THE falsehoods circulated by the
democracy concerning democratic
gains and republican losses in Maine,
continue, and probably will, until
after election, as they are published
wilfulIy, and for political effect in
other states. The truth is, such re-
publican gains as were made in
Maine, if made in New York or New
Jersey, would insure both these states
to the republicans this year.

THE Waco Day, while boldly de-
elaring that there is no doubt of
Mills reelection, and scouting the
idea of defeat, is evidently whistling
to keep up his own courage, and en-
couragiHg his faint heart with prOph-
ecies of what it desires as most like
Iy to secure their fruitiOn. The Day
says:
at is anything but wisdom to let
the canvass in this county and dis
trict lag. Carlisle's people were sure
he had a walkover in Kentucky two
years ago"
There is a deep suggestiveness of
untoward results to Mills in this
caution that will not pass unnoticed.

THE great northwestern states,
alarmed at the tendency towards
Texas and fearful that the tide of inn
migration will turn towards the
southwest, are making capital out of
false reports concerning the insecure

down to $4,000, and return two or
three republican congressman and
that cry will die out like a morning
breeze at monday heat. 1t would be
a mighty good thing for good govern
