WHAT THE BOSTON JOURNAL SAYS.
The issue in this Maine State campaign has
been drawn as positively as it will be in the
coming National election. The Administration
has been placed on trial as it has been in 10
other state since it came into power. 1t has
had an exceptionally strong ard able advocate
in Mr. Putnam, and his defeat is all the more
clearly and significantly defeat of bis party
and its national policy because of the gallant
fight he has conducted in its behalf. Mr. Put
nam was avowedy the Cleveland candidate
He stood for the Mills bill and the Bavart.
treaty As distinctly As the President himself
His burial under Il huge adverse majority is a
perfect Waterloo for the Administration. 1t
can be looked at in no other light.
Mr.. Burleigh and the rest of the state ticket
and the four Congressman are triumphantly
elected. They have worked hard for the Re.
publican cause and have earned the gratitude
of the Republicans of the nation. MeSsrs.
Reed. Dingley. Boutele and Milliken are to
be congratulated on the emphatic Endorsement
which they have received from their constit,i-
ents. No State delegation in the House of
Representatives did more during the recent
memorable struggle to assert the principles
and protect the interests of New England and
the North against the wicked sectional conSpi-
racy which assailcd them under the gtlise of
the Mills bill and at the instance and by tie
approval of the President. Names Congress-
men are champiCuS TO be proud Of
