He Declares That the Result Il just
Everybody Expected
BATH, Me-, Sept. 16.-George E.
Hughes, chairman of the Democratic
State committee, said:
1.-THE result is just what everybody
expected. The only significant thing
about it is the large vote given for the
Democratic candidate and free silver
after such a short campaign.
"The Republican managers have
worked night and day, spent thou
sands of dollars and poured SPELL
binders from other States in upon US
by the score in an effort to secure a
majority that they could point to us
and say: See what Maine has done:
free silver is not wanted here. The
majority shows that the people do not
want il
THE result indicates nothing def
mite. Before the campaign opened it
vas evident that it was absolutely i'm
possible to carry the state, and it
would have been the height of folly
to have made the attempt. There is
every reason to believe that the great
advance which free silver has made in
the state in the last few weeks will
continue, and you may be sure that
Maine will give a good account of her
self in November"

MAINE RETURNS.

PORTLAND, Maine, Sept. Returns
from remote towns and plantations
are coming i'll slowly, but it is almost
BEYOND question that the Republican
plurality will be over 4S. 900 aud it
may reach $4,000. This is at least TO-
900 owe the before phenomenal plu-
ralit- of 3s,e7S of 1894.
In Cverv county of the state the Re-
publican ticket was successful, and
almost every town showed a Replbli-
can gain. The Democratic vote is
about forty per cent less than in 1892.
About half of this went to the Re-
publican ticket and the stay-at-homes
are responsible for the other half.
The vote of the Populists and Probi-
bitionists throughout the state showed
q loss from 1892 of about twenty-six
per cent
The vote from 300 out of $40 cities,
towns and plantations is sc, e21 for
Powers and 81, l43 for Frank. In the
last election in 1894. when Cleaves
was elected by the then unprecedented
majority of 80, 900, these towns gave
the Republican ticket 56. 400 and the
Democratic "a, $50, a Republican gain
in plurality of 2,9l3 this year. Esti-
mating the vote of the missing towns

gain is kept up, the total vote will be

the Republican total is placed at 3d.

The Result In Maine.

AUGUSTA, Me-, Sept 16.-Maine has
given the Republican state ticket a
plurality of between 40, 600 and so, 900.
Hon. I. B. Reed is reelected TO the
house by over 10, 900 plurality. Tho
returns show a majority of about H.
900 for MIR. DIngley for congressman
from the Second district; over IL, 600
for Mr.. Milliken in the Third district,
and practically the same for Nj. Bou-
telle in the Fourth district
In the state legislature the Demo-
Gratis will apparently have less than
half q dozen of the representatives in
the house and not one in the senate.
The Populist and the Prohibitionist
votes have been received from only a
few towns, but it is evident that
neither party polled as large a vote as
two years ago.
Everywhere the most remarkable
gains are shown over two and foul
years ago. Not only has the Repub-
lican vote made great gains, but the
Democratic vote has fallen off, even
though the Democrats received great
accessions from the Populists, who
cast a light vote this year, preferring
to aid the Democrats rather than vote
their own ticket. In many towns
more than a third of the former Dem
cratic vote was cast for the Republican
ticket.
Two hundred towns give Powers
So, $50: Frank, 24,33O; Republican
plurality, %, GEO. The plurality of
375 for Powers, Republican,, for gov
ernor, at Bath, is the largest plurality
eve given there. For Congress
Dingley gained 254 over his 1892 plur-
atty. Bath is the home of Arthur
Sewall, Democratic candidate for vice
president.

Mckinley to Iron Men.

CANTON, O., Sept. 19.-When he ap-
peared before the 2,c0O workmen from
the Edgar Thompson Steel works of
Kinley welcomed them briefly and
then declared that a wise pro-
tective policy had made them
happy and prosperous He de-
clared that old lines had been effaced
and men heretofore opposed met on
a common platform to sustain the
-country's honor. Restoration of pub
lie an private confidence was most
necessary. This had been shaken es-
pecially by assaults made by allied
political organizations upon the credit
and currency of the country. This
new n would have to be averted
before the people could hope to have
any permanent prosperity.
sAccording to a census recently
taken by a newspaper in New York it
appears that in July, 1892, 81, en-
ployers of labor in the United States
gave work to I-4,23I hands. How was
it IN July, 1896? (Cries of Not SO
good.") The Same employers gave
work to %, 700 hands; 1881 men who
had been employed in 1892 were
thrown out of employment in 1896
and put in a state of idleness, result
ing in a loss Of more than 80 per cent
to labor. In July, 1892, the wages
paid to the I11,23l hands amounted to
S., 927. 000. In July, 1896, the earnings
of the rs, 700 hands announced to only

Mexican Dollars in Change.

