AUGUSTA, September S.-senator Blaine
just sent the following dispatch to Senator
Allison; OF Iowa: s.
To Hon. Hm. B. Allison, Dubuque, Iopa:
The result Of to-day's election may be
briefly summed thus: We have carried a
large majority Of the House Of Represen.
tatives and a majority of the Senate ap-
p4rently, though not certainly. We have
given our candidate for Governor
plurality OF more than 10000
votes over the Greenback candidate and
10000 over the Democratic candidate.
Whether We have given him an absolute
majority over both wiltonly be determined
by further returns, and possibly by the
official count. On joint ballot in the Leg.
islature we shall have a large majority,
thus controlling the Executive Council
and the selection OF all State officers.
The majority against US last year was
over $4,000, equivalent to 10000 majority
in Illinois, to 5000 in Pennsylvania, or to
100000 in New York. To overcome this
enormous majority in an of yeai
with no general election pending, was, o.
course, a difficult task, and our Republt
cans feet that they have made a splendid
fight, with most gratifying results.

A dispatch to the Tribune from Eugene
Hale, at Ellsworth, Maine, says that the
Republicans gain $500 votes and eight
members OF the Legislature in the Fifth
Congressional district, and that gain

but it is known that the Republicans have
gained every where. They poll from %
to 25 per cent more votes than last year
while the joint opposition vote is almost
exactly the same. The State is very close
The Republicans and opposition at each
poll Is about 10000 votes. The majority
will not be known until each OF the coun
ties are heard from. 1t was in those dis
tricts that the heavy Greenback vote wa
last year, and in which Republican gain.
was expected this year.
Eugene Hale is elected 10 the Legisls
llature. Two hundred and four towns show
a Republican majority oil s,O7O; a gain q

the day have made the roads bad, aud dc
