DEMOCRATIC GAIN IN MAINE.

While from Republican quarters the
election held recently in Vermont was
given considerable prominence as indi-
eating the way 1.-THE cat will jump" in
November, the Democrats attached but
little importance to it, nor did they
figure upon the election held in Maine
last Monday as weather vane, yet it
was with feeling of some eation that
the Democratic hosts received the an
nouncement that Notwithstanding
full vote had been polled in Maine, the
usual Republican majority in that
State had been considerably reduced.
This would at least tend to offset the
claims being made by Republican pa
pers and party managers, if it indicates
nothing else.

A RATHER POOR COMPARISON.

Alleged statistics" being circulated
by the Republican Campaign Commit
tee assert that there has been no very
considerable increase in the cost of liv-
ing as compared to the wages earned.
and one of the comparisons made Is
with regard to building materials 1t
is shown that while bricks have in
creased 303 per cent. putty has de-
creased 90 per cent. This it is con-
tended is an offset but contractor
figuring on the construction of n house
would hardly be willing to offset the
increase in the cost Of bricks by the de-
crease in the cost of putty, Many
other such comparisons are made in
the schedules furnished from the Ma
tional Bureau of Labor.