A North Pennsylvania street cigar
dealer is using Mexican dollars in
making change. Each customer who
gives him 81 for fifty cents worth
of goods receives the goods and a
Mexican dollar as change The Mex
lean dollar costs him about ffty-fve
cents. A great many people are TAX
ing advantage of this to get Mexican
silver dollars for pocket pieces and
to use in their argument against free
silver,
Mexican dollars IN the United
States are not a legal tender, and
therefore pass valued at their bullion
value, just the same as if they were
silver bars. An American silver dol
lar, although containing less silver
than Mexican dollar, will purchase
two Mexican dollars. That shows
the power of the United States to
maintain the parity of silver dollar
with gold, even against the surplus
silver bullion in the market, which if
freely coined would make it much
easier. The Mexican dollar game
only emphasizes the necessity for the
Tree coinage of silver.

must therefore have a serious interest
in maintaining gold at premium.
There is little bit of truth IN this
proposition, so far as it relates to pol
lcy-holders that are lying on their
death bed or are otherwise approach
ing the brink of the grave but there
Is not word of truth in it with re-
gard to the great mass of his policy
holders. Mr.. Greene has been very
careful to have each one of these
physically examined by experts, so
as to assure himself that each is a
"good life" and ''safe risk" The
very theory upon which the life in
surancs business is founded involves
the assumption that the average of
the insured lives will last for period
long enough to render the premiums
paid for their insurance much more
than in ideminlty for all risk assum-
ed, use the granting Of policies. The
result will be that, as rule, losses
will be paid in the same kind of mon
ey as that IN the payment Of premi
uns, whether we have free coinage
or not. 1t seems fatuous in the ex-
treme for Mr.. Greene, or any other
money lender, to attempt to make the
public believe in his philanthro ply.
No so such motive inspires his threat
ening words. He is considering only
his own goli contracts-for every loan
made by insurance companies is ex-
pressly made payable IN gold-and
his avarice leads him to struggle TO
maintain gold at an unjust premium.
His hypocristy is made offensive to
the public conscience by his sugges-
ton to the effect that, even if pre-
miums have been gold, and notwith-
standing the investment of his ccm-
panv's funds in gold bearing securi-
ties, he expects TO pay his policy
holders IN money deprecated to 25
cents on the dollar, IN case of free
coinagel What lack of honest
principle you show, Mr. Greene!
Still you pose as a moral teacher.
Perhaps you may so far delude the
benighted public into believing that
free coinage will enable q debtor to
pay his debts at the rate Of 25 cents
on the dollar that they will vote for
| free coinage in the full confidence
that they have the same moral right
thus to satisfy their obligations as
you set up for your great company.
The truth is, however, that free
coinage will simply restore our mon
ey, gold as well as silver, to the parity
of value it possessed when the great

BLAINE ON SILVER.

The following are extracts from a
speech delivered in congress Febru-
ary 7th, 1878, clearly defining his
position on silver, and showing that
were the great commoner alive to day
his denunciation of the methods pur-
sued by the IN American party now
bowing down to English and Wall
street interests would be far more
vehement than when he smashed his
hat in denouncing the McKinleyism
of his own party. Here is what the
great American said on silver.
81 believe gold and silver coin to
be the money of the constitutional
deed the money of the American
people anterior to the constitution,
which that great organic law recog-
nized as quite independent OF its own
existence. No power was conferred
on congress to declare that either
metal should not be money. Con-
gress has, therefore, ID my judgment,
no power to demonetize silver any
more than to demonetize gold; no
power to demonetize either. > Few
persons can be found, ] apprehend,
who will maintain that congress
possesses the power to demonetize
both gold and silver, or that congress
