Chainnan Manley, of the Maine Repu blicans, evidently believes in the oíd adage that "he laughs best who laughs last." Anyway, he is now having his "laugh." Chairman Harrity, of the Democratie committee, sent out a congratulatory address to the Democrats on the result of the Maine election without waiting for full returns. Now that the votes are all counted Mr. Manley has his turn. He says: "The Republican state committee desire to congratúlate the Republicana of Maine upon the full and complete victory achieved on Monday last. The Democratie party, with the best organization it has had foryears, failed to poll as many votes by 6,000 as it gave to its candidate for governor in 1888, and did not cast as many votes as it gave its candidate for governor in 1884, in 1880 or in 1876. Complete returns show that the Republicans have elected Henry B. Cleaves governor by 12,300 majority over the Democratie candidate; have returned to congress Hon. Thomas B. Reed, Hon. Nelson Dingley, Hon. Charles A. Boutelle and Hon. Seth L. Milliken by large tnajorities; have elected thirty out of thirty-one senators, 110 out of 150 represen tati ves to the legislature, and have elected a majority of county officers in every county in the state."
