The fullv vote of vssdkolt and Mime has ut
been out since ls6s.1t is probable that there Sil
be very large vote in both States in the coming
September elections. and therefore comparisons
should b made with the vote Of 1868 to ASCERTAIN
Whist has been gained og lost by the Radicals. 1t
is obviously unfair to make this years full vote
compare with last years light vote, when 24,OOO
people did not go to the polls in Maine. and IL.
900 stayed away in Vermont. The vote for Gov.
ernor in Maine in September, 1868. as follows:
Republican. 1854; Democratic, 56,4Sl; Repuh-
csn majority, 20403 The Vermont vote the same
mouth was: Republican, 426l6: Democratic, 49,
2S9; Republican majority. 1896. Therefore. any
falling of Of 10000 Radical majority in Maine and
1900 Radical majority in Vermont this yenr
must be considered 80 much Liberal gain.
The election in Maine takes place on the 5th of
September.

DEAR MEAT IN ENGLAND.-The Manchester
butchers have held meeting to see what they
could do to lower the price of meat One butche,
moved to shut up shop for fortnight; another to
close three days in the week. but both resolutions
were feebly supported One Of the speakers said
It would be impGssible to cloae all the shops in the
town. At Huddersfield. although the cnief por-
ton Of the butchers had agreed to close for pc
riod. AMI enforce fines if the resolution vere not
stuck 10, the movement had been falue. because
some of the butchers out of the hunded were un-
sound. He reminded the public that It was not
tho butchers they must curse. but a government
that had stood for five or six years between them
and their supplies. Finally u resolution was voted,
urging her Majestys government, as far a. 10 com
mtible with safety to open the ports to all healthy
foreign stocks and hA>ten the cultivation Of those
large and increasing tracts Of country now exclu-
slvely gwen to breeding and feeding Of game.
