that some way or other the death OF
Secretary of the Treasury Folgsr is to
work wonderful revolution in New
York in favor Of Performer" Cleveland
and the Democratic party.
A LARGE proportion of the Irish voters
of Maine voted the Republican ticket
this year. This indisputable fact, fully
proved by the returns, is sufficient an
swsr to those foolish Democratic journ-
ais and politicians who pretend that the
Irish detection in the Democratic party
does not amount to much.
The expenses of the Republican cam
paign In Maine this year was $5,472 less
than in 1880, when the Fusionists car
ried the state against the Republicans;
and the Republican National committee
sent no money into the state. In the
face of these facts the Democratic talk
about the Republican use Of money in
the campaign Is ridiculous.
The Monday morning Of the election
the Bourbon New York World in flaming
headlines wrote; "The handwriting is
on the wall! the Democrats have the con-
fidence Of the people; the Republicans
have forfeited it and lost it, Turn the
rascals out" Two days later it turned
itself inside out in wailing; ''Froad,
froadp Men marched to the polls in
Maine and voted like cattle" 'Voters
bought with money"
NEW YORK SUN Dem): After Vermont,
next in their disappointment and dis
pair Democrats turned to Maine, and
staked all their ready means on the
home of the Plumed Knight. But Blaine
proves no ''deadhead' in Maine, where
he has many personal rivals; and now
what nextp Let Grover Cleveland mod.
estly retire, and let the Democrats adopt
Butler, or take up Hendricks, Thurman,
Bayard, or Randall, and all may yet be
saved.
THE Republican majority In Maine is
strong evidence of the sympathy Of the
masses Of the people with the Republic
can party and policy. While the Repub-
licans were only claiming majority of
from 10000 to 1900, the Democrats
were claiming that in order to have any
Significance in the Presidential cam
paign the majority should be at least
10000. That figure has been reached,
and according to their own admissions
it signifies the defeat Of the Democratic
presidential candidates.
In an interview Mr.. Elkins said, when
asked about the reported detection of
ex-Secretary Bristow and Gen. Francis
A. Walker: "Bristow has bean saying for
several months even before the Chicago
Convention that he would not support
Blaine and no one expected he would.
Walker has never been in sympathy
with the Republican party and has new
er voted the ticket except when some
particular friend Of his was a candidate.
He is a free-trader and n Democrat,
although he had been appointed to Office
by Republican administration. don't
believe word Of the story about Ham,
ilton Fish. His son Hamilton Fish Jr.,
is actively engaged in the support of the
ticket, and was In consultation with us
last night"
D. G. BLINN, of Bay City, organizer for
the Knights of labor in that district
was in Detroit last Thursday. Accord
ing to the Evening News he says there
is no doubt G. f. Gibson, the Republican
candidate for Congress in the 10th dis
trict will be elected. "Gibson is with
u.s." said Blinn land he will receive the
vote of nearly every knight in the dis
trict. Up our way the country is pretty
we'll sprinkled with knights Of labor as
semblies. My last assembly was organ
lied in Vassar two weeks ago, but /
shall organize in Grayling, Gaylord and
Tuseola in few days. Before the first
Of November there will be at least IL
more assemblies in 10th Congressional
distsict."
The day Of the election in Maine the
New York World, Democratic, said: "The
Republicans Of Maine have sent out
word TO the country that they only ex-
pect to score majority of 10000 to-day.
