ing:
AUGUSTA (Me) September 10th.
General J. A. Garfield, Mentor, o.: The indics
tons now point Enthusiastically to the election OF
Governor Davis. II could be assured of an
honest vote and honest returns from the French
plantations Of Aroostook county, every possibility
81 doubt would be removed. These plantations have
been the hotbed of Democratic frauds for thirty
years past. We have not yet received their returns.
The total vote for Governor will reach nearly if not
quite a. 600. Only twice in the history Of our
party in Maine has the vote reached 5000, and it
never reached 10000. The average annual vote for
the past ten years has been little than 00o0
Our people arein splendid heart and courage, and
will go into the November fight with the advantage
of popular majority the contest of Monday
last. j. G. BLAINE
AN INDIGNANT GREENBAcKER.
CHICAGO, September 16th.-The Inter-
Oceans Washington special says: Lee Gran
dali, Secretary OF the National Greenback
Committee, is indignant at the cheek of the
Democrats, AMI especially Of Hancock, for
claiming as their own what they supposed
was victory in Maine. At all events it was
simply Greenback victory, and the elected
Greenbackers were tor the most part Repub-
licans. He says there is no possible chance
for fusion on the Electoral ticket in Maine,
or anywhere else. The Greenbackers will
never fuse. 1t is only the Democrats who
fuse.

other large towns met our principal loss by
means to which have elready referred. These in
struneutalities did not reach the country towns
hence Governor Davis has been coming up splehddy
within the last SO hours We now feel confident Of
his election by the vote OF the people. There is
possibility that Democratic frauds will be employed
among the French in the far. on &adawaska region,
