*ar The great CHAMPION PRICE LIST thrown right in the teeth of the COM-
BINATION, and let those houses who have any pretentiona to a live business, or any
laurels to win, follow in our track. During the next Fourteen Days, every inducement
compatible with a legitimate business will be offered by the CRITERION. It is an old
trick of the Trade to follow a Live House (on paper), in the publishing of their prices,
and it is the easiest thing in the world to write figures and mislead the public. What
we ask of our patrons is to produce OUR PRICE LIST, and the goods advertised shall
be forthcoming ; and be it understood that if any house shall, after the printing of
this document, pledge themselves by advertising to supply the same article, at the
same or lower rate, that the said house or houses shall produce said goods as per adver"
tisement, that judgment m3y be rendered by the public, whom we constitute the only
legitimate arbiters.

The Maine Election.
New Yoi;k, September 17th. — The follow
ing was received this morning at the head
quarters of the National Democratic Com
mittee from Portland : .
Returns from 40i towns givo Plaist«<l 70,019,1)a
--vU 70.693. Republican majority t>79. There are
ES towns and plantations to be heard from yet,
which in IS7J ijave 34-2 majority, and will now give
more than 1,000. The Kupubliuan papers pretend
to claim a majority iiT Davis, and are trying to con
fuse the return* to assist attempted f rau but there
is no doubt of i'laisted's election.
THE "DOCTORLXC" CHABGE.
Chicago, September — The Times
says of Barnum'd &ccu3ation3 that there was
undoubtedly money spent on either side. v As
to the alleged " doctoring " of the returns, the
Timts' correspondent takes no stock ia it.
The country now to be heard from was
heavily Greenback — not Democratic— last
year, and the Republicans have discussed the
financial queotion fully there, and with able
speakers. ' The Greenback vote in a large
number of smaller towns in the more settled
portions of ths State has fallen off consider
ably, and there ia no reaiou why, in the
nature of tl.ing?, the backwoodsmen should
not follow the example set by their most
favored citizens. Certain it is that if
■•di.ctoring" is going on, it will be brought
io light. Had it been arranged thai- this
was to take place, Blaiue and other Repub
lican leaders would not have been so hasty
in giving up the State last Monday or Tues
day.
gobham's opixion.
Chicago, September 17th. — Gorham, of
C difornia, juot , returned from stumping
Mtine, was interviewed yesterday. He be
lieves the result, although Dot equal to what
was expected by the Republican?, would in
spire them to work. He ascribed the Repub
lican defeat to the lavish expenditure of
money by the Democrats, and to the fact that
the latter supported the Greenback nominee
withcut any assurance from him that he was
at all in sympathy with the Democratic
party. Plaisted he described as a Republican,
who had accepted the Greenback nomination
because he felt that he had been slighted in
the distribution of officeß in his own party.
He felt certain that neither Weaver nor
Plaisted would do anything that would be
likely to let the Democrats gain any Elec
toral vote in Maine, as they both are Repub
lican Greenbackers.
GBEETISGS BETWEEN CASSEBLT AND HAM
COCK.
New York, September 17th. — Eugene
Casserly of San Francisco telegraphed to
General Hancock yesterday : "If Maine U
redeemed, a new star in the East shines
brightly ; its name is Hancock. ' ' Bayonets
ere not fit instruments for collecting free
men's votes." Well spoken, high Chief."
Hancock, in return, said : "The result on
the Atlantic front is very encouraging. May
it be equaled at lea^t on the Pacific coast, to
which 1 am identified, by early associations,
and whose interests I understand, and in any
sphere of life would alwaj-? endeavor to pro
mote."
a . DAVIS STILL GAINING.
Portland, September 17th — A dispatch
from Fort Fairfield reports the vote of Per
ham Islands as follows : Davis 50, Plaiated
24. Last year Davis 5, Fusion 31. It is
found in compiling last year's book that 80 of
the frittering of last year was stated, but not
specified. The missing 80 we ruay have in
the present returns. If so, this gain of 20
would overcome the difference between Davis'
plurality and the scattering vote, and give
him a majority of 5 ; but thn is subject to
all errors made in this way of receiving the
returns.
ADDITIONAL YiaURES.
Portland, September 17th.— Four hen.
dred and ninety towns give Davis 73,301,
Plaisted 72,5«.5, scattering 338. Davis' plu
rality, 713. The small towns to be heard
from threw last year Davis 40, Fusion 435,
scattering SO. Total, 555 — Fusion plurality
of 395, which deducted leaves Davis 318 plu
rality.
THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMITTEE HAS A
SPASM.
New York, September 17th.— The Na
tional Democratic Committee has issued the
following statemjat relative to the election
in Maine :
The latest reliable and official returns received
from Maine arc, that 42 towns i;iye PlaUted 70,01!),
Davis 70,698, a Republican majority of 679. In
the same towns in 1878 the opposition vote was
57,499, Republican 72,765, a liepublicaa ma
jority of 15,266. The Republican loss in
1830 from tho corresponding: election in 1876
was 14,587. There are fifty-eight towns and
plantations yet to be heard from. The relative gain
in these towns, as compared with 1576, would give
v?, at ■ a low estimate over 1,000 Democratic ma
jority.' The Republican manipulators in M:iine are
pretending to claim a majority for Davis, and
are trying to doctor the returns to bear
out liis claim. It remains to bo seen
whether they proposo to hegin in Maine to reiniu
gurate the frauds of 1876. For two days Blame and
the Republican leaders conceded Platsted's election,
a3 the Republican party did Tilden's in 1576. The
entire machinery for counting the vote is m the
hands of a Republican Returninsr Board. Usually
in past years it has only required about two
days to ascertain the definite results in
Maine. This ' year all the first returns
showed great Democratic gains,' and it
was only when the ' Republican manipulators have
stopped the returns coming in, and delayed them
until they could be altered, that changes were made
in favor of Davis. The county of Kennebec, which
usually completes its return in one day, was held -
bark until after Thursday, and it is ( peiily asserted
by former Republican leaders that the returns are
held back for manipulation. Two of the five Con-
Ifresstnen— Muich and Ladd— arc conceded. Phil
brick, the Democratic cand^dat in Blame's district,
(the Third), while actually elected, may be counted
out by fraud by a rery small majority (under 100).
In tlin First District, Anderson, the Democratic
candidate, is practicaliy in the samo p-vsitiou, as the
Republicans only claim a majority for Reed of 93,
th'mhowiiijj th»t out of fire CuntrrrsjmeD four were
elected. Tnis is the best criterion by which to
judge the popular sentiment of the State.
Plaistcd is clearly elected, and can only ;be
defeated by a •■: fraudulent count. The only
gains shown by the Republican party, or claimed
by them, are in Democratic counties, inaccessible
by telegraph and away from the lines of railways.
The best evidence of the fnud proposed to be per
petrated is the fact that while the Fu«ion ticket
sbows large gains all over the State in Republican
cities and counties, the Republican gain is claimed
in Democratic counties. ,:

