STATE.
The Great Victory and How IL was Won.
From The Po, tland Press of yesterday.
The result of yesterdays work, as shown by
the returns, may perhaps surprise some of our
friends in other States who supposed that there
WAS q possibility that the people of Maine we're
on the point of surrenderng the hero of Little
Round Top 10 the hero OF Kingdeld. The election
was contested more stubbornly than any pre-
viously held in this State. The Democrats
brought out every man, and the Republicans
were not tar behind them in fidelity to q better
cause. The whole vote is at least seven perhaps
ten thousand larger than that OF 1860 (the
largest hitherto thrown), and will certainly
reach 10000. Returns from 203 towns
give Chamberlain 40, l89, and Plllsbury 35, 49S
votes. The same towns last year gave Chamber
lain 81, 3l3, and Pillsbury 2S,O3l. The rate of
increase OF the Republ can vote on that OF last
year is thirty.three per cent, and that of the
Democratic vote twenty-one per cent. The same
rate of increase in the towns to be heard from
will give 20, 000 M jority. The majority after a
contest Of such violence, with the largest total
vote ever thrown, certainly entities us to exult
In The First Congressional District, Mr.. Lynchs
majority will probably be about $500. Returns
and thirteen towns in lofk, SHOW voc, of
14,l2s for Chamberlain, and 1884 for Pills
bury. This probably does not differ much from
the vote for Lynch and Shaw.
In the other Congressional Districts the Re-
publican nominees are certainly elected.
There have been handsome Republican gains
in every county in the State: York has been
redeemed, and gives nearly 400 majority. LIN
coin, judging froM such returns as we have
received, is also again on the Republican side.
Knox is the only county that remains Democra-
tic, and the two Senators from there will be the
only Democrat C members OF that body.
The returns do not show very fully what
change there will be in the House of Represen'
tatives, but 1t is enough to know that the Demo-
cratic minority will be reduced. The Republi-
cans gain one Representative in this county
from the Scarboro District
Estimates made at q later hour than our own
give even more favorable results, the returns
from 100 towns indicating au increase of thirty
four per cent. on the Republican vote of last
year, Democratic gain of nineteen per cent
on their VOTE and a net Republican gain o!
about IL 600, over %, 900 majority in the State
The amount Of hard work that has been done
in this cam paign is almost inconceivabe, but
10 all who have labored on the side of truth and
right, the result brings ample compensation
