Senator Blaine's Estimates
AUGUSTA, Sept. S. Midnight.)- Senator
blaine has inst tbo foil a.,
to Senator Allison of Iowa:
Hon. Hm d. AHison, Dubuque, Ioco:
The result of todays election may be briefly
up thus: We have carried large
majority OF the House of Representatives and
4 majority of the Senate apparently, though
not certainly. We have given our candidate
for Governor plurality of more than twenty |
thousand votes over the Greenback candidate.
and forty thousand over the Democratic candi
late. Whether we have given him an abso- |
lutte majority over both will only be deter |
mined by further returns, and possibly BY the |
official count On joint ballot in the Legisla- |
lure we shall have a large majority, thus |
the Executive Council and the |
selection of all state officers. The majority |
against us last year was over 1900, equivalent
10 10000 i'll Illinois, to $4,000 in PENNSYLVANIA |
md to 100000 i'll New York To overcome this |
majority in an soff year, with no |
general election pending, was of course diff |
'"io .ash anu our IAepuDlcallS 1eel that thew |
nave made a splendid fight with the most |
gratifying results.
