Yesterdays Elections.

The elections. yesterday. were char
acteriZ.d bv results that We're most
gratifying to the Republicans of tn"
State. Il is evident that the voters
nf Maine continue to endorse mos;
heartily the principles and policies u"-
der which the country has enjoyed. and
is still enjoying. al uncxampled era,
Of prosperity The returns indicate Il
practically clean sweep for the Repub-
Leans all along the line. In Saco a
ticket made up of Democrats and titi-
ZcnS carried the day. and IN South
Portland the Democrats will control
the city government although the Re"
tublicans elected their mayor. This.
in addition to Watprvillr, was practi-
raliy al the showing the Democrats
were able 20 make. In Lewiston. Au-
burn. Rocklind. Ellsworth. East port.
hath. Gardiner and HallOwell the Re-
publiranS elected their candidates for
mayor and Il majority of the members
of the city government.
Perhaps the surprise of the day
came in the result in Waterville. II
WAS generally conceded that Mayor
Davis. who was running for his secoEd
term. was the strongest candidate his
party could have nominated. AS is
well known. Mr. Davis is an ardent
r,,,tc Of,
sion. His opponent. Mr.. Hnrac" Pur-
inton. is an equally Jealous advocate
If prohibition. The contest, therefore
was essentially license versus prohibi-
ton. Under such circumstances and
with such leaders tn" result of the vote
is especially significant. Last year Mr..
Davis was elected mayor by n ma ior-
ity of $50. This year his majority on
the face of the returns is &c. and the
Republicans of the city are confident
that this will be still further reduced if
not wiped out on recount. This re-
suit was not based in any degree upon
the personality Of the candidates, both
OF whom are clean and able gentlemen
1t was rather an expression of popular
sentiment upon the different phases of
the temperance question which they
stand for and represent.
On the whole the Republicans of tn,
state have good reason to feel graf
HE'D at the returns from Yesterday
election. Their Victories all along the
line We're more decisive and sweenin.

Various State Capitols.

The recent burning of the stat"
aroused quite n general newspaper dis
clission concerning the condition of
various state capitols, and incidentally
touching upon their architectural at
fractions and deficiencies. Maine Is
fortunate in having a capitol which,
while not too large for the growing
nj eds of the state. and unfortunately
not fire proof throughout in construc-
ton. is. nevertheless, handsome
building, and from an architectural
standpoint superior to most State
capitols in the country. AS every
BODY knows, it is 4 copy of the
famous Massachusetts state house.
which was designed by Bulfinch,
perhaps the mCst distinsuishod
afchliect America has ever yet
possessed. AS Massachusetts has
grown. the needs of the various de-
p'f'heits nave caused an annex to be
quit at the back of the famous old
building on Beacon Hill. which is much
larger than the original structure
ne beautiful Bulfinch front and the
domH have been retained. hoth nj
"Hicn are exactly duplicated in our
Maine capitol.
| Few capitol buildings in the country
II Is noted. are without a dome. which

The Triumph of David 3. Hill in New
York.

The victory of ex-senator David Il.
of Tammany Hall, in the struggle for
control of the state Democratic Organi-
cation seems destined TO have an inn
portant bearing on the national DEM
Ocratic politics this year. 1t is gener
ally assumed, in political circles. that
Hills ascendency in the party organi-
cation of the state means an instructed
New York delegation for Judge Parker
for president. Had Murphy secured
the supremacy it has been thought that
he would at the last moment have
pushed Mayor Mcclellan of New York
City to the front as the favorite son Of
the great empire state. This is now out
Of the question. There is n gen.
eral feeling, however, that too much
stress is being put upon the importance
of New York in the next Democratic
national convention. Grover cleveland
was nominated for the presidency with
pfat llc3Hy Il SOllu New Ofk delegation
against him in the convention. 1t will
require a two-thirds vote to nominate
any man. and the indications are that
the southern Democrats, who will con-
stitute Il very powerful factor in the
convention. will not he disposed to ac-
quiesce in the northern control of it's af-

Il strong bid for the head of the ticket.
