All bands were busily At work at an early hour. It was rather cool to-day, and the front door leading to head. quarters was kept closed, to prevent the wind from rioting among the documents. The win- dows were also closed and the biinds on the second-floor pulled down to keep out the glare cf the sun. These circumstances, after the news from Maine, gave the idea that perhaps headquarters were shut us. But {t was not s9. The large force of employé3 was a3,busy as ever In folding, packaging and directing documents. The superintendent of the document roon merely paused in his work to ask the reporter to pinch him; he didn’t know for a certainty that he was awake. re, Stairs Secretary M Pacerson was busy with his moraing’s mul. N: he hed no dispatches from Maine this morning. Only knew what he saw im the papers. Tas STAR asked if 1t wasn't something of a surprisi “No, it was no surprise to me.” was the rep! “ What effect will Maine have on Indlaaa?” asked the reporter. “It will stir our side up and give us greater again strength in In- diana and elsewhere. I do not look upon the apparent fusion victory in Maine as jeopardizing the success of the republican party. Weare going t) win.” Mr. McPaerson seemed to have expressed the republican reeling jetty thoroughty. “All approacaed looked upo1 the result in Maine as calculated to spur thelr porty up to renewed vigor, and as furnishing an oe to further aggressive Work at all points. Democratic headquarters looked a3 if its party had been whipped compietely oat of tlme.

No di patches had been received, and neither of the cierks knew whether any were expected or not. ‘fe Sran reporter staid around for fifteen or twenty minutes, but the only person that dropped in was an elderly gen- tleman, who wanted to get.a job folding decu- ments for “‘an estimable and industrious young man.” One would have thought that the boucm hed falien out of the entire democratic should receive in conversion 6 per cent Interest from the date of the certificate to the date when converted. Treasurer Gilililan, cormmis- sioner of the District sinking tnd, decided that he could In making the conversion only allow 365 per cent interest on the ceruificates be- tween the dates mentioned. The question was appealed and sent to Judge Lawrence, ist comp- trolier of the Treasury.

FILLING UP THE BaRReLS.—Among the polit!” cal talk in Washington to-day was a report that the republicans meant now to put one million dollars into Indiana, and carry the state re- gardless of cost. To this a democrat connected with the Congressional campaign sald: “Then our party must puta militon dol- Jars in Indiana too. We can get it easy enough. ‘The national committee have been notitled by pony and wealthy democrats to call upon em if money is needed. One prominent dem- - be pesced intel to ralse $75,000 tn the city where be les, 1f necessary.” A resident of Washington, hearing the report mentioned above, left'a draft for $100 at democratic head- quarters to be sent to Indiana.

Apvvr It.—In the dif- ferent departments to-day there was dissatts- faction among the clerks about what Matne did yesterday. They iooked blue, and satd they felt blue. Nearly all, however, held out for the full returns. They did not believe that the state of Maine had goue against the republican arty, and asserted loudly that they would not until the oficial figures were before thelr eyes. Notwithstanding this statement on their part, it was evident that they were hoping agatnst hope. A rumor got abroad in the Treasury this atternoon that a dispatch had besn received at. republican headquarters or by Secretary Sher- Man stating positively that Davis, rep. hi been elected governor by 1,200 majority. pen hold of this report and belleved It, and refused to be told anything else. Inquiry at republican headquarters and with the Sec- retary himself brought out the fact that no such dispatch had been received. But the cierks won't believe it. ‘ PERsonaL.—Gen. Halbert E.

