into the Pine Tree State has aroused unprece-
dented enthusiasm. Maine has always gone
Republican, except once, in 1880, when there
was q combination of Greenbackers and Demo
Gratis. The fusion was successful, and the
ticket was elected, but it caused so much dis
satisfaction that it is probable the trick can
ever be played again. The party is admirably
organized at present. and some of the most
prominent men in the State are taking very
active part in the campaign. The Democrats
are also well organized and presenting bold
front, with Arthur Sewali, who is at the head of
the Maine Central railroad. and Payson Tucker,
general manager of the road. working with un-
limited means for the national Democratic
