The Election of -Four Republican
congressman Confirmed.
THE REPUBLICANS CONTROL BOTH
HOUSES.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 6.-About 1900 ballots
remain to be counted in this city, and the CAN
vass will probably be completed before morn
ing. Kalloch now has 1882 majority over
Flint and is elected. The Workingmen also
elect the sheriff. auditor, district attorney, tax
collector, public administrator and surveyor
The Republicans elect assessor, coroner and
superintendent of schools. The treasurer, re-
corder, county clerk, superintendent of streets
chances in favor of the Workingmen.
The Superior Court judges will be probably
about equally divided. The Republicans are
likely to elect four out of five justices of the
peace. The Republican ticket for supervisors
lis believed to be successful, with perhaps two
or three exceptions, also five candidates for
school directors. The Workingmen have
probably elected three, and 1our more are in
doubt. Berstretcher and1Honemen, Working
men, and Cone, Republican, are elected rail
road commissioners There is no doubt the
Republicans elect all four Congressman. The
Legislature is still undecided, but if the Re
publicans have not majority they probably
will be able to control both houses. The re-
suit on the State ticket remains as heretofore
reported. 1t is not quite certain how the SUI
preme Court may stand.

at Prospect Grove, was attended today by an
immense crowd of people. Interesting dis
courses were delivered by Elder Joseph White

ing in his blood, with terrible wound on the
left side of his abdomen from which his intes-
tines protruded, and also a slight wound OF

which the deed had been committed The
man was still living, and the city marshal was
notified who removed linn to the police station
where a physician was summoned and dressed
his wounds He soon slnk however, and died
about half-past nine. He was able to con
verse little before his death, and said, il
answer to questions, that he committed the
deed himself, having lost his money and being
discouraged. The victim of this CHASTITY sui
eide was Daniel McWilliams, q stone-cutter
about 60 years of age, unmarried, having 9
brother and other relatives at Wentworth,
Nova Scotia. He had been employed at the
Spruce Head granite works, and is said tc

A BOLT IN GORHAM.
The Republicans Confident.

Especial Despatch to the Press.I
GogHAM Segt THE Greenback party
opposed to fusion and in favor of Hon. S.
Greenleaf for GOVERNOR who was nominated for
that office at the recent meeting in Portland
held caucus at West Gorham yesterday, and
nominated Freedom, Douglass, Esq, for hep-
resentative. Mr.. Charles E. Cotton, Esq,
prominent Greenbacker, was chairman, and
there was an attendance nearly half rs large as
at the Greenback and Democratic caucuses
that nominated William Hasty, Esq. The en-
thusiastc members of the new party claim
from one to two hundred votes in this town for
their ticket. 1t was busy and exciting day
Saturday at the selectmen's Office. The
voting list was never larger or more carefully
watched The Republicans are confident of
reducing the majority of Al cast against them
last fall, and electing E. S. Golf, Esq, by a
good majority. Senator Blaine was enthus-
iastcally received at our recent meeting and
fired up the two thousand Republicans who
heard him. On the following evening MIR.
Pillsbury had been announced as speaker, by
large posters for Democratic rally, but
although he came from Augusta to respond
and be heard. There was no interest and no
meeting. The Democrats do not take to fusion
in this town. Mark it, Gorham will wheel
inty the Republican line as a reliable town on
the hard money question.

The following circular has been sent out into
York county, by Mr.. Dow, of the Republican
State Committee:
1t has been extensively advertised by Green
hackers that General Garfield and Senator
Blaine will meet De La Matyr and Harper at
Hollis Grove, Saturday afternoon, September
9th, for financial discussion.
The men who put out this advertisement
know it to be fraud. General Garfield will
not be in the State on Saturday, and Senator
Blaine has been engaged for fortnight to
speak elsewhere on that day.
Mr.. Clark, the proprietor of the Grove, was
distinctly notified some days since that no such
discussion W as practicable.
1t is proper that the public should be fully
and fairly warned of this attempt to call people
together on false and fraudulent pretences.

Heavy Influx of Gold and Large
Exports.

1t is estimated that nearly twenty million
dollars in gold have recently been started
from Europe for New York, of which nearly
one-half has now arrived. One of the strong
est reasons for this influx of the precious metal
from across the ocean is explained by an exam
ination of the list of single weeks export
from the port of New York alone. But if we
consider that Boston, Montreal, Philadelphia
and Baltimore are sending abroad a constantly
increasing quantity of ArueriUan products, 1t
will be seen that unless VIC commence new
era of extravaganza, requiring the import of
luxuries to waSteful degree, the flow of gold
from abroad must continue for some time to
come.
For the week ending September 2, the eX-
ports from New York reached the enormous
total of $685., SOS, or W thin less than twenty
thousand dollars of ten million dollars. This
export was the largest of any week upon rec
ord in the history of the port of New York.
And for this single week the movement was
more than a third of the total exports from
New York for the whole of the year 1865, when
the total export was but S29, 451 900; from BOs-
ton for that year the total export movement
was but 1914 900; from Philadelphia 81 ,176,-
900; and from Baltimore 1924 900. These
figures indicate somewhat the remarkable
progress we have been making of late in this
direction.
Below will be found the names of a few of
the places to which the exports from New
York last week were SENT and their volume:
