AUGUSTA, Maine. September Q.
At midnight Senator Blaine has just sent
the following dispatch to Senator Allison,
Of Iowa: The result Of to-day's election
NAV lie briefly summed up thus: We have
carried a large majority Of the House OF
Representatives and a majority OF the Senate
apparently, though not certainly. We have
given our candidate for Governor a plu-
rality 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
will only be determined by further returns
and possibly by an official count. On the
joint ballot in the Legislature we shall
have a large majority, thus controlling the
Executive Council and election Of all the
State officers. The majority against us
last year was over 10, 900. equivalent to Co.
100 majority in Illinois, and to 80, 900 in
Pennsylyania, or to l00, 600 in New York.
To overcome this enormous majority in an
off wear with no general election pending
was, Of course, a difficult task, and the Re-
publicans feel that they have made a SPLEEN
did fight with most gratifying result.

Charm Rep. State Cen. Com.
New YORK, September Q.
The Tribune" says of the Maine cleo
ton 1t would seem as if the returns of
back towns in Penobscot and Aroostook
counties and far up the Kennebec. whore
there is no telegraph, will be required to
settle the question whether Davis is elected
by a popular vote. 1t was in these places
the Greenbackers made the heaviest in
roads on the Republican vote last year and
there the heaviest Republican gains may
be looked for. According to the latest dis
patches las. night the chances were about
even on Davis election, the writer thinks
nothing will be left Of the Greenbackers in
Maine after this year. The WORLD says /:
The rain did not hurt the Republicans for
once, as the Greenbackers' strength is in
the rural districts. Conceeding to the
Republicans everything they claim, the sit
nation is this: They have failed to carry
after exertions uuapproached in any pre-
viour campaign. and with the help OF all
the great gains of the party, a State which
for nearly a generation has been easily won
by Republican majorities ranging from 10
to Is. 900 II even higher. So much for
Blaine. The Republicans carried Wash
ington county by $50 majority and elected
two Senators and seven of ten Represents
tives. In case Davis, Republican, does
not receive a majority Of all tue votes east
for Governor, the election of Governor de-
wolves upon the Legislature. The Lower
House is required by law to select
two candidates. one of whom must be
chosen for Governor. 1t is already de-
clared that the House will present the
name Of Bradbury, a straight Democrat,
and send Davis to the Senate.
