The Rev. DIR. Rust's sermons on the
causes and cure Of iniemperance are at
tracing attention and favorable comment
abroad. The Oaio State Journal, of
Thursday morning. in a leading editorial,
alludeS to the second sermon of the series
as follows:
While our readers will not all agree with
all of Dr. RuSt's propositions, they will no
doubt consider the advice in pleasant con-
traSt with the miSchievouS partisan rawlings
OF such men as Leonard and ST. John. Ii
may be remarked that all. or nearly all. the
careful and reasonable thinkers of DR..
RUSt's school seem 20 regard it as necessary
Ia wind up their talks by a recommendation
of constitutional prohibition. In some
cases they are no doubt deeply sin
cere in this. in Others the
idea is thrown out evidently
a sort Of tub 10 the prohibition whale
Without any intention Of discussing the
matter. il may be remarked that if all the
other remedies recommended by Dr. Rust
were faithfully applied. and all his other
suggestions acted upon, prohibition in the
organic law would become wholly unneceS
sary. for under the healing influences of
those remedies and suggestions the evil Of
intemperance would have sunk to a mini
mum; and this result is the utmost that
can ever be reached. even in the opinion of
the most devoted adherentS of prohibition.
The Journal proceeds to say that ''it is a
misfortune" that in discussions of this sort
illusions to prohibition are not omitted. as
such allusionS are apt to introduce ele-
ments of distraction and division" The ar
ticle closes with the following very forcible
because truthful) paragraph:
There is little doubt that a vast majority
of the American people are opposed 10 in
temperance. and in favor of every just and
rational method that may as far as possible
eliminate it from society. Wisely advised
they will move against the evil with the
weight and power of a great and united
army. Let the temperance leaders see 10 il
that this army is not divided in face of the
enemy by the introduction of questionable
banners and watchwardS. and thus made to
suffer defeat. when il ought 10 be, and
might be, always victorious.

MAINE HAS SPOKEN.
From the Kansas Chief.

From the Kansas Chief.
The Maine election, which occurred on
Monday, would not necessarily be of great
importance, as it is a small state, and gives
a steady Republican majority. But this
state of James G.. Biaines residence, and
his enemies, both in and out of the Repub-
lican party, had determined that it was the
turning point of his fate-all confidently
expecting Republican reverse. On
the other hand it was conceded
that if the Republicans won, it
would insure his nomination for
the next presidency. He personally made
a canvass of the state Everything was
arrayed against the Republican party.
The Democrats were never more active;
the Knights of Labor, contrary to their
laws and pretentions, entered the fight, and
opposed the Republicans; while the third
party Prohibitionists made superhuman
efforts to swamp the Republican party, and
help the Democrats to victory. Not only
did the superannuated crank. Neal Dow,
work as he never worked before, but the
Kansas pis-ant, ST. John, added his ire
mendous services-at $50 a speech. The
Democratic papers hearlded the fact that
ST. John was going to beard Blaine in his
den, and they published all his little
scrceches, with a grand hurrah that the
little insect was literally roasting Blaine
alive.
The election came off Monday, and the
result is an overwhelming Republican tri-
umph over everything combined. They
have the largest majority given for years,
except in presidential years, and on light
vote, too. The Prohibition vote is simply
compared with the boastings
The combination has secured
4 few members of the legislature and few
county officers is all. The Republi
cans elected their governor, their four
members of congress, all but three state
senator's, and more than two-thirds of the
house, insuring them United States sena-
Tor.
So much for downing Blaine So much
for the efforts of the Prohibitionists to
boost the Democratic party.

THE DEMOCRATS TOMORROW.

The Democratic slate for tomorrow is
already arranged and the convention will
be called only for the purpose Of confirm
ing the action of the slate makers. The
intention is to make fight on one or two
of the Republican candidates and to trade
off the rest of the ticket in order to help the
favorites. The candidates on whom they
intend to unite their strength are now &C
lively at work begging Republicans to sup
port them and threatening Democrats with
their vengeance who express themselves as
dissatisfied with an arrangement to go back
on their friends in order to help out the
Democratic ring. Whenever some disgrun-
tied Republican gives them some hope
these modest gentlemen, with strict re-
gard for the truth, tell that there has just
been ten or fifteen Republicans to see them
who had offered to support them. Now
we can count all the kickcrs ON the present
Republican ticket on the fingers of one hand,
and some Of these have had the distemper
for year or two and scarce have enough
influence to control their own vote There
has not been Republican ticket for years
that received so large vote in the conven-
ton as the present one, and there is no ques
ton but that each candidate will be elected
by handsome majority.
