Change From the Republican Side in
1896 TO Democratic Side in
1900 Was 1850.

Portland, Sept 1.-THE Republicans
carried Maine in the election yesterday
by plurality Of about 3l,7Oo. The vote
for governor was about 1850 for Hill and
1900 for Lord. These figures are based
on the returns from about three-quarters
of the cities and towns in the state.
In the 20 settles of the state the vote
was as follows: Hill 2i6O3. Lord ll.72e.
In 1896 1t was Powers 22,S6l, Frank TO-
o21
This shows in the cities of the state
q Republican loss of more than per cent.
and Democratic gain of IL per cent. as
compared with 1896
In the towns the Republicans lost 13
per cent, and the Democrats gained "A
per cent. on the same basis.
The total vote for the two leading
candidates yesterday was about 115,50o.
In 1896 the vote for the two leading can
didates for governor was 1l6, $50, of which
Powers received S2,596 and Frank 34,35O.
The Republican plurality then was as
246. Hence the decrease of the Republi-
can plurality of 1896 was about l6,5Oo.
REPUBLICANS ELECTED.

their candidates, with the possible excep-
tion OF sheriff. The result of the vote
for that office seems to be still in doubt.
NOT MUCH APATHY.
The vote for the two leading candi-
dates for governor in the state yester-
day, as has been said, was about lis, 90l
The size of this totai does not indicate
that there was much apathy in Maine.
as that vote was only about 1900 less
than the corresponding one I'm 1896.
The remarkable feature is, however,
that although the population OF Maine
has been steadily increasing, the vote
of the state has been gradually crow
ing less during the fast 25 years o-
more
In 1872 the combined votes of the Re-
publican and Democratic candidates for
governor were l27 900; In 49, $1,000: I'm 80
$4,000: In 81, $4,000; In 49, l40 000 in 92
$4,000, and in 96. 1850.
But In general the predicttpns of ana
thy seem not TO have been warranted by
yesterdays results any more than thew
were by the Vermont election a week
ago.
In Vermont the Republican voters were
brought to the polls all over the state bv
the contest FOR T. s. senator, and the Re-
pupicans lost only about Z per cent. Of
their vote in 96.

can loss was greater than Vermont, one
could not truthfully say that much ana
