Republican Majorities in Maine.


An exceeding emphatic quietus is
put by the New York San upon the
efforts of democrats in certain quar-
tiers to draw incorrect conclusions
from the election figures in Maine at
the last election.
These efforts consist in an attempt
to show that a republican majority of
only $4,000 in Maine is abnormally
small and threatens the integrity of
the party.
1.-The fact u.s." says the Sun, "that
during the past thirty years, in the
elections corresponding with that of
the 18th inst. that is to say, in the
elections for governor midway be-
tween presidential years, only once
has the republican plurality in Maine
exceeded 10000. That once was in
1894. the momentous year of reaction
against Clevelandism.
The figures show how big repub
lican victory has been won in 1895 by
the Hon. Joe Manley:

1t is refreshing to find men who, after
the world has showered fame and fortune
upon them, return to the humble sur
roundings and the old friends OF their
early days. and mingle with them as
though forgetful of the intervening
years. Sucn men are the Maxim brot hers,
who are spending few weeks at their Old
Maine home. There is none of that snob-
bishness about them which betrays small
ness of intellect in inverse ratio to large
ness of purse; the plaudits of world
have not Quilted their ears to the homely
greetings of old friends. Old pleasures rs
well as old friends still have their de-
lights for them, as little incident serves
to illustrate. Hiram Maxim leaned over
the rail of the bridge at Milo. There was
thoughtful expression al his eyes, and
one might suppose he was conjuring his
fertile brain for ideas for new schine
of war for annihilsting armies. His COM
panion waited expectan;ly for him to
speak. Finally the silence was broken ::
"Forty-eight years ago." said Hiram
Maxim, Il caught an eel out of that big
hole over there; last night l caught
