NUSTC OF THE OLD PINE TREES.

AUGUSTA, Me-, Sept 15.-Returns from 29S
towns, embracing more than fOur-tfths OF the
entire vote of the State, give Chamberlain
6S,14s; Pillsbury, 1850. The same towns last
year gave Chamberlain 4G,9O7; Pillsbury, 37,423.
The Republican majority this year, 1s,49s; last
year, 9,4s4 The towns yet TO be heard from
gave last year, Chamberlain, 11,1S4; Pillsbury,
S,2OI Should the same ratio Of relative increase
be obtained in these, without those already re-
ported, their vote would be: Chamberlain,
1912 Pillsbury, 1O,2j4. which would give a
total of vote of 1872, 800, of which Chamberlain
would have 1880, and Pilsbury $500, giving
Chamberlain a majority of 1880. 1t is not
believed however, that the towns to be heard
from will maintain the ratio Of increase ex-
hibited by those that are reported. Judge Rice
and other leading Democrats here claim $1,000
votes for Pilsbuly but cOncede the same relative
increase to Chamberlain. Mr. Blaine, the Chair
man of the Republican State Committee, has
only claimed 10000 majority, asserting that
ChambeIlaln's vote would go as far above
n, 900 as Pillsbury's would exceed $4,000. Mr..
Blaine's canvass of the State was most
thorough, and his figures have thus far proved
very accurate and trustworthy.
