Sound the loud timbrel DER land and DER sea,
The people have triumphed, the people are free!

On Monday Maine voted for Governor, Con
gressmen, members of the Legislature and county
officers. The returns indicate remarkable ana
unexpected result. General Harris M, Plaisted,
Democrat and Gieenbacker has been elected
Governor over Daniel F. Davis, Republican, (the
present Governor)by q majority Of 1900 The
Democrats have elected to Congress SamuelJ An
derson in the first, George W, Ladd in the fourth
and T. Il. Murch in the fifth districts. They also
claim William Philfrick III the third district, but
this is not settled. The Republicans reeleCt VIM
F. Frye In the third district by 500; he had 5000
majority two years ago. Whether the Legislature
8 Republican or Fusion cannot be determined at
this writing as both sides claim 1t, The result is
especially gratifying to Democrats, and was the
cause Of great rejoicing throughout the country
on Tuesday. 1t is held that it determines the
Presidential fight BY showing the inability OF the
Republicans to rally their strength OF four years
ago for Garfield on sectional Issues The defeat is
correspondingly discourasing to Republicans eV'
erywheTe-and there are suggestions that an al
tempt will be made to take Gartields name of the
Presidential ticket There is hardly doubt but
the Fusion electoral ticket will carry Maine in
November. 1t is also held the result makes Ohio
and Indiana certain Democratic States in October,
and utterly demolishes the sectional idea Of
solid North"

turns from Maine At IL o'clock in the Republi.
can National headquarters those gathered there
generally conceded they had lost the State. The
following dispatch was received from L, Smith,
Secretary of the State Committee Of Maine: "The

is assured unless the country towns do better than
the cities,
THE NEWS IN NEW YORK,
New York, Sept lS-Midpight- t-There 10 great
rejoicing In Democratic circles and committees
over the news from Maine. PlaIsted's majority
will be 1000, and II Is claimed the result breaks
up the Blaine Hamlin dynastic rule In the State
Blaine admits defeat and It is telegraphed here
says the State cannot be carrie d for Garfield In
November. The Democrats elect three Congress
meu, the success Of General Anderson in beating
Reed in the Portland district being particularly
gratifying. Frye is reelected, but with his ma.
jority cut down from 5000 to 1900. The LegiSla.
ture Is not determined as yet and 1t Is possible
the Democrats may have the Senate and the Re-
publicAns the House.
The Republican National Committee expected
a majority Of 10 900, and had prepared for big
celebration. They are in the depths OF despond
ency, and tha stslwarts talk Of boosting both Jew
ell and Garfield.
BLAINE COMPRISES DEFEAT
Philadelphia Sept. 19.- The Times specials
from Maine are from all sources, and indicate the
election Of Gen, Pasted, Fusionist for Governor,
although II is impossible to estimate the probable
majority Only about three hiths Of the State is
heard from and the Fusionists have now mar |
gin Of about 800 to go on. It Is just possible that
the fill returns win give Davis small plurality
but 1t does not look like 1t, and Senator Blaine |
confesses that It Is defeat In any event since |
they were expecting from 5000 to 10000 majority
Some Of the Republicans in Maine say they re.
gard the result as resentlng the defeat Of Blaine
at Chicago and that Garfield "a cold in Maine
and will have no chance in November In that
State