Apocsta, September 17th. — Senator Blame
scut the following telegram to day :
' Acocsta, September 17th.
Hon. Marshall Jewell, Chairman of the Republi
can National Committee, New York : We have com
plete returns, with the exception of a few distant
plantations, and I give you a summary of the re
sult. In the election of 1579 the Republicans lacked
1,045 votes of a majority. This year we have made
trains in twelve counties, held our own ia two oun
ties, and in two other counties we have made slight
losses. Our net gain in the whole sixteen counties
is reckoned at 1.300 as a minimum, with a possible
nminmui of 1,600, making Governor Davi.'
reelection a certainty no longer ■- denied >by
his ■ opponent*. Hij . majority ■; over Plaisted
will probably not vary much from 400. - We have
chosen three fourths of the »nnty officers, more
than two thirds of . the State Senate, and a large
majority of the House of Representatives— yivintf
us complete control of the State G>»ernment in all
iv branches. Our only rejrret is our failure to rcjnin
the Fourth an 1 Fifth C oiigressinnil Districts. We
succeeded in reducing' the majority in each to about
one-third of the Fusion majority of two years a^o,
but the Democratic alarm over the result in Ver
mont caused the applicition of arguments in both
districts during last week which we cooM not meet.

[Note.— This letter has been published be
fore.]
Hon. Hamilton Fish was elected Chair
mac, and in a brief , speech introduced
Senator Conkling, who^ was greeted with
cheer upon cheer as he came forward.
NswYokk, September 17th. — In Senator
Conkling's speech to-night, after an eloquent
allution to the grandeur and blessings of the
Republic, he said : Tho general isfue con
fronting us is in itself, and in its bearing?,
sectional. Would that it were not so, but it
ia so. In twelve : States of the Union the
approaching election is to be no more than a
farce, unles*, as his sometimes happened, it
be turned into a tragedy. In several South
ern States there is a Republican majority,
but all the Southern States alike, without
exception or without doubt, are • relied
on to count up on the Democratic
side and ecore 13S electoral votes. There
ia to .be- no free debate, no equal
riahte, no trU9 expression, ami yet he who
discusses these question* must be told in the
coarse parlance of to-day that he "waves the
b'.o.xly shirt." The Senator denounced the
proposed cjunt in sotnn Southern States
founded on the . last census, and than r-aJ
General Grant's recent letter, in which ho
says: "The Democratic party as now con
stituted and' controlled is not a fit party to
trust with tha control of the General Gov
ernment." The South controls the Derm
cratic party, and in Congress the Southern
members hold absolute sway. Should a con
troversy trise regarding the Presidential
election, and the election be thrown into the
Hou3e, : and a vote being taken by States,
the South would . cast nearly all the
Democratic vote, and in the Senate the
vote for President would | come from the
samesource. In every event of Democratic
success, the Southern ci.'l of the Democratic
party must be to tb I Northern end as the
locomotive i* to the tender. The South has
control of all the working committees of the
Senate. On every committee there is a ma
jority of Democrat', and of these the major
ity ia all cases consists of Southern Senatois.
The tame conditions prevail in tha Houte.
There are forty-two committees. The chair
men of twenty-two are from the South. All
the committees are so constituted that the
majority is Democratic, and of the majority
more . than half ; is Southern. During the
two years while this absolute power in both
houses has been so lodged, the existence of
the veto power and the approach of the
Presidential canvass have suggested urgent
reasons for " going slow." Many expected
bills have not ■ been introduced ; many that
have been introduced have not been pressed ;
some that have been pressed have run against
such obstinate opposition as to secure their
present postponement or some modification.
But whenever the hour strikes that the veto
power is in Democratic hands, put there by
the Southern vote, whate/er solid caucus de
crees will be written that caucus will be
controlled by those who represent by less
than one-seventh of the people of the Union,
and more than one-fourteenth of the produc
ing, commercial, industrial, tax-paying and
property interests of the country.
The Senator read the official figures of the
