NAMES ELECTION.

The news heralded across the CONT
nent after Vermont.s election filed the
people with pride, it was so good, but
from Maine the report was glorious,
the Republicans carrying the state
by $4,000, the largest plurality in
the history of the state. Maine has
generally been Republican but when
ever the Democrats have been able to
reduce the Republican majority in
Maine at the state election in Septem-
Der they have had high hopes for
success throughout the country in
November. In 1880 the Democrats
and Greenbackers in Maine fused, NOM
mating General Plainsted, an old Re
publican, for Governor, and they elect
ed him by plurality of 1S9. 1t was
the last Republican defeat in Maine,
and it was regarded as ominOus for
the party in the November election.
But Garfield carried Maine by 1888 in
November, and swept the country.
Since 1880 the Republican majOrities in
Maine have varied from 8,872 in 1889
to S9,97s in 1894. Blaine had a majority
Of 20O60 in 1884, and Harrison had a
majority of 23,253 in 1888, but in 1892
the Republican vote in Maine dropped
from 1874 in 1888 to 62,92S, and the
Republican plurality was only 1870.
This was regarded as dangerous low
water mark for the Republicans, as it
indicated large sGay-at-h home vote.
And it was indicative of the result, for
the Republican stay-at-home vote ell
ected Mr.. Cleveland. Last year Maine
gave her largest Republican majority,
3S,978, and it was indicative of Repub-
lican interest in the election. Again
Maine set the pace in September for
the Republican majorities in November.
The Democrats have been filed with
joy since the election in Arkansas, but
Mondays returns from Maine have
caused Chairman Jones and his CO.
workers no end of worry. Maine, the
home of the vice presidential Demo.
cratic nominee (Sewal) has spoken, and
Tom Watson's words are coming true.
lie said "Sewall is wart on the party,
knot on the Democratic log" What
Maine has done so also will the states
where common sense and Judgment
prevails.

THE GREAT SCRAMBLE.

The Populist and Democratic con-
ventions recently held here ought to sat
isfy anybody that political coalitions
are bound to be weak and unsatisfac-
tory. to those engaged in them. The
members all seemed to be inspired
with the spirit of the Kilkenny cats
andno sooner got together to do bust
nerS than they got together by the ears
also, and the scratching and scrambling
and squawking that preceded from the
headquarters of either political party
ought to thoroughly disgust any patri-
otto man with collisions which have
no other earthly object in view than to
secure offices. 1t would seem to us
that every intelligent voter whether
Populist or Republican would ia dc.
Tense OF the honor and decenCy Of his
party proceed at once to wipe out the
results Of this disgTaceful affair. The
convention does not seem to have
wasted moment in the discussion of
political principles. Indeed, the dele
gates seem to be thoroughly alive to
the fact that there were no principles
at issue and so devoted themselves to
fighting oyer men, 1t is notable that
the silver Republicans tried with their
usual success to inject themselves into
and become part of this conglomera.
ton which as far as is known is with
out name and certainly not entitled to
one. 1t is fortunate that there is a
fair possibility Of its meeting a lament
able death by dislntegration before the
third Of November; at any rate, it will
NOT be the fault of some of the better
R4phlists and Democrats in the county
ifblb does not occur. If it should so
happen, which is likely, that a great
majority of the silver Republicans
should come back into the Republican
fold then the POpulist and Democrat
crowd win surely be beaten.

Mr.. BRYAN scores the present ad.
ministration for issuing bonds in time
of peace to protect the public credit
Probably had not so many men con-
nected with the legislative branch OF
the administration like Mr.. Bryan, been
too busy with the new heresy Of free
silver to consider tariff, which pro.
duces revenue, the governments credit
would not be assailed. Under :he op.
eratiOns of the Mckinley law which
considered the tariff, the governments
credit was all right, and no bond issues
were needed. With shafts and factor
les closed at home under the Wilson
Law and goods coming from abroad,
which had to be paid for In gold, the
money of the commercial world, it was
but natural that there would be heavy
drafts upon the gold supply. And with
government receipts, under the Wilson
bill far below necessary expenditures, it
could not be reasonably expected that
the treasury could meet the demand
for gold.

recognized the power of enlightened
public sentiment and were guided by it.
In all that Lincoln did he invited
rather than evaded examination and
criticism. He took the people into his
confidence, even amid the vieissitudes
of war. His frankness with the @plain
people" as he called those who were
without public station or social posi-
ton, was a surprise to the public men
who surrounded him. Major Mckinley
has always possessed this same trait,
this same confidence in the plain
people. When he was chairman of the
ways and means committee and was
engaged in framing a tariff bill he
consulted the plain workmen in the
factories and on the farms regarding
the schedules as much as he did the
tariff experts. He never evaded criti-
cism or feared it. He has never had
any view on a public policy which he
feared to discuss with the people, be-
cause, like Lincoln, he has ever believed
that enlightened public sentiment was
the best guide to the man in public
life.-Inter Ocean.

sRYAN's soLILooUY.

About a week after Mr.. Bryan made
his speech at Madison Square Garden,
New York, he met some friends at his
quarters, when they freely discusseq
the political situation and criticized
comments made by the press upon the
speech, many of which were not very
flattering or encouraging. The whole
party seemed much agitated and re-
NAMED until a late hour, After Mr..
BRYAN had been left alone he paced
the floor to and fro in an agitated
manner, and at intervals would utter
words not very dlstinguishable. AT
last he could be heard to deliver the
following in rather a dramatic style:

DISGUSTING HYPOCRISY.

We heard Republican politician
say a few days since that he was for
free silver, and that the only way to
get free silver was through the Re-
publican party. Yet that politician
is to-day supporting Mckinley, a
John Sherman goldbug, for Presi-
dent. If free silver can be gotten
through the Republican party when
will it bel 1t certainly cannot be
done with Mckinley or any other
goldbug as President. We suppose
that that Republican politician
means that his party may decide to
declare for silver four years from
now, or eight years from now, o,
whenever the goldbugs will give
them their permission. Away with
such hypocrisy !! It would be anus
ing if it were not disgusting. The
people have been trifled with and
robbed long enough. The Peoples
Party comes to the rescue.
