The result in the Lincoln and Oxford district
are particularly gratifying. At the moment we
write this, il is rendered nearly certain that Mr..
Morse is elected! The very large gain which
he has made, a good deal exceeding two thou
sand votes, is a fine tribute to his merits, and a
just rebuke by the people themselves upon in
trigues, by which that district was carved into
its monslrous shape. We have taken out the
teeth and the claws Of the Gerrymander, which
was intended to ride rampant over the Wings of
Lincoln county, and we have now hamassed the
monster to our own triumphant car. If the sign
ers of the Bond do not like the way he goes.
they need not blame u.s. So may it always be.
These results mean more than meets the eye,
They show that the spell of Locofocoism in
Maine is broken, and broken, as we believe, for
ever. If all the tyranny of last winters legisla
tion, and all the huckstering of last summers
bargains and jobbing cannot save the strength Of
the party, it is gone never to return.


In the Waldo district, it does not appear that
the Wings came into the field at all. Seeing
that the junto were going to defeat themselves
Now is the time to rally.


In the Eastern district, Mr.. Cary seems likely
to be chosen, and that too by minority Of his
own party. The dissatisfaction with his nomi-
nation is deep and strong among his own asso-
ciates, and his election will not mend the matter
a whit. We much regret that the Wings did
not more efectually avail themselves Of this ex-
celent chance to secure victory The famous
old Hancock and Washington district might have
been carried as gloriously as it was in 1897
However, we have much encouragement even
there. Mr.. Robinson has made large gain,
and stands well commended before the people of
his district and Of the whole State.


These revolutions will not go backwards
