MENTOR, o., Sept. 1G.-Senator Blaine
sent tue following dispatch this even
Augusta, Me, Sept. 10.
To Generag James i. Garfield, Mentor,
Ohio:
The indications now point unmistak-
ably To the election of Governor Davis.
If we could be assured of our honest
vote and honest returns from the French
plantations OF ArOostook county, every
possibility of doubt would be removed.
These plantations have not yet sent in
their returns.
Only twice in the history of our party
in Maine has the vote reached 70, 900 and
never reached 10000. The average an
nual vote for the past ten years has been
little more than 60,000. Our people are
in splendid heart and courage, and will
go into the November fight with the adj
vantage of popular majority in the
contest of Monday last.

NEW Y.oRk. Sept. 16.-At the Repub-
lican headquarters tonight Colonel
Hooker received the following dispatch:
AUGUSTA, Me, Sept. IS.
Davis is elected unless the French
towns ON the northern border overwhelm
us by illegal votes. The official returns
are not vet received from them. We
have gains enough from other towns TO
overcome their majorities of last year,
and several hundred to spare by expect
ed returns. j. SMITH,
Sec'y Republican state committee.
PORTLAND, Sept. n, a. hl.-416 towns
give Davis 72,66l, Plaisted II, 7S3, scat
gave Davis G44TS, Smith Al ,567, Garce-
Ion, @, 040, scattering 1858; Davis plural
ity S1S against Fusion plurality last
year of 100
Thirty-four towns not yet received gave
last year, Davis 635, Fusionists 1907,
scattering so; Fusion majority of 572.
If they come the same as last year Davis
will have left SOB plurality; adding scat
tering to that received we have 416, so
that Davis will not get majority with
out further gain of ia.
The total vote to hear from is ,922,
which increased five per cent. like the
rest will bring the aggregate up to 49,
500 as per Tuesday nights estimate and
300 more than predicted Monday night
1t Will, however, be divided the Other
way, namely, Davis, 1890, Plaisted T3,
$50, scattering 400, subject of course tC
further gains or losses on either side.
The twelve Aroostook towns to come
gave DAVIS last year, 157, Smith 10, Gar
celon, 4S1, total only T0S, so that the
change cannot very well vary the result
