FUSION Is PLAYED OUT.
Union of the Democratic and Greenback par
ties. or fusion it is generally called, has been
pretty generally given up in Maine. Distinct, |
State and Congressional tickets have been NOM
mated so far nominations have been made. |
But the Democratic and Greenback district |
committees of the first district, by deciding to
hold their conventions at the same time and
place. show an intention Of uniting on the Con
gressional ticket. The dissatisfaction with Mr.. |
Reed among the Brunswick Republicans and
the hope of carrying the election by means of
the quarrel. are probably the considerations
which lead to this course. Nevertheless there
will he pretty stiff majority to overcome. In
1882 the vote of the two countries was,-
Reed 16690
Dane. I5,431
Eaton, 123
Stone, 1879
Reed accordingly had plurality of l 253 and
IA majority over all of 93l. A more serious dis
affection than has been indicated will be needed
to overcome this advantage. Portland Adver

IT Is ONLY 4 BO0MLET.
The Independent boomlet in this State is still
an unnoticeabe quantity and only known IN the
opposition press. On the other hand. many
Democrats will vote for Mr.. Blaine The nom-
nations at Chicago have not strengthened the
Democratic party in this State, nor is the plat
form any better received by that party. In
eastern Maine especially an outspoken position
upon the tariff is necessary to secure votes. as
the people of that section produce the same
things aS their neighbors in the Dominion, and
whichever party proposes to favor Domlnon
products will at once md its hold weakening
upon the people. The industries of the State i'll
all sections are also largely dependent upon the
retention of the tariff. The larger proportions
of the capital invested in cotton and wooden
manufacturing comes from abroad and Will
not be increased unless there is fair prospect
of obtaining proper income from the invest
ment Thus far have heard little favorable
comment upon the Democratic platform among
the members of either party. either in the east
| ern or western sections of the State Cor
