THE REPUBLICAN VIEW.

Chairman Babcock, of the Republi-

Maine election.
"The result Of the election in Maine will
be OF very great value to all business and
financial interests at this time. II viii

cles not only In this county
but throughout ihe world. we
looked for "A large majority in Maine, but
hardly expected it to equal the plurality
given in 1884. when so many Democrats re-
fused to vote, but it has exceeded that
plurality by about 30 per cent. and no one
can for Il moment doubt that this vote IN
Maine indicates the sentiment OF the great
northwestern states. The states where
there are large manufacturing and agri-
cultural interests. the states where peo-
pie. read and have an intelligent voting
population. will, in my opinion. join the
procession ana follow the lead set by \er-

The situation in II campaign Is to de-

THE RESULT in MAINE
Both National Chairmen Declare Thai
They Are Well Satisfied with II.
Senator Jones' Prediction.

Washington, Sept. Ex-senator Jones
starts for Chicago tonight. He says he
is gratfied with the result OF his visit
to New York and this city, and says
that he goes back to Chicago satisfied
with the condition of the campaign
and more thoroughly convinced than
ever that Bryan will be elected. Speak
ing of the election in Maine he said
it was far from discouraginE to the
Democrats, on the contrary, all the cir
cumstances considered. it was quite en-
cOuraginc. There was n marked in
crease i'm the total Democratic vote
and a very considerable increase i'm the
total free silver vote in that state.
where it had been claimed at the outset
there was no silver sentiment what
ever. If this ratio Of increase should
be maintai med in ull the states, as he
believed II would be, the election Of
Bryan would result with an enormous
ma jority of the popular vote and IL
large proportion of the state electoral
votes.
