A letter of peculiar significance appeared III
! The Sun on Monday, conspicuouSly placed and
made more prominent by "leading." The
name of the author is not given, but he says of
! his letter:
II is enough for those TO whom 1t is addressed TO know
that il comes from an old man. Old farmer, an old

The name of very distinguished Democratic
leader will naturally occur to many citizens of
! Ncw-YOrk, upon reading these words. The
writer anirms that "unleSs there is a great
change the result is inevitable. and the NOM
inees of the Democratic party are dsastrously

no reason to expect. But, he urges, the Demo

dates should magnanimouSly say to the cCm-
" mittce that the party is evidently dissatisfied
(" and divided" and should therefore withdraw
With new candidates, the writer urges, success
would now be assured.
This appeal does not appear to be made by a
man who is ignorant of the obstacles to be
overcome. He says with truth, "it would be no
"rehection upon Governor Cleveland if he
"would say that in his own judgment it would
abe better to substitute the name Of Mr.. Til
eden" If Governor Cleveland would take
that course, clearly the step in itself would be
not dlscreditable, but only a recognition of
facts which cannot be bOtted out. The writer
Of this letter adds that "he has no hatred or
hostility toward Mr.. Cleveland" and the tone
of his letter is free from such feeling except it
he in the single statement that "he cannot sup-

VERHON

The result in Vermont is all that the Repub-
leans have expected. No effort has been
wasted in that State because the result there
was certain, and because in spite of any
effort, the vote would probably have been light.
In the absence of any especial pains to call out
the voters, the vote is light on both sides, and
the usual proportion of Republican votes gives
smaller majority in numbers than if the
vote were full.
Nor is it strange that some ardent friends of
Senator Edmunds, who had hoped for his nOmi-
nation, are disappointed and less Jealous than
usual. A leader of different qualities, by
powerful appeals to the personal attachment
Of his friends, might have aroused their zeal,
as Mr.. Blaine did in Maine four years ago, when
his friends there were disappointed at the nOmi-
nation Of General Garfield. But Mr. Edmunds
has never been in that sense a party leader
lie never makes any effort to kindlc the zeal of
others, and is not to be blamed because he did
not attempt new course this year. The Re
publicans of Vermont have nOtexactly covered
themselves with glory" in the customary
campaign phrase, but they have amply shown
that they have a sincere and staunch regard
for Republican principles, which personal dis
appointment does not destroy.

Ia the light of these Facts, the Only compjn-
son that can be honestly made Is with the last
full vote. prior to the Presidential election OF
1850. and any Republican majority will show a
gain of strength. If the Republicans now have
"A majority of 10000. against G,soG two years
ago with 500 opposition votes not
pollcd. it will be more than Il
satisfactory Improvement and will indicate
that the party is decidedly stronger and more
united than il was when it elected President
Garfield in 1850. II is part of The Democratic
system of deception to quote The TRIBUNE as
claiming a majority of - 600 in Maine, where
as no such expectation has been inlulged. for
the history of the State since the rise OF the
GIeonback party warrants no such expectation.
One or two enthusiastic correspondents have
talked about | 900 as a possible result, bu
TRE TRIBUNE has held IN the light Of the re-
turns for the past eight years, that 10000
would be very great majority anu an over
whelming Democratic defeat.
The struggle in Maine is nearly over. The
Democrats are spending money, as they did
four years ago; failing to convince the people
by argument, they are trying to corrupt them
by bribery. The free-trade boilers have or
ganized, scattered circulars and ISLANDERS all
over the State, and pretend to have a support
amounting to thousands of votes. IT, with a
full vote, they fail to give the State to the
Democrats, it will be proof that then boasts
are false and their SANDERS vain and fluitlcSs.
ANY majority whatever in Maine, with vote
exceeding IL, 900, will prove that the Republic
cans have gained more votes from the oppos-
ton since General Garfield was elected than
they have lost by the boiting of free traders
and the defamation of Mr.. Blaine. But TIE
| TRIBUNE trusts that the people of Maine will
not be content with bare victory over British
free trade. but will make the majority decisive
and overwhelming They know, better than
the people of other States, how base are the
ISLANDERS with which Mr.. Blaine has been as.
sailed. and ought to rebuke them by full vote
and a majority greater than was given in 1852.
Their Democratic majority four years ago did
not prevent the election Of General Garfield,
though it made the task of his supporters much
harder Thousands who now regret that they
listened to the SANDERS against him, if they
will concentrate their votes upon the excellent
State ticket this year, do much to teach the
free traders that base fiioehoods and dishonest
pretenccs cannot prevail in this country.
