AUGUSTA, Me-, Nov. 1Sth.-The
excitement over the expected
counting out of the Republican
Legislature runs high to-day, and
by the early trains large number
of leading Republicans from ali
parts of the State arrived. Senator
Blaine il here and large number
of Senators and Representatives
whose seats are threatened are on
hand. The Governor and Council
arrived during the day and assem-
bIed at the State House at 4o'clock.
A committee of one from each
county waited on the Governor,
who was unable to see them. A
subcommittee of three was then
appointed, a long consultation with
the Governor resulting in an assur-
ance from the latter, that the re-
turns would not be considered open
in the sense of allowing any
amendment or corrections under
the statute, until the Committee OF
the Council on Elections should re-
port the result of it's canvass, and
that there would be twenty days
from that time for any legal correc-
tion. 1t is rumored that the votes
of the towns of Kittery and Au.
burn and other places are to be
thrown out for informality, which
will change the figures in the State
Senate and give the Democrats
and Greenbackers seven majority
over the Republicans. The actual
vote as cast gives the Republicans
19 Senators and all others II.
