HOW MUCH MAJORITY 4:

The question a. regards the state cam
psign is not the reelection Of Governor
Ross and mis- administration, but by what
majority they will be iuducted into Sec
ond term. Two years ago Ross received
22s,77G votes; Cochrane, republican, g., 236;
DshOney, prohibitionist, 1876. Ross
majority over all was IA 354; over the
republican, 1850. CIeyeland'5 plurality
in 1884 was l3I,975 over Blaine. Bat
1886 was an off year, and this presi-
Dental year. Moreover, the clear cut,
well defined issue Of the present cam
paign-its only issue-the tariff, is one
that will, Of itself, undoubtedly swell the
democratic vote By recruits from the
demorslized cohorts Of the republicans.
A still greater influence that will increase
the Democrat, vote is the popularity
OF the present administration. Gov
ernOr Ross, by his impartial course,
and honest, but firm, execution OF the laws,
has won the confidence of all classes-and
Indeed OF all parties. This will tell on
election day. The people have long ago
seen that Ross entirely fills the bills
just such man as they wan. in the gov
ernor's chsir-s man who can stand and
say: ~ am the governor of Texas, not
merely of the democratic party"
TnegovernOr has shown himself an able
as we'll as a safe mana fact now sppre-
ciated from the Sabine to the Rio Grande.
Then, again, there is not weak or corrupt
man in his adninistra,ion-and Lubbock,
Hogg, Mccall, Hall, and all the other
he3ds OF departments, like Ross himself,
are popular throughout the state Putting
all this together, is it too much to predict
a majority for Ross this time, Of say, 49,
900: Marion Martin won't bother the
governor much.

It Was a political Revolution"

It Was political Revolution"
From the New York World
In the light Of the official returns Of the
September vote in Mr.. aine's own ward,
city and county, his now famous dis patch,
1T Is almost g political revolution seems
funny indeed, as perusal Of the follow
ing, taken from the records Of the state
house in Augusta, will show. Mr., Blaine
is a resident in Ward One, in the city Of
Augusta aud county of Kennebec. In
September, 1884, the vote in his ward was
Republican, $40; democratic, 1885, repub
licau majority, Isl. The city vote stood:
Republican, 1867; democratic, G2l;repgb-
licau majority, G43. The county vote
stood: Republican, 1923; democratic,
1894; republican majority, 1886.
In 1884 Mr.. Blaine's ward gave Repub
lican votes, 500; democratic, POP; repub-
lican majority, 100; republican majority
in 1884, ISL; loss in Mr.. Blaine's ward, 81.
The city this year cast: Republican
votes, 1892; democratic, 794; republican
majority, 437 republican m9joriry in
1884, 643; loss in Mr.. Blsine's city, POS.
The county this year cast! Republican
votes, 1853; democratic, 4 93l; republican
majority, 2,723; republican majority in
1884, 1886; loss in Mr.. Blaine's County,
8G7.
But three counties in Maine equal Ken
nebec's production of wool; but one pro-
duces more hay. In orchard products
and as farming county generally it is
equalIed by only two or three counties in
the state. II is also one of the largest
manufacturing counties. 1t has more
sash and blind factories, more agricultural
implements and edge-tOol manufactures
than any other county In the state. Only
one other county equals Kennebec in
number Of wooden mills. Androscoggin
and York counties only exceed it in
number of cotton mills. Only one county
equals its granite production. In fact,
there is no other county in Maine where
the varied industries affected by the tariff
issue are more fully represented.
There is no county where republican
political machinery Is In better working
order. In county, city ana ward the sole
issue was the tariff, and on that issue the
democrats made a net gain il each. No
county or city in Maine heard so many
speeches as Kennebe9. Kennebec county
and the Fishermen" received the chief
care Of the democrats. The fishermen
towns gave net democratic gains and SO
does Mr.. Blaine's county, city and ward.

SPEAKER CARLISLE declares Blaine
grossly misstated the facts in his Chicago
speech when he said Carlisle had 100000
loaned to four national banks in Coving-
ton lin Carlisles district without interest
and for political purposes. Mr.. Carlisle
afirms that two of these banks have 1e-
publican officials, one democratic and in
the fourth they are equally divided in
politics. The same character of security
was given by these as by all other gov
eminent repositories. Mr.. Blaine is GER

The New York World says "The men
who earn wages and the men who pay
them certainly know what regulates wages
if anybody does. Wnat Is the u'e of
Governor Hill is a practical man. When
the issue was raised as to whether the
tariff or something else raises and main
tains wages, thegoverno' applied, through
the Bureau of Labor Statistics, to the
manufacturer and the workmen of the
tate. OF 1911 employers who answered
the question, ITO what do you attribute
the increase of wages in the past five
years" 86t, or over 60 per cent, said ito
the organization of labor while only six
claimed that the tariff was the cause.
OF j55 labor unions that answered, 800
attributed the increase wholly to organi-
cation. The war tariff organs naturally
have nothing to say to this showing" In
such organizati is found the shee.
anchor of the laboring men when bounded
and oppressed as nov by trusts and vast
combinations Of wealth. When strength
ened and entrenchsd behind the law, as
they are now seeking to secure thenselv yes,
they will obtain those rights to which they
are entitled, and, in a country where the
necessaries Of life are cheaply accorded
them by a wise democratic policy, they
will be the most contented labor element
on earth.

The Recognizing Faculty.

We all know men and women who,
for no reason whatever, seem to ''cut"
us ON the street. They have no preju-
dice against us, but they are deficient
in what may be called the recognizing
faculty, just as others arc deficient in
the musical sense, or in the power of
distinguishing colors. Ones identity
has to be impressed upon such peo-
pies consciousness by long series of
recognition before it can be said to
have established itself in their sense,
so devoid is that sense of acuteness.
Such people are rather to be commits
Grated than congratulated. They are
likely to be unjustly accused of snob-
cry or Indifference, and to carry bur-
den of unfriendly prejudice on ac-
count of their defect. But every
sense may be cultivated. and people
who are afflicted in this way should
cultivate the perception of personals
ty, the sense of recognition, by steady
and careful effort. Compare resem-
blances and differences. and in that
way fix the images of friends in the
mind. Form and Fireside.