The speaker advenced bis well known arguments relative to the currency and labor; said his party wanted sectional differences adjusted and suffrage pro- tected, and declared that they would poll one and a half million votes this fal. ‘The republican congressional committee has just issved a circular, giving @ list of the docu- Ments they tssue that are frankable and those not frankable. The first-class are made up of speeches made on the floor of the House. Judge Shellabarger was in at republican party by the looks of its headquarters here to- ay. But it Is probable that the demoerats were up rather late last night celebrating thelr Maine victory, and hadn't got around w head- quagters this morning. The Maine Surprise. SWREPING VICTORY MED BY THE NAT:ONAL DEMOCRATIC COMMITTER, Secretary Prince, of the national democratic committee, telegraphed the democratic cou- gressiopal committee here at 10 o'clock this morning that Plaisted, for governor, had from 3,000 to 2,500 plurality; that the fustonists elect- ed four Congressmen—Anderson, Philbrick, Ladd ana Murch—and had fourteen majority on Jeint ballot in the legislature. A BOSTON EDITOR'S DISPATCH. Mr. B. P. Palmer, editor of the Boston G'obe, at In. telegraphed as follews to a trlen in this city: * Boston, Sept. 14.—Blaine’s bar’l wrong end up. Wicked democrats carry Maine by two thousand. Ladd comes hack by two thousand; Murch returned handsomely, and perhaps tivo mcre fustonists. Corporal Davis agaia joins the noble army of home guard patriots. Here- after you will look in vain for your friend Ham- iin in Senate.” FUSIONISTS CLAIM "HE LEGISLATURE, A private dispatch fromm Portland this after noon says:—‘The fusionists have a majority of fourteen on joint ballot, and Hamlin will pawn his clawhammer coat.” The Papers on the Maine Election. The New Ycrk Herald to-day says: “The re- turns from Maine will infuse life and hope int> the democratic canvass, which has heretofore been heavy and siuggish. Rich democrats will Low contribute more freely for election ex- penses in the persuasion that the money will not be wasted. The party will entertain no doubt of its ability to carry Indiana, and may rhaps prosecute a vigorous campatga in io. The republicans would not be quite free from apprehensions respecting that state after losing or nearly lesing Maine. The majority of Hayes in Ohio was less than 3,000, and the demo- crats need not give up the state in despair ait'r gaining a New England state which they did not expect to carry. At any rate enough can be done in Ohio to prevent a full concentration of republican efforts on Indiana ard thereby facilitate a democratic victory in this Important state. With Indiana secured and Obfo rendered doubtful the supporters o: Hancock may reasonably expect to carry New York, New Jersey and Connecticut and to have more electoral votes than they need. The re- sult in Maine puts a new face on the situation. By imparting confidence to the democrats and alarming the republicans it will inflame the zealand spur the activity of both. The cous- try will now enter on a contest more strenuous and heated than has been witnessed 1a our poll- Uics in a long period.” The Herald also says that the result tllus- trates the fallacy of political predictions, as the republicans were confident, and the democratic leaders were also bind to what was coming, for at the last moment they were devising pretexts for expiaining away a republican victory. The New York Times (rep.) says: “So fat a3 the intluence of this result on the popular feel- Ing is concerned. it is plain that 1t would have been much less had not the republican man- agers In the state sent. out such confident pre- Gictions of a decided victory. Whether the can- vars on which these were based was defective, or whether niuch democratic money has been us, asclsimed, or whether our friends allow d themselves to think that such predictions, ir gallantly stuck to, would tend to produce their Own realization, we cannot say. Whatever tac cause, the predictions have generally misled the Tepubiican press, and whaf must be conceded to be a substantial failure in Maine will be more depressing because it is unexpected.” ‘The Tribune (rep.) says: *Itis not yet clear which side has won the fight. In etiher case the majority will be so small that it must be called a drawn battle. But in November the issue is different. The greenback candidate for President has declared his determination not to rmit the 1usion electoral ticket to be voted for yy hts party, if h~ cin help it, and others of tue leaders of the party have been demanding the nomination at the approaching state conven- tion of a straight electoral ticket. Should that be done, an easy republican victory will follow in Ncvember. If it should not be done, the bat- tle would be jotned again more fiercely than be- fore, with at least an even chance for the re- pubiicans,” ‘The Sun says:—“Should the complete returns recéeem the promise of those now ut hand, the democracy and their allies have wona remarka- ble victory, and have cut down the 15,000 repub- Mean majority of four years ago to the near heightorbood of the vavishing potot. it they have not wiped it out altogether. In this event itis a serious reverse for une republicans, and a sobering 01 e, Espei ity so as the Canvass WS organized and conducted on the republican side by James G. Blaine,” The World (dem.) says: “As the republican organs have all to treat the result in Maine as decisive of the hopes of their party in the presidential campaign, the work done yes- terday by the democrats of that state assum2s an importance which no democrat would other- wise have been inclined to attribute tolt. Re- turns from considerably more than half the constituencies of Maine ‘suffice to show a vote largely increased over the phenomenal vote of 1879, “It will probably reach 145,000.

