MAINE IS DEMOCRATIC
ELECT GOVERNOR AND 3 OUT OF
4 CONGRESSMEN.
BY Strange Coincidence New Gov.
ernor Is First Democrat to Be
Elected Since His Father.

Portland, Me.-There was no uncer.
tainty in the voice with which Maine
recorded her preference for governor
and her attitude on the issues of the
campaign generally, the plurality
given to Frederick X. Plaisted of Au-
gusta, Democrat, being decidedly large
and three out Of four congressional
districts, which are ordinarily strong
ly Republican, reterned Democratic
candidates.
Early returns also indicated that
the legislature might be Democratic
and elect a Democrat as q successor
to United States Senator Hale.
In the face of the sweeping Demo-
cratic victory, the Republican leaders
were overwhelmed with surprise, and
the magnitude of their successes as
tOnished ever the most sanguine of
Democrats. 1t vas the first beating
the Republicans of Maine, the state OF
Blaine and Reed, had had in thirty
years, and by a coincidence Harris M.
Plaisted, father Of the present suc-
cessful candidate, was Names last
Democratic governor IN the year 1881.
Returns for legislature give twenty
Democrats and eight Republicans out
Of thirty-one in the senate and fifty
eight Democrats and forty-eight Re.
publicans out of Isl in the house.

WEATHER AND The CROPS
Government Bulletin Tells Effect on
Cotton and Corn.

Washington, d. C.-The weather of
the past week, as it affected crops, is
set forth in the national weekly
weather bulletin of the department of
agriculture as follows:
"As a whole, the weather during the
early part of the week was too moist
and sultry over the principal corn
growing states, and during the mid
die and latter parts it was generally
too cold for the rapid maturing Of
vegetation, and some light to heavy
frosts occurred at exposed points.
In the cotton growing states east
of the Mississippi the week generally
was warm and sunshiny. Some heavy
local rains occurred in many portions
of the districts, but the average was
generally less than the normal, and
conditions were mostly favorable.
West of the Mississippi good rains &C.
CURED in many portions of Texas, re-
lieving somewhat the severe drOuth
that has prevailed in that state.

A MARSHAL OF FRANCE,

That General Washington was mar
shall of France Is the interesting story
recalled by the Baltimore Sun in con.
nection with the fact that Virginia is
about to present copy of the Houdon
statue to France. The Sun says:
TT became necessary to give Wash
ington this commission in order to
confer upon him authority over Che
Count de Rocha,nbeau, who was an
old ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, and who could
only take orders from a marshal or
the King in person When the French
troops were to be sent tc America the
difficulty about the command arose.
and 1t was settled this way upon the
suggestion Of Colonel Laurens, the
special Ambassador to France. Mr..
Gusts gave proofs OF the facts. This
matter does not seem to have been
mentioned in any of the standard lives
of Washington. But Mr.. Curtis's evil
dence is strong, and the fact that Vir-
ginia Is presenting to France status
of high French official is most In
teresting.'
This only serves to increase the en-
tente cordiale between Virginia and
France.
