New York, 1.-THE Tribune says
the result will be somewhat disap-
pointing to republicans and lead them
out OF their over confidence. 1t also
draws attention 10 the fact that there
will be no fusion against republicans
in November. The writer continues:
The refusal of large proportion of
the voters of the state to condemn
the grossest crime ever attempted
against an honest ballot is another
proof that there is no iniquity which
the democratic party will net approve
to elect the democratic ticket.
The Stats Zsitung says: The un-
expected reports of republican defeat
in Maine will have very disceursg-
ing effect on their efforts in Indiana
and Ohio. az well ss the Pacific states.
and claims the result ss democratic
victory.
The Times says of Maine At the
present writing Reed is reported de-
feated, while Ladd and Murch are
reported elected. Happily, Frye has
beaten Fogg, the chief conspirator
with Garcelon in the Second District,
but two of the widest and most
stupid greenbackers in the country
are returned. and one democrat ID
elected in place of republican. The

Second Districts. carried by US. and

Member of the National Demo-
cratic Commits from Maine.
Il is now claimed ct headquarters
of the democratic committe that
Plaisted is elected by from 5000 TO
5000. Both branches Of the legisla-
ture and four members OF Con-
gress are secured.
Boston, IA dispatch to the
Herald says: Senator Blaine admits
the defeat of Reed, BoutelIe and Mil
liken in the First, Fourth and Fifth
Congressional Districts, fusion gain
OF one congressman.
Augusta specials: Returns come in
slowly this morning, and do not
change the outlook as presented last
night. Two hundred and forty-fve
towns show q net republican loss OF
about 800 on last years vote. The
whole number of towns aud planta-
tons is over 600. but those heard
from cover about tWo-thirds the vote
OF the state. At present Plsisted' g
election is not doubted and his ma
jority is varieusly estimated at from
ZOO to $500. Blaine comedies him
small mRiority. The vote is the
largest ever cast. Prohibitionists under
advice from Nye, their candidate, did
not generally vote for him, but d.
rectly for Plsisted, as the surest
means TO defeat Davis. For Con-
gress, Frye is the only republican
whose election is conceded by fusion
lists, bur Lindsay has a majority be-
You'd doubt. Reeds election is
claimed by az low as III, and fusion
lists claim that the returns are being
doctored. Ladd and Murcb, fusion
lists, setting members, have majosities
to spare. 1t looks as though both OF
the constitutional amendments would
have large majorities, and that par
ticuiarly making plurality elect the
governor, which, if adopted, will BE
operative as 10 this election.
Another special says Plsisted's ma
jority will be little over 1000 in
the First District, aud Reeds plu-
rality is now put at So.

uncertain; also biennial elections.
The Fourth and Fifth Congressional
Districts are fusion, the First, Second
and Third are republicans. Repun-
licsns claim the First District by 125,
and democrats concede it by 95
Cumberland County is divided. The
fusion sheriff is elected. Two repub-
licau and two fusion senators are
elected. The vote is very close and
will require an official count. The
legislature will be very evenly divided |
in both branches.
Complete returns from the First
District confirm the report that Reed
republican, is elected By about 100 |
majority. In Cumberland County all
four republican senators appear
elected. This will give the state
senate strongly to the republicans.
Returns from twelve additional towns
give Davis 1.1S4, Plaisted $40, sca.-

St. Louis, IA telegram from

democratic cause in Indiana.
