BosToN, Sept. II.
1t is just learned here that the Maverick
National Bank of this city has been recently
victimized to the extent of nearly $4,000 on
raised draft Some time ago a well dressed,
very respectable appearing man opened an
account at the bank, depositing some $1,000
which he drew against and replenished until
he had established his credit. Within a
week or two he deposited draft for $500,
drawn by a Portland man against New
York bank, and on the next day drew $4,000
against it. The draft was sent to New York
for collection, where it was found to have
been raised from the original amount, SIT,
to $780, Before, however, advices to this
effect reached Boston the depositor had
closed his account, drawing all the balance
and left the city. The same game it was
discovered had been attempted at the Mer.
chants National Bank, but failed to work
The case has been kept very quiet, and the
police as yet have obtained no clue to the
whereabouts of the stranger.

The Albany journal says: Since that
memorable morning in November of $780,
when the country learned the full measure
of Garfield's wonderful and sweeping
triumph. no such .iublant news has fallen
upon republican ears as this with which
the wires from Maine are freighted. Fuss
ion Is dead. The mongrel and misshapen
creature born of senile Bourbonism and
callow Fialism is battered beyond recogni
ton, much less hope of life. Republican
ism is ect.proud and victorious in Maine
to-day, as it was for the first time over a
quarter of a century ago. Not even the
most sanguine dared yesterday to hope
for so grand a success as this which our
news columns outline to-day. As an
inspiration and an incentive to
the republicans in this and other States
whose fight at the polls has yet to be
made, the value of the achievement in
Maine can hardly be over-estimated.
There is no republican in the land who
does not to-day find his faith in the party's
future made firmer. and his zeal to con-
tribute his mite of effort and aid toward a
generel triumph in November, quickened
by the news from Maine. In every other
State. the lead of the Dirigo Common
wealth will be followed by republicans
with step and spirit rendered a hundred
fold more steady and aggressive than they
have been before in years. Upon this, we
congratulate the party earnestly and
warmly.
