Comments Of the New York Press on the
Maine Election.
The Times heads its accounts from Maine
Victory scored by the Fusionists." "Their
unexpected gain in cities and large towns"
"Plaisted apparently elected Governor "a
Fusion claim of three out of five Congress-
men,"
The Times editorially says: "The coalition
between the Democrats and Greenbackers in
Maine has achieved degree of success which
surprises even its friends in other States The
Democrats will. however, naturally claim that
the advantage is substantially theirs, and will
make the most of it in reviving the Hancock
boom. The result is disgraceful to the people
of Maine"
The Herald speaks of the Maine election as
a surprising result and probable victory for the
Fusionists. The result in, Maine puts new
face on the situation. By ifnparting confidence
to the Democrats and alarming the Republic
ceus, it will inflame the zeal and spur the &C
on contest more strenuous and heated than
has been witnessed in our politics in a long
time.
The Tribune says: "The result in Maine
will somewhat disappoint the Republicans.
Where they had hoped for small majority,
the vote is SO close as to leave the State in
doubt 1t is not too early to draw an excellent
moral. The Republican party has been grow
ing too confident of late, and has been enjoy
ing its victories in advance; work and not con-
fidence wins elections. If this disappointment
should excite the party to greater exertions, it
will be piece of good fortune.
The World says: GAS the Republican organs
have all agreed to treat the result in Maine as
decisive of the hope of their party in the Pres
idential campaign, the work done yesterday
by the Democrats of that State assumes an i'm
portance which no Democrat would otherwise
have been inclined to attribute TO it,
The Sun says: eff the complete returns
from Maine redeem the promise of those now
ct hand, the Democracy and their allies have
won remark able victory. In this event it is
serious reverse for the Republicans, and a
SOLDERING one."

Senate and House Largely
Republican,
ENSURING A REPUBLICAN
UNITED STATES SENATOR.

The vote of large number Of additional
towns was received yesterday, and they show
such Republican gains as to make it almost
certain that there is no choice of Governor by
the people, and that the election will be
thrown into the Legislature, where Davis will
be chosen. Reed Lindsey and Frye are elect
ed. Both branches of the Legislature are
largely Republican, thus securing Republi-
can successor to Senator Hamlin. Mr. Stephen
Berry, the agent of the Associated Press, whose
estimates have always heretofore proved re-
markably accurate, thus summarizes the re-
suit:

Davis majority 2O37 against 1716 last year
A Republican gain of 321. Towns to hear from
gave Davis 902S, Smith and Garcelon 11,699,
scattering SO, which would leave the Republi-
cans 723 short of majority; or Fusionists a
majority of 81.
Midnight.-There are still $50 towns to hear
from, mostly small and remote places. OF
these there are in Aroostook 40, Franklin IL,
Hancock IL, Kennebec 10, Knox 4, Oxford s,
Penobscot 50, Piscataquis l, Somerset Is, Waldo
3 and Washington %. Many of these are
plantytions, thriving but few votes. The ag-
gregate vote last year was 1920. This has
increased little over five per cent. so far as
received, and if the remaining towns increase
in same ratio the aggregate will reach LAG, 300,
of which the Republicans should have about
$4,000, Fusionsts about $780, scattering about
800. The remoter Fusion districts have to-
night brought in Republican gains.
The Fusionists will probably have trifing
plurality, which will elect Plaisted if the
amendments are adopted. But there is no re-
turn from them, and the popular vote is so
close that it is impossible to guess from that,
If not adopted, or if found unconstitutional on
account of being retroactive, which question
has been suggested, the election will go into
the Legislature, which stands at last reports,
Senate, 10 Republican to IL Fusion; House, So
Republican to Is Fusion, and the Republicans
will elect The United States Senator will of
course be Republican.
The figures are now SO close that only an
official count can decide it unless decided gains
are made one side or the other in the remain
ing towns owing to errors which must occur in
returns received in this way. Even the differ
ence between the tabulation of State officials
and that of the Legislative committee may
change the result, so that we can only report
the result uncertain.

Familiar Love

Perhaps there is no period SO pleas
ant among all pleasant periods of love
making as that 10 which the intimacy
between the lovers is so assured, and
the coming event so near, as to produce
and to endure conversation about the
ordinary little matters of life /: what
can be done with the limited means at
their disposal how that life shall be
begun which they are to lead together;
what idea each has of the others du ties;
what each can do for the other: what
each will renounce for the other.
There was true sense of the delight
of Intimacy in the girl who declared
that she had never loved her lover so
we'll as when she told him how many
pairs OF stockings she had got. 1t is
very sweet to gaze at the stars together;
and 1t is very sweet to sit ont among
the haycock The reading of poetry
together out of the same book, with
brows all close, and arms all mingled,
is very sweet The pouring out of the
whole heart in written words, which
the writer knows would be ridiculous
by any eyes, and any ears, and any
sense, but the eyes and ears, and sense
of the dear one to whom they are sent,
is very sweet; but FOR the girl who has
made a shirt for the man whom she
loves, there has come a moment In the
last stitch of it. sweeter than any stars,
haycocks. poetry, or suoerlative epithets
have produced.-.fnfhony TroliOP
