MAINE ELECTION.
The Election of Davis by the
LEGISLATURE Assured.

PORTLAND, September 9.-The re-
turns, though not official, show that
the House has eighty-seven Republi-
cans to sixty-four opposition. The Sen
ate. fifteen Republicans 10 ten Opposi-
ton, with York, Oxford and Franklin
counties uncertain. One vote from
either county gives Davis the Cover
norship. In the event of the opposition
getting all the others, the Republicans OF
the House would probably send up the
name of Bion Bradbury, straight DEM
ocrct, who has a few scattering votes,
and the opposition in the Senate would
OF course elect him. This estimate gives
Cumberland, SagadahOc, Lincoln, Ken
nebeck, Andracoggin, Hancock, Wash
ingtOn aud PiScattaquis to the Republl-
cans-l5. Somerset, Penobscot, Walds,
Aroostook and Knox to the opposition
10. York 3, Oxford ,. Franklin /, un-
certain
PORTLAND, September 9.-The Repub
licans have carried Washington county
BY $50 majority, electing two Senator'S
and seven of the ten Representatives. In
case Davis, Republican does not receive
a majority of the votes cast for Govern
or and the election of Governor there
fore devolves upon the Legislature, the
lower House, which is required by law
to select two of the candidates OF whom
the Senate must chose for governor,
will, it's already declared, present the
names of Bradbury, straight Democrat,
and Davis TO the Senate.
PORTLAND, Me-, September 9.-lork
county, lacking one township, which
gave three opposition majority last year,
gives fifty majority for Davis, Republi-
can. The election of Davis for Governor
by the Legislature is assured.
PORTLAND, September 9.-It is now
certain that York has elected Republ-
can Senators, giving the Republicans
not less than Is out of 81, and ensuring
the election of Davis by the Legislature,
and complete control OF the State Gov
ernment. Oxford elected fusion Sena-
tors, but Franklin undoubtedly gives 4
Republican Senator, making ~.
AUGUSTA, September 9.-Nery few
additional returns have been received
since morning and il will be several days
before the result will be known from
the official returns. IL is quite probable
Davis iselected by the people. The Re-
publican ticket was elected in Andro-
scoggin. Cumberland, Franklin, Han
cock. Lincoln, Piscataqua, SagOdahoc,
Washington and York counties, giving
them 70 Senators and making certain
the election OF Davis by the Senate if
not elected by the people.
AUGUSTA, September 9. - Senator
Blaine, in speech tonight, said the
Republicans had large majority in the
House Of Representatives and eighteen
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 majority over
both competitors, though he would not
assert this as a fact. In alluding to
the extraordinary features OF
the contest, he asserted that
prominent Democrats whose pro-
pertv consists entirely in Government
| bonds voted the Greenback ticket. The
Senator's speech was general review OF
the campaign just closed, and an en-
thusiaStic congratulation TO the victor
iOus party.
PORTLAND, September AT l2 P. NJ.
the returns show the House TO be 50
Republicans and 60 Fusion.
