Eagle Seems to Have Had Wings Clipped in Old Maine.

Rock-ribbed old Maine seems to have gone democratic. Frederick W. Plaisted was elected governor, having defeated Bert M. Fenald, the republican candidate, by about 8,000. Democratic congressmen were elected in three districts and it is possible the state legislature will be denpncratlc, thus resulting in the election of a democratic senator to succeed Senator Hale. This is the first democratic governor Maine has had since 1880, and strangely, that governor was Harris M. Plaisted, father of the present successful candidate. X Arkansas also went democratic, and Arizona sent a majority of democratic delegates to the constitutional convention.
