in that state I'VE expect TO considerably
Increase Vancc's majority Of 1900. The
Rcruhlicans have no real idea Of eirrying

alor Barnum, chairman OF our commit e.
sad that Republican majority Of less than
10000 TO 5000 would be decided indicl-
tjCu in cur favor. The result juStiiirS his
view. In September, 1876. the las clcc-
ton with which any comparison can be
fairly made, the Republican majority
wns nearly 1900, although the state was
sharply contested by the Democrats AMI
many Of our best speakers were on the
stump there. This year, with no contest
on cur part and mn extraordinary one on
the part OF the Republicans, aided by un-
limited resources and The personal super
vision Of the presidential candidate, the
Republicans have at most substantial
repetition OF the result in 1876, when Til
den carried the country. Maine this year
VAS surely Republican State. The Demo-
cratic contest was purely local one, and
the national organization wasted neither
time, money, nor speakers in cOntcStiuS it,"
