation that this
Government, after paying its own soldiers,
will pay the rebels too, is living hope at
the South. Bill after bill has been intro
duced at Washington to prepare the way for
this terrific raid upon the Treasury. The
measures are never pressed to . vote the
time is not ripe for that; but they are
filed" for future use; and If the Demo
cratic party ever got full power in this coun-
try they will surely be heard from What
untold millions Of money would be required
in such an event one can hardly even con-
lecture. The Treasury would be promptly
emptied; the reduction of the debt would
cease and then perhaps the paper mills
would be set running again to give US an
unlimited supply Of irredeemable green.

Hancock County.

Old Hancock bears the banner this
year of disaster Indeed the county
does as well as it was wont to do when
the Republican majority in the State
was fifteen thousand.
Our majority of last year, three hun
dred and fifty nine, is just about doubled
this year and we elect two Senators and
eight out Of nine Of the Representatives.
No other county shows so good rec
ord. And the result is due in the main
to the individual work done by our own
citizens.
Our public meetings, except few ad-
dressed by Mr.. Hadlock, Mr.. Emery
and Judge Wiswell. dropped out in the
last week, Gen. Fitzpatrick speaking on
ly twice in the county and Gen. Sheri-
dan only once. But the earnest repub-
hcans in every town worked all the
harder and the returns show that meet
ings alone are not the best means for
carrying State.
There is such thing as town being
talked to too much. When there are
many meetings men get to leaning too
much on them and the personal canvass
is neglected.
The republicans Of Hancock County
did not fall into this error. but carried
the day by hand to hand work.
Such results as Ellsworth and Bucks
port and Franklin and Bluehill and
Eden and Waltham and some other
towns show, tell the story of our la
bors and we have . right to feel proud
of them.
