No Consolation for the Radicals.
PORTLAND, September l5.-There are
still $50 towns to hear from, mostly
small and remote places. The aggregate
vote of the State last year was l32, ,270.
This has increased little over five per
cent. so far as received, and OF the re-
naming towns the increase in the same
ratio aggregate will reach l46,SOO, OF
which the Republicans should have
about $4,000, Fusionists about $4,000,
and scattering about 500. Some OF the
remote Fusion districts have brought in
Republican gains.
The Fusionists will probably have
triiling plurality which will elect Plais-
ted. il the amendments are adopted; il
not adopted, or ii found unconstitution-
al on account of being found retroac.

ed, the election will go into the Legisla.
ture.
Vote on Governor Close.
The figures are so close that only the
official count can decide it, unless de,i.
ded gains are made on one or the other
side in the remaining towns. Owirg to
the errors which must occur, in the re.
turns received this way, even the differ
ence between the tabulatiOn OF State
officials and that OF the Legislative
Committee, may change the result.
