Blaine's resi- dence, and in response made a congratula- \ tory speech. The latter said in substance \ that the Republicans had beaten their record ' in the State, and in spite of the most per- Eistent opposition they have met for 30 years | in which he had participated in Maine poli- tics. They had encountered more none with . systematic attempt to use 1t corruptly than \ ever before in the history of Maine elections. N He said: Every oficeholder taking his I cue from the President's subscription of $10,- \ 900, and believe thrt under the civil ser vice rules of the administration, 20 per cent. was tho rule this year (great applause), they have paid out of their salaries at that rate. | Even those who needed every cent of their msagre pay have been seized by their collars \ as highwayman seizes his victim with the cry of stand and deliver for this presidential
 in our hands, without patronage of any kind to use or misuse, the Republicans of Maine, who know their principles and their aims and know what they mean when the vote to sustain them, have risen against the free traders with one great effort and have triumphed as we never triumphed before. And now we send Il greeting to the President with his $10,00O subscription and the twenty per cent. on of fee holders and tell them that if the execu- tive subscription had been $20, 900 and forty per cent had been levied we would only have put another and yet another thousand on the majority"
