will have over 5000 plurality, in a
total vote of about 10000. The vote
OF 1880 gave total plurality of 1863, so
the gain this year will be 5000 on the
Gubernatorial vote OF 1880. The Pres
idential vote that year gained 5000 on
the Gubernatorial vote, and probably
will gain in November considerably on
this. AL four Congressman were elect

publicans, no Democrats. The House,

The New York Heral says: Blaine
appears to be 4, 600 votes more popular
in Maine than the late President Gar
field and 1000 votes less popular than
ex-President Hayes. This is not a
very hopeful showing for the RepubG-
can Presidential candidate in his own
State. 1t does not show an overwhelm-
ing enthusiasm for her "favorite son. !"
On the contrary, it shows that if the
Democratic National Committee had
chosen to contest this election, instead
of letting it go by default, they might
have done so with an excellent chance
of success.
The New York World says: Under
the circumstances, with an alliance be-
tween the regular Republicans and the
Prohibitionists, the majority for Blaine's
candidate for Governor should have
been at least 10000. A failure to
reach these figures is an exposure of the
weakness of Blaine, and an acknowl-
edgement that his magnetic influence
will not attract the close States of the
West.
The New York Sun says: There are
"crumbs of comfort" for both Republi.
cans and Democrats in the returns from
Maine. The Republicans may rejoice
that the majority is quite as large as
the most sanguine had prophesied, and
the Democrats may find consolation in
the fact that they gain somewhat in the
manufacturing cities.
The New York Times figures Is, 900
plurality for Robe; the Herald, Is, 900;
the World and Sun the same, and the
Tribune, 1900 to $1,000.

bituminons miners Of Western Penn
sylvania. This includes the river and
railroad miners and those working in
the Clearfeld regions, in all about 200
men. The object Of ordering a general

A Nashville special says that several
Mormon emissaries have been prowling
around Florence, Ala, lately, making
one of their chief hating places at the
house of William Jenkins, nine miles
from that town. A number of men
went TO the house and found two elders
there. One. named Linton, saved him

A single stroke Of lightning last Sum.
mer struck an entire potato field of sew
eral acres belonging to N. j. Wood, in
Windham county, Connecticut. The
