PORTLAND, Me., Sept. 11.—The people of Maine will. vote on Monday for State and | rounty officers, and for Representatives to Congress. They vote for Presidential Elect- prs in November, -but the active . political work ceases to-night ina final grand: effort’ and demonstration on both sides all over the State. If the election results—as it undoubt- edly will—in a triumphant Republican vic- tory, the campaign machinery ‘will uot be set in motion again this year. ‘The vote on Mon- day will be larger than that in Novem- ber, - but: its division will, show fairly _the position of the people of this State upon’ National issues. Thera are, ‘but two regular tickets now in the field, .set~ ting aside as hardly worthy of calculation the Prohibitory patty, whose candidate will not receive more than 200 or 300 votes. The Greenback and Democratic . parties have united in all their nominations except in.a single county. Last year, voting separately, each for its own Guberbatorial candidate, . , THEY Cast 09,814 VOTES, which, with the addition ‘of 343 scatrering, « made 1,04 more,votes than Mr. Davis, the Bepublican :candidate, received. The Re- publicans started in this campaign, there- fore, with that vote to overcome... They have found their work easier and simpler in fight- ing a united instead of a divided opposition. No fusion of such divided elements as are represented by the Greenbackers and Demo- cratic parties, however complete in its out- ward':--orgnnization,, could unite ail: the members ofeach: in hearty codperation. Técould not be otherwise than that there should have -been much disagreement be- tween the. two factions: The nominations have been very fairly divided, indeed. Per- haps the Greenbackers have had more than their share, but in very many cases the men who have. been selected as candidates have been personally objectionable to one side or the other of the fusing bodies. The result has been a.good deal of internal discord in the opposition, and mutual recriminations and threats which will be carried out at the polls by scratching. . The Fusion leaders have also been unfortunate in their general con- conduct of the campaign. One.of the most disastrous blunders they have made was the importing into the State and placing upon their stump the Southern’ Brigadiers.’ This disgusted many of the rank and file, and raised. a howl] of indignation all over the State. Gen. “Weaver's utterances on the Southern ‘question and the account of his personal experiences’ also aided in bringing back into the Republican ranks many of those who had deserted from them, but who were alarmed for the country. Confronted by the Solid Democratic South the Repub- licans bave made the most of this issue, and tiave presented it with great prominence and. é force. . THE STATE STEAL attempted last winter has furnished the topic upon which the local speakers have principally dwelt, the Republicans de- nouncing it and the Fusionists defending itas according to law and precedent. It is as-. tonishing how soon the popular sentiment upon that matter has become deadened, so that now the people of the State, the very great majority of whom afew months ago were in a white heat of passion at the out- rage upon them, have to be shaken up vigorously before they. will re- member it. Still the Republican cause has been considered strengthened . by the appeal upon this ground, and there are quite a number of Democrats who will vote tthe Fusionists for the action of their representatives in the count-out, : “No campaign has ever been marked by such great skill and astonishing earnestness on the-part of the Republicans, and by such bluster and dogged resistance on the part of the Opposition. The latter have been beaten from ‘the start, and_ have been gradually losing ground.> Three weeks ago there was A STAMPEDE ALL ALONG THE LINE. The National Democratic party gave up the State; and withdrew their speakers. Daring the past ten, days other. counsels prevailed, and in order to save the Fusionists, if pos- sible, from overwhelming defeat, spcakers and money-hive been furnished from abroad. The most conservative of the Republican leaders place Davis’ majority atnot less ihan 5,000. Others'who have had large “opportu- nities for observation, Gen. Kilpatrick for one,. say.. it will be 10,000 or possibly 12,000. A majority of 5,000 would bea gain of 6,000 pver last year in a total vote of about 14,000.. The Republican majority on the Gu- bernatorial. vote for several years preceding the past two has been from 10,000 to 15,000. Jt should be remembered, however, thata ma- jority of only 5,000.in this State is in about e proportion of amajority of 35,000 in the. State of New York. The Republicans area little shaky aboot : .

