It is- a Republican State and the re sult was determined wholly by local issues and conditions. Maine is neith er a barometer nor a thermometer of the national election. This is proven by the fact that in the first Cleveland campaign it went Republican by more than 20,000 majority and in the third Cleveland campaign by more than 14,000 majority and yet the Demo crats won in November. The election in a Democratic victory in one sense, that the Republican majority in the State has been reduced to the pitiful figures of 3,800.
