Governor In 1889 by 8,S72. About the
year 1880 the Governors term of office
wss extended to two years; hence there
are no election figures for 1881 and 1883.
A correspondent of the Philadelphia
Times, who has been on the ground
considering Maine politics, takes up the
four Presidential elections, beginning
with 1868, and finds that the average
Republican majority would mark about
$1,000. II the Maine election this year is
to be q great boom for the Republican
National ticket, the majority at
Mondays election must be very much
greater than the Republican majority In
1880 or 1889, According to the news re-
ceiyed up to this time, the parties hold
about the same position toward each
other that they did In 1882 The re-
