field tonight as follows: THE net result of
yesterdays election as nearly as can bestatod
at this hour, 3 p. m. Tuesday, is about as fol-
lows: The Republicans have carried the first,
second and third congressional districts,
while the Fusionists have carried the fourth
and fifth. The Republicans have carried
both branches of tho legislature by strong
majority, reaching perhaps two-thirds Of

Governors Davis and Plssted have
each over $4,000 votes, with
the probabilities in favor of Plaisted coming
out few hundreds, perhaps thousand
ahead. The result is q surprise to us and
equally so to the mass of the Democratic
party in Maine. Our canvass was never &C,
curately taken and it showed on Wednesday
1900, with an assured majority of 5000
in the minimum. In four days proceedings
of the election we lost over 5000 votes, by
means we'll known to the managers of the
national Democratic campaign, and which do

The total cost is estimated at from $4,000
to 100000 and the money all came from
beyond the state. Such scenes were never
before witnessed in Maine.
DamsIiscotta Sept, Incomplete return.
from Lincoln county received at the Office of
the Damariscotta Herald, gives Plaisted 346
majority, gain of Dab. The entire, Fusion
county ticket is elected, gaining q senator
thereby. OF the six representatives this
county is entitled to the Republicans elect
three and the Fusonists three, making the
representa- in this county stand the same
as last year.
Three Republicans and three Fusion repre-
sentatves have been returned.
Bath, Sept. l4.-Probably the Republi-
cans have elected three representatives. Tho
senatorial ant county tickets are in doubt.
Boston, Mss, sept. lathe following
was received at late hour last night from
Ellsworth: Eighteen towns in Hancock
county give 692 I.edublican majority, against
1852 Republican majority last year. The
II remaining towns last year gave As Re-
publican majority. Eight Republican rep
resentatives were elected to the legislature
and | Democrat in the fifth district. Milhken.
Republican, has 800 majority in Hancock
county.
An Augusta, Maine special ssys returns
come in slowly this morning aud do not
change the outlook rs presented last night.
Two hundred and forty five towns show II
net Republican loss of about 500 on last
years vote. The whole number of towns
and plantations is over 600, but those heard
from cover about two thirds of the state ut
present. Plasted's election is not doubted,
and his majority is variously estimated at
from 1000 to 1900. Blaine.
comedies him elected by small plurality.
The vote is said to be the largest ever cast.
A great many Fusionists voted directly for
Plaisted as tho surest means of defeating
Neavis for congress. Frye is the only Re.
publican whose election is conceded BY the
Fusonists, but Lindsey has q majority BE- &.
yond doubt. Reeds election is claimed by
the Republicans, but his majority is placed
as low as III, and Fusionists claimed that
the returns are being doctored Ladd and
Mur'1, Fusion sitting members, have
maiorities to spare. 1t looks as though both
of the constitutional amendments will have
large majorities, and particularly that making
the plurality elect governor, which, II
adoptt will be operative as to this election.
Another special from Augusta saws
PlOisted's majority will be little over 1000
in the first district. Reeds plurality is now
put at IS.
Dover, Me, Sept, IA. Returns thus far re-
ceiysd from Piscslaqua indicate that the Re-
publcans have elected their entire county
ticket, giving Davis majority of about 400.
Belfast, Sept. l4,-In Waldo county all
but 6 small towns give Plsisted about 400
majority. Fusio- senators and al county
officers have probably l,40O majority. Of
eight representatives six are Fusonists and
two Republicans. The estimated majority
for Murcb, in the whole district, is from / 900
to 200
Murchs friends claim 1900 majority, which
may be reduced to 200 or 1000.
Showhegan, Sept. l4,-Returns from IA
towns in Somerset county, give Fusion
majority. The estimate of the remaining
towns from last years vote will give the
county to the Fusionists by about 800 msjori.
ty.
The Somerset county vote ia not all in. The
vote for G vernon in towns to be heard from
was last year about even. The county ticket
is still in doubt, but the Republicans claim
the clerk of the courts, one senator and tho
register of the probate court, and also to have
carried two out of the eight representatives.
Portland, Me-, Sent. IA. The temperance
vote in the state is trifling. Two hundred
and seven towns give Davis 43 AT; Plaisted,
1887; scattering, 220; total, 1854. The
same towns last year gave Davis 1884;
Smith, 26,S90; Garcelon, 12,S03; scattering.
1911; total, Sl,2iS. Davis msjority is 81 ,420,
against 15,400 in the same towns last yesr.
Towns to hear from gave Davis 27,7l9, Smith
and Garcelon 30,l2l, being Fusion majority
of 2,4O2. The aggregate vote received has
about per cent, which indicates
an aggregate of 46,500. As each vote has
