Canton, o., Sept 15.---Major McKin-

from Augusta. Ne. this morning:
81 offer you most hearty congratula-
tons This is your triumph The
Republican party has echfeved today
the most sweeping and magnificent vic
tory ever accorded amy party in the
history Of Maine. We have carried
every county in the state; elected every
state senator. and at least 40 out Of 155
members OF the house OF representa-
tives; secured every county official and
majority ever recorded; elected our
candidate for governor by the greatest
majority ever given a candidate for
that high Office ;endorsed the St Louis
platform and declared for Mckinley and
Hobart by $4,000. The Republican vote
exceeds by several thousand the larg-
est Republican vote heretofore given
and the vote for the Democratic cam
dfdate for governor is the smallest ever
cast, with one exception, the vote OF
1894, which was only 5000 less.
I'VE have kept pace with Vermont
and proven to the country that the
Democratic platform adopted at Chfca-
go will not prevail when met by argu-
ment and reason. We have been aided
in this great contest by many DINO
Gratis, who placed country above par
ty and who believe that you cannot
divide the people into parts upon a
question OF simple morals and common
hnesty. They share our victory with
US. What more could Maine have done
for the cause of good government, hon
est money and protection?
81. H. MANLEY."

ell Clayton of Arkansas, when seen to-
day by a reporter of the Associated
Press ait Republican headquarters. said
of the result of rthe Maine election:
The battle was fought on the ground
selected by the enemy and the glorious
victory far exceeded our most san
guine expectations, as did the Vermont
election. The result seems to indicate
that a large number Of Democrats
must have voted the Republican ticket.
or there was a very large number OF
quiet" votes cast by men who think
deeply but say very little.
II think that 1t clearly shows that
surprises of the same character will be
found to come from an of the states
in the union next November"
do you tlrnk that 1T will have such
an effect ON Mr.. Sewall as to make him
Withdraw from the presidential ticket ?"
was asked.
No. don't think so." said the gen.
eral quickly. 81 don't see anything for
him to do but to stay with his ship
and 60 down with it. That Is what
would do in his place. His Withdraw
al would put the Democratic party in
very peculiar position, as it would
place them clearly in the Populist
ranks
