PORTLAND, Sept 14.-The Republican ma
jority in Maine will exceed anything w
ever dreamed of. Portland gives 1,02l
Republican majority, being a gain Of 30(
over last year. The Republicans in this CIT,
| have been wild with excitement ever sine,
the polls closed. at the last municipa
| election last spring there was no election o
mayor by the people. The Republican gair
! over that vote is G51.
! An enthusiastic mass meeting was helC
| this evening at the City Hall and the dis
! patches were read as fast as received. Th'
| nineteen towns first heard from gave Cham
berlin IA, l24, Pillsbury 9,605, Republican
/ gain of 1904 over last year. All the return
! were read, and received with boisterous ap
! plause.
1t is impossible to get returns from bacl
! towns to night, but the State is more likell
| to give 10000 Republican majority thar
! less. A disgraceful riot has just occurred
at Augusta, Drunken Democrats, to tn,
| number of twenty five, made an attack upol
a Republican meeting. The Republican
! were severely handled at first. The valian
| Democratic police kept at a safe distance
! Clubs, bricks, and other weapons were freel.
used. Another fight occurred in one of tn
! wards this afternoon, in which revolver
were drawn-one of the most diseracelu
affairs we ever had in Maine.
AUGUSTA, Me-, Sept. l4-The election o
| to-day closed the most exciting and mos
energetic campaign ever witnessed in Maine
/ The vote is larger by some thousands thai
ever before thrown. We have carried ever
Congressional district, the closest by $50
majority.
We have carried every county, regairin,
the three that were carried by the Democrat
last year. We have elected every Senate
and seven eighths of the House of Represen
tstives, and have rolled up popular major
ity Tor Governor Chamberlin of 20, 900 Ou
majority last year was IL 800, and our aver
age majority for the past twelve years ha
been $4,000. In our great triumph of 1856
we had 10000, and in 1864 we had $4,000
Our victory of to-day is by far the mos
brilliant that was ever won by the Rpublca
party in Maine, and it has been achieved
over the most persistent and maddenet
efforts of the Democracy.
