The Victory in Maine.

The result in Maine can be nothing
but highly satisfactory to the Repub
licans of the country. 1t far exceeds
the Democratic estimates, and goes
even beyond the expectations of the
Republicans. The vote represents q
clear gain of between ten and twelve
thousand over the election of 1880,
when the Democratic-G reenback fu-
sion movement swept the state. This
was scarcely to be hoped for. as the
Democrats had made vigorous still
hunt, and had spent thousands of
dollars to keep the majority down.
Then, again, there were FIVE tickets
In the field, which tended to split up
the vote, and to interfere with a cor.
rect measurement OF the relative
strength of the two parties. But
with all these disadvantages, the Re-
publican ticket went through BOOM
ingly, with majority that will
probably reach eighteen thousand.
Gratifying as this result is, it is an
additional matter of congratulation
that every Republican candidate for
Congress was elected. Mr.. Reed was
triumphantly elected in the face of
bitter opposition, and Maine will
send to the next Congress an unbrok-
en- delegation of her best and ablest
Republican statesmen, with Mr..
Reed as their efficient leader.
A particularly strong point in the
election was the pronounced Irish
American support that rallied around
the Republican cause. 1t was plain
ly Indicative of the enthusiasm that

did not put off their good work by
waiting to vote for Blaine, but they

AUGUSTA, Me-, September 9.-The
following dispatch was sent to Cen
eral Logan: "The result of the cleo
ton may be thus summarized: The
Republicans have carried every coun.
ty in the State, with the possible ex.

They have elected twenty-nine Sena-
tors. They have chosen four.fifths
of the representatives of the Legisla-
ture ; have elected four Representa-
tives in Congress by large majorities
and have given Governor Robbie a
popular majority of II. 900. The Re-
publican vote will reach nearly 8O,-

The Farmer and the Tariff,

The great object Of the protective
tariff is to create diversified industries
more than to foster any special class.
The farmer reaps his reward where
manufactures are promoted by tariff
laws, and he is not a sufferer, as
is claimed by the theoretical free
traders. Protection not only benefits
the farmer but the farm laborer.
In regard to this phase of the all
important issue of the campaign the
New York Tribune says: compare,
for example, the two States Of Michi-
gan and Indiana. In manufactures
and non-agricultural pursuitsis fifty.
eight; in Indiana it is forty-eight.
The reports of the Department OF
Agriculture prove that the value per
capita of farms per acre and also OF
the products of agriculture, consti-
tuting the farmers income, is greater
in Michigan than in Indiana, and
also that higher wages are paid to
farm laborers. When both Michigan
and Indiana are compared with States
which have made greater progress III
manufacturing, and contain smaller
proportion of agricultural population,
the same rule is found to hold true.
Diversity labor, promote new indus
tries, and establish successful manu-.
features, and you will benefit the
farmers by creating markets close al
hand, and by making their land and
their products more valuable. anG
thereby adding to their income, anC
you will increase the wages, not only
of artisans employed in new manu-
featuring enterprises, but of laborert
as well. Protection protects the farm
er in very real sense.

What Mr.. Marine Saw up North
(Baltlmore American. 10Th inst,l

Baltimore American. 10th inst.)
Mr.. William M. Marine reached
this city on Sunday, after an absence
of a few weeks in New York State
and in Canada. He spent several days
in New York city, as well as in the
extreme northwestern part of the
state. There were everywhere the
most cheering signs. Banners, with
the names of Blaine and Logan en-
blazOned. upon them, were twice as
numerous as those Of all others. He

on the political outlook, he remarked
that In Buffalo, Mr.. Cleveland's

thought it was composed entirely OF
those who formerly COMPOSED the
Know.Nothjng party. He found,
however, that, at the breaking up of
the latter sits broad-guage men had
affiliated with the party of broad and
national principles, and that the mar
row-minded and bigoted found a more
congenial companionship with that
party that arrayed itself on the side
of slavery and provincial Democ-
racy."
He repudiates the Democracy and
thus speaks of Cleyeland Who is
this man-this political accident, this
mushroom statesman. whose name is
fOisted on the masses by the bIunder-
ing bosses of the Democratic party :?
They say that he was Buffalo law
yer, but if ever he had brains enough
to make a lawyer. he never would re-
tire from his practice to become a
Sheriff and a hangman. He never
was a member of the Legislature and
never took an active part in discuss
ing the political issues of the day for
the simple reason that he was man
of such small calibre that he was not
interested in such things. His letter
is silent on the Tariff question, silent
on our foreign relations, silent on all
questions demanding manly, out
spoken and independent utterances,"

