THE ELECTION IN MAINE.

Maine votes for State officers to-day. A
campaign of great interest closed on Saturday
evening and the result is to be told by the
verdict of the ballot-boxes tonight Indiana
has contributed to the canvass, both Senator
Harrison and Hon. Will Cumback having
spent week in the State, speaking to large
audiences, and with much acceptance to the
people. Since 1879 the Greenbaek vote in
Maine has been so large that the Republican
majority has been either very small, or entire
ly wiped out, as in 1880. in the election pre-
ceding the presidential contest Then Plais-
ted was elected Governor, with an opposition
majority of 651. The effect of that disaster
upon the temper Of the country will be re-
membered. Severe as the blow was, the Re
publican party girded up its loins and gained
an overwhelming victory in the following
November, electing General Garfield by
large majority of the electoral votes. In 1879
the opposition in Maine had 8O3 majority. In
1882 the Republican majority was 6,886
From the very fact that Maine is the home of
James G. Blaine, the Democrats have been
making, and will make to-day. every possible
effort to break the effect of a decided victory
for the Republicans. No one is deceived by
the apparent listlessness of the Democratic
canvass Every means has been invoked, and
will be tried to the utmost, to beat Mr. Blaine
in his own State This is the very alphabet
of politics. The result, therefore, win be
awaited with the greatest eagerness. What the
effectof the independent movement in New En-
gland upon the voters Of Maine has been, is to
be shown, and what the personal popularity of
the Republican candidate among his own peo-
pie. The Republicans will be perfectly salts
fed with a majority Of 5000, which will be a
decided gain over the last few years at sim
lar election. Anything above that win be an
exhilaration, and add immensely to the al
ready great enthusiasm Of the Blaine and Lo-
gan campaign.

TO-DAY the schools open. Hundreds and
thousands of doors, closed during the summer
vacation, will this morning swing upon their
hinges to admit the hundreds of thousands of
scholars who throng the school houses Of the
State. Its educational system is the princi-
pal thing upon which Indiana justly prides it
self With the largest school fund Of any
State in the Nation, its entire school work has
been steadily advancing until now it stands in
the very first educational rank. In view of
this fact, and in view Of the astounding as

WASHINGTON, March 19.-Secretary Fol-
ger has received a telegram from Charles

sets State Board OF Health at Boston, in
regard to the suspected brig Screamer, of
which the following Is copy:
IAN officer Oft State Board OF Health.
Lunacy, and Charity has Just reported that
he boarded the brig Screamer ut Vineyard
Haven on the morning OF the 18th in
slant, aud found as passengers thereon
fourteen men, four wsmen, aud six in

clothed. The men stated the party was
going to San Domingo Uia New York TO
work on sugar plantation. They said
they had ample funds, and desired to pro-
coed on arrival at Boston forthwith to New
York; thence by the steamer of Thursday

going examination was preliminary. Fur
Their examination is delayed at the request
