The Great Battle.

Monday was as good day as could have
been desired for the election, and the result
is that the whole vote was got out. The
people needed no special urging to record
their will this year. They were prompt and
enthusiastic, and the result shows that an
unexpected majority Of the people of Maine
are determined to support the Republican
cause and candidates. The campaign on
the part of the Republicans has been con-
Quoted with ardor. believed in their
principles and in the chosen representatives
of them, and they set about to present them
TO the people fully and clearly. The num-
Der of meetings and the character of the ad
dresses made at them have been extraordin-
AIRY. The vote Of Monday indicates that this
manner Of campaign has been effective. Our
citizens by largely increased majority de-
clare their hostility to the aims of the Dem
ocratic party and their distrust of its candi-
dates.
Full and able discussion has won to our
side numerous body of those who in all
recent years have acted with the Democratic
party. The larger number of these are work.
ingmen who have discovered that the Dem
ocratic party is a false friend, pretending to
regard their rights and foster their interests,
while, in fact, it does no such thing, but is
the advocate of measures that are inimical
and degrading. In this city large number of
Irlshmen voted the Republican ticket who
had never done so before. The eyes of the
citizens of that race are being opened to the

truth of the situation, and they have shown
commendable independence in their ac-
tiop. The same is true of almost every
place where they constitute a considerable
portion of the population, Biddeford being
perhaps an exception. That city has almost
the unique distinction of showing large
Democratic gain.
1t would be invidious where many have
done well to single out individuals for par
ticnlar compliment. While there has been
some disposition to critieise the work of
committees, as is apt to be the case, the vic
tory won will be regarded as satisfactory
vindication OF their fidelity and discretion.
The State Committee, the County Commit
tees and the local committees have done a
deal of hard and effective work and have a
right to feel satisfied with the victory
achieved. No doubt some individuals have
done more than others, and their devotion
will not fail of due recognition. But it would
not be just to credit the party committees
with the honor of the triumph. Hundreds
of citizens who had no other motive than a
patriotic one, who neither hold Office nor ex-
pect to hold office, gave time and labor with
out stint to achieve the great result Es-
pecially is this true in the Congressional
contest in this district. Scores of citizens
who place high estimate, but not higher
than is just, upon the abilities and useful
services of Mr.. Reed, determined that the
revengeful bitterness of men whose ambi-
tions or prejudices he had crossed 10 the
performance of his public duty should not
humiliate the party in the State and disap-
point the expectation of the country.
The battle has been nobly fought and no
bly, won. The Republicans of Maine have
done all that the most exactipg Republicans
OF other States could ask. 1t is for them TO
follow our example ADD better the lesson if
they eau. We have earned the right to
call upon them to make sure the victory in
November which the victory of Monday
loudly heralds.

There is no doubt that the constitutional
amendment is adopted by a large majority.
Compared with the vote for the tickets the
vote for the amendment will be small. A
large number of people were doubtless in
different towards it, thinking that its adop-
ton or rejection would do no particular good
or harm, and SO did not vote at all. The
passage of the measure will no doubt be re-
ceived with great satisfaction by the ma
jority of the prohibitionists in this and 9th
er States, and it is doubtful if single per-
son in Maine, even if he voted against it,
will feel very badly over the result. Those
who do not believe in its wisdom believe
that it is impotent

The falsehood that Hannibal Hamlin had
predicted a majority of $4,000 for Robbie,
which has been exposed hundred times,
more or less, is again trotted out by the
Democrats for the purpose of showing that
their defeat in Maine was not much of de-
feat after all. A defeat, however, which
can only be explained away by falsehood
the public will be likely to regard pretty
serious one.

1t looks as if the inquiry into the loss of
the Tallapoosa would not definitely settle
the cause of that disaster. An issue of We
racity is raised between the captain of that
vessel and the captain of the schooner that
run it down which there may be no means
of settling. The color blindness theory is
exploded by the fact that the eyesight of
the officers who had charge of the vessel has
been tested and found sufficiently good to
