The result of the election in Maine is the
chief tonic of conversation at the Capitol to-
dap. and as is natural is viewed through the
classes of those who look Mt it. The repuo
loans, mouths are stretched horizontally

Payson, one of them, says, they nave 10 Gu
ter the doors of the House sideways. Ihey
say the result shows that the entre North
will be solldly republican. The democrats,
on the contrary, say that with all the eHol'
the republicans made to carry the otate,
with MIR Blaine there to help them, Win
the lumber and fish interests IN their favor,
and with the threatened danger to the traue
of Portland from the Presidents retaliation
nroclamatiou. the wonder is that their ma
| i,rity was not larger, and that it is nothing
mt another case of the Dutch having taken
| Holland.

and the delay 10 the adoption OF those
measures caused by the republicans, nave
made California such doubtful state thel

hle not oplv to help to save the State but 10
secure their own reelection, which Is salu

the Presidents letter OF acceptance, he says
it is directly ct variance with all the recent
public expressions OF the Virginia democfa'
cy on the subjects to which II refers.
