BERLIN, Sept 30.-The attendance OF
voters at the polling places throughout the
Kingdom to-day is unusually large. The
appeals which the Government has made
through their various official and
semi-oficial organs for support in the new,
economical and political policy which
Bismarck has planned out, have not been
without their effect.
The Government candidates also are re-
ceiving some support from those of the
working classes who have conservative
opinions of their own, or who are swayed
by the opinions Of the orthodox, Lutheran
and Catholic clergy. The Socialistic party,
however do not despair of returning from
some of the larger precincts their represen-
tatiyes.

WASHINGTON, Dec 1G.-Mainc Republicans are
intensely indignant at the result of the remarkable
returning board performances by which the Legsla-
ture of that State has been changed from strongly
Republican to a strongly Grecnback-D Democrat body.
Representative Reed says II is performance
which has 10 equal in the history of Republics. Ii

precincts There was no charge that ballot boxes
had been stuffed, tissue ballots uscd or names
forged. 1t was an open and unblushing steal
Mr.. Ladd condones the fraud by saying that for
many wears the Democrats Lave been counted
out on pure technicalities. In the present
case. he SAYS, Governor Garcclon and his
Council have the law Oh their side. In
the language of Mr.. Laid, "they tried TO
bulldozc the Governor and then he got his back
IN and would not yield an inch" He admits
that the Democrats cannot carry Name,
nor can the Fusionists on an honest vote.
He is puzzled as to the case of Portland, where
five Representatives are left out entirely. lie does
not think there is a precedent for il, and
if new election is ordered and the Republicans
return men to fill all the vacancies. they viii re-
gain the Legislature. Mr.. Laid denies that lie
belongs to the Grcenback party. but claims to hold
TO the doctrines of the PendetoniaE Democracy Of
1868.
Mr.. Low, Of Alabama, SAYS it will be
an exhibition of gross political immoral
ity on the part of Mr.. Smith to accept
the Governship of Maine under the circumstances.
As Greenback man and a reformer he would leave
doublc-dealing to the old parties.

Garcelon and his Council, and regards the
claim that they have elected their ticket

He had conference with the Nationals in Con-
grcss to-day. and says they all agree hat the
course of the Fusonists in Maine Is utterly indie

Representative Murch. a Greenback man and La
lor Reformer, agrees with Mr.. Crandal and thinks
that Mr. Smith cannot consistently accept the prize
which has been wTested from his opponent. even
though it were done under authority OF the letter of
the law.
Mr.. DE La Matyr. of Indiana. also thinks that the
equities have been sacrificed 10 tcchncaliics. and
that great moral wrong has been communicated.
