THE VOICE OF MAINE.
The Sage of Walpole Speaks.

The Sage of WdlpoIe Speaks.
To the Editor of the Boston Post:
l cannot express the delight feel over the
election in Maine. First, Hamlin and Blaine
have met a rebuke of which nobody dreamed.
most radical of anti-slsvery men, and, once
firmly seated, became an abject lackey of
Grant, and Joined Summers worst enemies in
degrading and insulting him. Blaine! 1 see
him now on his knees to Mulligan, with flow
ing tears, begging for the papers which bore
evidences of his guilt, and pledging his honor
to return them, and pocketing them and falsi-
tying their contents. Thanks, forever thanks
to the people of Maine. They have put the
seal of reprobation upon both of them.
This election shows the set of the tides in
this campaign. In no State will the battle be
fought under as favorable auspices for the Re-
publican party in Maine. Nowhere has the
party such leader as Blaine-able audacious,
interruptions, by long practice having reduced
lying to fine art, and with that wonderful
magnetic power of making masses believe that
lie is TRUTH with unlimited money at his dis
posal, yet leading the party to ignominious
defeat and sealing his own doom. Few m6urn-
ers will go about the streets.
The people of Maine have signally rebuked
the party, and especially the supreme justices
VINO stole the government from the legislature
elected by the people and delivered it to mi
nority faction. In my judgment, confirmed by
every moments sober second thought since the
publication of the infamous edict, no such out
rage was ever perpetrated upon every principle
OF constitutional law, upon every principle
which distinguishes democratic from despotio
governments. as the dicta of the supreme JUS
tices OF Maine. Thanks, million thanks to
the people of Maine who have rebuked this un-
precedented judicial usurpation.
In great haste, but in solemn earnest, I am

THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE FOR
DELEGATE FROM Dakota

THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE FOR
DELEGATE FROM DAKOTA.
The Democratic convention for Dakota
Territory held at Sioux Falls last week made
an excellent selection of a candidate for del.
egate to Congress in the person of Michael
L. Mccormack. Mr.. Mccormack is in the
prime of life, being about thirty-five years
Of age. He is native of Pennsylvania,
but came to Minnesota in boyhood, his fam
lily settling in the Minnesota valley. He is
emphatically self made man. At an early
age he went upon the Mississippi river with
Capt. Alex. Griggs, now of Grand Forks.
who was then captain of a Mississippi
steamer. In 1870 Mr.. Mccormack removed
to Grand Forks, D. T., with his family and
was captain of several different boats on the
Red River. In 1878 he left the river and
formed partnership under the firm name
of Mccormack & Griggs and engaged in
the real estateand grain business.
He is one of the oldest settlers in the Red
River Valley, and is immensely popular
throughout the valley in question. He will
carry the Red River Valley, Pembina,
Grand Forks, Traill and Cass counties, and
the Black Hills, by an overwhelm-
ing majority. AS he is also
popular in Southern Dakota, his election is
predicted by those well informed, by ma
jority of at least five Thousand. He did not
seek tine nomination, but it having been

BOUND TO STEAL.

In the wanton insolence, bred in them by
successful frauds in past elections the Re-
publicans are evidently prepared to play a
desperate game in Maine. It is an AFTER
thought, as is plain from the circumstances.
In the first shock inflicted by unexpected
defeat Blaine and his crowd openly
gave up the battle and acknowledged
themselves conquered. But the ruling spirit
of trickery and chicane, which is inherent in
them all, soon asserted itself. There were
'back towns'' and settlements yet to hear
from, and their returns might be so doctored
as to show Republican majority in the
State. No sooner thought of than the at
temp. was begun, and the machinery set in
motion to carry out the plot. The first
move was to boldly assert that the remote
townships had added enough to the Repub-
lican vote to give Davis clear
majority, and the next to try to make the
returns square with the assertion. Demo
Gratis may as well make up their minds that
the Republicans will stick at nothing to re-
tain power, in State and nation. There is
nothing your true Radical politician SO wor-
ships as place. stealings and power. His
motto is: "Get wealth and place, if posi-
BILE with grace; if not, by any means get
wealth and place." The true Republican
statesman () yearns for the spoils of Office
with far greater longing than he ever feels
for clear conscience or christian character.

MANKATO.

MANKATo, Sept. Is, 1SS0.-The society hold
ing the art exhibition are meeting with such
great success that they have concluded to con-
tinue it through next week. There was a large
attendance last evening, in fact SO large that
the two large rooms were not large enough to
contain the audience with comfort. There
was living game of chess to come off this
evening but has been postponed to Monday
evening at the Opera house in connection with
the exposition.
MIR. A. 8. Shannon former resident of Man.
kato, now living and doing drug business at
Fort Pierre, Dakota, is in the city having ar
rived last evening. He intends to remain a
few days and then return with his family.
Mr.. Shannon speaks very highly of the coun-
try and says it is rapidly filling up and soon
expects to have the railroad reach Fort Pierre.
He says it is little wild and rough in that
country. They amuse themselves by shooting
at one another, and consider it innocent.amuse-
ment to shoot man.