Bureau of Statistics to prove this assertion,
and said these facts are not recited with
pleasure, but with deep regret. The broad
issue at this election is whether our colossal
fabric, commercial, industrial and financial
interests, shall be under the management and
protection of those of Democratic ascend
ency in nil branches of the Government.
This is deeper-rooted than any meas
ure within the scope of existing pub
lic questions. Statesmen abroad talk of
the balance of power and of changing the
map of Kuropa. These sayings mean not
much more than might easily occur here,
without violating the Constitution or tran-
Bcending the usages of the Republic. At
least seven new States could be brought in,
and in the ease of some of them a very plausi
ble case could be made. The project would
become a high party measure. Ita success
would assure a complete Democratic ascend
ency in the nation for a generation. At
least it would put the Government not mere
ly in the hands of the Democratic party, but
of the Southern Democratic party, with
Courts revolutionized to conform to iv
reactionary notions and dogmas, pre
judices and interests. What may, be the
fate of the questions affecting commerce
among the several States, the revenue, bank
and legal tender currency, taxation of Gov
ernment currency, in which these bonds are
payable, civil rights act?, claims growing out
of the war, claims for refunding the war tax
on cotton, the late amendments, and many
other grave matters, no man can : predict.
Meanwhile the army has been reduced to a
skeleton, and whenever a tcare, pretense or
shriek of war on Mexicj's border or elsewhere
can be discovered or invented, the army ivust
be increased and filled up. By whom ? That
depends on the approaching election. If
Garfield and Arthur are chosen, by Union
men — men always for the Union to the core.
If Hancock and English, and the Democratic
party get in, by the men = " who went with
their States." The present tariff and revenue
laws are deemed very bad by the dominant
element of the Democracy. They want to
change them. They will change them
readily whenever the way is clear.
There is a whisky rebellion now in
seveial States, . and the officers of
law are powerless to suppress it. Recently
a warrant was issued for the arrest of one
Peuton. A Deputy Marshal went with a
posse to execute the warrant. In his report
to the Marshal he says that Peuton assem
bled from 25 to 50 armed men, and set him
and the law at defiance. When cautioned to
desist, • Penton replied, "When Hancock
is elected this damn foolishness will stop."
The amendments to the Constitution were
constantly and flagrantly defied in more than
half the Democratic States, and should these
laws be swept away and the spirit which
assails them in the South, and which called
them into beiag,contiuue to rage, mildew will
follow in the wake. The national banking
system has been stiuck wherever a blow
could be put in. ■_/■'
In regard to the assertion that the Southern
war claims are barred by the Fourteenth
Amendment to the Constitution, Conkling
said: "There can be no doubt the way is
wide open to all Southern claims which a ma
jority can be found to vote for and a Presi
dent to sign.''
Bitter Factional Flgbt Between <.<or..ia
- Democrats.
Washington, '■ September 17th. — .ludge
Lochrane, of Georgia, " has just returned
from that State, and represents the pending
contest , between the Colquitt and Norwood
factions as the most bitter that has ever been
known in Georgia.* He »ay 3 there can be no
reconciliation between the t« o factions. At
recent meetings at Macon, at which Colquitt
and Norwood were announced for a joint dis
cussion, the crowd hooted and yglled at the
Governor, preventing him '<; from speaking
more than fifteen minutes of the two hours
allotted to him. Norwood was listened to
with but very little interruption at the pub
lic meeting recently held at Columbus. ' . Ex-
Senator Gordon was also howled down by the
crowd. Lochrane further says that the scan
dals of Colquitt's admistration, and his ap
pointment of Brown to the United States
Senate to succeed Gordon, form the issue in
the campaign.' '■ He , believes that the con
test between the Democratic factions will be
continued after the pending election, and
they will never again act in harmony. Loch
rane thinks Colquitt will be re-elected by a
■mall majority, as he will get the larger pro
portion of the Republican vote.
The Trotting of Mnnd 8. Compared with

