PRESS COMMENTS ON THE RESULT.
New YORK, September l4th-A. N-The
Herald concludes The result in Maine puts
new face on the situation. By impartiug
confidence to the Democrats and alarming
the Republicans it will inHane the zeal and
spur the activity of both. The country will

| CHICAGO, September 14th-A. s.-The
! Times says: The success of the Fusion
ticket in Maine will not only be source of
profound astonishment to the whole country
but will go long way towards settling the
| Presidential contest in advance. Its influ-
ence will be felt especially in Indiana, where
the scale is almost evenly balanced, and
where it needs nothing more to turn the bal
ance sharply in favor of the Democrats. 1t
will give the canvass for Hancock everywhere
new life and vigor. The result shows that the
msjority of the people Of State long Re-
publican are willing to abandon the Repub-
iican party, and are convinced that the coun-
try is in no danger of subjugation by "rebei
Brigadiers.

Tribune says: ''The result will be some
what of q disappointment to the Republicans,
and lead them out of their over-confdence.
1t also draws attention to the fact that there
will be no fusion against the Republicans in
November. The writer continues: "The re-
fusal of q large proportion OF the voters of
State to condemn the grossest crime ever at.
tempted against an honest ballot, is another
proof that there is no iniquity which the
Democratic party viii not approve TO elect "A
Democratic ticket"
The Stats ZeitaHg says that the unex-
pected defeat of the Republicans in Maine
will have very discouraging effect on their
efforts in Indiana and Ohio, as well as the
Pacific States, and claims the result as a
Democratic victory.
