WHY Watson Smiles.

Upon the whole, we should say,
after noting the returns from Maine,
that Mr.. Sewall, and not Mr.. Watson,
ought to retire from the position of
running mate to MIR. Bryan.
Not even Watson could have done
worse than Mr., Sewall. He loses his
own town, county, congress district
and State. The issue, too, was clear.
His friends asked for an in dorsement
of the free silver platform as a mat
Ter of compliment to him. Scarcely
voter escaped such an importantly.
And the answer is the greatest Re-
publican majority ever cast in tne

ters are scarcely expected to reach
either Of them on the wing. 1t is
barely possible the gentlemen, who
at first thought 1t unnecessary to
notify Mr.. Bryan formally of the
action of the St. Louis convention,
and feared to embarrass the nominee
have concluded this scheme they
have adopted will enable the Pres
dental candidate to avoid formal
answer and his friends excuse the
silence which is already felt deep
down in the heart of every true
Populist in the land, but we don't
think such monkey business will
work worth a cent. The vaoillation
of tho men appointed to discharge a
duty by the convention has already
tried the patience of the most con-
sentative Popullst, and it willrequire
only a little more of the same sort of
dallying on their part to raise a
storm around their heads, which will
make their ears roar. Peoples

increased his staff up to eighteen.
Governor Atkinson, however Deem
ed this number entirely inadequate
for his purposes, and he forthwith
manufactured thirty-seven lieutenant
colonies at the first turn of the ma
chine.
On reviewing his work he was not
satisfied with the smallness of the
list, and he gave the machine another
turn. This time thirty-two more,
spanking, brand new colonies were
produced. This seemed to have
satisfied the governor for he stopped
right there.
But here comes the significant part
of the performance.
Among the number he appointed

Cause of Opposition.

We are not surprised at the strong
opposition shown by the tsd-pole
and straddle bug plutocrats to Mr..
Bryan. In speech at Lincoln, Ne
braska, he said III referring to this
class:
"They have been calling us dis
turbers of the peace, and they have
called us anarchists, my friends.
These terms simply express the con-
tempt which they have for the great
mass of people OF this country.
These names they call us simply
prove that they are not willing to
trust the destinies OF this republic in
the hands of the people who have
created its wealth in times of peace
and who have fought its battles in
time of war. Show me these people
who now cali us anarchists, and 1
will show you a class of people who,
if we had war, would never go to
the front; but they are the people
who would SANDER those who would
fight the battles to save their own
property" -Indepen dent Banner.

Official returns from the recent cleo,
ton have bean received by the score
tary Of state from all the counties in
the'state except Scott and Logan, and
the majority for Col. Dan. W. Jones
and the remainder of the state ticket
is only 28,O4O. The increase in the
vote for the Republican ticket over
1894 is in the neighborhood of 90
600.
The result is a great dsappoiut-
ment to the Democrats, as it was
confdentially believed that the ticket
won BY at least 10000 majority. The
Gazette of this city, the state organ
of the Democrats, up to Sunday
claimed the state by $4,000.

ated because of this fact. Boasts
were freely made at the Chicago con-
vention and Immediately afterwards
that Maine would be carried for Bry-
an. The candidate himself had
planned stumping tour in that State
on the occasion of his visit to New
York.
The result ia before the country.
II is one Of the most overwhelming
and complete defeats ever inflicted
on any party in any State.
Nor can it be explained away on
the theory that the Democrats did
not try, and that only the expected
has happened. On the very day of
the election, when his words printed
in New York could not affect the
voting, the chairman of the Demo-
cratic State committee boosted that
''the fact will be demonstrated that
the growth of the free silver senti.
ment in Maine during the past three
months has been simply astounding"
He said that no other question had
been discussed. awe had over fifty
speakers on the stump" he said, sand
about six hundred spesohes have been
made for free silver in every section
of the State" He secuted the Re.
publican claim OF 10000 plurality.
and adds: "The conservative men
of that party are making no such as
sertion. They know that the silver
question has aroused more interest
among our people than any political
issue that has come up in recent
years"
The $4,000 plurality shows how
deluded the would-be deluders have
been.
The result proves that the Maine
Democrat is not different from the
average Republican when it comes tc
taking positions on the money CUES
ton and protection. 1t also proves
that Maine hates the South worse to-
day than she did in 1864-and thai
it was an insult to the South to put q
man from SO contracted a State on
the presidential ticket.
1t presents the strongest possible
reason for supplauting SewalI with

The. Revolution in Maine.

The true measure of the Republi-
can plurality in Maine is to be found
only in the September pluralitiea in
former presidential years. These
have been; In 1864, 1913; in 1868,
20,403; in 1872, 1916; in 1876, 49,
444; in 1880, fusion of Democrats and
Greenbackers) 100; in 1884, 1875;
in 1888, 1903; in 1892, 1881.
The plurality this year of about
10000 is therefore nearly four times
that of 1892, Cleveland year, and
more than three times the average
Republican plurality in presidential
campaigns during the last thirty-two
years-14 300.
The landslide in Maine is, thsro-
fore, not only heavier than was tl.a&
in Vermont, but it is much more sig.
nifcant.
NJ sine is the only State in the East
in which the greenback craze ever
gained serious foothold. 1t actually
carried the State in 1880 by fusion
with the Democrats.
The free silver cause is somewhat
sympathetic to that movement. 1t
was believed to have much strength
in Maine. Mr. Sewall was nomn.
