Great snakes. what would that Maine
plurality have been if the Boy Orator had
made a few speeches there?-Louisville
Courier-Journal tDem.)
In every part of the country the result of
the Maine election will give encourage
ment to every enc who likes to hope that
the American people will not declare that
81 cents shall be equivalent to 100 cents for
debt-paying purpoSes.-M1lWaukee Sentlnei

The point of interest concerning the out
come in Maine now is what will be the
effect on Sewall? Shrewd politicians pre-
dict that the crushing defeat means his re-
tirement from the Democratic ticket in or
der to make room for Watson.-Chicago
Record (lnd)
Mr.. SewalPs State has told what it thinks
of the ticket of which he is part. The re-
suit in Maine brushes the last hope of the
repudiationists and shows how futile is the
cheap-money appeal to the independent
workingmen in held, ship yard, shop or fac
tory. 1t is omen of overwhelming
triumph in. Observation-Disclosures Times
Herald (Rep)
In Maine, if anywhere in East or North,
the Popocrats might have had reason for
thinking they had chance. In the State
lived one of their candidates. 1t was d
State in which greenbackism had once
strong foothold. They have buried Sewall
under an avalaEche and have atoned for
greenbackism by repudiating free silver.
Cincinnati Commercial Tribune (Rep.)
All honor to the honest-money Democrats
of Maine. Thousands of them voted the
Republican ticket. Many thousands more
refused to go to the polls at all. They pre-
ferred the collapse and humiliation OF their
party to the peril of reputation, panic and
national shame. Their example will be fol-
lowed far and wide. 1t is patriotism of the
kind that counts for national safety.
Cleveland Leader (Rep)
The unparalleled plurality in Maine ought
to encourage all the members of the Re
publican party to do what they can to clear
the business atmosphere and give some re-
lief to the strain under which merchants
have been working. 1t seems to us also that
it will pay men of all parties TO unite in
endeaVOring to restore confidence that la
Dor may be more fully employed and the
wheels of prosperity started iii vigorous
motion once more.-Boston Globe (Dem.)
The Maine victory is a straw of large di-
mansions indicating Enthusiastically the drift
of the political current. 1t shows that there
is no silver craze in that State, and that
when the attempt was made to infect the
Maine farmers with it they rose in their
might and overthrow the Popocratic horde,
shadows the result all over the country at
the polls next observation-disclosures Tribune
(RepD
All over the country the honest-money
flood rises. If Ohio and Indiana were still
October States they would repeat the
verdict of Vermont and Maine Names
majority was not entirely Republican nor
was Vermont S. Thousands of honest
money Democrats in both States voted the
Republican ticket to make the overthrow
of the regulators and the mobocrats com
plete and decisive. Hundreds of thousands
will follow this example in the rest of the
Union.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat Rep.)
