Blaine Plan Falters in Maine Election
The Lewiston Journal reports the Blaine plan failed in Maine as voters shift from 1878 totals. Davis trails by 1,119 votes for Governor with 13,000 more total votes statewide, while 9,000 of last year’s home voters backed Republicans and 4,000 backed opposition. The Republican majority shrinks, risking a Governor elected by the Legislature.
