/ 10000.

The election in Maine proved one OF the
quietest in the states history. Generally
the returns showed a falling off i'll the
Democratic vote and slight Increase ~
the Republican vote, which accounts, IN
a great measure for a heavy Republican
plurality, estimated at 10000. The vote
cast for Palmer and Buckner was not as
heavy as anticipated.
Mckinley led Sewall by 1O1 votes in the
latter's own ward and 752 in the city
Candidate Sewall was interviewed by an
Associated Press representative ana SAID:
1--WE will be under government controlled
by syndicates for the next four years, as
we'll as by injunction. Mr.. Bryan received
l40 electoral votes, which shows that there
are some honest men in the country.
