We very much doubt II better speeches
were ever made in Maine campaign
than were made in the recent one-and
by better speeches we mean speeches bet
ter calculated to convince the votsr. The
reason and Judgment of the people
were appealed to as rule
rather than their prejudices and
passions. Even the silver men whose
campaign elsewhere has been based large
~ upon appeals to prejudice INDUCED
in comparatively little OF it in this state,
Vituperatiou was almost entirely absent
from nearly all the speeches that fell
under our observation, There was a
little balderdash .abolt subserviency to
England, and some illumination against
Lombard and Wall street, but for the
most part the orators sought 60 address
to their audiences considerations that
they at least thought had some real foun-
dation.

CURRENT COMMENT.
A PoPULIsT DIAGNOSIS.
(MAins Popu list.)

The election of last Monday has result
ed III the practical humiliation of the
democratic party in this state, and its
effect on the national campaign will be
very far reaching. No thinking man
neeu be IN the least surprised. We have
repeatedly stated that the Republicans
10 this state could never be disturbed as
long as the Democratic party was their
chief Antagonist. This election is only
renewed proof of the fact. They have
played the part,pf the dog in the manger
and will continue to play it as long as
the rank and 10 will submit, 1t mat
tiers but little. however, What they do in
the future as they are about shorn of all
strength to do mischief. This is the
most complete and disastrous defeat In all
their history. 1t is useless to repeat ali
the causes that have lead up to this re-
suit. They are familiar to all of our
readers. The people of Maine have no
respect for the pie counter gang that lead
the Democratic party and will never en-
trust them with power. Then, again.
thr presence of Arthur Sewall on the
national ticket was enough to drag il
down. And right here comes the hi o,t
important result of this election. Sewall
must now come off the ticket There can
no longer be any doubt on that point.
He has dragged the party down to ruin
IN this state and If he is not deposed he
Will surely drag 1t down to ruin in the
whole nation. The persistent and unre-
lenting fight that We have made for Tom
Watson has borne fruit and there is NO
longer any doubt that he will be the sole
running mate of Bryan within week OF
ten days. The ranks will then be closed
up and the great national columns will
march on to victory.

1t is said that Mr.. Sewall can be in.

by Mr.. Bryan himself that his oontinu-
anos on the ticket will injure the 10y
orators chances. The situation is becom-
ing su desperate and the Ahddle-of-t the.
Road Populists are becoming SO demon
strative that it will not be surprising if
such representation is forthcoming at
no very distant day. While it would
not be pleasing to Mr.. Sewall's pride
to be forced off the ticket, he would
undoubtedly lead happier life for the
next six weeks if the Middle-of-th Road
people succeed in having their way.

D The virtual supplanting of Chairman
Jones by Senator German as the virtual
manager of the Democratic campaign
will tend probably to stop some of the
laundering which have characterized
the Democratic campaign. But probably
German is not powerful gh to shut

open the source from which it proceeds
the most disastrous blunders will remain

The low state to which Bryan and
Populism has brought tho Democratic
party of the great state of New York is
cratic party at Buffalo. Hardly single
one of the old time leaders of the party
are present and taking part in the pro-
ceedings. The principal figure in the
show is Grady, of unsavory reputation,
and the dominating influence, indeed
the only influence which amounts to any
thing is that of the discredited Tam
many Hall. That the crowd there as
sembled should unreasonably endorse
the Chicago platform is not strange or
significant.

We Aobserve that Chairman Jones of
the Democratic National Committee is
quite encouraged by the Maine election.
or, rather, that he processes to be. The
same ratio OF Democratic gain would
carry the country for free silver with a
whoop, he says. Perhaps if the Chairman
will look at Republican gain he will lose
his cheerfulness. The Republicans in
creased their vote from $4,000 to SO, 900
while the Democrats increased their vote
from 30 1000 to $4,000. If there is apy
way to figure how and when by this rate
of increases the Democrats will be able
to overtake the Repu blicans in this
state or any other Chairman Jones alone
must have the secret
