The Spring Elections.

The Democrats who find anything 10 rejoice

be 'pleasel with rattle ticked with a straw"
Al the meeting of the Fusion State Committee
in Augusta on the 18th ult it was agreed that
a big fight should be made against the Republic
cans in the spring elections" The Republicans
do not appear to have lost any sleep after this
proclamation was published, nor do we hear Of
there having been in any city or town special
efforts made to contest the elections. The ''b
fighting was LIT to the nondescript party gem

various DISCUSSES to suit special localities But
it is the same old ass in the lions skin every

ed are Portland. Lewiston and Rockland. In
Portland the Democratic candidate for Mayor
was elected, but the Republicans have major
ity of the city government, and the aggregate
vote for ceuncilmen shows a Republican major
ity in Portland of about 80. The Advertiser
says This is very nearly the plurality of votes
received by Mr.. DeeTin@. 1t appears then that
