Senator RIaine,s Report.

AUGUSTA, Sept. S.-Senator Blaine JUS
sent the following dispatch TO Senator
Allison, of Iowa:
To Hon. Wm. B. Allison, Dubuque, Loacd:
The result of to-day's election may bt
briefly summed thus: We have carried
large majority of the House of Repre-
sentatives and a majority of the Senate
apparently, though not certainly. We
have given our candidate for Governor
a plurality of more than 10000 vote:
over the Greenback candidate and 10000
over the Democratic candidate. Wheth
er we have given him an absolute ma
jority over both will only be determined
by further returns, and possibly by thu
official count. On joint ballot in the
Legislature we shall have large major
ity, thus controlling the Executive Coun
Gil and the selection of all State officers.
The majority against us last year wa!
over $4,000, equivalent to 10000 majority
in Illinois, to 5000 in Pennsylvania, o.
to 100000 in New York, To overcome
this enormous majority in an off yea
with no general election pending, was, o.
course, a difficult task, and our Republi
cans feel that they have made splendiC
fight, with most gratifying results.
(Signed) J. e. BLAINE,
Chairman Republican State Committee
PORTLAND, Sept. 9.-The returns
though not official, show that the House
has eighty-seven Republicans to sixty
four opposition. The Senate, fifteen Re
publicans to ten opposition, with York
| oxford and Franklin counties uncertain
PORTLAND, Sept. 9.-It is now certain
that York has elected Republican Sena
tors, giving the Republicans not les'
than IS out of 81, and ensuring the elec
tion of Davis by the Legislature, anC
complete control of the State Govern
ment. Oxford elected fusion Senators
but Franklin undoubtedly gives Re
publican Senator, making 10.
AUGUSTA, Sept 9.-Very few additian
al returns have been received since
morning and it will be several days be
fore the result will be known from the
official returns. 1t is quite probable
Davis is elected by the people. The Re
publican ticket was elected in andre
scOggin, Cumberland, Franklin, Hancock
Lincoln, Piscatabua, SagOdahOc, Wash
ington and York counties, giving then
10 Senators and making certain the elec
ton of Davis by the Senate if not elected
by the people.
AUGUSTA, Sept. 9.-SenatOr Blaine, il
speech tonight, said the Republican:
had a large majority in the House O
Representative and eighteen Senators
beyond all doubt, and may have twenty
out of the thirty-One that constitute tha
body, and predicted that the return.
coming in from the back towns will give
Davis majority over both competitors
though he would not assert this as a fact
In alluding to the extraordinary feature:
of the contest, he asserted that prominent
Democrats whose property consists ell
tirely in Government bonds voted the
Greenback ticket. The Senator's speech
was general review of the campaign just
closed, and an enthusiastic congratula,
ton to the victorious party.
PORTLAND, Sept. 9.-At II P. NJ. the
returns show the House to be SO Repub
licanS and 81 Fusion.
