DeWltt Wa lat e Esq., of LaFayette. made a Republican speech recently at Anderson, Ind., in which the principal objection urged against Judge Ward, Democratic candidate for Con grew in the Tippecanoe district, was, that “Judge Ward was poor and occupied rented properly.” Better that than a backet shopper!

Curry laborious.v endeavored to impress his auditors with the idea that the financial crash and troubles of 1857, resulted Trom the tariff. With equal propriety it may be said that the smash of Grant & Ward, Garrison, and other numerous and heavy failures are to be attributed to the existing tariff. Then, let us have a change! Turn the rascals out!

Before the Maine election Senator Fry claimed that the Republicans would carry the State by 30,000, aci that anything less than tuafc majority would indicate defeat in November. Senator Hamlin claimed that they would have it least 25,000The Republican majority cf 15,000 proves than Mr. Ulaino is less popular in 1884 thaQ President Hays was in 1876. The Democrats couceded the State to the Republicans by nst less than 20,000 majority. With the exception of the September election of 1880, Maine brs been carried by the Republicans at every election since 1856. The lowest ma jority their candidate for Governor has ever received in a presidential year was 15,444, in 1876; in 1856 it was 24,540: in iB6O it was 18,091; in 1864 it was 17,216. The average republican majority’ in presidential years during the period from 1850 to 1880 was 18,601. The official returns fiom Maine this year, with only ten small to ivns miss' ing, give the epublicau majority at a trifle below 15,000 The towns to hear from are all Democratic, and will reduce the majority to about 14,. 000. The Republican candidate lor Governor, Kobie, was personally very popular, and expected at least 25,000 majority. The result is regarded as not at all gratifying to Blaine—in fact anti-Blaine.
