Blaine and Prohibition.

Mr. BLAINE's excuse for not voting
for or against the prohibition amend
ment to the constitution of Mainein the
recent election in that State is a very
poor dodge. He said that prohibition
was State matter, and by no action of
his would he obtrude it in the National
campaign. This is strange language in
view of the fact that the election was a
State election. Conceding that prohi
bition was State matter it seems that
Mr.. BLAINE was called on as a citizen of
the State to express his wish on the sub
ject. The miserable excuse he gave for
not doing SO is tantamount to saving
that candidate for a national Office
ought not to have any opinions about
State matters, because if he be allowed
to hold opinions it follows that he ought
to express them at the polls when op-
pOrtunity is offered.
The conduct of Mr.. BLAINE is charac-
teristic OF the man. He was by circnm-
stances placed in position which made
it doubtful which of two courses it
would be of most advantage to follow.
Being unable to decide the question he
abandons principle and assumes the role
of the artful dodger. His life is made
up of just such trickery. Hitherto it
has served him a useful purpose, but
now that his methods are understood,
they are despised, and he as the author
of them will meet, as he justly deserves,
the condemnation of all who admire
that devotion to principle which holds
party and personal success subordinate
to party and personal honesty.

The Hon. f. BARKsDALE completed
his list of appointments in Madison coun-
~ at Madison station on last Saturday.
r. C. LEE, Esq, Chairman of the
County Committee attended the several
appointments and spoke eloquently at
each of them. Senator HARVEY also
spoke with signal ability and effect at
three Of the appointments. Clubs were
organized and are in good working con-
dition at six points, and the Democracy
of Madison are fully aroused and united,
and will render good account of them
selves in November.
YELLowLY, though assured in Mai.
BARKsDALE's public announcements
that he should have fair allotment of
time, appeared at but one appointment,
Madison station, which is his home, and
that on the last day. At the close of
the discussion, by common consent it was
admitted that YELLowLY was like the
parrot that encountered mastiff-con-
siderably demoralized. The owner of
the parrot coming on the scene asked
the mastiff what had become of the bird,
which just at this time crawled from its
hiding place saying, "We've had a hell
of time, hell of time" Poor YELL
LowLY didn't even have a man to
hold the sponge for him. Every white
man in the meeting was opposed to him
and the coIored men disowned him.

HumOrs Of the Canvass.


Incidents which serve to amuse US are
never to be despised. Especially should
they be welcomed when they come as
part of political canvass which in its
general makeup is the most disgraceful
of the century. The venerable editor of
the New York Sun has been practicing
upon the credulity of its readers by con-
graduating the conductors of Harper's
HeeEly con their evident abandonment
of the advocacy of Grover CLEVELAND
as a candidate for President Of
course this was intended for a joke--a
huge joke. As a stateme mt of al
fact it could be nothing else than a
lie. LISA lie. Strange to say, however,

burg Post publishes communication
from correspondent, not over-wise, who
igns himself independent" which

The Maine Election.

The result of the election in Maine is
satisfactory to the Republicans. the
majority being in excess of what had
been claimed by their State Committee.
This majority was obtained, however,
in a State which was the home of the
Republican candidate for President, at
the close of a campaign which was
marked for its vigor and completeness
so far as the Republican side of it was
concerned, and which was not contested
by the Democrs is save in perfrnctory
way.
We do not agree with some of our
contemporaries, that the result in Maine
is unimportant. On the contrary we
think that the result is most important
If ct accomplish nothing else it has
already given enthusiasm to the Repub-
licans. Circumstances were such that a
small majority in Maine would have
been a serious blow to the Republican
cause. and would not, to corresponding
gree, have benefited the Democrats.
We do not believe that the prospects of
the Democracy have been affected by
the Maine election, except that it has in
fused new life into the canvass of the
and more and harder work
will be necessary to make the victory
sure. While heretofore the Republicans
have been able to combine all their re-
sources and energies upona single State,
they will now be compelled to give
divided attention to several, and the
Democrats viii be in better condition to
meet them by virtue of their course con-
,erning the Maine campaign.
