the Old Parties In Various
States.
Special to the REcoRD-USroN.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-THE Democratic
National Committee has issued the fol-
lowing address: The Democratic National
Committee congratulates the country on
the result of the recent State elections in
Maine, Vermont and Arkansas. In Ar
kansas the combined opposition fell short
by over $4,000 of the vote of the Democ-
racy alone. This brought dismay to the
combination in the South and its manip-
ulators. In Maine and Vermont the con-
tests were conducted on distinctly ma
tional issues. The Republican managers
appeal summoned to its aid all the potent
resources of their national organization,
with an exhaustless treasury and splen-
did equipment Of orators. The campaign
of our adversaries for a triumphant test
vote in these States, so carefully planned
and so thoroughly and forcefu1ly exc
cuted, ended in conspicuous disaster. Our
friends everywhere are entitled to take
fresh courage from the results.
