The Voice of Maine.

The Pine Tree State is the first to re-
spond to President Clevelands letter by
a ringing majority for the American
system of protection. When Oregon a
few months ago sounded the alarm by
majority for the Republican ticket, I'M
precedented since the days Of the war,
the Democrats treated it with disdain.
Vermont put itself on record against the
Mills bill and the free trade tendencies
Of the administration by protest that
res9unded from one end Of the country
to the other, but the Democrats affected
ignorance of the lesson it conveyed -
Maine puts itself in line with Oregon
and the Green Mountain State, with
majority for the Republican ticket as
gratifying as it was unexpected, the lar
gest since the war, with the exception,
perhaps, of the phenomenal vote when
the PineA inquest office ia the ma
tons gift. The State was thoroughly
canvassed by both parties Hundreds
of speakers from ali sections Of The coun.
try were pressed into the service by
Democrats whose efforts were directed
towards reducing the 10000 majority
given for the Republican ticket two
years ago But the chief dependence of
the Democratic managers was the third
party In their misguided zeal to de-
s;roy the Republican party, the Prohibi-
tionsts allowed themselves to believe
that they would double their vote of
1886. 1t is to be hoped that the returns
from Maine have undcceived them, and
shown them the folly of their ways. As
in Oregon and Vermont, so also in
Maine, has the Prohibition vote fallen
off. Voters everywhere recognize that
it is a condition which confrOnts them,
and not theory, and that the over
shadowing issue in this campaign is that
laid down by the President in bis De-
cember message, and by the Democratic
party in the Mills bill. BY largely
increased majority, Maine declines to
range itself on the side Of free trade,
and to sacrifice the system which has
made the country prosperous above eve
ry other on the face of the earth. Maine
is satisfied with existing conditions, and
refuses to change them for mere theo-
ries. Her answer to Mr. Blalne's APP
peal is but the prelude to still greater
triumphs in November.

the free list This may ~; be in his
mind an abrupt and radio p change,
but even any attempt at reasoning to
demonstrate such a position is wanting
One thing is manifest from a pcrusal
of the letter Mr. Cleveland has awak-
cncd to the fact that his message to Con-
gress. the bill framed upon it, aud the
policy outlined at -: Louis have not
awakened popular wave, as he had con-
lidently hoped; aud so, in his formal let
ter Of acceptance, withheld until less
than two months before the election. he
endeavors TO s'rad1le the issue which he
himself provoked, and afford agreeable
reading at the same time to those on the
ranches Of Texas aud those in the mills
Of New jersey aud Connecticut. In
this eudcayor he has followed the tradi-
tional policy Of his party, but the rusr
will not succeed Ills own acts and
those Of his friends have shown too con
clusively the real purpose and intent,
AMI the only result will be to weaken
the confidence of those who have hither.
to been his earnest supporters. The
straightforward, manly ayowal Of con.
vic'ion will command the respect even
Of those who differ from it, but in the
man who endeavors to place himself or
Numerically opposite sides of ques-
ton no one can have confidence.
The Mugwumps sill possibly be sur
prised at the silence on tie SUBJECT of The
tcirsl service, but in this respect he. is il
tousr with the platform of his party, anC
hardly any words that he could hav,
penned would have appeared other thar
ridiculous to the last degree, when the
record of the appointments of the las
three years and half were considered
There is nothing in the letter to show
why its preparation should have con
sumcd so much time, and the fact tina
the Democratic campaign book has ap
peared without it adds to the strength o
that work Baltimore American.
