and looks higher for tomorrow.
Shipments of corn limited only by the ca

Tho Battle IN Maine.
Philadelphia Times. Aug. 49,

Philadelphia Times, Aug. %.
I Vermont will elect governor and other
State officers two weeks from to morrow;
but it is only question whether the ma
jority will be 10000 or $4,000, and it will
not specially inspire the Democrats if 1t is
the former, nor will it specially inspire the
Republicans If it is the latter. Maine will
elect governor, State officers and Congress-
men on the 18th OF September, three weeks
from to-day, and it Is vital contest to both
individual and party interests. II is strug-
gle for political prestige by Senator Blaine;
It is battle for seat In the Senate by Sem
ator Hamlin, and it may be fatal finger
board for either party. If Blaine loses his
State, Blaine Is lost as future Presidential
candidate, and it would leave the measure of
Hancock's majority as the only practical
question for Garfield and his friends to con-
slider. The Democrats can afford to lose the
State; the Republicans must carry it, and If
they shall be able to win it by strong ma
jority it will give fresh impetus to the Re
publican cause. while nominal majority for
the party in the once Republican stronghold
Of Maine would be no more than drawn
battle for Blaine and Garfield.
As all eyes are now turned to Maine, We
give carefully prepared table of the vote of
the State cast every year since the great Re-
publican revolution of 1856. Hannibal Ham
lin was then Democratic United States
Senator, but some time after the nomina-
tion of Fremont he rose in his place in the
Senate, declared his purpose to act with the
Republicans, and resigned his positions on
committees conferred upon him by the DEM
ocratic majority of the body. He was NOM
mated as the Republican candidate for gov
ernor, and be swept the State by
1881 majority over the COM
bined vote Of the Democratic and Bell Ever
ett candidates. AS soon as he was inauaur-
ated governor, the new Republican legisla-
ture elected him to the Senate, where he has
remained, with the exception Of term In
the Vice Presidency and few years as GUS
tom house officer, until now. His present
term is about to expire, and the pending
contest involves his Senatorial seat. Since
the Hamlin revolution In 1855, Maine has
uniformallY cast Republican majority over
the combined opposition until 1878, when
the Greenback vote swelled to 41,4O4, and,
when the Democratic vote Of 27,672, gave Q
majority against the Republicans Of 7,248,
carried both branches of the Legislature and
two OF the five members of Congress. In
1879 the Greenbrck- Democratic combination
had 1872 majority over the Republicans, and
that, with some 500 scattering votes, swell
ed the majority against the Republicans to
about 1000.
