BANGOR, Sept. Is.
l9l towns give Morrell 81 ,227 opposition
80 1913, which indicates Republican major
ty in the state of nearly 10000.
Ezra B. French (Rep.) is elected to Con-
gress in the Sd district, by Is maj, with one
plantation to hear from, which will probably
increase it to 40.
Foster (Rep.) is undoubtedly elected IN
the 9th district. All but three plantations IN
Arostook county give Bradbury (dem.) COS
mai, which shows gain for Bradbury in
Aroostook Co., but not enough to secure his
election.
Both branches of the Legislature are
largely Republican.
PORTLAND, Sept. l4.-Somers (Rep.) has
been elected to Congress in the LIST district
The Republicans have probably carried Ave
out Of six congressional districts. The Re.
pubiicans carry most Of the Senators through
out the State.
In Penobscot, Cumberland and York conn
ties 80 Republicans and lG Democrats are
elected to the Assembly.

Copying the Ballots.

The order Of Judge Lakeland to copy the
ballots for member OF Congress ut the late
st. Louis election, was met with much rail-
ing by the Black Democracy, and It was in
deed declared that tho order would not be
obeyed. But the Judge was firm, and the
order uas obeyad, nevertheless. The count
ing and copying is now going on. A friend
of both Blair and Barrett is allowed to be
present and oversee the business. 1t will
take some time to make complete record
probably several weeks. The ballot-stuffers
souirm and rave, but all to no purpose. The
frmnoss and impartiality Of Judge Lack
land, who is not and never was politioa
friend Of Blair, elicits much praise.

From the following item. taken from the
Tribune of the 18th, It would seem that I'm
ole Sans credit is not quite 80 good as IT
was. This thing Of borrowing forty mil
lions per annum more than his income IS a
sort Of economy not calculated to sustain
credit. The Tribune says: "The market for
Treasury notes is very dull, there appearing
to be little or no disposition to invest in these
notes or the new Government loan. We can
not hear Of any orders for the new loan from
the other side. Treasury notes are rather
pressed on the market at declining rates.

All that we heur of the progress Of the can
yass for Congress in this district is highly
encouraging to the success Of Col. Curtis
He has much popularity throughout the dis
trict. His beating and his arguments are
alike calculated TO make friends for him and
they are doing 80. His meetings are much
more nnmerously attended, and more enthu-
siastic, than al the last canvass, when be ran
far ahead OF his ticket. Many causes, aside
from personal influence and argument, con-
spire to give our sentiments more candid
examination, and our candidates more i'm
partial hearing, throughout the southwestern
counties, than during the canvass Of 1856
and We have every reasonable ground fol
confidence in nm increased Republican vote II

rew Ye.r neef market.

The N. 7. Tribune Of the 18th gives
rather gloomy report Of the Beef market
ID that city. 1t must undoubtedly rule low
this season. But although the price Wall DO
much lower than lest season, it Is = matter
Of congratula.ion that the quantity Of Beef
cattle in Iowa this year il greater than ever
before, and even at the ruling prices will
doubtless bring US more money than ever
before received for that product. The 7ri-
buns says:
aThe truth is, tho market ia overstocked.
We don't know what would have been said Of
us last week il We had asserted that there
would be 100 head more bullocks in market
this week than last, and yet that 10 the fact
II il also q fact that several droves at Alba

timated at over 200, by persons who had
| cattle on the injured trains. As it is, thu
supply in pounds Of beef 10 far greater thar
was ever offered at one market in these yards
The cattle do not average rs heavy % las
week, but the supply Of fat ones is all suih
cient for the demand, even at 30. pound net
aud we do not think it possible flor owner
to sell all of the poorest at any rate. 1
good many were sold last week to farmers
at what thoy thought would be the loves
price Of the season, but now seeing the sam
kind fall cent pound lower, PAM
seises them and they are afraid to buy a
any price whatever. Those who have cattl
