New YoEK, SEP. 17.-The Tribune
publishes the following dispatch, da-
ted Augusta, Me, Sept. 10Th, to
Whitelaw Reid, of the Tribune:
The returns from the county
towns show steady and uniform gains
in the republican vote, ust fyirg opr
canvass in every respect. In Port
land. Bangor, Bath, Biddeford, Bel
fast and some fifteen or tive otv
other large towns we met Our primo
pal loss by means to which
[ have already referred. The
irstrumentaiiies did not leach
country towns, hence Plaisieds S
900 major. t5y. DAVIS has been
coming up splepdidly w.th;n
the lass ;y-sx hours. We
row feel confident of his election by
a vote of the people. There is
possibility that democratic frauds
will be attempted among the French
in the far off Madawaska region, on
our extreme northeastern frontier,
over three hundred miles from here
by the existing routes of travel.
These French people are themselves
honest and innocent, but they are
made passive instruments of fraud
by the genuine Anglo Saxon demo-
c-lts OF the state-steal variety.
l,.euds ii MaGawaska have been
cs,en 1.ied by democrats in The past.
They veIe signally exposed and re-,
l.J,.eG as long ago as 1858, by Hon.
jas. S. Pike, Of the Tribune, aD-
pointed specia! commissioner by
Coz. no.. Mo.1iIl. 1t may become
nececsa Y to order a similar jnvesti-
gAt.on this year. The courage Of
the lie ne republicans never was
I.;,Ger than at this moment. We
have elected % members of the
sarate against 8 Of the fusionists,
c1u heye the house Of representa-
ives by large majority, The polit-
ical power Of Maine is permanently
wresoei {. ON the men who last year
d.shoro4el the state.

HANCOCK's AND OTHER BLOWS"
The Sun has the following: Gen.
Harcocl, on the receipt of the first
Ma,ne news, telegraphed his con-
gratulations to Harris NJ. PIaisted,
at Bangor. Mr.. PlaisteG replied
"Tkanks for your congratulations on
the gloliors victory of our plain
people in opposition to class legisla-
ton and 10 the sixth term. We
fused and won a union victory. You
head the enemy while l spike the
guns"
Mr. Pulcifer teleSraphed that him
self and immense flieDds desired al
opinion from Gen. Hancock on Maiue'f
vlc'o Y. The generals reply was
"Nele9T2m received asking what
tL I'll. j VII lead to pure and eff
cent administration of our pablo
affairs, buryiGg sectjonaii8m, cement
ing t1e union and perpetuauing rep
resentatiye government, but instead
Of pelmittilg 6 US to relax cur Ibors
it imposes the necessity Of 1ncreas-
ing them to resist the desperate
efforts of our opponents. Harder
work chan ever is required of oul
friends for crowning the victory"
Eugene Ca. Ady, of San Francisco
telegraphed: "Maine is redeemed
and a new star in the east shines
brightly. It's name is Hancock
'Bayonets are not fit instrument
for collecting freemen's votes. Wei
spoken, high chief"
Gen Hancock, in return, said
The result on the Atlantic front i
very encouraging. May it be equalleo
at least on the Pacific coast, to whicl
[ am warmly attached. with which
am identified by earl y association
and whose interests [ understand
and IN any sphere of life would al
ways endeavor to promote"
