,written expressly for The Herald.)

Fifty years ago today Gen N p Banks
was ordered from Washington to aban-
aon the Rio Grande expedition. on which
ne hao been engaged since October 70,
ana organize another to march upon
iexas by the way of the Red River.
Inc expedition to the Rio Grande had

II had served was political President
Lincoln was anxious to show the flag on
the border, in view of the campaign of
france against the government OF Mex

operations against Texas had not met
with the. approval OF Gen. Grant. who
beheved that If the portion of the Con-
tederaey west of the Mississippi were left
alone, It would die like an amputated
hmb. He considered money spent in
campaigning there was wasted, particu-
'arly under a general of so little military
capacity as Gen. Banks.

West and wondered why they had ever
left them to 60 a-soldiering.
Next day the fort was taken. the gar
rison having departed In the night.
The Federals were still 1lo miles short
of Galveston. with no prospect OF getting
there unless reinforced. They marked
time, therefore. while Gen. Banks sought
reinforcements; and none being forth
coming. eventually embarked on ships
for a return to New Orleans, and a
spring campaign in the moist swamps OF
the Red River.
Gen. Banks, not having conceived the
plan for landing on the coast OF Texas'
was not sanguine OF Its success. he
pleaded hard for a greater force with
which TO attack Galveston. 1t appeared
that his original orders were unknown 70

eral days ago and likewise Of the death
of the two-months-old infant Of Michael
Komick. whose funeral was held there

also insisted that members of organized

certain things and have more to say
about organized labor's achievements.

DEMOCRATS ARE
VIC1ORS IN Maine
Governor Haines Defeated for
Reelection; Congressman All
Renamed.

Portland, MO-, Sept. 15.-The dem
ocratic victory in Maine's state cleo
tion yesterday was measured by the
1887 plurality by which Mayor Oak
ley c. Curtis Of Portland defeated
Governor William T. Haines, repub-
lican, for reelection, according to un-
official returns from all but 81 Of the
521 cities and towns today. All four
congressman, three republicans and
one democrat, were reelected.
In vote heavier than that cast at
the Last presidential election, both
Haines and Curtis ran well ahead Of
the Taft and Wilson figures, while
the progressive vote cast for Hafbert
P. Gardner, the head Of the ticket,
showed a pronounced slump from
that cast for Roosevelt.
The comparative returns available
from 484 cities and towns give.
Haines, Republican, 57,662; Taft.
s26,121.
Curtis, Democrat, 61,249; Wilson,
Democrat, 50,451.
Gardner, Progressive, 17,443;
Roosevelt, Progressive, 47,904.
The total vote at hand, 136,354, ex-
ceeded that from the same places in
1912, by 11,S7S. The republicans
showed an increase of 1854 against
a progressive loss of 3O,461. The
democratic gain was 1898.
