THE MAINE ELECTIONS.
Public Opinion fu the State.

BOSTON, September The Herald, this
morning. has a series Of DISPATCHES from the
principal newspapers of Name, aud tie opiu-
.Ons OF several prominent candidates before
the people, and of other citizens who are not
candidates, as TO the probable result of the
election on Monday. The conclusion drawn
from them is that there will be no election of
governor by the people that the senate will
be republican, and that the house is in doubt ,
that four republican congressman out of five
will be elected, and that there is possibility,
but not probability, OF the election Of the
ffih. The most interesting fight win be that
for the legislature, which, in all probability,
for the first time since 1855, will have
TO choose the governor. III the democrats and
greenbackers, who are everywhere uniting,
can defeat Gen. Conner Whether GarceIoil
or Smith would profit by the fusion is one of
those things which cannot yet be determined.
But one OF them will probably be the next
governor of Maine
