The Democracy carried Pennsylvania in Oc-
tober after the loss in Maine in 1856, and the
Seymour rebels are endeavoring to draw comfort
from this fact. Let us see. Hamlin (Rep.) was
elected Governor Of Maine in September, 1856,
by 1884 majority. and Scott (Dem.) was
elected Canal Commissioner Of Pennsylvania In
October following by majority of2,776. In
the Maine State election Of 1850, washburne
carried the State by 1925 majority, and PENN
sylvania followed with = majority Of 32,l64 for
Gov. Curtin (Rep.) In 1864, Cony (Rep.)
carried Maine BY 1880 majority, and Penn
sylvanis, instead Of falling into the arms Of the
Rebels. gave Lincoln 2o.075 majority.