To attempt to conceal the fact that the
returns from Maine have been juggled in the
interest of the Republicans, and with the
knowledge, consent and connivance of
Blaine and his coparceners in crime, is to at
tempt to deny that which is as evident as that
the sun shines. For two days after the cleo
ton 1t was generally admitted by all that
Gen. Plaisted had majority of the votes
cast. The returns from some of the back
towns and plantations were, however, held
back for several days after they should have
been reported in the hope that some road out
of the difficulty in which the party found
itself could be discovered. Though the Flu
sionists were in an acknowledged majority
in those towns the returns, when reported,
showed Republican majorities sufficient to
overcome the Fusion gains, thus showing
that the returns had been doctored in the
interest of the dominant party in the State.
It is an outrage second in enormity only to
the theft of the Presidency four years ago.
The iniquity has not yet been contaminated,
and will not be without struggle to prevent
it. But if it should succeed it were better that
those engaged in it should have a milestone
tied aboubt their necks and that they be
drowned in the depths of the sea.

IT would be amusing, if not so serious, to
see the suit the Northern Pacific railroad
brought to restrain the st. Paul & Manitoba
road from crossing its track. AS the North
ern Pacific has charter for a line from Lake
Superior to Puget Sound, it would be
curious if no railroad could cross its track.
If all railroads are required to run parallel
to the Northern Pacific twill leave good
deal of undevelopsd country. As the St.
Paul & Manitoba road is building its lines
through that region without any land grant,
it is hardly likely that the courts will allow
road with large grant to prevent the
development.

tcaI Route In Maine.
Philadelphia Times.J
Senator Blaines dispatch to Gen. Gar
field told just about half the truth in regard
to the cost of the Maine revolution. He is
not very wide of the mark when he says that
the cash cost of unhorsing him in his State
was from $4,000 to 100000, but in the
hurry and confusion of the occasion he en-
tirely forgot to inform Gen. Garfield that
the Republicans expended one half more, or
possibly double the amount of money,
thrown into the contest by the Fusionists,
and lost their cash with their cause. As Sen
ator Blaine is chairman of his party State
committee he could have spoken advisedly of
the Republican expenditure; but it entirely
escaped his recollection when he autographed
Gen. Garfield.
If Senator Blaine had thought the matter
over carefully it might have occurred to him
that it is not the cash cost of lost battle
that most interests Gen. Garfield just now.
1t is Of the least possible consequence to
Gen. Garfield how much money the Fusion
lists spent in Maine, or how much the Re-
publicans spent if he doesn't have to pay it,
or whether Plaisted or Davis is to be gov
ernor for two years, or what the exact ma
jority may be for either; but it is of very
great moment to Gen. Garfield to know
whether he is to be the only Republican can
didate for the Presidency since the organiza-
ton of the party quarter of a century ago,
against whom the electoral vote of Maine
will be cast. Connecticut is the only New
England State that has ever faltered in a
National contest, and that was when Maine
gave 10000 to Hayes; and it may occur to
Gen. Garfield that, If Maine is lost, Connec-
ticut is also lost, and that New Hampshire
won't stand in the Republican line with
Maine and Connecticut sweeping by and
dancing the Democratic racket.
Senator Blaine should at once supplement
his dispatch to Gen. Garfield, and make at
loast some remote alluslon to the facts that
Garfield is candidate for President, and
that Maine has seven electoral votes to be
chosen in November. Unless he shall do SO
the general Interpretation will be that the
hitherto heroically aggressive political leader
of Maine is employing all his strategy to find
safe lines for retreat; but if he is about to
order retreat in his State, he shouldn't
part with Garfield without at least sympa-
thetic farewell.

BUSINESS mEs FOR HANCOCK.

Immediately upon its accession to power,
the Republican party instituted system of
legis sticn designed less for the general
good IL an to array upon its side the inter
ests of the vast capital of the East. This
of Course, for the obvious purpose of secur-
ing its aid and backing in future struggles
for power. The legal tender act was shaped
in the interest of capital; our whole bond
system was dictated by capital; the prohib-
itory tariff was arranged with direct refer
ence to benefting the corporate wealth Of
the East; all national railway legislation has
been for the sole interest of railway corpora
tions, thus leaving the peoples side of the
case entirely unprotected. Subsidies have
been granted Credit Mobiliers, in large and
in little, have fourished; jobs and grabs
have gimleted their way into every depart
ment of the public service like borers into q
pear tree, and with the like results. Fol-
years capital and corruption had full sway
that is, corporate capital.
But all capital is not embarked in corpor-
ate enterprises. Scattered all over the coun.
try, from ocean to ocean, in every city, town,
village and hamlet in the land, there are
men with capital, who are using their money
in legitimate private enterprises. The in
terests of these men-the great army OF
business men of the oountry-are diametri-
sally opposed to the course which the Re-
publican party has pursued, and they are
waking up to the fact. The merchants
grain buyers, stock dealers, small manufac-
turers and shippers of all kinds, cannot
afford that the railway corporations have all
the favors of government, while themselves
are ignored. Consumers and middle
men are unwilling to be taxed and have their
business crippled by a system of so-called
protection which is really prohibitory of all
fair competition.
These things are becoming more clearly
seen every day. AS the mists of passion end
prejudice engendered by the war melt away
the business men of the country discover
their true position better and better. They
are opposed to Republicanism on business
principles, and this kind of opposition is
hardest of all to shake. But no business
man is apt to talk politics. nor to take an &C.
tive part therein. 1t is at the polls they are
felt. They are not talking politics now
But, when asked If they will vote for Garfield,
they maintain an ominous silence. The Re-
publican papersc all this apathy. 1t is the kind
of apathy that will elect Hancock.
