BLAINE DID NOT VOTE.


1ue rev OomOcfAto VINO are IOlter'
ing about Washington at present
were in a high state Of glee to-day
over the result OF the Maine election
1t is true that Maine has gone Repub-
lican, but its majority has been split
in half. F. flowing in the wake OF
Vermont, this was looked upon as an
indication by far seeing politicians
that the great Democratic tidal wave
OF 1890 has not receded. The Re-.
publicans made the hardest canvass in
Maine that they had attempted in ten
years. They had the chief Republican
orators of the country on the stump
for three weeks. Governor Mckinley
Governor Fairchild, Senators Allison
and H.wley, Steward L Woodiord,.
j. Stat Fasseit, Henry Cabot Lodge
ex-Congressman NJ son of Illinois and
other men of that c.Iib.r. have begged
and pleaded with the people of Name
to give a rousing majority for the
grand old party that would be looked
upon as q defiance to the national
democracy. The democratic canvass
was conducted quietly and most de-
volved upon home talent. The DEM
Ocra's fully expected to reduce the
majority, but they did not calculate
upon such a b. lcut as actually &C.
Cured. The administration people
here are cu.sing Blaine They blame
him. They claim that the Blaine
half-breeds kDifed the ticket, and pre-.
dict that they will knife it in NV
York, Massachusetts, and throughout
the country the same as they did in
III InF.
BLAINE GAVE THE TIP.
There Is no doubt that the Blaine
people are siiQ in very bad temper
and show no \lhusiasm whatever for
Mr. Harris N AMI his C ,lleague on the
ticket. They look upon Whitelaw
Reid Ms traitor to Blaine, ami really
feel m re bitterness against him than
they do against H.rrison. BIaine's
failure to vote himself will be con-
sidered in the way OF a tip by his
party friends, and it is safe to say that
many of them will neglect to register,
also, aud will therefore remain at
home or 60 fishing on election day.
Big Tom Reed C ,mes in for share OF
abuse, too, on the part Of the admins
tration pc pie. because of his failu e
to mention Harrison's name during
his canvass The ex Ca ignored
Harrison entirely during the Maine
campaign, never mentioning the presi-
dents name and rarely referring to
the national ticket. The dem ,crats
and republicans allie are pretic ing
that if the same ratio of increase in
the dem ,crotic vote aud decrease in
the republican vote that VS. visible
in Maine and Vermont is carried into
Massachusetts, and New Hampshire,
both states, as we'll as Connecticut,
can be relied upon to cast their cleo
toral vote for Cleveland and Steven
son,
LOOKS WELL ALL AROUND.
The democrats are feeling very
cheerful all around. The announce
ment that Senator Hill is to open the
campaign in Brooklyn in a few days,
and perhaps stump New York and
New England in favor of the nation Il
democracy, fills democratic workers
with delight and many of them are
shaking money in the faces of their
republican friends this evening and
offering heavy Odds on Cleveland's |
election. The reports that reach here
from New York are of the most fiat
tering character from q democratic
From all accounts the
faction & ht has been adjusted, and
those who were opposed to Cleveland's
before the national con-
vention are nov earnestly enlisted in
the support of the ticket, as are those
who we're the special adherents of Mr..
Cleveland in New York state. Your
Uncle Jerry Rusk is very much dis
turbed over the condition of affairs in
and he informed number
Of republicans to-day that he was very
much afraid that Wisconsin was gone
to the devil, which was his way Of de-
it; that the democrats had
The upper hand in the state and would
give the electoral vote to Cleveland.
DUDLEY GIVES INDIANA UP.
The news from Indiana is also very
to the democrats. A Hoosier
democratic politician offered to bet
blocks Of Eve Dudley last night on . :
Itreet car that the vote of Indiana
would be given to Cleveland and
Stevenson. Dudley's response was
Il will make an even bet with you
hat the democrats won't have 20, 900
in Indiana" This little Incl.
