"I Direct."
Dirige is the motto en Maine's great
seal, and by the earnestness and co-operation
of all the elements there in opposi
tion te Republicanism recent campaigns
in that state hare assumed somewhat of
a directing influence en the elections
throughout the country. Many years
age,when Maine "went hell bentforGov bentferGov bentforGev
ernor Kent,' ' it started a blaze of enthusi
asm for the Whig candidates which swept
everything lefere it like the remorse
lass advance of a prairie fire. Since
18-jG the state had, however, ad
hered steadily te the fortunes of
the Republican party. The venality
of its voters has found a masterly erga
nizer iu the energetic and unscrupulous
Maine, who marshalling all the re
sources of his party has kept his state
steadily in line with a majority never
falling below 1.3,000 in presidential con
tests and always invigorating the party
with an immense majority at the Sep
tember elections.
TIie issues upon which the Republi
cans have suffered some reverses in late
years were supposed te be local and they
laughed te scorn the idea that they could
shake their bulwarks of power in a na
tional campaign. Fer months it has
been industriously repeated that the Fu Fu
sienisis were disorganized, and their bend
of union w;is a rope of sand ; that the
Republicans were flushed with money
and in fighting trim ; that the Temper
ance men would stand by the'Rcpublican
ticket, and that the majority would be
anywhere from 8,000 te 15,000. The
Democrats themselves felt quite satisfied
if they could keep the majority down te
0,000 or 7,000 and re-elect one or both of
the present Fusion congressmen. Only
the wildest of them dreamed of electing
a third or of carrying the state for Plais
led. There lias no doubt been money
used en both sides, and all the appliances
resorted te which the easy virtue of the
Maine voter invites ; but where the
great preponderance of these influences
was exerted, and :u te which side had
three-fourths of these advantages, there
can be no manner of doubt. With the
most expert of rascally political mana
gers at their head, and the taxation of
107,000 ofliee-heldcrs te raise a campaign
fund from, the Republicans iiad all the
vantage ground.
The result can be accounted for en no
ether ground than a complete revolution
of popular sentiment, an undercurrent
of which the politicians en either side
could make no sort of calculation, some
thing entirely beyond their control just
such influences as carried this city at the
late municipal election by such an as
tonishing majority for MacGenigle.
The influence of Maine's election is al
most as immeasurable as were the causes
which brought it about. One tiling is
new plain of discernment. The " Demo
cratic melody " evoked by the firsL touch
en" " Maine's thunder harp of pines,"
will " swell into a chorus of victory en
the prairies of Indiana," and the "gales
of November " will loosen every doubt
ful slate from Republican moorings.
Under the influence of Maine, toppling
Indiana en the Democratic side by 10,
000 majority, the Republican majorities
of Ohie, Pennsylvania and Illinois will
go down like a row of bricks when the
first one starts.
Doubtful things are new made sure,
sure things are new uncertain, and a
solid Seuth will greet- an almost solid
North in their welcome of the restora
tion of constitutional government and
honest men inefiicc.

The advices from Maine indicate that
the state has elected General Harris M.
Plaistcd, the Fusion candidate for gov
ernor, by from 1,000 te 1,200, :md that the
Fusieuists have carried three of the live
congressional districts. The Legislature
will undoubtedly be Republican and elect
a Republican United States senator. The
Republicans concede the defeat of their
state ticket and the election of tinee Fu
sion congressmen.
The New Yerk Hcmld says : ' It seems
te be conceded by the Republicans at An
gusta that the Fusionists have carried the l
state, although Senater Blaine thinks
there is a bare possibility that fuller returns
may save the Republican ticket. But tie
candidly acknowledges that even in thai eeeitl
the result of the election keuW he a great tfin tfin
appeintment." " The Republicans have done their ut
most in the canvass. Ne stone has been
left unturned. Senater Blaine has managed
the campaign iu person ; his animating
voice has been heard in every part of the
state. Besides a host of native ora
tors a great array of first rate speaking
talent has been subsidized from ether
states, making the canvass one of the live
liest iu recent years. Maine scuds forth a
large number of sailors, and a :rcat pro
portion" of the Republican sailors were
called home te vote. All of the govern
ment clerks in Washington who are citi
zens of Maine, get leave of absence and
reduced railroad fares te participate in the
election. The arrangements for conveying
aged or infirm voters te the polls were
mere complete than they have ever been
before, and the weather favored their at
tendance. Moreover, Mr. Weaver, tlie
Greenback candidate for the presidency,
was induced te go te Maine and attempt te
divide and demoralize the Fusionists. And
yet, in spite of all these efforts and advan
tages, the Republican have either lest the
state or have come se near losing it as te
make their recent beast ridiculous. They
estimated their majority at net less than
five thousand, and some of the mere san
guine put it as high as ten thousand.

