The Political Sensation in Maine.
GREAT EXCITEMENT OVER THE ALLEGED COUNTING
OUT OF THE REPUBLICANS,


OUT OF THE REPUBLICANS.
An Associated Press dispatch from Bangor
SayS:-"The reports from Augusta, Maine, of
the intention Of the governor and council to
count out the republican majorities In the legis-
lature, and thus seize control of the state gov
eminent for the coming year, were fully cred
tied by leading democrats Saturday. and repub-
licans, who have been inclined to doubt the al
legged revolutionary designs, have come to regard
the threatenings as serious. The preparation
OF an act of this character would undoubtedly
cause the most intense excitement ever known
In the state. Many leading republicans go to
Augusta on Monday"
A later Boston dispatch says" kilograms
from Maine confirm fully the previous dis
patches OF great excitement in that state regard
ing the probable counting out Of the republican
house and senate and the election in January of
a democratic governor and fusion councillors
and state officers. Some dispatches state it Is
probable Governor Garcelon will have a second
term. There will be meeting Of eX-republlcan
governors in Augusta to-day"
