Portland, Sept. IA.
Aggregate vote in so towns, 22, ,364, against
S,C35 last year. This indicates that the ag
gregate vote this year will be 100, 900. Last
year it was S0,94S; also that the republican
| majority, which was $3.50 last year, will be
slightly reduced, perhaps below 5000; but
the proportion has been gradually creeping
up with the latter towns, so that this is not to
be depended upon until we get more returns