mere freely for election expenses in the
persuasion that the money will net be
wasl ed. The party will cntei tain no doubt
of iis ability te carry Indiana, and may
perhaps prosecute a vigorous campaign in
Ohie. The Republicans would net be
quite free from apprehensions respecting
that .state after losing Maine. The majority
of Hayes in Ohie was less than three
thousand, and the democrats need net give
up the state iu despair after gaining a New
England stale which they did net expect
te carry."
The Philadelphia Times says : " It was
the revolution in Maine iu 1810 that start
ed the Harrison hurricane; it was the
mere that IS, 000 Republican majority of
Maine in September, 1S00, that cast the
doubtful October states of Indiana and
Pennsylvania into the Lincoln scale and
revolutionized the national administra
tion ; it was the mere than 17,000 majori
ty of Maine in September, 1872, that
turned back the Greeley tide and post
poned sectional peace indefinitely ; it was
the mere than 13,000 majority of Maine iu
September, 1870 that saved New
Hamphshirc, Ohie, Wisconsin, Cali
fornia, Oregon and Nevada te Hayes
and made his formally declared election
possible by an electoral commission, after
his defeat by a quarter of a million ma
jority ; and the less of the entire Republi
can majority of Maine, hitherto mere than
ten per cent, of the whole vote polled, will
cast every doubtful state iu the Hancock
coin nin, and make states doubtful which
have been practically conceded te Gar
field. Whether the indicated election of
Planted, Fusionist, shall be maintained
by the complete returns, or whether
Davi.-, Republican, shall be elected by a
nominal majority, is net material in esti
mating the lessen of Maine te these who
arc te give, battle in Ohie, Indiana and
West Virginia in October, and in Con
necticut, New Hampshire, New Yerk, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Wiscon

and the new trembling scales of the politi

Circus Manners.
Messes Editors : Can you imagine any
geed reason why circus attaches and em
ployees are nearly universally impertinent,
ill-mannered and ungentlcmanly ? Docs the
association with the menagerie tend te
make them boorish, or arc thay se much
annoyed by visitors with unnecessary and
annoying questions that they lese their
tempers and therefore their manners ?
I am led te these reflections by two in
cidents coming under my immediate notice
at Cooper & Bailey's circus en Satur
day cveniug.
This company advertise themselves as
the best, largest and finest new traveling ;
they invite the public te visit them, charg
ing therefer a price fixed by themselves,
and arc bound we think te treat visitors
civilly and respectfully.
In making the round of the animal
cages, just as I apimreached the ene con
taining the small hippopotamus, a gcutlc
man in front of me asked the attendant,
"Is this a hippopotamus?" The attendant
auswered, snappishly, "The name is up
there ; can't you read it ?" After looking
intently I discovered a small tin sign
nailed te the back part of the cage, inside,
with "Hippopotamus" thereon in small let
ters. Such signs were net en all the cages,
only a few, and visitors were net likely te
leek for them.
If this attendant could have answered
with a civil Yes, that ene gentleman at
least would have gene away with a much
better opinion of the circus and its mana
gers. But pretty seen it came my turn. I get
te the baby elephant. The mother and
baby were divided from the ethers and
the spectators by a low netting which a
man could readily step ever.
I saw a man inside the netting who was
neatly dressed in citizens clothes and ap
parently a gentleman. He may ha one of
the proprietors for aught I knew, for he
afterwards acted as ring-master all through
the ring performances. I was anxious te
ask some questions about the baby, but
did net feel entirely sure that he was con
nected with the circus; se I addressed
him as respectfully as I could with the re
mark : " De you belong te the circus ?'
And the immediate reply came, " I wouldn't
be here if I didn't." New I don't believe
I leek exactly like a rowdy, and I knew I
asked my question in a respectful manner,
1 and I can see no reason for such an insult
ing answer from ene apparently a gentle
man and evidently high in authority there.
I did uet resent his reply, and will de him
the justice te say that he afterwards talked
te me in a respectful way, though I did
net forget his insulting answer te my first
question.
Cooper & Bailey train their animals
admirably. Couldn't they devote some
time profitably te training their men .' II.

