by majority of 1742, with his own ward to

summed up to this hour as follows by the Re
publcans: Chaplin, dem, In the 18th, elected
BY large majority Aver, rep, in the 7th dis
full; Hoar, in 9th, elected; Frost, rep, in 4th,

sur Fourth Despatch. 81
9o'clock.-99 towns without Boston give Tai
bot q, $40, CASTOR p ,093; last year Washburne
1884, CASTOR los, 181. The majorities against
Butler still roll in. At Salem he was nearly
1000 behind the ticket and his defeat is over
whelming. In the doubtful districts of Will
liams and Aver, as near as can be figured out,
both are about 1000 behind the Democratic can
didates at this hour. The streets are full of
jubilant Democrats, who persist in the belief
that CASTOR is elected. Newspaper offices are
besieged and the excitement is greater than has
been known for years.

The Traveller comedies the state to Castor,
as this city will give him majority of from
5000 to 1000. This seems to be the general opin-
ion, though the close vote may change the re-
suit.

about 5000, and on all sides his election is CON
coded with probable majority of from 5000 to
10000 Frost's election in the 4th district is
claimed, but it will be very close. Butler is
badly beaten, Thompson having majority of
1851 with OILY one small town to hear from.
Banks has made clean sweep in the 9Th dis
trict, Gooch not carrying single town except
his own: Williams and Alexander are also de-
feated by small maiorties. Aver is defeated
in the 7th. Later returns do not change the
results foreshadowed in earlier reports. The
cities of Lynn and Salem are blaze of excite
ment, bon fires and bells ringing, firing of
guns, with streets thronged with crowds of PEG.

1000 and Frost (Rep.) leads Abbott by 80.
