PORTLAND, September II. 1t looks as though
the complex ion of the next house might depend
on the four Portland representatives, whose seats

The returns Of the ward officers of ward 4, for the
aldermen, give the cositionists 60 more votes
than appear on the check lists. What makes it
still worse is the fact that they would allow no re-
publican behind the desk during the whole time
the polls were open, although they permitted one
republican TO be present when the votes were
counted. Some Of the prominent democrats

think at least they made m stake.
