Portland, Nh, Sept 9.-We have re-
turns from ninetY-One towns in this State,
giving the following vote for Governor:
Washburn Republican), 1856; Brad.
bury peace Democrat, PHO: Jameson
ONION DemOcraD, 1926. The same
towns last year gave Washburn 21,964,
Dana 1900, and Jameson 1854. The
Republican majority in these towns this
year 2,85S against $500 last year. The
aggregate vote in these towns is 1851
against 37,l08 last year.
The aggregate vote this year will
probably fall short of 1900, the aggre-
gate vote of 1861 being l0,O23. The net
Republican loss in these ninety-ono
towns is 1862, as we have returns now
from nearly two-iifhs of the State.
The loss, if il continues, will leave the
Republican majority not over 5000
against 1875 last year, being less than
half. From appearances the Republicans
have carried four out Of the five Con-
gressional Districts. The First Congress
sional District is in doubt. There will
be a large Republican majority in both
branches OF the Legislature, though not
So large as last year.
