The Maine Election.

The Republican plurality at the election in
Maine,on Monday, was II 900, which has been
their average majority in that State from 1856
to 1876. In 1880, by fusion of the Demo
Gratis and Greenbackers. Plaisted, Republ-
can, was elected Governor. The Greenback
organization has ceased to exist and the most
of its leaders have returned to the Republican
fold In addition to this support the Prohi-
bitionists, under Neale Dow, were brought
into line for the Republican ticket. Besides
the consolidation, by bargain and intrigue, of
all the anti-Democratic elements, money was
sent into the State from all quarters and
poured out like water Blaine's personal
magnetism, was exerted to the utmost
degree. The Democrats, on the other hand,
while well organized and enthusiastic lacked
funds and had no support from the outside.
The Republicans felt that it was necessary to
carry Maine in September by large majority
otherwise they might as we'll acknowledge
Blaine's defeat before the election in Novem-
Der takes place. Their almost superhuman
efforts resulted, as was expected, in gains for
their party, but the majority is by no means
phenomenal. The Republicans in reality
only hold their own, and smaller majority
would have been regarded as a defeat of
Blaine.
A feature of the election, which is remark
able after all that has been said about work
ingmen being in favor of high tariff. is that
in the manufacturing centres the Democrats
made gains.
