THE New York Tribune. in an article
on the Congressional nominations. says:
a record of candidates nominated for
Congress thus far, which is not perfect
but covers nominations made within the
past two months, disclose some interest
ing facts. Out of 70 members of the
present Congress. sc have been renomi-
mated and % defeated for denomination.
But analysis by parties shows that
while l6 Republicans have been renom-
mated and only 2 defeated, so far as
this list covering 10 districts indicates,
there have been forty Democrats renom-
mated and 81 defeated. This indicates
a rather unusual degree of dissatisfac-
tion among Democratic voters with their
present Representatives in Congress. and
it must be admitted by other people that
their dissatisfaction is excusable. Of
the 81 Democrats whose nominations
were defeated, all but one are from
former slave States. But it is
possible that some indication of the
meaning of this change may be found
in the records of the 10 nembeas on the
tariff question. Out of 20 members who
voted against the Morrison bill. Is Re
publicans and Democrats have been
renominated, while one Republican and
two Democrats have been defeated. But
out of 50 members who voted for the
Morrison bill, IS Democrats and one Re-
publican have been renominated. while
10 Democrats and one Republican have
been defeated. Remembering that the
changes have been made mainly at the
South, and that the rapid development
of industries in that section has justified
some hope that the old free trade tradi-
tions would give way to more rational
sentiment, it is at least possible that the
pig-headed adhesion of nearly all South
ern Democratic members to free trade
notions has been one cause of the unu+
sual mortality among them this year.
1t does not appear, of course, for what
reason members of the present Congress
are set aside. But the unusual disposi-
Lion to change in the very section where
change has hitherto been most rare, re-
sultiDg in the defeat of about third of
the members who voted with Mr.. Nor
rison from the districts iD which nomi+
nations have thus far been made. may
perhaps serve as notice to other Free
Traders that the most active, influential
and progressive men, even of Southern
districts, are beginning to understand
that votes for British interests are not
needed in an American Congress.

THE Ohio Democratic press is endeav-

Mcbride, the Democratic nominee for
Secretary of State, because he has been
sued for $4,000 damages in a Columbus
court, by a Democrat named Nyswan-
der, who charges him with debauching
his wife. The woman denies it and Nc
Bride pleads not guilty. The truth of
the matter remains to be ascertained by
the court. The efforts of the Democrats
tokeep the scandal before the public,
indicate that they think there is good
luck in charges of social sins, when
made against one of their candidates.

The Victory in Maine.

The result of yesterdays election in
Maine will be gratifying to all Republit
cans. 1t shows that the vitality of the
Republican party has not been impaired
by the national defeat in 1884. The Dem
ocrats had little hope of carrying the
State themselves, it is true, but they
hoped by encouraging the Prohibition
movement to so cut down the Republi
can plurality as TO make the election ap.
pear to be a moral defeat for that party.
They have predicted that the Republican
candidate for Governor would not have
more than beggarly plurality, and at
times they talked themselves into the
belief that he would have none at all.
But all their hopes. as well as any Re-
publican apprehensions that may have
been felt, are dissipated by the returns.
Gov. Robie carried the State 10 1882 by
S.S75 plurality. Two years ago, running
on the same ticket with Blaine for Pres
ident, he was reelected by 1900 plural
ity, in total vote of 14O,436. The re-
turns of this election are compared with
those of 1884 in our telegraphic dis
patches They show that in this ''off
year" contest the Republicans have
about doubled their pluralities of 1892,
and well nigh equaled the great success
achieved in 1884. Bodwell, the Repub+
lican candidate for Governor, is elected
by a plurality of about $1,000, basing the
calculation upon the returns from two
thirds of tie State heard from at the
time of writing this. All four of the
Republican candidates for Congress are
elected by handsome plura!ities. The
Democrats hoped to defeat Congressman
Reed. but he is reelected by largely
increased plurality, The Legislature
will have large Republican majority,
insuring the election of Republican to
succeed Senator Hale, whose term e1-
pires in March next. The Prohibition
lists confidently talked of polling 10000
votes. and their canvass was the most
active they had ever made, being direct
ed with the avowed purpose of defeat
ing the Republican ticket. The result
discounts their expectations about 20
per cent. The Republicans of Ohio con-
gratulate their friends in Maine on the
handsome victory won yesterday, and
will be inspired by it to renewed exer-
tions and an even happier and more sigr
nilicant result.-Cleve. Leader, Tuesday.
