The Senatorial contest virtually ended
on Thursday last by the withdrawal OF
MI Frye, and on the following day Hon.
Eugene Hale was unanimously nominated
by the Republican caucus as the success
sor of Senator Iamlin. This OF course is
equivalent to an election; and we regard
the result with unmiXed satisfaction. We
had urged Mr.. Hale's election purely on
public and party grounds, and we believe
now, as we have from the first. that the
choice made is for the best interests OF
the state and party. That Mr.. Hale will
ill the high station to which he is to be
promoted with credit to himself and
honor to the State goes without the say
ing. The rivalry between the successful
candidate and Mr.. Frye was afriendly one,
which never for moment threatened the
harmony Of the party, and tine manner
of the latter's Withdrawal has given him
stronger hold than before, if that be
possible, upon an organization Of which
he has long been SO useful and 50 able a
member. He can afford to wait for Il
promotion sure to come at Ito distant day
but ut present it is felt that his services
are most needed in the lower branch Of
Congress.

The Gubernaturial Question.

At present writing the Gubernatorial
question is not settled, but there is every
reason to believe that it will be decided
in accordance with the will of the people
as expressed at the polls and in strict
conformity to law. A majority Of the
committee to whom the matter was re-
terred will report that Gen. Plaistcd,
having received a plurality of the votes
cast for Governor, is elected: while a
minority, it is said, will advoc tie the
reference Of the question respecting the
application of the plurality amendment to
the vote OF 1850 to the Supreme Court.
This reference will not be made and al
though those Who urge it are honest i'll
their opinions, we are very confident that
it should not be made. 1t would only de
lay the inevitable result, While it would
have the appearance OF al attempt to
eyade question which can only he hon
orably decided in one way. There must
be no quibbling or evasion in the matter.
plaisted is a bitter pill for many to swal-
low, 10 doubt; but under an amendment
submitted by q Republican Legislature
and adopted by Republican votes he has
been elected to the GubernatOrial chair.
To attempt to deprive him of what is his
undoubted right, would be simply to re-
peat the crime for which Coy. Garcelon
and his associates 0nlya year AGO rightly
received the condemnation Of the whole
country. The Republicans Of Maine can
not afford to place themselves III such a
position, nor will they 10 so. | would
be ruinous to the party in the state and
damaging to The party ut large. The
Republican party is a national party. Its
principles are the same everywhere. 1t

that whether the defective returns are
amended or not the result is the same

That Senator Blaine has been offered

That Senator Blaine has been offered
the Secretaryship of State under Presi
dent Garfield is an established fact; but
Mr. Blaine has not yet publicly signitied
that he will accept the position. 1t is
probable, however, that he will do so, as
his friends strongly urge it. The press of
the country has testified with remarka-
BILE unanimity to Mr.. Blane's qualifica-
tons for this high and important station.
The Utica, New York, Herald expresses
the prevailing sentiment when it says
Aside from all questions of faction and personal
ambition James G Blaine holds the affection and
devotion of the Republicans of the nation in a
higher degree than any other living man He has
won a warmer place i'll the hearts of the people
than was ever held by any other civilian except
the martyred Lincoln. He has been able to walk
through partisan contests and TO be trusted and
honored by opponents OF every shade OF feeling,
and to deserve eulOgles for his spirit and bearing
which would be extravagant when applied to any
other statesman In this State, where from local
reasons the attempt has been made to keep down
his reputation and popularity he could to day draw
within the Republican organization more votes
than any other candidate for the highest position,
from all classes who could act freely and without
fear of losing their official places.
Mr. Blaine could therefore start at the head
of the cabinet with stronger support within
the party chan could be secured for an other
person whatsoever He represents the living
progressive elements Of the party. He is a
practical man. and wins friends and dlsarms enc
mics 1t is understood that he would not accept
the position Of secretary of the treasury. The State
department requires less drudgery, calls for the
broad views and large discussion In which Mr..
Blaine especially shines, and yet it is naturally the
place for the real premier In the cabinet as in
every other relation Mr. Blaine will very easily be
recognized as born leader Since the accession
of the Republican party the Secretary OF State has
been the center Of brilliant social circle he has
illustrated the most genial and hospitable side OF
American manhood to representatives of foreign
countries, official and voluntary, and has dispensed
liberal cheer to the visitors who are called to the
national capital Superior to Seward in Wit and
readiness of table talk which would make the
reputation Of professional ,Geoate"r not interior
to Fish in the elegance of his entertainments and
beyond all men in the heartlness Of his bearing,
rvaling Evars in his scholarship and courtly de
pertinent where these are fitting Mr. Blaine would
continue and enlarge the record Of that courtesy
and lberality which have demonstrated that
American society neednot shrink from comparison
with that OF any other capital

The statement of the public debt for

large reduction in the liabilities of the
United States during the calendar year
Just ended. On Jan. lst. 1880, the debt,
after allowing for the cash in the treasury.
amounted to S2,OIl 10, 594. On Jan. list.

crease OF @ll2.GI6,7tiS during the wear.
OF this diminution @5,H5,931 was merely
a nominal decrease, caused by writing Oft

There was, however, a real reduction OF
Sl0l ,24O,S30 in the amount of the net
liabilities, a decrease Of 5.7 per cent. for
the twelyemonth. That is a splendid
