MANLEY ON THE MAINE ELECTION. AvuGusta, Me., Sept. Joseph H. Manley, chairman of the republican committee, last night summa- rized the situation in Maine as follows: “We will throw (in Monday's election) the largest republican vote ever thrown. We will give the largest ma- jority ever given in a presidential year.” Mr. Manley points out that the largest majority the republicans have had in September elections in presi- dential years was 19,818, in 1884, and shows how much smaller it was in other years. He then says: “If itisa pleasant day the republicans expect to throw 80,000 votes on Monday next. The combined opposition cannot throw 50,000, and the republican majori which Gov. Powers will receive over Mr. Frank will be the largest repub- lican majority ever given a candidate for governor in a presidential year.” platform of the ca t nois. ste Cotton and put of dan, to the form of a circular, which was went to all republican and gold- standard news-papers of this city.

The first reading of the disagreeable message affected the other Republican and half heart- ed Democratic newspapers in much the same mannor, and the document has never, heretofore, appeared in print. Maj. Byrne reported that “the Central, Western aud Northern | wections of New York State are rot- fen on silver, and unless something ia done to reclaim these sections we Democrats who are openly affiliating with him, that the state can be tak en from Bryan and given to McKin- ley by the skillful use of money- Acting on these adyices he will very shortly divide among his confi dential agents the pro rata bo odle set apart to carry Missouri.
