Washington Special to Cincinnati Enquirer.
The result OF the election IN Maine makes not
able one indication, which is that the Prohibi-
ton vote is largely returning to its Republican
allegiance. Maine was the propagatipe garden
for the movement which made the cold-water
adherents a party organization. For these pio-
neers to again return to the Republican fold 10
tice seDved to all who have the temperance cause
really at heart that resultS cannot be reached
by standing alone, but rather through the in
strumentality OF one or the other great political
organizations. IL like results attain IN New
York it will mean the accretion OF $1,000 votes
to the Republican ticket which otherwise would
have been thrown away on the Fisk electors.

General Harrison has never been a sensation
al figure in our politics Even in high public
station he has been self-contained, dign6ed, un-
assuming. and so has attracted a smaller share
OF public attention than many men conspicu-
ously his interiors, both in natural ability and
the qualifications OF craftsmanship. A large
proportion of the people of the country we're
well made acquainted with the full measure of
his powers for the first time by the remarkable
series OF MS speeches, beginning Immediately up
on his nomination, and continuing almost daily
until now. The general admiration which these
evoked will be intensified by the strong terse
opigrammatic letter of acceptance which we lay
before our readers to-day.
