" NEW TOKK. The Herald ( independent ) say ; "Republicuns of Maine teem t have reckoned without their host. I spite of all their efforts and advantag the republicans have either lost Mainer or ha.ve come so near losing it as t makeltheir recant boasts ridiculous " The Tribune says : "The result i Maine will somewhat disappoint n publicans. Where they had hope for a small majority , the vote is t close aa to leave the state in doubt. * is well enough to remember , howevc : that the fight began with odds agabi the republicans. The republics party began growing too confident i late , and has been enjoying its victi ries in advance. " The Times ( rep. , ) says : "The coa ition between the democrats nr greenbackers in Maine has achieve & success which trill surprise even i friends in other states.

" The Sun ( Dem. ) jays : "The news from Maine is better and more en couraginjj than many democrats had expected. Should complete returns redeem the promises of those now at hand , the democra cy and their allies have won a remarkable victory and have cut down the fifteen thousand repub lican majority of four years ago to the neighborhood of the v nishing point , if they have not wiped it out altogether. " The Star ( democratic ) says : "If any intelligent student of political events has up to the rt'etent timebec-n doubtful as to the issue of tbe presidential election in No vember , his doubt cannot survive the electrifying ueVvs that reached us from Maine this morning.

Senator Logan was interviewed by a reporter of the .National associated press yesterday and said : "I don't think the result in Maine will have any very decided effect on other elates. It is one of those things ( hat occur occasionally , that no person can ac count for. It ia as much a surprise to the fusionists EM it is to the republi cans. Nobody oxposted Maine to go that way ; it tB a surprise all round. I can't account for it , unless it was the temperance vote. The tempsrance people went over to Plabted , on ac count of a grudge they had against Gov. Davis in reference to the ap pointment of agents in the state for the 8le of liquor under the Maine liq uor law. That was the objection they were trying to counteract when I was there. I think , however , the repuh licans will elect presidential electors in November. I t\oii't \ think the democra'B r.galnbfc \ \ \ it In Ihla Sialej The result in Maine , in my opinion , h the result of peculiar and local causes , a victory on local and peculiar issue * that belong tothatstate alone and wil not affect the current of popular feel ing In presidential matters.
