The following dispatch from Blaine
to Senator Alison, of Iowa, shows
the gains in Msine, by comparison,
and thus gives a carer idea of them:
AUGUSTA, Me-. Sept. 8-Midnigh ht.i
The r-sult of to days election may.
be britf fly summed thus: We have
Carried a large msj ,ri'y of the House
or Representatives and q majority of
the Senate, apparently, though not
Certainly. We have given our candi-
date for Governor plurality of more
than 10000 votes over the Greenback
candidate and 10000 over the Demo-
cratic candidate. Whether we have
given him an absolute majority over
both will only be determined by
further returns aud possibly by the
official count. On joint ballot in the
LEGISLATURE we shall nave q large ma
jority, thus controlling the Ex-
ecutiye Council and selection of all
State officers. The mej,rity against
Us last year was over 13 900, equivalent
to so, 1000 majority in Illinois. to so. 900
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 Re-
publicans feel that they have made
splendid fight, with most gratifying
results. J. G.. BLAINE.

TRIAL OF THE CHISHOLM MUIR
DERERS.
Closing of the Evidence for the Prose
CutlOn.

Closing of the Evidence for the Prose
cutl0n.
DDKALB, Miss, Sept. 10.-The
State, at o'clock yesterday after>
noon, rested its case in the trial Of
Henry J. Gully for the murder of
Cornelia Chisholm. the object of
the prosecution has been to establish
conspiracy on the part of defends
ant and others to kill Chisholm,
Gilmer and Rosenbaum, and IN car
rying it into effect killed Cornelia
and other parties. An attempt was
made to show that on the night
after the burial of John w. Gully a
meeting of the conspirators was
held at the gi1-house of John Gully
to mature the plans for carrying the
conspiracy into effect, but the
State own witnesses proved the OBJ
ject of that meeting to be nothing
more than to discuss the practical
bility Of body of citizens going to
DeKalb the following day to assist
in the arrest of Chisholm and
others, charged with the murder of
John W. Gully, should they resist
and assistance be necessary. On
this point the State gained no
strength. Among the declarations
made after the killing of Chisholm
going to show conspiracy was the
declaration of the defendant that
1--WE have done what he came to do"
and that ''if there is any hanging to
be done, here is my neck"
The testimony of the defense has
tended to contradict some of the
material statements of witnesses for
the prosecution as to the firing in
the Jail, who shot Cornelia and
Judge Chisholm, what parties in the
crowd had guns, the action of the
defendant in the Jail during the
firing, and the relative positions of
all the parties.
One of the jurymen, G. G. Stew
art, has been i'll since the adjourn
ment last night, and on his account
it has been impossible to proceed
with the trial to-day. It is hoped
he will recover sufficiently this after
noon to allow the cause to proceed.
The defense has number of wit
nesses to testify on other points
brought out by the prosecution
The argument will probably begin
to morrow.

TILDEN and John Kelly have at
last come to an open rupture. The ac-
count of the proceedings of the Con-
vention. to be found elsewhere, tells
the tale. It is not at all unexpected.
Threats and counter threats have been

b done under certain circumstances.
Tammany seeing that there enemies
were in the majority withdrew from
the hall. What the outcome of this
will be remains to be seen. Some of
them are In favor of calling another
convention and nominating one of
their own men for Governor. Others
do not want to do this. but to support