The excitement created by the receipt of
' the news from Maine " in this city was
unprecedented in the history of any simi
lar occasion here. Early in the evening
large crowds began te assemble in and
about the IxTBM.icuxciu: eSliee, at the
Central Democratic headquarters, and the
headquarters of the Yeung Men's llepub
liean club, en East King street, likewise
presented an animated appcaiaucu and
were surrounded by an eager throng of
the faithful. At the latter establishment
arrangements had bcen effected for the
leceipt of news, and a telegraph instru
ment had been placed in the room aud
connected by wire with the main ellice of
the American Union company in Centre
square. A large screen had also been
placed before one of tha windows upon
which it was intended te threw the returns
as received, by means of a sciopticen light
if favorable. As early as seven o'clock
the Examiner had received an estimate of
a probable Republican majeiity of 0,000,
and. this information being communicated
te the Yeung Men's headquarters, while
creating the semblance of enthusiasm
among the truly loyal, brightened up the
Democrats amazingly, showing as it did
such a material less in se reliable a state as
Maine, the home of Blaine, the Plumed
Knight, whose superhuman struggle
for self-preservation for months
past has aroused the admiration
even of his bitterest adversaries. The
first telegraphic advices, though of a very
indefinite character, seemed te indicate
such positive inroads upon the Republican
majority of the last presidential year
that the Democrats took heart, and had
the first huriah when the newscainc along
te the effect that the Unionists had gain
ed -100 in the city of Portland, and this
was followed by another dispatch placing
the probable Republican majority at the
nominal figure of 2,500. This news almost
took everybody's breath away. Deme
crats said it was tee geed te be true, and
Republicans couldn't force themselves te
swallow such a bitter pill. A mighty shout
went up from the crowd around the Tk
TEMdGUKCEK office, which was redoubled
a short time after by the announcement
that such reliable authority as the IJosteu
Herald and Mr. Handy of the Philadelphia
Times said the result was uncertain,
with the probabilities favoring the elec
tion of Plaistcd, the Dcmoeiatic-Unien
candidate for governor, and the election
of three out of the five congressmen, being
a gain of one. The cll'ect was electrical
upon the enthusiastic assemblage congre
gated in the southwest angle of the square,
who started te cheering as though their
lives depended upon the amount of noise
they could make, and the uproar swelled
te a very torrent of wild applause when by
the lurid glare of the bonfire which the
Democrats had lighted could be seeu
the Hag Heating from the stall" en the
Ixt::i,i.ieenci:i: building. At the Exam
iner olfice silence and despondency reigned,
while at the Yeun;j Men's headquarters
where the chap who had charge of the
sciopticen was endeavoring te amuse the
crowd by throwing pictures upon the
sci ecu, in the absence of iroed news the
same ominous stillness prevailed. They
started a bonfire in the northeast angle
of the square te offset the Democrat is
blaze ami help them te retain their crowd
which was rapidly growing dispirited ami
betraying signs of a very severe ca.se of the