procession was formed on Water

storm of cheers and addressed the
assembled people as follows
FELLOW CITIZENS AND OLD
FRIENDS: The Republicans of Maine
may well congratulate themselves on
the magnificent victory which they
have won. Four years ago this

majority for Governor Robbie of per-

The cause of this Democratic oyer.
throw, gentlemen, is known to us all.
Our canvass has been conducted on
one great issue. Our papers have
kept that constantly before the pee
pie. Every speaker from every plat
form has enumerated, defended, and
enforced the isse of protection to
American labor. The tariff has been
almost the only question discussed in
our canvass and the people have re-
sponded nobly. They understand the
subject fully. They know the details
Of the Morrison tariff bill, anil they
read therein the precise results of

should obtain control of the National

people of Maine have protested

today on the side of protection to

Mr.. Hendricks did not harm hi

Mr.. Hendricks did not harm his
party much by his letter of accept
ance ; but his Dubuque letter of Au.
gust q goes far toward making up
the damage which his opponent had
right to expect he would do. In
this imprudent epistle, the Tail of
the Ticket defends the Head, saying
that the present unfortunate scandal
about Mr.. Cleveland should have no
weight with the people, "because
three times he has stood the test of
popular canvass and each time has
received the Endorsements of his neigh
bors by vote largely above his par
TVS strength" This argument is
weak principally because it is entire
ly untrue. Every time that Mr.. Cleve.
land ran for Office, as a Democrat
merely, he fell below the party vote /;
first. when he wanted to be District
Attorney and was defeated; and
again when he was elected Sheriff by
about 200 votes. Even then he fell

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent


WASHINGTON. D. c., Sep. 8, 1884.
The death of Secretary Folger
though not wholly a surprise, in
view of his enfeebled condition, was
still unexpected and something of a
shock. The latest reports received
here had given assurance of his prob
ably recovery. Judge FOlger from
the very beginning of his career as
Secretary of the Treasury, devoted
personal attention to the duties and
details of the Office which no Secre-
tary had done before him, and which
involved labor beyond his physical
strength to endure. He insisted up.
on reading every letter, receiving
every visitor and debating every ac-
ton. There were reasons, as deyel-
opponents proved, for his personal
examination into the affairs of the
department. and he might have car
ried this examination still further
with profit to the Government, but
he undertook entirely too much
work in small matters of detail. In
addition to this, the disastrous Cam
paign of 1882, in New York, in which
he was made the innocent and un.
fortunate victim, was shock from
the effects of which he never fully re-
covered.
Despite the overflow in the vaults
of the Treasury, the minis still turn
out two millions of silver dollars
every month, room for which has to
be provided either here or at the
different sub-treasuries throughout
the country. At the Treasury here
there is now stored one hundred mill
lion of these silver dollars, which
weigh an aggregate of three thous-
and one hundred and twenty-five
tons, there being thirty-two thousand
of them to the ton. The new Treasury
vaults containing this vast amount of
silver are now in course of being con-
nected with the floor above by an
elevator. so that there will be some
thing like half an acre of room de-
voted exclusively to this not alto
gether precious metal. The money
is all in canvass bags. some of which
have been on hand so long that they
have become rotten and incapacita-
ted for duty. To form some idea of
the time and care taken in the hand.
ling of the peoples money. it may be
stated that the removal of six millions
of dollars in bags from one vault to
another occupies three weeks of time,
as each load of money must be watch
ell constantly while in transit by the
Treasurer himself, who alone is re-
sponsible for the absence and presence
of every cent. The nicely with which
the accounts have been kept, is ap-
parent when we are officially inform.
ed that the discrepancy between the
account of money accounted for by
Mr.. GilfiIlan eight years before he
left the Office, and that on hand on
the day that he resigned, was just one
cent, after paying out more than
thirteen millions of dollars.

my mind that there existed no good
grounds by which the Democratic

my vote because happened to be an
Irishman. l weighed with care and
dellberation the merits of the two

to the conclusion that neither as an
Irishman nor as an adopted citizen of
America could Mr.. Grover Cleveland
have my support. The case of Mr..
John Dewey, on which you so per-
sistently harp, and which you have
again and again referred to as the
only ground of my opposition to Mr..
Cleveland, was only one of the many
objections which l entertained to that
gentleman. did indeed consider the
treatment melted to Mr.. DevOy of the