Chicago, September 17th.— The Times
gays of Maud S.s trot j yesterday : r Aside
from the comparative excellence, there are
several reasons why it was positively the best

Baring in Chicago.
Chicago, September 17th. — the Jockey
Club Park the pacing race was the most in
teresting event of the day, ; the famous
" pacing qnartete" appearing in a race for a
purse of $10,000. Some very fast quarters
were made, Mattie Hunter and Lucy making
the third quarter of the first heat in 32 »c
--onds — a 2:OS gait. The race was driven for
all there was in the horses, and was thoroueh
ly enjoyable. Time, 2:15J— 2:18— 2:10—
George Sprague, a five-year-old, weighing
nearly 1,300 pound*, was «ent a full mile for
the first time in 2:23.
The Association have offered a 81,000 purse
as a special inducement for Maud S. to lower

Boston, September — The weather in
beautiful, and the streets through which the
procession is to pass and the adjacent
thoroughfares are so crowded that it is diffi
cult to move on them. Business is entirely
suspended, and there is every indication that

years ago will be , dwarfed when compared
with to-day's event. The literary portion of
the celebration was held in the Old South
Church at 9 o'clock. The Governors of
States and Mayors of citic, invited guesta
of the city, occupied a platform extending the
entire length of the church. ' Mayor Pricce
delivered the oratinn. The delivery i<;cnpied
two hours, and at the conclusion the Mayor
and guests were taken in carriages and es
corted ii.tu the line of pr ic.-ssion. The city
is very gaily and lavishly decorated. The
grand procession r.-.ovsd at noop.
The proeeadoa was three hour* and thirteen
minutes long, aud was heartily enjoyed.
