The Fight il Won.

up to little while ago, that while the
Republicans would certainly be in the
minority the majority would be CON-
posed of all classes OF opposition. l feel
certain now that we will have a complete
Democrats majority
There is very marked air of conf
dence at Democratic headquarters, owing
to the assuring reports which are coming
in from all parts of the country. "The
smoke which rested over Santiago and
Porto Rico and which obscared our
political vision" said Chairman Kerr, sis
now clearing away, and we are more
than pleased with the conditions which
present themselves. The Republicans
are naturally trying to explain away the
reduced Republican vote in Maine, but
the fact still remains that there were
twenty reasons why Republican should
vote in that state to one why the Demo.
Gratis should go the polls. The Republi-
cans had either received favors from the
party or were enj lying present benef S,
to say nothing of prospective ones, while
the Democrats were in a hopeless minor
ity from the start. The local candidates
who had any chance of winning were
Republicans. and they could be depend
ed upon to get OUT all the possible votes.
My judgment is-and it is the only way
in which can account for the Demo
Gratis holding their own SO well-that
many Republicans voted the Democratic
ticket in Maine"
