The Democrats are processing great
exultation over the result Of the Maine
election where the. Republicans had a
majority Of only $1,000. Taking the
Republican majorities in Maine for the
last forty years the, average is about
10000 and anything above that figure
is Republican gain. In 1896 the dread
of the election of Repudiationist for
president sent the Republican majority
up to $4,000, and it is by comparing the
late election results with the vote Of
that year that the Democrats get their
encouragement" But there is the
same Democratic candidate and the
same Democratic platform In 1900. that
put fear into the hearts Of the Maine
ties in 1896, and there is no reason to
doubt that the result will be the same
as in that year The vote on state ofIi-

was too heavy.
