The more the vote in Vermont and
Maine is snalyzed, the more bitter the
pill becomes to the republicans. As to
the result in the latter state there are
some significant facts beyond The gen.
eral loss of more than two.thirds Of
the republican majority. Blaine
did not register, and war
thus no, qualified to vote, and his
home city gave only $50 majority as
against 500 at the preceding election.

condition of the national finances. The
republicans are strenuOusly endeavcr-
ing to cover up the tracks brought
about by the reckless expenditures Of
the administration, but it should be
the duty Of the democracy to throw
light on this subject. At the expira-
ton Of Mr.. Clevrland's term of office
there was handsome surplus in The
treasury. Since that time this surplus
has been disappeared and an ugly de-
felt takes its place Secretary Foster
is Systematically attempting to de-
ceive the people, but he is as yet
unable to persuade facts and Fl cures to
lie. A correspondent of the Phila-
delphia Ledger, who is said to be fully
informed on the condition of the Ma.
iional treasury and who never permits
party interests to suppress or color the
truth, sends a statement to that paper
which presents most appalling facts to
which the attention of the country
should be closely directed. Here they
are:

JPOTHIE IN YENE/UELA,

DISPATCHES from Caracas leave little doubt that
q period of revolution has again Overtaken the
Republic Of Venezuela Our staff correspondent
visiting that country last January faithfully re-
ported the conditions out of which this storm has
come The Venezuelans are people OF much in
telgence and force. At the same time there Is
among them an enormous population of Spanish
Indians who take no interest in the Government
as a means OF promoting industry and progress,
but who find in revolution a source OF plumber
and WHO are always ready to be led into any des-
peiate enterprise that promises such rewards
The natural consequence is that the Government
has fallen into the hands Of succession Of ty-
rants, who, if strong and patriotic have been
able to accomplish splendid results, and II mean
and vicious have involved their country in great
miseries. The present chief Executive, AndueSa,
il a man OF whom little that is good can be said
lie was put into the Presidency by Dr.
Paul upon the retirement OF that statesman thee
wears ago, and, finding himself suddenly in the
possession of treasury and an army, he has since
conducted himself with a high hand, In three
wears he has accumulated an enormous fortune
one by one his rivals have been driven into ex-
lie. and now against the express terms Of the Con-
stitution of the country, he has undertaken to
hold himself in power during second term.
Americans will hope that Anduesa will be thor
ouphly beaten. The rise Of such man is pos
sbe only in country where the Executive is
a despot, and his downfall will be exceedingly
useful in breaking up that bad system. General
Crespo. the leader of the revolutionary army, is
an intelligent negro OF considerable capacity as a
soldier and Of even greater capacity as states
man. Although he would be likely to prove him
self tyrant also yet it il reasonably certain that
his tyranny would have in it some element OF
sense and decency. and would make UP in good
and patriotic motives what it lacked in mildness
OF all available statesmen he would unquestiOn-
ably make the safest President. III he shall sue