REWARD FOR VICTORIA’S ScaLp.—Scouts have ered Victoria's main camp in Corrald ae The Philadelphia Times, (tnd. d2m.,) says: “Since the Harrison whirlwind of 1340 startled the country by the election of a whig governor in Maine, at the September election, there has been no such sudden political whirlwind in a presidential year as that which yesterday swept the stalwart republican Pine Tree state from her politicai moorlags. 1 {3 not a repulse or a defeat; it is the utter overthrow of a party that has ruled Maine for a full quarter ot a century, with the exception of a sin<le year of what was deemed the accidental triumph of faction in an ublmportant struggle.” ‘The Philadelpita Press _(rep.,) AG Guo ow near Owent Acree was shot the head and killed, Hammond were fatally injured. “We Says Do- longed to respectable ee, The New York state fair ‘at Albany, N. ¥,, yesterday, With very large exiibitg, ” ry Yast Sat- ee, Devaar’ bening Star, TWO CENTS. The Talk About the Maine Election THE WHY AND WHEREFORE OF IT, The result of the election In Maine is a disap- pointment all round. A disappointment to the republicans because they had expected a v.c- tory, end an agreeable disappoiotment to the democrats because they had conceded defeat. I: goes to show that the judgment of the wisest political leaders ts not always tfallaple, be- ¢s03e the calculations of the Shrewdest man- rane have been blown to the four winds. The interest which centered in the result had the effect last night of drawing large crowds to the rooms of the Republican Congressional com- mittee on F street, Major Buffun. the facto- tum of the committee, was early in the seat he had oftentimes cecupied, to heraid republicaa victories. The result of the political fray was sent in meager fragments, not enough to give ccnfidence, but il enough to inspire hope. Up to 10 o'clock not a single cheer was heard, and when at mianight a dispatch was received that the result was in grave doubt. the faithful who watted for the latest returns silently stole away like Arabs, but not to’plea-ant dreams, At the democratic congressional committee rooms, the few who gathered there up to 10 O'clock did not absolutely know of the good news which awalted them.

This is probably bosh. The local democrats this afternoon are mak- ing arrangements, under the auspices of the Central Democratic committee, to have a jubliate te-night. At four o'clock this after- noon 100 guns in honor of the victory will be fired at the armory square.

The republicans nuree thelr sorrow with a deal of courage. They say that it will tnspire the lead- ers torenewed effort, and that the campaign {n Indiana and Ohio will from henceforwara be carried on in a way that will surprise the now exultant democracy. One very clever theory of the defeat is that It will wake Senator Conkling up. He has long had a personal grudge against Senator Blaine, and now that the latter has lost his own state, Conkling will be especialiy solicitous to carry New York for the republicans, this to serve no- tice on the Maine eenator that after all the presigency can be carried without the Pia» state. At the Interlor and Post Office de- partments there is considerable gloom. 1 ttle public business is being transacted, most ofthe clerks being engaged in discussing the political ‘situation apd the prospects of the ture. One strange feature of the situation 13 that reither democrats nor republicans can make any satisfactory explanation as to what contributed to such an unexpected result.
