From early morning it looked as II
lain would fall, but it did not, and
about o'clock the sun came out bright
Everywhere a the polls the organlZa-
ton Of the republicans was evident in
the activity they displayed in getting
out full vote at the earliest possible
hour. Scores of hacks and carriages
We're in commission to carry the old
and lame voters to the polling places,
and many persons from other states
also came home to vote. The demo-
cratic organiza ton was nearly as good.
There We're only few local contests
to arouse factional feuds, and order
was preserved at the polls throughout
the state without much difficulty.
The campaign, the contest OF the
day, was the most interesting Maine
has seen in 20 years, if ever in her his
torv. It has presented the unique fea-
t11re of son arrayed against father IN
the case of Hon. Harold SeWal ot
Bath who took the stump to argue
against the principles Of Hon. Arthur
Sewall, the democratic nominee for
and contention, the contest was re-
markably free from personalities. Inc
most effective work was done from tht
stump, and never did more Formidable
array of campaign orators eXpoune
republican doctrines in New Eng
land state But the struggle was no
entirely One-slded.
With internal dissensiOns and lacF
of funds to contend with, the demo
Gratis made a very strong tight espec
ially in the cities. Candidate Franz
did good work On the stump, and Will
the speakers generally from outside Q
the state We're not orators OF grea
fame their work was productive 0
some good results. In the last wv
weeks the gold democrats took han'
in the struggle, and several OF thel
leaders addressed large audiences Il
the cities, but the returns tonight III
dicate that the principal effect OF thei
participation in the campaign was t
strengthen the republican ranks
the names Of the nominees Of the gol
democrats had been on the tlcke'
however. it is believed very geo
showing would have been made.
Candidate Bateman was the mai
strength Of the populists in their ot
half, his efforts being mainly devote
to keeping the members Of his part
who favored free silver out OF Inc deh
ocratic ranks His opposition has bee
based on the candidacy Of SeWall IL
vice president, which he maintains
inconsistent, and his objections to tn
democratic ticket on that account nav
been most strenuous. The figures
hand tonight indicate that there hf
been some decrease in the populi
vote, It is believed that some OF tn
loss has been aided to the democrat
strength.
The prohibitionists conducted the
campaign On practically the same I'M
as in past years. In none or the COZ
gressianal districts was there CLIO
contest. All the democratic candldat
for congress evidently believed that
was impossible to defeat the republl
an nominees and their canvass was j
very marked In Mr.. Reeds dlstrit
it was conceded his majority would
larger than ever, and it was also
pected that Messrs. Dlngley Milk
and Boutelle would be successful
increased majorities.