Speciat Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, Inprawapouis, Ind., Sept. 11.—Gen. Har- rison’s reply to Gov. Hendricks’ attack upon. Gen. Garfield for His connection with ‘the Loutsiana settlement of the Electoral ques- tion, delivered: at the Wigwam last Monday’ evening, will always be remembered as’ one of the most able: and brilliant speeches of* the campaign of 1880. It was. delivered to-night in ‘the Grand Opera-House to an audience of ladies and gentlemen which -packed- every inch of standing-room, and whose enthusiasm seemed to be without limit. . 1 Contrary to his custom on such oc- casions, the |General threw “off all restraint, treating Mr. Hendricks . as one wholly underserving.. consideration. In other words, he proceeded to skin the ex- Governor as no oxe ever before attempted it, and his speech isa « we ees RE! EXHIBITION OF CLOSE BEA- + BONING, =: bitter denunciation, keen satire, and pure wit. His opening sentences were samples of what was to.be expected, throwing his audi- ence into convulsive laughter. * S Y “Without any authority from me,”? he said, “the inference seems to have gone out that I .am here to-night for the purpose of dealing Somewhat severely with a lately promient’ Indiana statesman. [Applause and laughter.]. I-desire to disclaim any such purpose. “Mr. Hendricks has: already been so thoroughly ‘wounded in every respect, to quote a prom- inent Democrat, in the house: of his own friends, that I would® much rather play the part of .the Good ‘Samaritan, if I might, and pour oil and‘ wine, upon. the wounds ‘that he. has received the hands. of his friends.” __[Applduse.] lf a ized as a public scold, and to be trying to see whether he or George W. Julian shall carry off the’palm; In this regard, in his’ speech last Monday -night, he- told his audience that when he took his breakfast: he didn’t at all have itin contemplation to spéak that. night. . This, L think, a superfluous an nouncement, for any one that has read his speech. will see at aglancd that Mr. Hen- .dricks never slept over.it,.or he would not have made ‘it. '-fApplause.] “' ” Be esaid the charges made by. Mr. Hen- dricks . Were, first, improper: and dishon-: orablé conduct in connection with -the. election returns in Louisiana, or in connec-. tion with. the. preparation of the evidence: that was submiitted to “the Election’ Returning Board. - Second, .- dishonorable conduct in going:..upon -the Electoral Commission; that was afterwards organized,‘ with formed opinions upon. the questions upon which he was to pass;.and, third, that * - pANDLED IN in the debate'upon this Electoral bill be had declared that if that bill was passed it would be the duty of the Commission to : _. GO BEHIND Tite RETURNS froni the States, ana look. itito the question of the legality of the elections in the several, States in which there was a contest. “Thése charges Were So scandalous and-untrue, that Mr. Hendricks had found it difficult to tell auite what he did | intend +|,to charge... In.,bis:.Monroe speech he charged Gen. Garfield with -manipulating the returns, while in bis- speech atthe Wig- wam Monday ‘night he charged him with manipulating the evidence, but when the latter’s speech was reduced: to just what he did charge there. was nothing .in it except that Mr. Garfield .. while in, “New. Orleans had occupied an inner room of the. Custom-House. What is the gravamen of this charge, ‘he asks. If I can find it, it is that all this was done in an inner room flaughter], and that is news to us all that this ‘moral philosopher, this sensi-. tive Democratic statesman, has ascertained that there isa moralor immoral quality about an inner room. + |: Ge said that in using the. word manipulat- ing, Mr. Hendricks had used it IN AN ODIOUS SENSE, : when a man is charged with having corrupt- ly perverted, changed, and tampered with tt which has come into his hands, arid he must sustain this use of the word or come ‘under the condemnation of every man who loves an honorable opponent and despises a slanderer,’ ay He said that Mr. Hendricks’ many chan| of this indictment was like the - court should start out with an indictment tor mur- der. It was feared that the “corpus delicti” was working and the man wasalive. Thein- dictment was then changed into one simply for assault with intent to kill, and ‘then, the’ proof of that utterly wanting, it now comes, simply to a charge of assault- and battery. After thus attempting to fix : THE STATUS OF MR. HENDRICK’S CHANGES, he-showed that he had used the same room |. that Gen. Butler occupied while in command of New Orleans during the War, and that he had done nothing more than. other visiting