Eastern Press Cesfnents On the
Maine Election.
New YoRK, Sept. 9.--The World
saws: The majority Of Blaine's can.
didate for Governor should have been at
least 20, 600 under the circumstances Of
the alliance OF the Republicans with the
Prohibitionists.
The Herald says: Blaine, APPEARS to
be 1000 votes more popular in Maine
than the late President Garfield, and
1000 less popular than ex-President
HAYES. 1t shows that II the Democratic
National Committee had chosen to con-
test this election they might have done
80 with an excellent chance Of success.
The Times says: As compared with
the September vote Of 1875, the last one
held under normal conditions, the Re-
publicaus ought to have polled more than
20, 900 majority. 1t will bo seen that
with oil their straiping, with the advan.
taqe Of Blaine's appeils to State pride
and with the field substantially aban-
doned 10 them. the Republicans have
barely managed to held their own.
Tho Philadelphia Tines says: The
election Of q Republican Governor in
Maine by q majority Of 10, 900 thaws out
the Vermont Blaine chill and gives him
a running start for the October race and
the November sweepstakes. Blaine had
TO achieve success in Maine regard
less Of consequences and he hns done II.
The Philadelphia Press says: The
victory passes by the thousands OF pre-
dietions of Republicans and doubles the
majority conceded by the Democrats.
After six years OF defeat and dubious
contentious, the candidates CT Blaine, at
n single blow have carried Maine 70 the
front rank of Republican States. Maine
settles New Eagland; 1t settles the
croakers over Blaine's home strength;
it settles Democratic predictions; it
settles the last Of the doubtful States
by pairing II down to the nsrrowest
Limit Of eight years past.
