The Maine Democrats.

The Democrats of Maine take a very
philosophical view of the result of Mon
days election. 1t was just about what
they anticipated, and they re: not a little
satisfaction ont of the efforts of the Re-
publicans to feel good over their victory.
The comparative returns are summed up
substantially as follows: Bodwell is
elected by about 10, 000plurality and 10, 900
majority over both his opponents, while,
two years ago, ROBBIE was elected by an
actual majority of over ID 900, and the
Legislature is no longer unanimously Re-
publican.
1t is now said the Democrats lacked
effective organization, although they
seem to have showed up very well at the
polls. Their candidate for Governor was
a comparatively poor farmer, while the
Republican candidate was a millionaire
manufacturer, who freely opened bar'l
for the use of his campaign committee.
The Maine Democrats truly say that
the election furnishes no result common
surate with the effort which Mir. Blaine
has put forth to give it national charac-
ter and scope. The mere success
of Mr.. Blaine's ticket for Gov
ernor, members OF the Legislature
and Congressman means nothing. A
popular revolution alone at this time
could effect anything different. The Re-
publican majority has fallen off q per
cent. throughout the State, even under
the most strenuous efforts to maintain it
at the figure shown at the last election,
and Gov. Robbie, with far less available
campaign funds than Mr.. Bodwell. and
with less eXertion, secured a majority
nearly half as large again as BodwelPs.
Mr.. Blaine's endeavor to make this a
Presidential year has thus resulted In
failure. He has elected all his Congress-
men, to be sure, and has made Legisla-
ture that will send MIR. Hale back to the
Senate, but he has failed to arouse the
people in any degree that his partisans
can call encouraging.
The Democrats admit that they did not
bring out as large vote as they should
have done. They acknowledge that there
was apathy in their ranks in some sec
lions, owing to dissatisfaction with the
distribution OF Federal Offices. In Wash
ingtcn county alone, they say, over 200
Democrats deliberately staid away from
the polls, and 1t is believed the independ-
ent candidates of the Knights of Labor in
jured the Democrats more than they did
the Republicans. In Cumberland county
the Democratic vote was reduced by dl-
visions, aud thus the election of Reed to
Congress was assured.
1t ia acknowledged that there was gen.
eral apathy on both sides in nearly every
part of the State, and the fact that this is
the case after the extraordinary efforts
made to excite Republican enthusiasm
and prejudices, is convincing proof that
even in Name the people are satisfied
that the country is safe.

An English paper has discovered the
secret OF Prince Alexander's abject tele-
gram TO the Car. 1t says: 1.-THE Prince
was taken in again. very high and
weighty influences were operating in St.
Petersburg to smooth over the quarrel
between the Car and the Prince, and the
latter was told that be must do everything
in his power to assist his intercessors and
mollify the Gar. Then came the Russian
Consul at Rustchuk, and perhaps limited
that if Prince Alexander would show
himself very submissive, indeed, the En-
peror would leave off being angry. So
the Prince sent his humble message, only
to find that he had been entrapped once
more, and had humiliatcd himself that he
might be insulted in the face of the world.
1t is an explanation which may not be
entirely creditable to the Prince. But,
80 far as regards the Russians. it is quite
conceivable. 1t Is all of piece with the
diplomacy Of the Batoum population and
the strategy OF the Sofia abduction"

committee, but the recent explosion ac-
complished it," There are many cities in
this country, 1t is believed, in which the
auditing committees do too much con-
venient slumbering. There is growing
demand everywhere for officials and COM
mittees that know their duties and that

II has oftened been claimed that the
country prospers most that is NOT too

automatic, self-govorning country like
ours is meant to be, can get along very
nicely for month or so every year, while
the President goes fishing and tue Oabi-
net officials get chance TO shift the
weight of responsibility on to the shout

Indications that the country has suffered
during the vacation, and let it congratu-
late both itself and the administration on
the fact that everything is lovely just
now, except the outlook for the Republi-

The nice little story about Second AS
sistant Secretary OF State Thompson try
ing to get his son to resign, or to have him
dismissed from a position gained under
the civil servicerules, must be taken with
due share OF allowance. The fact that
the young man obtained such a position
is to his credit, and II his father were to
ask for his resignation Or dismissal he
would be doing violence to the spirit of
The civil service law, which protects him
III his position. 1t lie not believed on this

Gov. Hin got II, 1874 more votes last year than
Mr.. Ira Davenport and yet tire Repuh. lean
majority IN the Legisl" ture was 81. There
ought to be a Democratic senator from New

Republican patriots who are in the habit Of
storm ing at the South for the oppression of a
helpless majority of c0lored voters would do
well tOturn their attention To Connecticut and

OF fair representation here are white. And