statesmen. Ho .read from ‘Garfield’s testi; mony, explaining’ how he - came," to, with .the witnesses, and that he had suggested a few interrogations for. the Returning Board to put, because, in‘ nis opinion, the aftidavits had not brought out se incis sufliciently. ee sitter hearing. the story of the witness rther testimi fead showing that. gesaadlies THE DEMOCKATS DID EXACILY THE SAME) ‘ - THING ; : that Gen. Palmer wentso'far as to talk to the Board itself about their verdict. Besides exaininiug witnesses and preparing. the call forthe Returning Board, Palmer admitted taking witnesses to his room and ‘talking to them alone,and in his subsequent examination tegrity for: what the latter had done there, and, having turned to this testimony of: Gen. Palmer, he said: “This will show. you % the Chairman of the Democratic State Committee. there was en; in conversing with colored’ prop je, that he, with those associated with ‘im, were also Jooking over the case from the Democratic standpoint, and I challenge any man to make any distinction, upon the testi- mony, between what Gen, Palmer and his as- sociates were doing and what i: a Cee GARFIELD WAS DOING, - ere. There was this difference, and thi only, which seems to Mr. Hendricks to bea: very important one: Gen. Garfield’s room’ was in the Coustom-Honse, and Gen. Palm- er’s in the St. Charles Hotel. So that: it -appears, with -reference to the improper -conduct at. New Orleans, that te Hendricks diminishes the. charge simply to this: -that Gartield talked with witnesses in his own room and suggested an interro; ry or two to-be: propounded to thém by Re- turning Board. - Now,: I undertake’ to say that 2 man-who can 4rraign’.a gentleman disgraced ‘and unk’ tobe Frssident of the SI re “United States is eeident or Oe, NOT CAREFUL OF HIS WORDS or of his: reputation either.” Taking up Garfield’s ‘connection with the -Electo- |' al Commission, the General said Garfield was _ named asa member of that Commission on: Senator - Lamar’s motion, and’ that every Democrat in both House and: Senate voted forhim.

He is not go .inad :at. the ‘Republicans. IHeé is mad at his own friends. ‘Mad that that bond which he ‘took in 1876 for.the Democratic nomination in 1880_ was not recognized at Cincinnati. When he’ presented his- bond there the first thing no- ficed was that it didn’t have any-seal on it, and, upon'a more eritical:examination, it was. found not to be signed at all, and that the‘ Convention contemptuously Tepndiated ‘his claims to the nomination. Mx.

Nor had he ever opposed by word or act any fraud which his party had attempted to perpe- irate. He dwelt upon. the Maine frauds, re- viewed the history of Cronin’s effort to steal an Electoral yote in Oregen, and read some of the cipher dispatches, charging that Mr. Hendricks had never put. himself -any- where upon record in denunciation’ of their open, and confessed. fratids. During all the yous of Mr. Hendricks’ political life he as néver before received such: an arraign- ment: or s0 severe. a- denunciation: Senator Morton paid him his respects in his opening speech in 1876, although it was briefer and less searching...

Ingersoll has been down irl Maine making Republican speeches. On Friday last he addressed an audience of 10,000 people at Lake Maranocook. The Lew- iston Jotirnal, in describing the scene, says: “ The crowd was full of enthusiasm, jolly, and good-natured. There was a great cu- riosity to catch a glimpse of Col. Ingersoll, and’ also of, Uncle Hannibal Hamlin, whose presence there was soon ascertained by the crowd. Senator Hamlin was as lively'as a cricket, and. thoroughly interested in the success of the meeting. He wore’a linen duster ‘that reached to his heéls. His long index -finger was frequently seen directing the arrangements. The venerable Senator was s0 youthful and active in his movements that many who did not’ know him mistook him for Bob Ingersoll. _ thee S “Isthat Senator Hamlin?” asked a little, bent-over old gentleman with twinkling gray eyes : paren ‘ “Yes; that’she.”. : “ What, old Uncle Hannibal ?” “Yes... : fee Bee “ Well, sit, he leftthe Democratic patty the very same year that I did,” said the old gen- tleman, drawing’ himself up, proudly. and Squeezing along-to’.get’a near view of tne Senator. © ine Whee ee ee aan Presently: a portly, jolly-looking,: clean- shaven gentleman, with short gray hair and a nobly-modeled chest: and waist,.dressed in a white.and blue short seersucker duster and vest, light pants, and straw broad-brim,’ edges through the throng. “ There’s Bob!”. “There's Ingersoll!” . 5 “There he is!” were the loud erfes that were raised, and a great roar of applause fol- lowed.
