Maine has gone Republican with a
whoop, the majority reaching up to the
neighborhood of twenty thousand, while
the Republicans only claimed about
twelve before the election. It was a
great Blaine victory, and shows the pow
er and influence of the Plumed knight
at hone. It was great compliment to
Mr.. Blaine, but withal it is likely to cost
him dearly enough in November. The
Republican party in Maine has espoused
the cause of prohibition, and in the elec'
tion just past, voted by an Overwhelming
majority in favor of an amendment to
the State Constitution forever prohibit
ing the manufacture or sale of spirituous
or intoxicating liquors-cider excepted.
It was submitted to the people of Maine
by a Republican Legislature. The Re-
publican party espoused its cause before
the people, and the Republican voters
went solidly for it at the polls. mr..
Blaine himself, although at home, did
not have the manhood to vote in the
election, but it is evident that he is in
sympathy with the movement. This, at
least, is the view taken of the matter out
West, and the Germans of Ohio, Wis.
consin and Illinois, propose to speak to
Mr.. Blaine in November. They are
utterly opposed to prohibition, and al
though they have been Republicans as a
class, yet it is said that thousands OF
them will vote the Democratic ticket at
this time as a rebuke to the temperance
movement in the Republican party. Thus
Mr.. Blaine's victory in Maine may prove
his defeat in Ohio, Wisconsin, Illinois
and other Western States.
