Following is the summary of the vote for Gov

The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1884-09-15

Robie's majority over Rsdman in 1884 is 49,
700 against Democratic majority in 1873 of 1863
for Plaisted over Davis. Toe total voto is the
largest ever cast for governor at any election
except one. Tue Republican gain since 1880
by the official vots is 1888, With Is small
town aud plantations 10 bear from, the returns
from which will Tot materially change the re-
suit.
Four Republican members of Congress have
been elected by majorites ranging from about
1000 to 5000, The legislature 10 one branch
the Senate-is wholly Republican, while in
the House there are 116 Republicans to IA Dem
ocIas, with Que district yet to be heard from.
Total number of votes cast for and against
the proniblfory amendment to tho constitution
is 84,731 Number cast for it is 64 ST.; number
Cast az inst 1t is 20.224, SO that the amendment
is adopted by a majority of A ,283 votes.
This victory is one of thu largest most sweep
ing, and most complete which the Republicans
OF Maine have ever achieved, and larger than
the anticipations of the most sanguine aud
best informed men politically of the party. 1t
gives Blaine and Logan magnificent lead in
the presidential race which will help them i'm
mensely in every State of the Union. In No
vember Blaiue's majority will easily be 5000.

be repeating the same character year after year.
There is something about it that robs q good

1t not only Injuries the memory. but it affects the
mind. Mr.. Sims Reeves, the great English
tenor, once declared that he had sung s.My
Pretty Jane" so many times that it required o
great effort on his part to get through tin
fact, he forgot the words of the song, Mr..
Edwin Booth has been playing Hamlet so

Joe Jefferson has SO long repeated the lines
In I" Rip Van Winkle' that his memory
gets confused when playing it. Mr. Couldock
has so long acted in Hazel Kirk that he
cOnfesses his mind Is sometimes sorely
troubled to prevent himself from wandering
from one scene to another Dozens of cases OF
this kind could be mentioned. Memory, THAT
warder of the BRAIN" like any other sensitive
faculty, requires Frightening up occasionally
and to supply 1t with fresh material is as bene-
fetal as O stream Of water upon faded flower
The neutrality-suspicious. "virgnius. "the ssGIad-
iator" and one or two other roles extending over
period OF years, with the same routine OF stage
business which each piece requires night after
night, is to-day one Of the causes, IL not the
actual cause of Mr.. John McCullougt's mental
weakness This may appear strange to those
who do not live by mental labor" yet II any
man will commit to memory poem, and keep
repeating it daily for years, or even months, he
will experience a nervous, irritable feeling, and
must exert his memory to prevent his jumbling
OF the words. and In time there comes almost q
total want OF the recollection NJ to the order in
which the lines should be spoken.
