IN 1870 the vote was for John A. Peters, repuolcan
1862 against 1922 for Marcellus Emery. In the
present canvass the fight will probably be between
drawing, having already served three terms in the
House: lie Is supposed to be in training for the
United states Senate when Senator Hamlln's TERM
expires I'm 1901 MI. Emery Is again the demo-
cratic candidate, as well as that OF the liberal re-
puDlicans. He incurred the hostility OF the Union
men curing the war Tor some OutspOken words, and
had his press demolished in consequence. There is
considerable feeling In the district and the demo-
Gratis and liberals are hopeful OF overcoming the
264O majority for Mr. Peters i'm 1870; but the regu-
iar republicans assert that instead OF the majority

the republicans and Theodore A. Pike by the demo-

pubhcans In the State. He was in Congress eight
years and was Chairman of the Committee ON Naval
Af1airs in the last Congress. There is probably
more excitement In this Congressional district than
IN any other In the State, the political lines being

PROGRESS OF THE CAMPAIGN-OuTLOOK.
Political classes are just beginning to chrystallize
themselves In this State. and 1t may require some
days before any one can tell what sort of shape
they may finally assume. But from this splendid
lookout on MegunticOck Mountain your correspond
ent thinks himself justified in predicting three
things, to witt
!. That Kimball. the democratic and liberal can
dldate for Governor, will be elected, IL he can
in the Maine Pr0hibitory law to his advantage. :
2. That the democrats will gain at least one men,
Der OF Congress, probably in the first district.
g. That Grant VIII carry the State by 10000 ma
j0rity In November.
