Republican Defeat In Maine--what Dose It Signify?

Tk republicana of Mp.ine snstained n oveTwhelmfng lefr.it on Monday. Tor weeks pr.st their press have boastfully proclaimed that virtory was asiured. and tlie only thing remaíníng ■was what sliall licüio niajority. It has been a sharply-conducted canvasa on both sides. T'nder the personal manBgement of 15'ainp, whose voice has been haard in overy part of the state rallyíng liis bosta by peisuasive appeal, and who is rejfarded as among the best organliersand'stnmpers in the country, leaving no stone untumed to aocomplish a viotory; with a grand array of oratorical talent nativa and foreign to ssist him; with the assistanne of govemment clerks, present in person and ■with money to aid the cause; with "Weaver. greenback candidato tot president, stnmping the state in order to divide and demoralize the fusiönists; vet, in spite of all the advantages on the aide of the republieans,this state which has heretofore given an average llcan rfiajority of 1.5,000, has broken away from its oíd moonngs and can no longer be clnssified am mg tlie republican commonwealtha of the nnion. This defeat demonstratesthe necessit of otliev argument tlian the "bloody shirt" and "solid south" to convince voters of tlie necossity of retaining the repabllean party in power. Those appeais have had their day, beoome stale, and the leaders will nowseethe propriety of raisinp new issues. The policy of hate, of geotionalism and of practical disunion, preaehed by republicana witb sme Riicces since the lato war, must cive wav to Iivinsr issues. The old stock in trade is exhausted as the election in Maine Signifies. Under the inspiringnewsfrom Maine the democracy of the country will be nervert to greater exertion. It will insure to us Indiana beyond doubt, and cause gravo apprehension on the part of republicana In being able to carry Ohio. These conclude the October States. Tta effect on New York the pivotal state will be greatly feit, and if there has been any doubt as to Connecticut and New Jersey, that doubt is now removed. The result in Maine virtuallysignifies the election of Hancock and English. The PtailadelphlaTimea says: "Colonel Mosby writes home from Ilong Kong that he will vote as he shot- against Hancock." Mosby was the meanest kind of disunionist. He was a roving guerrilla - a bushwhacker who paid no attention to the rules'of civilized variare. He delighted to skulk about the country with his men and piek off union soldiers here and there wherever he could find them. He was on the land what a private vessel is on the high seas. He fought under a black flag. But as soon as the war closed this man Mosby became a truculent follower of Grant, and was forthwith admitted to the cminsels of the party- -nay, he was "weleomed as an accession to the republican party, and was rewarded with a fat office. He has received the plaudits of the men who are denouncing Hancock as a disloyal man. It is meet that the, guerrilla Mosby should vote as he shot - against Hancock. Miss TTelen Gladstone, the daughtei of tlie Premier, is oae of the Buccessfu! a&ndidates in this year'a class list of Cambridge Univeraity examinations. - It is rather interesting to reflect that, ivhile the daughter of England's prime minister is admitted to the benefits of one of the greatest and oldest of universities, America, prüüng hereelf, npon her liberality and her social progresa, gives nó such advántages to women. - Harvard, aftêt a fashion,imitates Cambridge, hut offers nothing like the full and generous in3tructioo of the conservativo, English university. Yale and Columbia, apparently, eau not afford to place themselves on i leve) with Cambridge and Oxford.- N. Y. Tribune, Our catemporary appears to be ignorant of the f act that, forten or more years ladies have been admitted to the University in this city, in all its many dtepartments,upon equality with males, and that hundreis of female graduates are engaged in the practice of law and medicine, scattered over the country. There seems to be no reason why Gen. Hancock shall not be elected President by as large a majority as was üov. Tilden four y earsago. There is no reason wby any man who voted t'or Tilden should not vote for Hancock, and there is every ï'eason why he should. And tliere is good canse for thinking that Hancock will poll even a larger vote than Tilden, because of the larger nnmber of republicana who ean not indorse Garfleld and his scaly record, but who will vote fcfr Hancock, agaiust whom no man can truthfully utter a word. The reunión and consolidation of the democratie party in New York city places the republioan preaa inapuzzling posltion. Since the split last fall these organs have been busy patting John Kelly on the back and urging him to keep up hispositionand ref use to harmonizo. Now tliat ïainmany and Irving Halls havo agreed apon terms of union :md harmony the organs feel like kiekïnjf both organizations. Let every man who lias any idea of casting his vote for Garfleld stop a moment and tliink that if the republican candidate had had lus just deserts In 1873 lie wóuld háve been expelled fniiii Congrega and tried for perjury. Democratie reader, when some republican tells you that Garfield is a tarii'f in]) . ni'onii liiiu that Garfleld's utteraftces secured him memberahlp in Richard Cobden's EugliBh Free Trade Club. The sturdy sons of the Pine Tree State have set the seal of thelr condemuation on Credit MobilierGarfield, and the wholecrew of returning board raseals. Let there be do lagging now. On ■witli the column lïoni now uiiül the setting of the sun November 2. Vermont held i State election the other day and went republican, as everybody expected it wonld. Maine luis spoken in thunder tones. Now tol Indiana and Ollio. Probably the Bickest man in Maine to-day is James (;. Iilainc. Oh, have yon heaid llie ncws f rom Maine?
