THE MAINE ELECTION.
The result Of the election in Maine q
still doubtful. The best opinion seems to
be that the choice Of Governor will be left
TO the Legislature. In this event Brad
bury. . straight out Democrat and the
lowest in the race is likely to carry of the
prize. There is q clause in the Maine Con-
stitution which requires a majority Of all
the votes cast to elect a Governor. We are
not certain that the same rule does not ap-
ply to other State officers. There were
three parties in the field in the late election
in Maine, viz: Republican, Democratic and
Greenback. At this writing it seems
highly probable that Davis, the Republi-
can candidate, has only a plurality. The
contest going to the Legislature will result
Is above stated. in the election OF a Demo-
cratic Governor. Under the Constitution
Of Maine. the House must select two names
from those before the people and send
them to the Senate for a choice. The Sen
ate being Democratic, by the aid of the
holdovers, will of course. elect the Demo
crat. who in this case happens to be Mr..
Bradbury; the latter gentleman having re-
ceived few scattering votes becomes eligi-
BILE to the position. But all Of this is of no
consequence. To get a man into Office by
this sort Of circumlocution amounts t.
nothing practically. The people at this
time, and At this distance, are not SO much
interested in the personnel Of the State
Government of Maine as in the popular
vote OF that State. The question is, which
party can carry the Pine Tree State for
President in 1880? The Republicans having
failed Of q majority, if they do. would seem
to place Maine in the category Of doubtful
States in the approaching great contest
for the Presidency /; always provided that
the opposition can be united. In this re-
spect Mondays election leaves Maine in
much the same condition as California.
The opposition have shown their ability t.
carry either State by harmonious and
united action. That the discordant ele-
ments can be organized and brought to-
gether on a Common ground is quite an
otaer question, and one in which, we ar
frank enough to confess, we have not the
most implicit confidence. Indeed, if it is
any qualification to the pride Of our Repub-
lican friends, we may go farther and con
cede them both California and Maine in
the Presidential fight next year. New
York, Indiana and a solid South constitute
our chief reliance unless, per chance, Ohio
should wheel into line under the gallani
leadership Of General Ewing.
OHIO and Iowa vote on the 14th Of Octo
Der. Deep interest centers in Ohio through
ont the nation. The result in Iowa is o
foregone conclusion-Republican The
great battle, however, transpires November
4th. On that day New York, Massachu-
sets. Maryland, Minnesota and Wisconsin
hold elections. But Of all these elections
those in New York and Ohio will be watche,
the most. The hopes Of Tilden hang il
the balance in New York. In like manne'
lightning may strike General Ewing if he
carries Ohio. With Ohio very close, boil
parties will trim in their platforms to catcl
the 6reenback sentiment. It is not alto
gether safe yet to predict the line on whicl
next years battle is to be fought. We vii
all know more about it after the fall cleo
tons are over.
