The News from Malnes
AUGUSTA, Sept. -Midnight.-Senator
BIain has just sent the following dispatch.
To Senator Allison, Dubuque, I0lod:
1.-The result of to-day's election may be
briefly summed thus; We have carried
a large majority of the House of Repre-
sentatives and majority of the Senate,
apparently, though not certainly. We
have given our candidate for Governor
plurality of more than 10000 votes over
the Greenback candidate and 40 900 over
the Democratic candidate. Whether we
have given him an absolute majority
over both, will only be determined by fur
count. On joint ballot in the Legislature,
we shall have large majority, thus con-
trolling the Executive Council and the
selection of all the State officers. The
majority against us last year was over
13, 1000, equivalent to $1,000 majority in
Illinois, to $4,000 in Pennsylvania, or to
100, 900 in New York. TO overcome this
enormous majority in an off year, with
no general election pending, was of course
a difficult task, and Our Republicans feel
| they have made splendid fight with
most gratifying results.
J. G. BLAINE,
Chairman Republican State Com.
Our latest from the victory in Maine is
from Portland, Sept. 9th, as follows:
Senator Blaine in speech tonight, said
the Republicans had large majority in
the House of Representatives, and eight
teen Senators beyond all doubt, and may
have twenty out of the thirty-One that
constitute that body, and predicted that
the returns coming in from the back towns
will give Davis an absolute majority
over both competitors, though he would
not assert this as a fact. In allnding tC
the extraordinary features of the contest
he asserted that prominent Democrats
whose property consisted almost entirely
in government bonds, voted the
Greenback ticket. The Senator's speech
was general review of the campaign
Just closed an enthusiastic cOngratula-
ton to the victorious party.
PORTLAND, Me-, Sept. 9.-At midnight
the returns show the House is to be eighty
nine Republicans to sixty-two fusion.