blues. Krcitler's drum ceips came march
ing around the Intellieknckk ellice, and
Mr. Stcinnictz from the win. low read a
cheering dispatch from Mr. HcuscI, who
was in Philadelphia, and Mim Mim
mencd all hands te fall into line
and proceed te the Ninth ward headquar
ters, where that club was waiting te come
down town and help celebrate the great
victory that had been wen in Blaine's
home. He was answered with -three
cheers aud a tiger for Hancock, the line
was formed, and te inspiring music march
ed up Netth Queen street te Haas's
saloon, at which point the Ninth waid
club in full uniform took the head of the
column, which promptly wheeled light
about and came marching down the
street amid a perfect whirl of
enthusiasm. Matthew Maik Diggs, the
colored orator, bore aloft the handsome
banner adorned with Hancock's portrait,
and received quite au ovation along the
line. Reaching Centre square the Re
publicans were amazed aud confounded by
this demonstration of their opponents ;
they could net realize the fact they had
been beaten in the home of their clieren
leader, and these actually were Democrats
parading iu honor of victory wen upon the
native heath et their Plumed lviugiit.
In a moment of unaccounta
ble idiocy Nick Geedman, the
major general commanding the Re
publican" forces, rushed aietind te hunt up
a drum corps, and putting him-.elfat the
head of the dejected gang en Eist King
street, who hastily armed themselves with
clubs, sticks and bludgeons, staited en a
walk-around with the illy-cencealed pur
pose of precipitating a row. Several times
their disreputable gan attempted te
break through the Democratic ranks, and
they braudished their clubs in the most
offensive and threatening manner; but the
sturdy young Democrats held their lines
and their tempers like veterans. They wci e
geed-natured in their hour of triumph and
would net be drawn iute a quarrel with
their vanquished enemy. The route of
precession took in the central blocks, and
the enthusiasm was continuously main
tained. By mid-night, although the crowd
had materially diminished, throngs of
partisans still steed around the
streets, the Democrats being largely in
the majority, though early in the evening
the Republicans had the advantage of
numbers, haying gathered in the expecta
tion of a jubilee. .Many amushur incidents
cenld be recorded. On the Xew'Era pave
ment steed perhaps a dozen members of
the Ninth ward club and an almost equal
number of defiant Republicans, and
it was intensely funny te watch these
young fellows stand there and yell
at the top of their voices right
into each ether's faces. "Hurrah for Han
cock," or "Hurrah for Garfield." Al
though all hands were warmed up te a
high pitch by the events of the evening,
there was no quarrelsome disposition
manifested and no attempt te raise a fight.
After the comical performance had con
tinued fur about ten minutes the police,
te prevent "accidents," requested them te
dc:ist, which was complied with, and the
Democrats moved oil" with the shout of
victory. In the " wee sma hours awant
the twal ' the excitement still continued,
and it was far en towards daylight ere the
streets bad resumed their wonted quiet.
Thcre was some lively dialling in the
northeast angle of the square, and several
bets, at even terms, en New Yerk and
Indiana were cuectcd.

Seme inward premptings have induced
our landlord, Mr. Fritz, te erect a tobacco
house en his farm in Salisbury township ;
and he aud Mr. Mat. Ault are in constant
consultation ever the project.
Carpenters are in demand just at pres
ent and arc kept very busy en account of
the tardiness of these who wished te
build, in getting ready for the work. To
bacco houses, half finished, can bj seen in
this neighborhood, with quite a quantity
of tobacco hung inside, and mere te ceme

D. G. Stcacy has ventilated his large
harn from comb te base, aud it new leeks
like some of the buildings iu the Shenan
doah valley looked in 18G-1 after a three
dajs' bombardment. Mr. Stcacy lest con
siderable tobacco last year from want of
proper ventilation, ami he thinks if it
spoils this year it must spoil from some
ether cause.
Among these who have erected extra
buildings for this year's crop of tobacco,
arc Henry Girviu, Jehn Keen, Jcsmj Scott

The hum of Cooper's eider mill can be
heard from early morning until late iu the
night. Wagen after wagon can be seen
passing through our village te and fiwin
thepicss. The crop of apples is an un
usual one, and au auiiMial amount of hard
cider will have te be drunk during the
winter. The generality of our community
will net be in trouble en this account and
none of the cider will be wasted.
The late rains are as welcome te our
community as ice in July. Considerable
inconvenience has been experienced by
mauy families en the account of the fail
ure of wells of water, and some have te
carry all their water from their neighbors
at no small distance. That old saying is
appreciated by many families here : " Ve
never miss the water till the well runs
dry."
Mr. Geerge Starrett, lately a resident of
Sad.ibury township, and formerly and
many years a resident of Bart, died en
Tuesday, September 7, interred in the
tleorgetewn M. E. burying ground en
Sunday, 12th iust. Mr. Starrett was the
father of Mrs. McGibcny, of theMcGibeny
family. During the campaign of 18-11
Mr. Starrett was a Whig. An old justice
of the peace, Caldwell, a strong Demo
crat, burned a barrel of tar in this village
in honor of Polk. Te Mr. Starrett was at
tributed the autheiship of a poem that
went the rounds, commencing :
" Old j;art had a Mpire,
A bachelor was lie ;
Iiu spared no expense tejjctiTp a nprei-.
Five dollar lie kiivu for a barrel of tar
!u Iionnref l'eikand the IeiiuTtxiMlar,f't."
Ill the course of this poem many of the
then prominent men of Bart were made te
appear in name or by occupatiep. " Squire"
has long since ceased te take pait in poli
tics, and Mr. Starrett has followed ; their
political diifercnces arc hushed iu their
grave.
By the last issue of the Examiner it ap
pears that the Republican press have con
cluded that Butler did steal the spoons.
The owners of these spoons have at least
ene consolation iu Butler's reformation.
They may, in case the articles have have
net been pawned te keep up the
Republican organization iu ' Ohie and
Indiana," iret them back again.
As we always were in doubt as te whether
ilutlerdid actually steal the spoons or net,
we will leek clesclj at the Examiner in
future with the hepe that that " fair and
impartial" journal will give te its readers
the evidence that has se suddenly changed
its mind. We have been reading the Ex
aminer for some time, and have come te
the conclusion that its editor has forgot
ten that Hancock wrote a letter le Sher
man, A Hancock aud English meeting and
pole-raising will he held at Londen Greve,
in Paradise township, en Saturday. Sep

Mr. Rice is a one-legged soldier, anil one

Saturday night was fjxed for the big
Republican meeting at Parkcsbtirg. The
night Was all that could be wished as re
gards weather. In company with a friend
we went te see the seven or eight thou
sand Garfield and Arthur men that did
net get there te swell the ranks. However,
there was a geed-sized crowd counting the
women and boys ; but ei course they can't
vote and se they did net count much in
the main. A great many boys were in
the ranks carrying torches, which helped
te make a big show, and we must net for
get te mention our American brothers of
African descent who were largely repre
sented, bearing various kinds of banners,
en some of which read : ' Solid for Gar
field." "Wc arc colored, but true." &c.
The occasion w.is enlivened by two bands
the Coatesville and Parkcsburg bands
which played some very line street music.
After the usual forming into line and
marching around the town we repaired
te the grand stand te hear the eloquence
of the evening. We listened long and at
tentively te catch the eloquence, but miss
ed it, somehow. We heard nothing but a
triadc against the Democratic party. The
same old lingo as te the bankrupted condi
tion of the country when the Republican
party came into power ; hew the Demo
crats brought en the war, caused all the
trouble, and after getting the cenntry into
such a deplorable state, the Republican
party stepped in, did all the fighting and
saved the Union.
What magnanimity te make that asser
tion from every iloer, every platform and
every-dry goods box they have a chance te
talk from ! That the Republican party
saved the Union,and by the very men who
during the war, and up te the present
time, were never south of Masen and
Dixen's line iu their lives, who never gave a

upon them) te help feed and clothe the
